Review (4/5): Digg’n it!
Well... I am By all accounts a Product Junkie.. I try just about anything new or different... looking for the little black pearl... I think I found one here. I only gave 4 Stars because I’ve only had it two days (so used it 4x) so I’ll update later. I worked in the medical field for 17 years and STILL I’m one of those “Instant Gratification Hunters” knowing very well they don’t exist. “Time” is key and it’s a Fact everyone has a completely different biology , Chemistry —- etc. but I used to do Botox 2x a year. ONLY between brows (compliments of being Italian 😬) but I’m so fascinated by our chemical make-up and what we eat vs. how it affects our bodies. Anyone with common sense KNOWS there is no “miracle pill” or “miracle Serum”.. it’s s cluster of Nutrition, DNA, Genetics, (you get the gist) and is why we have such varying experiences. Doesn’t mean the products are good or bad, it just might not be the right products for some. All said I actually (so far) am loving this product. I am Confused why so many reviews complain about opening or getting the serum out of the bottle. (Tip upside down and pinch the rubber extended dropper - Viola! Perfect dropper snd cant get any more simple than that. You don’t squeeze glass. This is why the dropper is rubber do you can get (pinch) a perfect amount got your skin. Now that’s out of the way. :) Moving on.. for those who know Holistic Medicine, Essential Oils or Serums/ we know all of these keep better in glass and that’s why pretty much every serum we buy (of quality) unless it’s a cream (but creams aren’t Serums, so not sure why I went there. But anyway...) I found it quit brilliant the way they gave us 2 smaller jars opposed to 1 larger jar. Another tip- every time we open a bottle a serum etc. it deoxygenates (in English= air dilutes it’s quality and in turn that breaks down the vital ingredients. So it was well executed to have. Smaller jar. (PS: I keep My 2nd one in the fridge/ same with the 24k eye patches, but I’m going off subject again) You CAN keep your “open bottle” in the refrigerator- it’s a preference. Just don’t ever keep products in HEATED areas. So the glass is a must. And other than a “dropper” thE type of rubber tip here tells me its up to us how much to pinch off. It doesn’t need to go all over the face (does anyone get Botox injections all over🤔) so for me I pinched off (again turn upside down with a light shake while from finger tip holds the cap, soooooo easy!) but I use About the size of pea or just a bit bigger..I spot treat the obvious areas and focus most on my forhead and the remaining amount I ever don lightly, in upward strokes on my face, temple, and jaw .. if you find that amount isn’t enough for you then test a few days till you get it right and any excess (of ANY TREATMENT CREAMS OR SERUMS, always wipe the back oh your hands. “Win-Win”.... and for the opening, again I have No idea the issue (likely because I worked In the industry. Any of our injectable meds came vacuum sealed with a metal lip lock we’d call it. But there are trail tracks on the top of the metal. I use Pair of flat tweezers, find the dotted line. Insert twezers there going on the top of the lid pushing outwards (holding jar tight) until it breaks the seal. Super simple. Once broken it easily peels off. And as I mentIroned earlier, I’m. Product junkie and never ever had any work done but all for it when the time comes, but our best complexion does NOT come in s bottle but rather in food. I’m 46 and these are recent pics of my youngest daughter & I. I have 3 kids (15, 21 & 28) and I’m a grandmother :). If you want good skin, won’t bore you with my full routine. But few “Must haves” for me are Obviously a great Face wash. ALWAYS Toner, followed by an Essence. Essence is so important/ it’s like the sponge to really pull all our products in. (Exfoliate 2-3 times a week) and I lighty dry brush every morning before I wash- I could Talk for an hour on that subject! But you need dry clean skin so doing it at night. You have makeup buildup. Grime, gunk... so you don’t dry brush that. If you don’t wear any makeup.. then it’s up to you. I love My little face & neck dry brush. Up and outward. 8/10’light strokes. Then go on to your routine. Say bye bye to dead skin cells and your face received much more of the products you’re applying. So Dry brush, Wash, Tone & Essence. And then I spot apply “Botulinum”... Once dry (if in. Hurry. Use a blowdryer on cool. Dries each layer in a zap!) and I use a few more but my staples are Always the Vitamin C. There is a great inexpensive one I found. Literally changed my skin for the better. And a Good HA & Peptiide. You can find many products that have peptides in HA or HA in peptides. I prefer layering. So it’s super easy once you understand. The dropper will not pour out, nor would you want to keep opening the lid) hope this helps. and don’t forget your sunscreen ☺️
