Product Description
A lightweight pre-moisturizing serum that maintains optimum moisture levels
leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Regular use hydrates and improves firmness
and elasticity. It is easily absorbed and helps skin feel firmer and more toned.
This serum contains pomegranate extract which is a powerful antioxidant that
helps the skin remain plump and protect it from environmental aggressors. It
contains community fair trade brazil nut oil which moisturizes and helps to
leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and supple. It also contains apple extract
that help skin maintain elasticity.
I received 5 sachets from the September Glamabox and have been using it for the past 3 weeks. With a distinct scent of pomegranate, this product has a lightweight oil-based texture, which gives a silky and smooth feel on the skin after application. It is non-greasy and non-sticky and sinks into the skin rapidly, leaving a smoother and toned skin.
I used it on my hubby's reddened skin due to sun exposure and it did help to slightly soothe his skin, reducing the redness and flakiness just after one application.
Retailing at $56.90 for 30ml size, it seemed expensive when you considered the ingredients contained in it - solvents, silicones, stabilizers, and fragrance additives.
Preservative phenoxyethanol is high in the list with 5 other parabens in the later part of the ingredient list. Beware if you are sensitive to fragrance as this serum does contains a few fragrances.
While I do like the product for a smoother and toned skin as well as lightly hydrated skin, the ingredients do not justify the price. It also does not provide any firming effects and elasticity as claimed but then again, perhaps its not so obvious at my age.
