Snowberry New Radiance Face Serum with Cu-PEP Review

My first thoughts when I looked at the packaging was the branding is probably not targeting the age group they need to for a product that is really an anti ageing product...but hey...I'm not so old that I can't appreciate cute...but at the price point of this product and from what I have read, the product size is supposed to last approx a month if used twice a day, I would like it to be a touch classier for the bathroom counter top....cutesy does not equal classy...but if the product inside is good stuff, it's something I can live with. Smell? No smell, or a very faint one perhaps, nothing unpleasant anyway. Ok...so I reallllllly wanted this to work...I want to be positive...I really do, but honestly...I haven't noticed much of a difference in my skin on my face at all. I've used it twice a day for approx 2 weeks, and I think I can say fairly that I have a small improvement in skin tone...very very small mind you....and this product boasts all kinds of rigorous testing and also promises plenty...maybe if I continued using the product for say a couple of months I might notice more...2 weeks isn't a huge amount of time after all. I would be interested to see how it works for people with very very dry skin after the tip I have below about my dry hands. Once on my face it did take a while to dry, product suggests waiting 10mins before putting moisturiser on..I'd say at least 5mins before it feels like it's sunk in well.

i bought this in a vault, i think, and ive been using it religiously since. its a very popular brand with a hefty price tag so i was expecting big things.

it pumps out really easily and one pump is definitely enough for the face. its probably a pea sized amount that comes out and is runny like you'd expect a serum to be.

the smell... is just gross. you definitely know its all natural products. it does have a faint honey scent but its not sweet and reminds me a bit of playdough.

it applied easily and absorbed the same, but it's just.. meh. i am using a cheaper serum and i saw results the first time i used it, and with this it just felt like another unnecessary product i'd added to my regime.

it's not terrible, but its just not something i'd buy again.

This is a clear watery gel without any scent, it is easy to use and feels pleasant on. The instructions say to wait 10 minutes before applying moisturiser which is a bit frustrating if you like to just get things done quickly and get going. You definitely need to use moisturiser as well as the gel isn't moisturising itself. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin or any reduction in lines but the trial time was quite short. I will keep using it to give it the benefit of the doubt but not sure that I would go out and buy it again.

i found that this product was not as fantastic as I had hoped. It did leave my skin feeling slightly taught although this feeling went away once I had applied moisturiser after the serum had dried. Fine lines did appear to fade after using the serum but did reappear by the end of the day. It had very little smell to it which was good as I prefer face products with less scent. The trial time allowed for me to use all the product in the bottle so going off the RRP it is value for money compared to some products. I possibly would not purchase Snowberry Face Serum only because I prefer a moisturiser that contains both serum and moisturiser all in one.

This serum was ok. It wasn’t for me personally but I can see how others might like it. The consistency was nice and I instantly felt hydrated but after continuous use over a few weeks I saw no difference in my skin and found the smell of the product to be distracting and not as nice as other serums I’ve used.

Overall, not for me. But as far as natural serums go it’s be one of the best I’ve tried.

I was really lucky to get this in the vault. This serum was top-rated so I was so eager to try it. Firstly let's talk about the packaging. A+ for packaging the design on the box is unique and attractive. And the serum comes in an airless pump- my favorite type of bottle for skincare and makeup items. It's clean, hygienic, the integrity of the ingredients best preserved and importantly - you can get the ease of a pump with the benefits of a jar in that you can easily get out every last bit of product. I wish more companies would use airless pumps. The serum is a blue, light, watery gel. My skin just drinks it up and I can straight away go on to my next step in my skincare routine. It feels hydrating and refreshing on my skin. I've used it on days when my skin was rubbed extra sensitive from blowing my nose and it was non-irritating. I didn't notice much of a scent but it would've been a light scent that you would find on the unscented products. Now for results. I didn't see huge results in terms of my fine lines going away. I didn't see new lines show up on my face but then the bottle lasted me under two months when used daily. If I would've seen results it would've become a staple because the texture and packaging checks all the boxes for me.

What I really like about this serum is that it’s NZ made and has lots of natural ingredients and bonus being a generous bottle size at 35mls. I found overall it was a nice day/night serum and kept me hydrated all day. I’m not sure it did much for my skin any more than my retinol day cream but I enjoyed using it. The serum is more like a clear gel texture, I used a couple of pumps each time. The only downside I found (besides the large $ this costs) is that it remains quite sticky after you apply so it was a bit of a faff to wait 5 minutes or so after applying in the morning before carrying on with makeup. It did apply nicely under my BB cream and you can tell my skin is smoother so it’s good as a primer. I’m unsure about the active ingredient Copper Tripeptide it says in there but I’ll take their word for it. I believe it’s supposed to stimulate collagen and elastin which can only be a good thing on late 40s skin.

I decided to buy this from the beauty vault after reading some very good reviews, plus it's NZ made so I thought that had to be a bonus. It's a light serum, with a slightly herby fragrance that I haven't decided that I like or not. I don't think it's as good as the Clarins Double Serum for hydrating my skin as much as I need, but it does make my skin feel soft and smooth. I'm a firm believer that you have to give a new product a good 4 weeks to properly see the benefits, so I've given it a good go. It's light weight and not oily at all, but still give it a good 5 minutes before adding moisturiser. I think for younger skin than mine and maybe summer instead of winter this product would be absolutely amazing.

I love the thought of a nz made natural product and this was pretty good. It’s actually one of the better natural products I’ve used as usually I feel like they are too weak and my skin needs more but this one isn’t bad at all.

One pump is plenty for my face and neck. It’s quite runny so spreads well.

It’s scented but not sickly. Definitely natural smelling - floral and sweet.

It’s a bit pricey for what I would be prepared to pay for a serum like this. I got this in the vault which makes it all that much sweeter thankfully. So definitely wait for a sale at farmers.

The one annoying this is the suggestion of waiting 5 minutes until applying more skincare. I don’t have a lot of time so find I best use this when I don’t want to rush off anywhere as then I’m not waiting around to apply other things.

Nice formula that feels like it smooths and tightens at the time. Light and non greasy so nice to wear 2x a day.

For a start, the obvious benefit of using the serum is that it significantly reduces the amount of moisturiser you use (in my case by about two-thirds).

Whilst I can't claim any other major miracles in terms of using it, I do think it evened out my skin tone, as well as the usual patchiness of my combination skin.

I can't say I saw any reduction in wrinkles etc generally, however, after make-up (which again is better after the serum) there did seem to be an added smoothness.

I'd definitely use it again, and would be interested in other items in their range as well.
