I received this in Memebox Superbox #70 Thumbs Up! Bloggers' Picks. I haven't had the best luck with Memebox products and this one looks pretty rubbish - the container feels cheap and looks tacky - but I was pleasantly surprised by the product itself. Hooray for that!
Secret Key claims/product details:
- Specifically targets signs of fine wrinkles and lines on your face
- Works to tighten and lift dry, sagging skin
- Provides a more youthful, healthier-looking complexion
- Ingredients include licorice extract, boswellia serrata resin extract, black mulberry extract, ginseng extract
- To use: massage over your face until all the capsules from the cream pop and absorb completely into the skin
- RRP $34USD for 55g, but do shop around - I've seen it for $10
Verdict
This isn't really a cream - as you can see, it's more of a gel - but anyhoo. What's important is that it's a decent product and I'm enjoying using it.
I don't notice any popping action from the capsules: I'm sure that's more of a gimmick than anything else. But it does have a slight brightening, tightening effect - kind of like it's performing a toning action.
My skin definitely looks fresher after using it, but it's not particularly moisturising/hydrating so it's not one I can use on its own: I prefer applying it throughout the day over makeup. It wears well over makeup (not all products do) and plumps my skin up so the fine lines diminish. That's a major plus, although I do have to keep reapplying it because the effect isn't lasting. That's ok, I don't mind keeping my face hydrated throughout the day anyway. Plus this gel has a soothing, cooling effect so it's one I don't mind applying a few times.
I like it, but I wouldn't buy it. It's one of those products that you like well enough but wouldn't seek out.
