I wasn't sure what to expect with this serum as I've never used any honey based skincare so this was a new thing for me.
The bottle has a soft squeeze top and dropper for dispensing the serum and was very easy to use. Most serums I have used in the past have been a slightly thicker consistency, so I was a bit surprised that this was more runny, almost a full liquid. However it had a pleasant texture and very little odour. Visually the serum was slightly milky with gold flecks throughout.
Because it was runny, I ended up using too much the first few applications, leaving my face a little greasy. But after I figured out the right amount to dispense, the product absorbed quickly, leaving my skin soft and comfortable, with no irritation. I mainly used it at night before bed as this is the most convenient way for me to use serum.
My skin continued to feel soft during the trial, but visually I didn't notice much difference. It may be that I needed more time using the product to see results, but with the time I had, results were minimal.
In the end, I would conclude that although this was a nice serum visually and feel wise, the lack of results meant I cannot recommend it.
Thank you for the opportunity to be able to trial ‘Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Serum’. I love the product and would highly recommend it! Its only been a few days, that I’ve been using it and I already see positive results. I predict that after long time use, it’ll give me softer and finer looking skin. Currently my face is not as dry looking and feeling and I have now found a best friend for my moisturizer. Side by side, they ease the appearance of my age nemesis: wrinkles. I like the creamy soft consistency of the product and I appreciate that it has no fragrance at all. I also like how easy it is to use, thanks to the handy squeezy drop application. With that feature, it gives me a good amount of control with the quantity I use. Which helps me follow what’s stated on the bottle: a small amount each use and in return, I think the 30ml serum, will last me months, which I think is great. I love the packaging and the embossed writing on the box and on the bottle. I love how the ‘directions of use’ is simple and straightforward. Last but not least, I love that its New Zealand made. For someone growing old, like me, I highly recommend this product to be part of others’ beauty regimen.
