This has come to be my favorite product in the ‘It’s all about you’ BBBE. After three days of applying this serum morning and night, I felt that my skin was looking so much more radiant and brighter than usual. So much so that I asked someone near and dear to me if they agreed, to which they replied “Yeah, I was actually thinking that earlier today.”
This serum comes in a teeny 20ml bottle with a dropper dispenser. It has a very herbal scent, kinda reminds me of tea-tree oil, but not as strong as.
It’s a very oily oil, so you need to give it a good amount of time to soak into your skin before applying anything over top of it. Because of this it’s extremely hydrating, as hydrating as it gets. So it may be a little heavy for day-time wear if you intend to wear a full face of makeup over top, and stay matte.
Personally I don’t mind all that oiliness during the day if i’m going makeup free, as it has such a brightening, smoothing and soothing effect, that it makes my skin look really youthful.
I’m really loving this serum, however I’d ordinarily feel very reluctant to spend close to $50 on such a little bottle of product. I will probably seek out something similar that’s a bit lower cost... But if I couldn’t find something comparable at the right price, I just might consider splashing out on this serum in future, or if I happen to come across a good offer on it.
Trilogy products are always brilliant. End of story. I could stop there, you would be nodding and agreeing with me right? But this serum deserves better. It deserves description. It deserves superlatives.
I was given this little brown glass bottle for Christmas - along with a few other goodies for my skin - but I put it in my drawer to use once I had finished up my current serum. Come mid-January I was ready to try my Trilogy Age Proof CoQ10 Booster serum. Three golden drops from the glass eyedropper into the palm of my hand. It felt a bit viscous and sticky. I wasn't sure how it would spread. The first few applications were a bit hit and miss. I couldn't even guarantee that I got any on my face! I think it just ended up rubbed into my hands. With a bit of trial and error I found that pressing my hands together to warm the serum and then pressing/patting it into my face seemed to make application easier. The serum has a pleasantly herbal scent which doesn't linger - I hate strong smelling facial products, don't you?
After three months of using this serum morning and night I have just a bit less than half the bottle remaining. How's that for a little going a long way? But most of all, my skin is soft, clear and healthy. My crow's feet are definitely reduced and the frown line between my brows is much less defined. Think I have found a new hero product in this lovely, lovely serum.
Tips: Warm the serum in your hands before pressing it onto your skin, concentrating on any problem areas.
