Review (3/5): Starting to react, tiny itch on my face by left nostril.
I have been using this for about 5-days. I replaced the current moisturizer to try this serum. I have dry and mature skin.
Results;
1)Started to get a small reaction on my left side nostril. Starting to itch. Tiny spot.
2)Face felt smooth after application
3)used only a larger size dime, for my face
4)not oily
5)faint scent of alcohol
6)light feeling. Not heavy on my face
7)feels clean
8)Vegan
9)Not tested on animals.
Negative:
1)pricey for the amount
2)Tiny itch starting to form, near left nostril on face
There are a lot of ingredients! Nevertheless, It is pricey but the top-5 ingredients besides water, are listed here:
1)Glycerin-good hydrator by pulling water to surface of skin; helping to “plump “ your skin
2)Propanediol- one of it’s uses is an emollient to help retain hydration and moisturize in skin.
3)Cetyl Ethylhexanoate - one uses is to help texture; protects skin and traps moisture. Bad is derived from palm oil (sustainability issues)
4)Sorbitol - a type of sugar that supposedly makes a formula less cloudy; attracts and hold moisture; stabilizer (helps hold formula together); Used to add sweetness to lip products.
5)Dipropolyene Glycol - a type of alcohol. A chemical that helps stabilize a formula with its texture and helps dissolve other substances; supposedly, enhances penetration into skin.
The list of ingredients go on forever. There is a warning: Do not apply it on a part where you have a scar, eczema or dermatitis. So, since I’m starting to form a tiny itch, I will stop using it. I will be going back to my moisturizer. 3-stars, for me.
