Serum for face photo reviews

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

– I love the Clarins brand for a long time and very sincerely for their care products, but every time I wanted to add a little more to the composition … And wishes come true!

Appearance: a transparent bottle of light cherry shade with a very convenient dispenser: the amount that is enough for the whole face is squeezed out at a time. The serum has a light sweet aroma and a delicate peach shade.

Expectations: the zest of the composition of the novelty is the extract of the Barbados cherry, which is designed to block bad signals and cause skin pigmentation disorders. Despite its properties, the serum eliminates any pigmentation disorders of the skin without changing its natural shade, which is a big plus.

Reality: creamy serum suited me in all respects. The first requirement is moisture. Since my skin is prone to dryness, hydration always comes first for me. The product did it, giving the skin a freshness and radiance. The second is an even tone. And this time it worked out! It is not for nothing that the brand’s experts conducted a number of studies with the participation of 300 women of different ethnicity with different skin colors. When using the serum, you can forget about foundations and powders for the whole summer: Mission Perfection Serum so evens and refreshes the skin that you only need to tan a little for an even perfect bronze tone.

Kristina Semina, editor of the “Lifestyle” column:

– I have one and only face serum, which I have been using courses for about two years and do not change it. But for the sake of our column I decided to test two products from other brands.

Appearance: a beautiful small pink bottle looks great on the shelf with other cosmetics. I would also like to note a very convenient dispenser, which, when pressed, gives out exactly as much product as needed.

Expectations: Weleda’s pomegranate serum is the brand’s bestseller and has won numerous awards from beauty experts. The manufacturer writes that only natural ingredients are added to its composition – pomegranate juice, citric acid, aloe leaf juice, water, glycerin and alcohol (the latter caused me concern, but I decided to accept), which strengthen the skin and activate cell renewal.

Reality: after the very first application, the skin shines (not greasy, but healthy shine!), and to the touch it becomes incredibly smooth, like a baby’s. I also liked that the product is instantly absorbed, and the texture is very pleasant: oily and light. The herbaceous smell also came to my liking, but I still heard the very notes of alcohol in it … Or maybe it’s self-hypnosis?

All in all, after two weeks of testing, Weleda Serum perfectly replaced my usual moisturizer. And this despite the fact that I have combination and sensitive skin, which does not always accept the use of new cosmetic products. I think I will continue to use the tool further, but in courses. For regular daily use, a regular cream is enough for me.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– Despite my great love for organic, I knew absolutely nothing about this brand. True, now I am very sorry that our acquaintance with Dr Alkaitis happened so late. And the compositions, and aromas, and the result from use – I really like everything in it.

Appearance: the serum is placed in a rather large bottle with a dispenser. When closed, it looks more like some kind of hairspray. It is a little inconvenient to hold and squeeze out the product, but these are all the little things in life.

Expectations: judging by the description on the can and the composition, which, by the way, is entirely natural, the serum is designed to soften, moisturize, soothe and saturate with vitamins the skin of absolutely any type. It also has an astringent effect and balances oily skin. Among the ingredients: aloe gel, vegetable alcohol, extracts of chamomile flowers, myrtle, lavender, marshmallow, mint, rosemary and much more. Natural vitamins C and B are also added to the composition. The serum really moisturizes perfectly, and also improves the complexion and even somehow tightens up a little, which is not stated in the description.

Result: I definitely liked the tool. I applied it in the morning after washing and toning, but without a day cream. I was just looking for a product that could replace the classic moisturizer, since in the warm season I don’t want to apply something once again on my face. The skin felt great: literally in one day, peeling from an unsuccessful tan disappeared. Whey is a liquid, somewhat like tea or a decoction. It smells very nice of herbs and spreads easily over the face. I think she could easily replace the tonic, as it tones up perfectly. True, for a day, probably, the third skin began to shine faster than usual. I think I’d better keep the serum for night care or keep it until the fall. I would gladly use it for the rest of my life.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

– Doctors and skin care specialists give the following definition of cosmeceuticals (and SkinCeuticals products are just such): they are products developed at the interface between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It is believed that the active ingredients in cosmeceuticals are clinically tested to improve their effectiveness on the skin.

Appearance: neat dark glass bottle with a pipette. Accompanied by an impressive size instructions.

Expectations: Serum 10 is designed for sensitive and irritated skin. It is a combination of L-ascorbic (10% pure vitamin C) and ferulic acids, which are antioxidants and help protect the skin from external aggressors and reduce the visible signs of premature aging: wrinkles and age spots.

Reality: the product looks like clear water without any odor. When applied to the face (4-5 drops as recommended by the manufacturer), it may tingle slightly, but it instantly moisturizes the skin, the feeling of tightness and dryness after washing goes away very quickly. I no longer want to apply cream after it. Ideal for the summer. One point: since the serum is recommended to be applied in the morning, it is better to use a product with SPF before going outside.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– In fact, I practically do not use organic cosmetics, and, apparently, in vain. Of course, I heard about the products of the IRUSHKA brand before, but for the first time I tried the products of this brand when I got the NMF Revitalizing Serum for testing.

Appearance: a convenient blue bottle contains 50 ml of the product. A convenient pipette dispenser allows you to take just as much product as you need for one application. However, due to the fact that the product is very liquid in consistency and rather resembles milk, the consumption is not entirely economical. To gently distribute the serum on my face, for example, I need at least 6-7 drops.

Reality: but, perhaps, this is the only thing to find fault with. Everything else I really liked about this product: very light texture (ideal for the summer period), subtle unobtrusive floral scent, fast absorption and no film feeling after application. The serum almost immediately gives a feeling of comfort and relieves the feeling of skin tightness after washing. Since I do not like fatty creams, for me this tool is just a godsend; I use it as a day and night cream, and I also noticed that this product can replace the base for makeup, the foundation spreads better and lasts longer.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– I have known Swiss line for a long time, I really like the line of caring products of this particular brand. For the first time I was able to try Aqua-Vitale Serum24 during the cold period, and then it seemed to me that the product does not completely restore and protect the skin, but for the summer period this product is just perfect.

Appearance: serum Aqua-Vitale Serum24, which contains vitamins and extracts of alpine herbs (edelweiss, coltsfoot, gentian), is in a laconic blue bottle with a convenient dispenser.

Expectations: By the way, the manufacturers promise that this product has a moisturizing, antioxidant and tonic effect and is ideal for any skin of all ages. Since I have very sensitive skin, it was important that the product is still hypoallergenic and does not cause rashes and discomfort.

Reality: the product itself is a light white gel, very delicate in texture. At the first application, there is a feeling that there is a lot of the product on the skin and it needs to be removed urgently, but after 10 seconds this feeling disappears and the skin becomes soft and moisturized.

Aqua-Vitale Serum24 coped with all the problems perfectly. However, there is still a fly in the ointment. For me it turned out to be a smell. The product has a slight fragrance, herbal smell, which I did not like at all. In general, the smell is the only negative, but this is not for everybody, as they say. Therefore, I will continue to use the product in hot weather, when the rest of the creams feel on the skin as something heavy and greasy.

Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”:

– I have known CHANEL for a long time, so I expected a lot from this product.

Appearance: lightweight plastic bottle. A convenient dispenser, one click was enough for me to distribute the product to the entire face, except for the area around the eyes. The lid with the logo closes firmly until it clicks.

Expectations: the manufacturer promises a new way to moisturize the skin and creates the revolutionary HYDRA BEAUTY Micro Sérum. It contains unique camellia microspheres produced using CHANEL’s patented microfluidic technology. This revolutionary technology makes it possible to obtain microspheres that preserve the active components in their original state. Penetrating deep into the skin, microspheres provide it with maximum hydration and exceptional elasticity. The ultra-light texture of HYDRA BEAUTY Micro Sérum moisturizing face serum brings a whole new sense of comfort to the skin.

Reality: the impression from the product was positive. The serum is very light and is absorbed in a matter of seconds, after applying the product, the face is just porcelain, smooth, it did not cause allergic reactions. I think it’s perfect to use it in the summer.
