Again the retinol factor didn’t really garner any results for me, but it was a lovely serum to apply (again, has a strange smell) and it lasted a few months as I only used it every few days. Boots do a squalane one which I feel it's a bit less moisturising than the Ordinary one, it is pretty similar though.

Although we cannot stop aging, there are ingredients that have been shown to slow the process: retinoids, antioxidants, and some peptides. The difference between "normal" Glyceryl Stearate and this guy is that the SE grade contains a small amount of water-loving soap molecules, such as sodium stearate.For me the consistency is just right (quite thick and silky, with almost a gel like texture), it smells lovely and it makes my skin feel really nourished and glowy. I’ve managed to work my way through a fair few items that I’ve popped on my wish list since last year and have a good feel of the products now. If I was being lazy or just tired I could easily get away with just doing a single cleanse, knowing that my face is makeup-free, but normally I will go in with another cleanser afterwards. It glides on really well and it’s a great one to pop in your bag if you want to freshen up you eyes a bit.

After much deliberation, I finally took the plunge and joined up to become a member of Beauty Pie last year. The texture of the moisturiser is lovely and similar to the Japanfusion Elixir and it sinks into the skin really well. I had been keen to try them for the pores on my nose and the fact that it’s good for treating breakouts and for evening your skin tone. I had high hopes for the Superdrops Flash Facelift, but after using an entire bottle, I didn’t see any noticeable change at all.I didn’t see any amazing effects though sadly and sometimes it made my skin tingle a bit after application – and I don’t have sensitive skin. The fact that each of the steps used alone (the lotion is step one, serum is two, cream is step three) gives noticeable results means that I could have really focussed this post on any one of them. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. g if I’ve put makeup on in the evening and it’s being removed after a few hours) and does an okay job on base makeup that’s been worn all day.

It contains fission-Y to strengthen the skin barrier (the key to great skin), jabara fruit to deliver vitamin C antioxidant protection and brighten, as well as a special humectant that acts in a very similar, skin-plumping way to hyaluronic acid. If you pour it onto a cotton pad, most is absorbed by the pad and if you pour some into your hand, it’s difficult to get it successfully on your face. It’s also really helped me with my breakouts, mainly because it’s so thorough at removing all of my makeup. I have been told that this can happen with retinol and that you should reintroduce it more sparingly, but I wasn’t willing to let that happen again, so this cream gets a big thumbs down from me. While there's no question that this face mist is full of great, skin-loving ingredients (including antioxidants) to moisturise, brighten and soften, it is also just really enjoyable to use—meaning you'll find yourself actually looking forward to your skincare routine.The cleanser itself comes in a handy to use tube, easily identifiable with Beauty Pie’s classic packaging style. Caroline Hiron’s loves it, the Full Coverage Pod Love it and that was enough to make me think it would be something I had to try.
