I bought this when there was a 3 for 2 deal, after reading the outcomes of their clinical trial. Being a research geek, I was impressed by the results of the trial. I've also long been a fan of their New Radiance serum. But here's the thing - while this new Intense Renewal Serum is definitely good, I honestly don't think it's worth paying double the price of their New Radiance serum. To be honest, I also prefer using the NR serum, as it absorbs more readily and makes my skin feel instantly firmer. The IR serum does leave my skin glowing, and gives more of a moisture kick, but it take longer to absorb, and is just so much more pricey for what I don't believe are any better results. It's so expensive I don't feel like I can use it on my chest, neck, or hands, like I do with their NR serum (and I have seen significant improvements in my hands and chest thanks to the NR serum. So all in all, yes it's a good quality serum, but I honestly don't think it's worth double the price of their other serum.

Reviews
Just like the reviewer below, I brought this on a 3 for 2 deal and purchased it after reading a lot on the successful clinical trials. I am a big fan of Snowberry and as I've had such success with their other products I thought this would be brilliant. This Serum is almost 3 times the price of their New Radiance Serum, and I honestly find this to be too heavy for my skin (normal/ oily). I have been using this for 3-4 months and while it is indeed good, it is just not as good for my oily skin as the New Radiance serum is. I would recommend this if you have mature/ dry skin and if the price is not a major barrier for you.
I received a deluxe sample of this in my Beautiful Christmas NZ advent calendar. The sample was enough to last me around three weeks, using it every day in the morning. I have previously used Snowberry's New Radiance serum before and was interested to see how they compared as there is a considerable price difference.
Like the other serum, one pump is enough to cover my whole neck and face even though this is quite a thin gel. It absorbs immediately and leaves skin feeling smooth. Again, like the other serum you have to allow five minutes for it to works it's magic before applying moisturiser over top. Even if I don't get around to putting another product over top in this current heat, my skin still feels smooth and never feels tight.
During the three weeks that I used this, my fine lines do seem to have softened. It would be interesting to see what the long term affects of using this would be. However, I don't really see any difference between this and the much more affordable New Radiance serum. For that reason, I probably won't be purchasing this but it has reminded me how great the other serum is and to buy that again.
This is the first time, l have bought this product, Snowberry Youth Renewing Serum , in my mothers day gift box ! It goes on like a dream and is good to layer with other products as well I have sensitive skin in some areas and always a bit wary of trying new face products, but this was a dream for my skin , Not greasy , yet hydrating my skin and it goes on and absolutely perfectly
I got this in the Mother’s Day pack so I followed the instructions and used it before moisturiser. With 3 days I was breaking out with pimples so stopped and they went away. I gave it to someone else but she irregularly uses it and hasn’t reported any problems. Just not for me.
This is the second product of Snowberry's that I find the pump does not work well. This is a major disappointment as the same with the night cream I struggle to get enough product out so by the time I have shaken and repumped I am over trying. When I have managed to get enough product I love it but now I can't wait to finish the product so I can throw containers away.What a shame as this is the only reason I have marked the product down.
Tips: If pump is an issue try shaking for a while
A 4ml sample of Snowberry Intensive Renewal Face Serum was the Day 1 gift in a 2017 Beauty Advent Calendar.
This anti-aging serum is a peachy-colored liquid gel, with a fruity scent. It contains Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ubiquinone (a natural anti-oxidant), and Hyaluronic Acid (a humectant) to help increase skin hydration and plumping. Macadamia nut and Sunflower Seed oils act as a skin-softening base and provide Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids to the skin. It also promises to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen, elastin and glycan production, and to increase skin radiance and improve skin tone.
After reading all that, I was really expecting a lot from this little tube of serum. 4ml may not seem like a lot, but it lasted me a month, and as I have oily skin, I used this serum at night instead of a night cream. It does state on Snowberry's website that no other product should be applied for at least 5 minutes after the Serum, to allow sufficient time for eProlex™ activation.
Yes, I liked the feel and smell of the serum, and it did hydrate my skin well, but I didn't see any difference in the fine lines around my eyes. The little vacuum pump sample bottle ensured that every last drop was used, but would I purchase a full sized bottle? Probably not. I just feel that this product is seriously overpriced. It is very expensive, and there's no way I can justify spending that much money on a facial serum.
Apparently, Snowberry's New Radiance Face Serum is just as good, and is more affordable, so I may give that one a try the next time I'm looking for a serum.
Tips: Use sparingly, one pump was sufficient for my face and neck.
Received in the Xmas BBBE. Love the beautifully embossed box it came in. The packaging itself is a white pump top container. Quite plain really but matches the rest of the range. Looks nice when lined up with the other products. Easy and controlled dispenser, no product waste which is a benefit.
Slightly sticky on application. Dries down though. Layers well with my other products. Will finish this is in about a month and a half of use, which is quite fast compared to other serums I have used that last a few months.
At the price point rrp $110 (though I just did a search online and it can be find for half price) there is no way I would repurchase. I've used serums at a more affordable price point and seen the same results
The serum feels very sticky on the face and feels almost thin not as smooth and bouncy as other serums I have had. I was looking forward to using this but was disappointed.
I was lucky enough to win the new Snowberry serum, as it's out of my current price range.
I am currently doing a skin renewal program with Caci and I do believe that this product helped, in additon to my derma roller, develop collagen and help with my old acne scars.
The product is light and easy to apply. And the instructions even say to use sparingly, I am noramlly heavy handed with skin care so having this on the instructions spoke to me on the power of the product and the integrity of the company that made it.
The instructions also say to leave for five minutes before applying more skin care. This is important to ensure the serum reaches the skin level needed to make a difference. If you don't do this the next product you apply will not absorb properly.
Tips: Follow the instructions, leave for five minutes before applying more skincare.
