I was lucky to have been sent this serum for review. I use La Roche Posay sunscreen on my face daily and love it, so I was looking forward to trying another product.
I’m 38 now and starting to notice the changes in my skin, although it’s not dramatic yet. It’s starting to tend more towards being dry and tightening up but I don’t have very defined lines yet. (Maybe it’s avoiding the sun like the plague!)
I have been trialling this product for a week and a half and so far I’m happy with the results. In my normal routine I use an oil after cleansing instead of a serum, so the texture of this was not what I was used to. It was a little stickier and at first I worried that it wasn’t going to be my thing or that it would give my makeup a weird finish.
My concerns were unfounded. I found this keeps my face feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day. Honestly my skin was a bit of a mess coming out of lockdown as I was a bit lazier with my skin care routine and probably drank more beer than water! It’s starting to feel smoother and less parched. I got ID’ed at the supermarket on Friday, so maybe I’m looking younger? Haha.
I like the clear blue glass bottle with a handy dropper. I’m a little unsure if I was using the correct amount of product but my skin seems to be happy enough with what I was doing. The fragrance was quite pleasant and familiar but I can’t recall what it reminds me of. I feel like I would buy this again but it’s a little early to say whether I like it more than my usual oil. Cost-wise they are similar.
I think my somewhat sensitive, temperamental skin just loves this brand! I received this to trial, and to be honest a little weary. I’m not the biggest user of serums but really need to start using them more. And this is one I’ll definitely continue using.
The good: it smells really good, refreshing and revitalising. It’s not too runny nor too thick so it is easy to apply without being messy. It comes in a great size - I’ve been using it everyday since I received it and feel like I’ve barely made a dent in it. I love the packaging - it feels premium and clean. And my skin feels nice and soft after applying. The best thing: it has not irritated my skin at all; not even redness after applying like I get with even basic moisturisers.
However, I haven’t noticed any difference in my skin. This could just be not using it for long enough or I just haven’t noticed anything. But considering it doesn’t irritate my skin and it’s nice to apply I will keep it up to see if it betters my skin in the long run. I would say don’t use it expecting an overnight result as this may not happen for you as it hasn’t for me. But it is a nice product that I don’t mind using longer term to see results.
Tips: Apply right before bed to clean skin to help feel relaxed and calm.
