Review (5/5): Inner glow in a bottle!
I would just like to start off by saying that I have been an avid Vitamin C user for a little over a year now and I have seen great changes in my skin. It has helped drastically with my acne scaring, as well as making my skin "glow from within". Vitamin C is particularly great for using after dermarolling. Vitamin C is great for a wide range of things from anti- aging benefits, dark spot corrector, post blemish redness corrector, amplified UV protection when used prior to a sun screen and even helps to boost collagen production.
My problem with typical Vitamin C serums is that they are overly drying. I have very dry skin so it's a real problem for me. I was surprised to see that this was packaged in a pump rather than a dropper like most. The consistency of this serum is a little bit more thick than typical vitamin c serums, somewhere between a liquid and a gel. I think due to the different texture of the product it is much more dry skin friendly than other vitamin c serums. I have been using this product for a few days now in the morning and at night following my cleansing routine and I haven't noticed any dryness- amazing! This morning I was running super late and didn't have time to apply a moisturizer after applying this serum. Four hours later, and my skin is not dried out, and it feels so smooth; as if I WAS wearing a moisturizer. My skin feels supple and baby soft, I'm so impressed! However, I do typically follow up with a moisturizer a few minutes after applying! The packaging is so chic and I love that it's in a pump because I can quickly apply with one pump rather than having to count out the drops as I would with alternative vitamin c serums.
Here is how to use it:
(1) Prepare the skin by washing your face with warm
water and your preferred facial cleanser;
(2) Apply a small amount of this vitamin C Serum and
gently rub across your face using small circular motions;
(3) For best results use twice daily, in the morning
and at night before going to bed; and
(4) If you feel any dryness, use a moisturizer.
This product is great for applying prior to foundation, it will leave your skin radiant and glowing!
What first caught my eye was the packaging- I am a sucker for a pretty product. Unlike most serums this comes in a matte like bottle, it is so pretty! The packaging just looks so elegant and inviting.
Also, I love that it came with a little pictorial on how to give yourself a face massage, such a cute little touch!
The picture shown is a combination of this product WITH their hyaluronic acid serum- a definite MUST TRY!!! Just look at how radiant, clear and healthy the left hand is compared to the right!
I will continue to use this products within the next few weeks to come and I will update if my opinions change in any way.
