If you have been a reader of MLL for a while, you will know I have a bit of a skincare addiction-amongst a huge makeup addiction as well. I am a lover of all things skincare, especially masks and serums. Something about just slathering my face with a serum to help improve something just makes my skin go –ahhhh! I am always on the quest for evening out my skin tone, especially since I used to have a huge picking problem- this of course leads to dark spots, scars, and a slightly uneven skin tone. Enter- Valentia Even Glow Serum*, housed in a brown tinted bottle this citrus scented serum popped through my mail drop and I have been using it daily. Here are my thoughts on its amazingness…
First things first, let’s talk about the ingredients. The Valentia Even Glow Serum* contains some skin loving staples- rosehip seed oil, vitamin C, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Vitamin E, botanical hyaluronic acid and strategic skin super oils, and of course smells like amazingness on your face making this combination of ingredients are a match made in heaven.
ROSEHIP SEED OIL: Helps with cellular regeneration to improve skins brightness. Rosehip Seed Oil contains Vitamin A which is a natural retinoid that helps with deeply damaged skin.
VITAMIN C: Helps with aging, wrinkles, pigmentation and the production of collagen to maintain skin elasticity. This allows the skin to gain strength and durability all while helping even out the skin ton and texture.
SEA BUCKTHORN OIL: Assists with erasing fine lines, sun spots and skin imperfections. Sea Buckthorn Oil helps erase old acne scars and creating a healthy glow.
RESISTEM: Resistem helps regenerate the skins tissue. It also helps diminish dark circles, redness and ski detoxification while preserving skin stem cells to help get a fresh look.
HYALURONIC ACID: Hyaluronic Acid is simply amazing. It helps the skin retain water by more than up to 1,000 times; it also helps protect the skin with a breathable barrier to ward environmental aging. Hyaluronic Acid also acts are a natural anti-inflammatory to help with tissue repair and promote elasticity.
According to Valentia, the results to expect with the Valentina Even Glow Serum are:
- Even Skin Tone
- Vanquish dark spots and skin discolorations
- Increase glow and radiance
- Product Absorbs rapidly
- Boost in collagen production
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Here are the results I have encountered with this orange juice scented serum:
- More even skin tone
- Decrease in dark spots
- No random breakouts or skin irritations
- Increase in glow and my skin is seriously more radiant
- Product absorbs really quick and the consistency is quite nice
I apply this currently at night either by itself, or followed it with a night cream letting it sink into the skin to work its wonderful magic overnight. Waking up in the morning I have been finding hydrated, luminous, radiant and ultra-soft skin that appears brighter and more alive. Ummmm….. talk about obsessed! This serum has helped my skin the most on days when it is spotty, lacking radiance and in need of some oomph. I use the dropper and apply 3 drops to my fingertips and press into the skin after cleansing. It’s a thin yet thick (if that makes sense) consistency at first it feels a bit tacky on the skin, but it absorbs quickly and sinks into the skin well- almost like your skin is drinking it while breathing a fresh breath of ahhhh. I personally suggest using this at night since it does contain 20% Vitamin C, however you can use it day or night. Keep in mind with anything that contains Vitamin C- make sure you use a SPF, since skin can be a bit more sun sensitive- and burns are no fun!
All in all, I am happy to incorporate this wonderful serum into my ever growing skincare routine. I am loving the way my skin drinks it up and truly enjoy waking up daily with a radiant glow. I can honestly say this orange juice scented gem is making its way as a Vitamin C staple in my stash…
