My first to time to write a review for a beauty product.
Their
claim:
“As

Youth Serum, enriched with 99% real gold microparticles, AHA, Retinol
& Vitamin B3, to even out skin tone, reduce age spots and boost
your skin’s youthful radiance.
Special
Ingredient – Gold (A
natural mineral that boosts cell renewal and gives your skin an
instant glow.)”

How
I used it:
I
finished the product for 3 months and a half (mid June to November
4), using it only on my face every morning. I skipped applying serum
on my neck as moisturizers and creams, which were less expensive,
will do. I applied it after toning and 5 minutes before I used my
day cream. After I even out the products on my face, I place my
palm, especially on parts where wrinkles usually appear, to warm the
product. I usually did this for about 5 to 10 seconds. I did this
mostly on parts where wrinkles usually appear.
Effect
on me:
Since
I previously used the Gold Radiance set of Ponds with the exception
of serum, I, somehow, notice the difference. Including it in my
morning routine, my face became more supple. Although the product
didn't claim that it reduces wrinkles, I noticed that it, somehow,
slowed down its progress. It also helped reduced the age spot,
located on my left cheek, faster. My pores appeared to be at its
smallest, better that using the set without it. Since I am very
particular with pores, because I have large pores, I absolutely loved
how it made them appear smaller.
I
also tried using it alone without the day cream. Although my face
didn't have that much glow effect compared to using it with the day
cream, it still left my skin hydrated all throughout the day.
Packaging:
It
comes in a trasparent bottle with dropper. It really looks
expensive. The gold particles is really visible. I love how it
looks but it needs to be turned upside down if the dropper could no
longer reach the serum. When in a hurry and the bottle is almost
empty, dubbing is the surest but messy way to get a little amount.
Travel wise, it is spill-safe.
Price:
One
bottle cost Php 800.00. It's cheaper compared to other serums I see
on the net. For me, its already expensive. Although it doesn't show
dramatic effect, the price tag is just right for a three month use.
