Lovley serum for a lovley price

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this as a preventative as I'm nearing 30 & thought I best start doing something about ageing. Has the texture of an oil, no smell, easy to use the bottle. Nice to apply, doesn't leave me feeling greasy, facial oil & moisturiser go on top of it well. Have noticed a small difference in big frown lines but akin looks altogether more clear and airbrushed.

Dried my skin horribly.

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I got this product as it was recommended by an article I read. Thinking it would help my skin, I purchased it. However, it has done nothing but dried my skin making it feel tight and very itchy. I thought it was just like this as it was the first time I used it, but I persisted thinking that my skin might take to it, but a week later there was no change. This is going to the bin unfortunately. Very disappointed.
