Here is the next installment for the Oily Skin kit from sephora. I would consider this gel more of a serum than a moisturizer because it is very lightweight. I needed to use another moisturizer after using this and my choice of weapon was Ole Henriksen's Sheer Transformation which I wish I had in full size for a proper review, but that will come in time. One thing that I did not like was that it took a coupole of minutes to soak into my skin. What really intrigued me about this gel was the claim that it helps give you a brighter complexion. As you may know I suffer from blemish prone skin, which leaves behind nasty blemish scars. I am always on the hunt for stuff to help. The cell turnover claim in products always draw me in because I have faith in that kind of "science". When I first started using the gel my skin was a little sensitive to it. It didn't burn but the sensation was definitely noticeable. It went away after about a week in of using it. I suspect maybe it was the AHA, but it did not stop me from trying it out again. This thing smells amazing, it smells like a fruit basket and it is very delicious. I love that this gel helps treat blemishes and helps deal with their aftermath. Most serums for uneven skin tone are just for that, but this baby is good at multi-tasking. It took me about a month of usage to notice any difference, but it was a significant difference. I did notice that the color of the scars began to fade.
As far as the anti-aging claim, I wouldn't notice it because I don't have wrinkles right now. I did feel my skin get firmer as time went on with using it though. The container that I had lasted me a good year, so I can imagine that the full size one will last you quite a long time because a little really does go a long way. I do plan on getting this in the future I just am having a really hard time comitting to a skincare line because once your skin gets used to something, the halo effect fades away.
Thanks to Ole Henriksen, I have found my HG products for when my skin is acting up. I most definitely recommend this to anyone struggling on finding a serum that will treat your skin without harshness. I am so in love with the gel moisturizer because I have never tried anything else like it. Once again, it definitely is worth every penny as an investment to great skin. That is it for this review, I hope you guys enjoy this product as much as I do. =)
