How does this product measure up to the Chatelaine test? Our readers had this to say…

Skin Situation: Normal skin with breakouts here and there

“I’ve never tried a serum before, so I was excited about this product—especially the size of the bottle, because normally when I think of serums I always think I’m going to get something super expensive and in a small bottle. When I first put it on, it’s wet and refreshing, which I love, but it blends into my skin and doesn’t affect the makeup I put on after. After applying at night before my moisturizer, I noticed I was waking up with plump and smooth skin. For this reason alone, I’ll be adding it to my normal routine. I think it’s a great first product for someone new to serums.”

Skin Situation: Dry skin during winter with oily T-zone

“My skin is usually dryer in the winter months, so I tend to use thicker face creams to keep my skin plump in the cool weather. I’ve used serums in the past, but not consistently enough to see a difference. At first glance, I love the packaging and the fact that it has no artificial scent. I really liked this serum and found that it made my skin very moist. Although some days it did seem a little oilier under my makeup, it was also summertime. I used it morning and night and noticed my skin was softer, less dry and had a healthy shine and brightness. I noticed that I didn’t have to use a face scrub as often, too. Honestly, I noticed an almost immediate change in my complexion and will definitely be incorporating it into my long-term skincare routine!”

Skin Situation: Clear and soft with a few blemishes and fine lines

“I never switch up my skincare routine, not even for the winter months. Trying out a new serum was exciting because I’ve never tried this kind of product before, although I’ve thought about it. The product looked good quality just from the packaging alone, and I liked that it has a light scent and how it felt smooth on my skin immediately after applying it. I used it every morning and night after washing my face and before applying my moisturizer, and I loved how refreshing it felt on my skin. The biggest thing I noticed was a bit of a difference in the appearance of lines and fine wrinkles, which really impressed me! I could see myself using this daily.”
