I purchased this exquisite serum not so long ago (August). I was on a lookout for a different skincare line as I was using Estee Lauder and my skin felt terrible and the products just didn’t seem to have an effect anymore.
This serum is a fairly new product on the market (version 2 based on Chanel hydramax + active serum). This product was promoted to be suitable for all skin types. It has a gorgeous fragrance to it as well – not too overpowering.
What are serums anyway? And why bother paying so much for them (they often cost more than other skincare products)?. Serums are concentrated so that the active ingredients can penetrate deeper into the skin. Moisturizers only work on the epidermal level whereas some serums can penetrate deeper into the dermis to reverse/slow down signs of aging and increase collagen production. So in fact, a moisturizer may take ages and ages to produce some results whereas serums maybe able to do it in a shorter amount of time.
I needn’t go in depth about the ingredients in this serum, but in a nutshell it will maximize moisture and enhance hydration of the skin which will ultimately reduce the signs of aging skin. Undoubtedly handy for those of us who are in our early-mid 20s slowly realising we are not so young anymore and don’t want wrinkles. Not so much for those who already have them… (unless you have dry skin in which it will do magic!)
Price Factor: 2/5
Value for money, not so good. I went through my 30mL bottle in less than 3 months (mind you I used it twice a day (day and night)). But even so, I believe that is quite expensive. For the 30mL I purchased it for $127 at a Life Pharmacy. It is truly a beautiful product, but I wouldn’t recommend everyone to go out and get it just because of the price.
Another con is that it is in a pump bottle so you can’t access the last blobs of the serum which is a pain (especially when the product is so expensive).
