Snowberry New Radiance Face Serum with Cu-PEP Review

A friend and I attended a Snowberry evening at a local pharmacy. I liked the sound of this serum and the scientific evidence that was presented was compelling so I decided to give it a go. I purchased the smaller 30ml bottle that is now coming to an end about 10 weeks later. I have used it twice a day.

I like the pump packaging as it means you only use the amount that you need. 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 feel smooth but not with the feeling of a heavy moisturiser. I wait the recommended 10 minutes and apply BB cream straight over top during the day and a moisturiser at night. It takes a bit of getting used to waiting the 10 minutes so I just go off and do something else in the meantime. Even if I don't get around to putting another product over top sometimes, my skin still feels smooth and never feels tight.

I didn't notice any change in my skin at first but now at the end of the bottle, my skin has definitely become firmer. I've even noticed this around my jaw line where it has had a slight lifting effect. This is enough for me to want to use this again! Snowberry are releasing a 'super serum' in 2017 so I will be panning off a few other serums in the meantime and getting that one.

This is the serum I've been waiting for! I've spent months looking for something that will make a difference to my skin tone and fine lines and nothing has cut the mustard, until now!

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I must admit the packaging for Snowberry is very sweet, however it didn't seem to gel with the claims being made. For something as high quality as this I would expect the packaging to reflect that. That's not to say it's bad, just unexpected and perhaps not a reflection of the quality the brand produces. The serum comes in a pump bottle, my favourite kind, where every pump sees the product being pushed up, so you're not left with a whole lot that you can't get to sifting round the bottom and sides at the very end. Yay!

I found one pump was enough for me to cover my face and neck. It's a really interesting texture, a cool watery gel that doesn't feel like a lot. Even on my skin I didn't feel as if anything was happening. No tingling, no tightening. There's no smell either, which I like. But OMG, after using this religiously twice a day, and waiting the ten minutes they suggest before applying anything else, I am seeing change!

The fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes appear less deep. My skin is super soft. My partner even commented that it looked softer. As for radiant? Yes sirree. It's radiant alright. I even felt ok enough about my skin to go without foundation the past few days. That never happens!

The bottle will probably last me around six weeks at this rate, and once it's finished I will be purchasing. This is my holy grail. Thank you so much for the opportunity Beauty Review.

Have just finished using my first bottle, the texture of my skin is better, however I have noticed my pores appear larger, but this may be the moisturiser. The air tight pump bottle is great as you can work out how much you need without wasting any. However you can not see when the bottle is running out until it is empty so thats frustrating.

I purchased the largest size bottle of this about a month ago, after researching obsessively what serums out there actually work for aging skin. this was developed by chemistry researchers at Auckland University, and in a double blind international clinical trial, actually achieved better results than big brand, far more expensive, overseas products. so go Auckland Uni researchers! I think this is great value for money when you consider the ingredients and time and effort in developing the product, and great to support local business. I like the gel texture that readily absorbs, and there's no offensive fragrance, and nor does it irritate my skin. but best of all, I started to notice my skin improving by about the 3rd week - my skin is more supple and soft, and some of the pigmentation seems to be fading. I haven't noticed any improvement on my fine (or deeper) lines so far, but from other reviews on other sites I read, apparently this does happen for some people after months of use. We shall see I guess. either way, for the improvements I've seen, it's worth the price. My only concern is the clear bottle - I worry about light damaging the ingredients, so I keep it in a dark cupboard.

I first used this at east day spa when it was used in a facial. I love this product, its awesome quality however is a little on the pricy side. I found that this didn't irritate my sensitive skin.

I like New Radiance Face Serum's gel-like texture - it's very easy to apply and is absorbed well with minimal rubbing. Its fragrance is light and pleasant, just a little flowery.

The gel is packaged in an easy-to-use plastic pump bottle, and the amount is generous. Overall it is an amazing product to use , love it

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.

This product has a lightweight lotion texture that spreads easily yet feels very hydrating. Because it contains various antioxidants, I’ve been enjoying using it in my morning routines.’ve noticed a marked increase in brightness and hydration in my skin since using this serum, and I love how it is a multitasker with stabilized vitamin C, niacinamide, antioxidants, and peptides (particularly copper tripeptide, which is a must for me in addition to the matrixyls). The Harakeke seed oil is very promising and I think the plant oils in this serum aid in keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day.

I bought this in the Beauty Vault having read all the reviews about Snowberry - so was really excited to try this product.

It's a lovely pump bottle - one pump is enough for face and neck, and it goes on lovely and smooth. I leave it for 5-10 minutes and continue with moisturiser and primer

After use, my skin feels lovely and smooth, and really soft. Over a period of 4 weeks my skin appeared brighter as well.

If I had to fault it, it would only be that this product with my skin type, didn't deliver on everything I like in a serum. Being in my 40's hydration is an important component of my skincare, and unfortunately I didn't feel using this product alone plus moisturiser gave me the boost of hydration some serums can deliver.

It is definitely a lovely product to use, and there is noticeable softness and brightness to skin with continued use. With using this product I'm keen to try another of their serums
