I'm not adverse to scented skin care products by any means, but this feels intensely perfumed. If the results weren't so impressive I would have kissed this baby goodbye based on the fragrance.
BUT...it's a bloody fantastic serum, so I'll just have to block my nose and suck it up.
The serum is white and not overly runny. It's almost too thick for the dropper format - it does however spread and absorb fantastically, and seems economical with just 3 or 4 drops doing my face and neck.
I didn't react to it (I was worried I would as I've read how strong retinols can be) but I could feel it working if that makes sense. It wasn't unbearable or overly 'chemical' feeling on my skin.
I wouldn't say the results were instant, but by the 14 day mark I could see my fine lines were filled in and the deeper set wrinkles look less, well, cavernous.
The wee disclaimer on the box referred to a 4 month clinical trial, so I think if I'm happy with the results at 3 weeks, imagine how joyful I'll be after 4 months of use!
If you aren't fussed by fragranced products and are looking to add a bit of oomph to your skincare regime, give this a go!
I was very excited to get to trial this product as I'm on the otherwise of 40 and starting to see a few signs of time passing by. I love the colour of the bottle the product comes in, such an amazing blue, it always stays out on my vanity as an extra splash of colour. The serum is very easy to use applying 3-4 drops twice a week fir the first week, every second day for the second and every day for the third. The product has a lovely fresh fragrance and it absorbs quickly into the skin. I found four drops to be sufficient to do my face and neck so I feel the bottle would last a few months at least. Writing this review I have only just got to the end of the second week of use but I have found there has been some improvement to my skin. There may be a slight reduction in some of my fine lines in my smile area but the appearance of my skin has definitely improved. I feel that my skins texture seems smoother and it isn't as dry or tired as it had been. I didn't experience any redness or tingling that the accompanying information said could occur which I found surprising as my skin can be sensitive at times. I'm very interested to see what the results will be after a month's usage.
Tips: Don't forget to apply sunscreen whilst using this product
