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.

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 tried this serum because i saw the ad that claimed it was the only proven serum to reverse fine lines and wrinkles. While others make the claim, Snowberry had scientific research proving it. So i thought.... lets give it a go.

Ive now been using this for over a year or two and am on my 3rd bottle, i previously had used high end serums with only very slight results. With Snowberry you can actually notice the results, and i am really happy with them.

It has a very lightweight almost water feel when applied, not at all oily, and absorbs completely into skin.

Bloody amazing. I have only been using this for 2.5 weeks (along with the Snowberry Bright Defense moisturizer) and I have really noticed a difference in my skin. My skin tone is much more even, the redness is much lighter, and my skin is actually glowing in a way that I haven't seen in a very long time! I didn't like the packaging at first - it is in a long plastic pump, but I travel a lot and it is fantastic for travel as it will not break rattling around in my bag. Can't say I notice any sort of fragrance but it absorbs quickly into the skin and feels great on and doesn't leave any residue. This serum is so amazing I don't think I will ever use anything else!

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

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.

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.

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 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.
