Labonics Balance Serum

One of the most annoying things about having combination skin is the decision about whether to target the dryness or the oiliness with skincare. Generally I choose to target dryness because it's easier to cover pimples than dry skin and I live with the pimps. Well no more!!!

I love this product. It's been a revelation for me. My problem area was my chin, no matter how on top of my regime I was I was always plagued by breakouts. Since using this I've had no breakouts and even better the redness that was always there due to pimples in various stages of healing has gone. I feel confident in my naked skin for the first time.

Because this is a serum it's perfect for targeting small problem areas like mine. I apply in between toning and moisturising and haven't had to change my regime at all it's fitted in with my existing products perfectly. Also targeting small areas means a little goes a long way. Just a little dab on the end of my finger is plenty.

The product itself is pleasant smelling, although perhaps a tad filmy. I don't notice this at all once I have my moisturiser on though.

The one caution I will make is that it may not be suitable for sensitive skin. I have reactive skin and at times I notice a momentary red tinge to my skin. Luckily my chin is very robust and I haven't reacted to it aside from this.

My skin has been a bit weird lately, so I was digging around in my draw and found the 10 day sample pack of the balancing serum I had been sent. 4 days later? Skin has cleared up, feels smoother, and just quietly I think I look a couple of years younger. The product can be used sparingly, a little goes a long way. It has a pleasant herby smell. I'm going online to buy this now. Love it.

As I am getting older I am aware how important hydration is for my skin. I am always on the lookout for serums as I believe these in conjunction with my usual moisturizer will benefit my skin.

Labonics Balance Serum comes in a 100ml bottle and will cost you $39.00 at Farmers.

I use a serum on my freshly cleaned face and neck. The consistency of this is quite thin which absorbs into my skin easily. When I was younger my skin was quite oily but now it can be quite dry so this serum I found suits my skin well.

Since using this serum I have noticed my skin is softer and smoother and my skin tone is slowly starting to change. I am looking forward to seeing more results from this in the future.

I'm a big serum user so I was looking forward to trying this. My skin is normal to oily in summer, and while breakouts are thankfully rare, I do have an issue with oiliness. I've not seen many other serums that are marketed for oily skin or for sebum balancing, so it's nice to see this part of the skincare market better catered for.

I tried a sample of this, and the first thing I noticed was how runny it was - it was almost the texture of water, rather than the more oily serums I am used to. It felt great smoothed all over my face after cleansing. It felt very moisturising, and it absorbed extremely quickly leaving my skin feeling quite taut and looking matte.

It smells nice and fresh and I would definitely use it again, though if I was to use it in winter I would follow with a rich and more nourishing moisturiser. I love that it's a New Zealand company and is organic - I will be trying more products from them.

I would think this product is best suited to those with oily to combination oily skin. Dry skins will probably need something richer.
