Hello Beautyholics,
I hope you are well!
Today, I am going to blog about something that you may have already come across on Instagram, the Skin Kissed Vitamin C serum.
I was contacted by SkinKissed last month and I was asked if I would be interested in testing their Vitamin C serum. After looking into the brand and serum, I thought I would give it a whirl.
Personally, I have come across quite a few reviews of this serum and so far, I am yet to read a negative post...
The product claims to:
Nourish, enhance and leave your skin glowing. It contains 4 ingredients: Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, collagen & rose oil.
The instructions for use are to use it twice a day, morning and night after washing your face. It also claims that it can be used under your foundation and it is also supposed to help combat acne.
I suffer from enlarged pores and quite dull skin and I often find that when I wake up in the morning my skin doesn't look as plump as I would like it to be - which often then leads me to piling on makeup and covering my face with foundation. Yep, I know, this is probably also another reason why my skin doesn't look its best! However, you get it - its a vicious cycle!
I'm not usually someone who uses many serums, mostly because I try to keep my skincare to the minimal basics. However, when I received the bottle I was really excited to try it out.
It came in this small black bottle with gold writing across it. Very simple and plain... but you know me, I LOVE simple things, especially when it comes to skincare. However, I found this serum really easy to use because I only needed a few drops and I used it instead of my moisturiser at night time. I did also use it under my makeup in the day time.
The thing that I was the most impressed with, was that it comes with a pump which allows you to measure how much product you use, ensuring that there is no wasted product.
I'm one of those people who dislikes wasting things, regardless of what it is - probably also why I'm a chubba, because I always make sure none of the food on my plate gets wasted ;) (haha). Anyway, I find that one of the many downfalls with most products is that they are not designed to prevent product wastage. So I was glad to see that this serum was not part of the wastage gang.
I decided to test this serum out for a whole 28 days before giving you guys a review as I wanted it to be honest. So now that the full 28 day are up here is what I found:
Pros
❤️ Barely any scent - this is great because I used this before going to bed at night and I did not want anything highly fragrant
❤️ Skin felt softer after application
❤️ Plumper skin - I found that when I got out of bed in the morning my skin looked brighter and all round healthier
❤️ It did not break me out
❤️ Absorbs right into the skin enabling you to apply makeup over it without it slipping off
❤️ Not tested on animals - I think nowadays, given the modern advancements, there is no excuse for companies to test products on animals. I'm all for brands who care about the planet and do not test on animals!
Cons
❤️ Retails at £29.99 for a 20ml bottle - I think that they could do with giving more product for the price. However, they do great offers if you purchase more than 1 bottle...so if you can get yourself a bestie to also try the product you can save a little - I mean, this is also what besties are for right? ;)
So, my overall opinion is that it is certainly a GREAT product which I would urge you all to try out. It did really help my skin look plumper and I actually saw a reduction in blackheads - particularly around my nose and forehead. So for this reason I would rate it a solid 9/10!
How about you, have you tried any Vitamin C serums before? Let me know what you have tried and how you have got on!
❤️
Love, ML x
