Original price: £50
Discount price £30 from feelunique.com
Made in the USA, Miami
Been using for the past two weeks in my PM skin regimen. It is too early for me to say anything about its long term benefits, but so far I would still consider other
Pros:
- product is very soothing although is gently tingles when applied at first. I enjoy the tingling in general (as long as it doesnt cause any skin redness)
- It is quickly absorbed into my damp skin within approx 10 mins. I appreciate that.
- Nourishing: it contains water, ascorbic acid, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, Green Tree leaf extract, licorice root extract, pomegranate, ferulic acid, centella asiatica, blueberry extract. Def a great buffet and cocktail.
- Clean ingredients, no parabens, no phthalates, no sulfates, no synthetic fragrances, no gluten, not tested on animals
Cons based on first impressions:
-product stains
- product pills if layered with other products. So apply 2-3 drops only and wait for it to dry out completely before applying the next product
- It makes my skin look dull so I prefer to use it in the night only
General observation
-It contains medium hazardous alcohol but that doesnt bother me because i want my antioxidants to last and be preserved for as long as possible. The hyaluronic acid + glycerin helps to prevent any possible dryness that might potentially been caused by the alcohol which I havent noticed
Comparison to other products:
- I have tried The Ordinary Vitamin C ethylated ascorbic acid 15% and 8% ascorbic acid + 2% alpha arbutin. So far I enjoy both. The vitamin C from the Ordinary are affordable and do not pill. Obviously Vitamin C on its own is well known for its skin benefits, and in terms of strength I would go for The Ordinary Ascorbic Acids 8% - 15% depending on the weather.
Yet awaiting to try out the e.l.f Beauty Shield Vitamin C Pollution Prevention Serum 28 ML (£15 www.feelunique.com) as well as Lumene Nordic C Glow Boost Essence 30 ML (£24)
Results
Overall its def worth trying out. I would have appreciated to know the exact percentage of the vitamin C. I prefer to use a minimum strength of 10-15%. If it contains that strength it is worth the price.
I have definitely noticed a happier, brighter and more even skin when waking up in the morning fairly quick.

So would I buy it again? Not immediately. But I would not say no to coming back to it in future because it contains many beneficial ingredients all in one and saves you the hassle to layer one-ingredient based products over products that may or may not synergize and absorb.
