![]() Niacinamide – multi-functional: anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, barrier repair etc.įree of alcohol, but contains Bergamot essential oil listed at the end. Some of them also have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The serum is packed with other goodies as well that have soothing properties such as: Centella Asiatica, Green Tea, Chamomile Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin, Skullcap Root. It contains 70% Propolis Extract which is said to have numerous benefits such as moisturizing, antimicrobial, acne-fighting and wound healing.ġ7% Sea buckthorn Fruit Extract helps with brightening and reduces redness. (You may still come across the old ingredients list online, however, the one below is the current formulation.) This is the most recent formulation that I’m reviewing (June 2022) and I have to say that it has changed drastically from its previous version. I didn’t experience any skin irritation or bumps. Plumps up the fine lines to some extent but not fully, because as I said, for my current skin condition it doesn’t provide enough moisture on its own. ![]() Pimples are healed slightly faster and don’t look as angry and inflamed, although results are not super dramatic. My skin feels overall more calm and less red (let’s say by 50%), which as a result appears a bit brighter too. Also, I mainly incorporate it in my nighttime routine because when I wake up my complexion looks more vitalized. In terms of effects, I love how soft and smooth it makes the surface of my skin. My preferred way to use the serum is sandwiching it between my toner and moisturizer without letting it dry down completely. Their Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum would be a better choice. But, if you’re mainly looking for intense hydration then this is not it. Dry/dehydrated skin can still use it at the serum step like you would use it normally. However, this means that it would work great with fewer skincare steps for those with normal, oily skin in winter, and combination skin types. So I’d sum it up as moderately hydrating /moisturizing. It does have an emollient feel, but not enough of what dry/very dry skin would require. However, for my skin type and condition (oily dehydrated that feels drier after returning from my summer vacation) at the moment I wish this was more hydrating and more moisturizing on its own. ![]() It falls into the category of textures that I like: lightweight, but has that slip that makes it glide on the skin. I’m not good at describing scents, but in my book this smells nice. ![]() It smells like a mix of sweet floral and herbal. The scent is noticeable, but not overpowering. And, it doesn’t take very long to absorb. Yes, it IS a bit tacky at first, but it goes away once it dries down. The formulation is on the watery side, feels lightweight, with a slightly viscous texture and has great slip which makes it go on easily. Is this thick and sticky? I, too, have this thought unconsciously when it comes to products related to honey/bees.Īnd we’re talking about a sticky, glue-like substance so it’s only normal to think the consistency of the serum would not be pleasant. You can let it absorb completely or continue immediately with the next step of your routine, your moisturizer. After cleansing and/or toning apply a couple of drops on the face and spread the serum around in circular motions.
