🤍 A new HG serum to add to my routine 🤍
@biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum
🦋 Texture: Light blue in colour, mid weight Serum, spreads well & doesn't take too long to sink in.
🦋 Fragrance: None added & none detected.
🦋 Main Ingredients & Claims:
● Squalane: provides ample hydration
● Mix of peptides: firming & promotes collagen production
● Ectoin: ** I think this is going to be the next BIG spotlight ingredient ** it's believed to be a multi-tasking amino acid from bacteria, providing hydration, slows down the degradation of enzymes in the skin, helps to repair skin damage & protect from external aggressors.
● Copper PCA: mild exfoliation & gives a beautiful natural blue pigment
● Panthenol: anti-inflammatory & hydration
● Green Tea Leaf Extract: antioxidant & balances sebum production.
● Turmeric: anti-inflammatory, antioxidants & brightening effects.
🦋 What I love about it:
● It's worth splurging on, it's pricey but a little goes a long way. I only need 3 small drops at night to experience plumped & hydrated skin the next day
● It makes my smile lines less prominent
● Adds moisture without tackiness, EOs & fragrance free. Safe on my hormonal chin
● Suitable for all skin types including sensitive unless your skin reacts to Copper PCA
● Derived from sugar canes & so the sharks are safe from squalane extraction 🥺
🦋 What I don't like about it:
● A glass bottle would be nice + a refillable option too.
● Not a bad thing but just something I've noticed. It's hydrating in the sense of plumped skin without tightness. But it doesn't give you that "moist" feeling that dry skin types love , especially in the colder months.
Maybe I'm not using enough of it but pairing this with another hydrating serum will do the trick!
🤍 Overall, I love the ingredients list & how easy it is to use along with my other products. Will continue to use to see firming benefits from the peptides 🥰
