little white truths

As you may know, I received three Jurlique products not long ago to test, and this is the third one I have left to review.

I've been using it for close to two months now and I can say that I do like it but it's my least-favourite of the three products I've tried recently from Jurlique, and the one that's done the least for me.

Still, it's good and I do think it's a nice serum, it's just that it's a plain serum and it hasn't done anything magical for my skin. More on that below.

Jurlique claims/product details:

In the results of a clinical study of 54 women who used this serum for 56 days: 87% of women saw a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and pores; 88% of women agree that skin feels firmer; clinically proven to improve skin luminosity and help even skintone

Verdict

I was so pleased to receive this for testing and review, I can't tell you. I love a good serum and Jurlique is a reputable brand, so I couldn't wait to try it.

It's a lightweight serum that pumps out like a cloudy gel in texture but then spreads almost like water on the skin, so a little goes a long way with this and you don't need much. 

It has a faint herbal scent and it absorbs nicely into the skin, although it does leave a tacky finish behind that won't be for everyone. Do note that the tacky finish is probably partly why my skin looks a bit brighter and more radiant after use.

I've been testing this product for almost two months now, and while my dry skin has really enjoyed it, I haven't seen any changes in my face that I've seen with my favourite serums. That is, my fine lines and wrinkles look the same, and I haven't noticed any changes to things like age spots etc.

On the claims: yes I do think this has a slight firming effect (temporarily after application); no I don't think it has restored or revitalised my skin; no I don't think it has targeted my signs of ageing; yes I do think it absorbs easily but I don't think it maintains hydration or prevents moisture loss; and yes I do think it brightens the skin a little and reduces the appearance of dullness.

Overall I think this is a nice serum and I've enjoyed testing it, but it hasn't done anything amazing for my face so I personally wouldn't spend the money on it. Still, it feels nice on the skin, it absorbs well and I don't need to use too much per application so the bottle should last a long time, which means it's a reasonable investment.

Nice to use but the effects aren't there for me.
