Blithe Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga:
“A hybrid serum and moisturizer combined in a 'pressed serum' format that is packed with 60% Chaga Mushroom extract harvested from the pristine tundras."
Product presentation:
Blithe’s Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga is a hybrid product that can be used in many ways.
It’s a pressed serum, which means you can use it instead of your serum and moisturizer. Very practical if you don’t have much time, or if you don’t want to use too many products, but you still want to take care of your skin! For this last reason, I like to take it with me when I’m in the hospital and besides, its texture is perfect because it doesn’t smear everywhere.
It can also be used instead of your serum, for a very nourishing effect (it has a thicker texture than a classic serum).
And finally, it can simply replace your moisturizer (day or night)! That’s the way I prefer to use it. Its texture is ideal as a night cream for my very dehydrated/dry/sensitive skin: the product literally melts on my skin but without leaving an oily residue. I usually apply Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga over my current face oil or balm, and I have a perfectly nourished and hydrated skin!
Regarding its target, the Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga can be suitable for all skin types. It’s particularly great for damaged skins because its primary function is to repair, thanks to the Chaga mushroom, which represents 60% of the product and is naturally an anti-inflammatory.
The Chaga mushroom is a well-known and very appreciated ingredient in Asia where it’s widely used in oriental medicine, particularly in the form of tea for its powerful antioxidant properties.
The Blithe Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga also contains fermented olive and argan oils, which are very nourishing and repairing.
This product also has an anti-aging benefit, thanks to its ingredients rich in antioxidants (still the famous Chaga mushroom, but also the adenosine, which has anti-wrinkle properties).
In short, a complete treatment and a versatile product!
My Thoughts:
I absolutely adore the Blithe Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga!
I particularly appreciate this product which gives me a deep hydration but without being oily!
The texture is an absolute joy, I even think it’s what I prefer in this product. Saying this is extremely pleasant to use is an understatement.
This creamy gel has a rather weird color (it’s caramel brown)! When you apply it, its texture changes completely: it literally melts into the skin, I love this feeling! I can definitely feel how rich it is but it’s not greasy at all.
I like it very much used as a night cream because it leaves a slight film on the surface of the skin. I tried using it during the day and I like it as well. It doesn’t make me look shiny and it really retains the moisture in my skin throughout the day.
Results:
My skin feels bouncy and well hydrated with the Blithe’s Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga. It has an undeniable plumping effect and as a small bonus, I don’t wake up with an oily looking skin in the morning like with other night creams I tried in the past.
For the anti-aging result, clearly, this product falls into the category of products where the results are visible in the very long run. Its action is rather preventive (which it’s totally OK with me).
In summary:
To sum it up, Blithe’s Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga is a real great discovery which had became an instant favorite. I adore it, especially used as a night moisturizer. I already bought it several times and I intend to continue using it in the future!
Pros:
- the very pleasant melting texture, which transforms on the skin when applied
- the deep hydrating effect without being greasy and heavy
- the high concentration of active ingredients (60% of the product is Chaga mushroom extract)
- the presence of fermented ingredients for a better absorption into the skin
- the minimalist and simple packaging
- you don't need a lot (even if I admit that I tend to be very generous in my application purely because I love this texture so I clearly apply too much)
- you can use it as a serum, instead of your moisturizer, or even as a 2-in-1 serum + cream product. It's a true hybrid product.
Packaging:
A rather heavy plastic jar, which feels high-end, very minimalist and simple.
Fragrance:
A slightly fresh and pleasant scent.
Texture:
A delicious custard-like texture, creamy and slightly gel-like. Applied onto the skin, it literally just melts into it.
For:
All skin types, including mature and sensitive skin. It’s an ideal product for dehydrated skin.
Concerns:
– dehydrated skins
– combination skin (especially if you don’t like heavy textures)
– dry skins
– mature skin
– wrinkles, fine lines
– skin discomfort
Method I Used:
I use the Blithe Pressed Serum Tundra Chaga in the evening instead of my night cream. I apply it at the end of my skincare routine. I use the spatula (I don’t like to put my fingers directly into products, I’m a bit OCD about hygiene).
No need to use a lot, the size of a pea is enough (even if I tend to use more because I love this texture, but it’s definitely not necessary!).
I massage it for a few seconds and let it absorb on my skin. It’s a little sticky at first, but my skin absorbs it after a few minutes!
Key Ingredients:
A very high concentration of active natural ingredients such as for example:
– 60% of CHAGA MUSHROOM EXTRACT:
Widely used in Asia and Russia, this mushroom grows on trees in cold, arid climates (especially in the Siberian tundra). It’s a very repairing ingredient and it’s packed with antioxidants. It contains a lot of polysaccharides, which have the property of binding to immune cell receptors, which increase the skin’s resistance to bacterial infections while protecting it from daily environmental stress. This extract has been cold extracted to preserve the optimal nutrients of the Chaga mushroom.
– FERMENTED OLIVE AND ARGAN OILS:
They nourish and prevent skin dehydration durably while protecting it from climatic aggressions and pollution. They also help to minimize the visible signs of aging.
