Review: Skinkissed facial serum

   If you have oily or combination skin like myself then this multi-purpose facial serum is the product for you. I am particularly prone to oily skin in the T-zone area (forehead, nose and chin) so, when Skinkissed were kind enough to send me this serum to review, it was an absolute godsend.

Ingredients

   The serum's key ingredient is vitamin C - otherwise known as ascorbic acid - which is essential for healthy skin. Its properties as an antioxidant enables it to revitalise and strengthen your skin as well as even out the tone and improve the texture. This can often be found in sun-creams and oils. 

   It also contains hyaluronic acid, which is vital for hydrating your skin, aiding the production of collagen and maintaining your skin's elasticity. It also has anti-bacterial qualities that help your skin to heal! 

   Collagen substantially improves your skin's elasticity but, although your body naturally produces it, this does slow down with age. Sunburn, smoking and a poor diet also causes collagen production to decline. Therefore, this serum would be perfect if you have aging skin or you are prone to any of the above.

   The final ingredient in this super skin serum is rose oil, which is particularly renowned for treating acne. It also enhances your skin's permeability, which basically means that it opens up your skin so that it can absorb all the good nutrients!

 
   It is worth noting that this product is 100% cruelty free.

Using the Product

   What is great about this product is that it can be used for multiple purposes:

• Skin-care routine: Apply it twice a day - morning and night - under your moisturiser.
• Make-up routine: Use it as a primer under your foundation or apply it on a brush to blend your make-up.
• Treatment: Use it to treat acne, blemishes and oily skin.  

I opted for the skin-care routine, paying particular attention to the blemishes on my face. I had a pretty bad breakout just before I started using this serum. 

   I incorporated it into my skin-care routine by applying it under my Superdrug Vitamin E Moisturising Day Cream after having a shower in the morning. Then, at night, I would wash my face, cleanse it with Witch Hazel and apply the serum followed by my Superdrug Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream.

Did it work?

   After using this product for three weeks, I can confirm that I have seen visible results. My blemishes have faded and, even with this heatwave, the oily-ness of my skin has improved. 

   My skin feels clearer, smoother and healthier. 

   I am not going to lie, I did have my reservations when I first started using it because - until that point - I had never used a facial serum before and was not sure about its purpose. After application, I did feel quite sticky, which initially put me off, but this fades after a few minutes. Nonetheless, I do wash my hands before moving onto my moisturiser.

Is it worth the price?

   The Skinkissed Vitamin C Serum retails at £29.95, which I originally regarded as way over-priced. However, considering that it is a multi-purpose serum that actually works, I would deem that a bargain buy. Definitely better than splashing out on one of those expensive high-end skincare products that does exactly the same thing as a drugstore product. 

   What's even better though is, if you are not satisfied with the product, Skinkissed will provide you with a full refund and help you to find a product catered to your skin's requirements so you literally have nothing to lose!

   20% of every purchase made with Skinkissed will go to charities that support children with mental health disabilities.
