Surprise Find!

For $10 (I bought this from an ELF store in the US and it may in fact have been a free product for me that day) the value is fantastic! I love that it has a niacinamide which is a B Vitamin - I am a vitamin/supplement junkie and believe in taking care of my skin from the inside and outside, so I love products that have these elements, like skincare w Vitamin C that gets applied topically as well as taking a VitC supplement daily! My skin feels plump (to help ward off wrinkling and fine lines), moisturized and smooth after I use apply this product (onto cleansed skin), I usually leave it a bit to breathe and soak in before I apply a moisturizer at night - however before writing this review I quickly looked online and not only is niacinamide helpful for acne, rosacea and overall skin health (I don’t have any skin issues other than my skin can tend to the dryer side) it may potentially help protect from UV!! -so I may start applying it in the AM (again giving it a few mins) before I apply my makeup and go out for the day! I am not sure how easy it will be to find here in Canada (I recently saw ELF at Old Navy here but not sure if they have this particular product) but it is DEFINITELY SOMETHING I WOULD REPURCHASE. I don’t love the dropper bottle (but not sure how else I would suggest it be dispensed... perhaps a pump?) I find it’s tricky to get onto my fingers as it liquidy and runs through them, was trying to not put on my palms to conserve product but thats not a show-stopper issue for me (just feel like there may be a better way possibly), the drops do feel a little sticky to me straight out of the bottle (if that’s an issue for you) but feel like it almost applies like water and soaks in/dries quickly. I like the little bottle itself it’s simple in design and cute - I believe both bottle and dropper are glass/ceramic which has a nice weight and I much prefer to plastic! I have not looked into the ingredients but I do believe they are quality especially for the price point. Overall my experience with this product has been great and without any drawbacks - so 5 stars #ELF #Skincare #Beauty #Serum
