Yasmin's skin journey
Yasmin’s skin on day one compared to six weeks of daily use.
Yasmin's goals: I’ve been using vitamin C serums for years, mainly to improve my radiance, glow and to work towards a more even skin tone. Overall, I think it helps protect my skin from signs of damage caused by UV rays and the environment. I applied the serum after cleansing in the morning, before my moisturiser and SPF.
How does the formula feel? I was worried it was going to feel too greasy as I have oily skin, so I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it is and how quickly it absorbs into my skin. It sat beautifully with the rest of my routine and worked really well with all of my current products.
How did your skin look immediately after applying? While I understand the benefits of consistent use, it’s still nice to see an instant improvement so I was pleased to find that my skin looked brighter and more radiant after applying, which lasted all day.
How did your skin progress over time? As time went on, I noticed that my fine lines looked more blurred, which isn’t something I expected or have experienced before from a vitamin C serum. It seems like the product is making my skin look plumper and feel firm to touch, which makes my wrinkles appear less visible. This is a huge win as I’ve turned 30 so slowing signs of ageing is something that’s very much on my radar!
How does your skin look after six weeks? It just looks so much healthier! My skin looks more even with a lovely glow, so i've been wearing less makeup. You can definitely tell the difference between this serum’s potency and other ones that I’ve tried, so it’s worth the investment.
