I have been using this product day and night for 3 weeks and have loved it.
The first thing I noticed about this serum was how easy it was to spread across my skin and how it sunk into my skin, leaving a velvety texture.
My favorite way to layer this serum is to use it after my Vitamin C serum in the am and after my Retinol in the evening. Layering it this way makes my skin feel like it is locking in the treatment and creating a smooth base for moisturizer or my tinted SPF. There is a very slight numbing zing to this cream (just like the Radical Repair Barrier Balm) which I love. I imagine a barrier or shield locking into place. My skin feels comforted and soothed after use and after the first week, a bit more even. Some days I couldn’t remember if I had applied concealer!
During my 3rd week of use I took this serum on a 5-night rafting trip in the blazing sun. My skin was exposed to a lot of elements - cold water, hot sun, crazy wind and dryness. I couldn’t wait to slather this on my skin in the afternoons. I returned from the trip with surprisingly even skin tone and less redness than I expected. I think the serum did a great job creating a barrier and prepping/calming my skin. The format also held up and didn’t get watery in the sun and heat which was a plus.
5 stars for smooth texture, ability to layer products and creating even skin tone.
