As I have recently turned 25 I may have got sucked into Origins #QuarterCenturyCrsis campaign a little to easily, but if something claims to keep my skin looking youthful it is hard to pass by. I have been having a little trouble with my skin recently and I thought now is as good a time as ever to add that little extra step of serum into my skin care routine. It has been a long time coming as I have been looking into adding a serum to my skincare routine for a while but I wanted to choose the right one for my skin.
This serum can be used in the morning and in the evening before applying moisturiser. It focuses on de-stressing skin, smoothing roughness, removing dullness, shrinking pores and minimising flaws and imperfections. I was defiantly attracted to this product as it is aimed at the twenty something age range targeting common issues that are brought to light in your twenties, such as enlarged pores and dullness. My current skincare routine doesn't seem to be enough anymore as my skin is changing but anti-aging products can be too harsh.
I am really glad that I have added this extra step of serum into my skincare routine, although I haven't noticed a massive improvement in all areas that the product aims to target, it has definitely left my skin looking brighter, looking refreshed and has left my skin feeling smooth. I would recommend investing in this product, like all Origins products it smells amazing very fresh and zesty and a perfect accompaniment to an early morning skin routine. The serum is a light gel consistency and soaks into the skin immediately leaving feeling smooth and perfectly prepping skin for make-up.
Pros
- Smells amazing - fresh and zesty
- Light gel consistency
- Soaks into the skin immediately
- Brightens skin
- Leaves skin refreshed and smooth
- Creates a great base for make-up application
Cons
- Quite pricey (£32 - 30ml)
- Opaque bottle - difficult to know when you are going to run out
I'd love to explore more serums to add to my skincare routine, what are your favorites?
