Sooo, I bought this product from the BR Beauty Vault, as I've heard about serums but wasn't sure what they really are or what they do. I liked the sound of pomegranite and borage for skin health; pomegranite for antioxidant, anti aging, exfoliating, and moisturising properties, and cellular regeneration, and borage for it's anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties.
It comes in a very pretty 30 ml blue bottle with a spray cap. I use it by spraying it onto my fingers and rubbing into my face, or spraying directly on my face. It has quite a powerful stream.
The smell is unusual - a cross between grated carrots and photocopy fluid. Not particularly nice but not horrid either.
The ingredients are Squalane (Olive), Punica granatum (Pomegranate Oil), Borago officinalis (Borage Oil), D-Alpha, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Essential oil Cananga odorata (Ylang-ylang), Essential Oil Citrus aurantium (Neroli), so it is very rich.
I find the oil rolls on like silk and is slow to absorb so leaves a slight sheen on the skin. I like this as my skin is very dry so it ends up with a bit of a glow. I can't imagine it would be good for oily skin.
It certainly helps with moisturising. I have nearly finished the bottle and haven't yet noticed a great reduction in skin damage but my skin feels healthy and soft.
I would recommend this product to others to try and would repurchase it myself, as it is around $29.00 and this seems reasonable for a product containing so many good oils.
This serum worked really well for me. I have oily mature skin but after using this under my usual moisturiser, I wasn't oilier.
First of all it smell divine and it would linger during the day.
It is a very fine oil so absorbed well into my skin. It also spread well so only one pump is required as will cover your face and neck well.
I would definitely recommend this serum as it is also very good value for money for a natural oil serum.
Tips: Only need to use one pump of the bottle.
