Beautiful serum
I have added this to my skin routine for about 2 years now. It's a silky serum that glides into the skin. I use morning and night and feel my skin is much more hydrated and glowing. It has a very faint fragrance that isn't overwhelming, I pair it with other products from this line. It usually goes on sale at Shoppers. It's about mid price range.
I am not very familiar with the Boots No.7 line and I have not used anything by this company previously. I have read a great deal about serums and their benefits so I decided to pick this up when it was on sale on Shoppers.
This product claims to fight wrinkles and provide a more youthful look. I can't really attest to the first claim since I'm still in my 20's and don't have any noticeable wrinkles. I use a serum more as a preventative rather than reparation measure. It definitely moisturizes, hence the more youthful look since your skin is more supple.
I initially liked using the product because that was the time when my skin was at its driest. However, the more I used it, the more I started to dislike it for several reasons. Firstly the consistently was a little bit sticky (thinner version of a silicone face primer) and it felt very heavy on the skin. It didn't absorb into my skin that well and it left an oily residue. Secondly, after multiple use, I found my skin becoming more and more oily even without the serum and that's when I started breaking out. Because this was the only product that changed in my skincare routine, I attributed the cause of my breakouts to this serum. It was just too thick that it clogged my pores.
Personally I would not repurchase this product again. I have stopped using it. The only time I would reach for it is to use as spot treatment for extremely dry patches on my face.
This cream was recommended to me by this custumer, who, despite her age, has AMAZING looking skin. She swears by it.
I don't have any fine wrinkles or signs of aging, as I am in my eraly 20s, yet I couln't resist giving this serum a try.
Maybe I will try it again later, maybe the hot humid summer and make-up combination didn't help, maybe it was something else, but I kind of broke out. I didn't even get a chance to look for other results (as in firmness, or brighter complexion). I had to stop it and go back to my old routine...
I will however give it another try, perhaps when the temperature drops.
I would say, give it a try... I was sold on all the amazing feedback on it, and the price is pretty good.
