I enjoyed using this serum, it was easy to apply and my skin absorbed the ingredients easily giving me a hydrated smoother skin appearance over a period of time of use. A single pump is enough to cover my face, neck and hands easily. The consistency of the serum is light and milky with a very subtle clean natural scent that does not linger. I found my skin responded well to this product as I applied it in the morning allowing time to sink in then applied my usual face cream and sunblock. This serum has helped smooth out and brighten the appearance of my skin texture.

Just love this product. It ticks all the boxes for me as it is Australian made, fragrance free, no alcohol, no parabens, sulphates or mineral oil. This product is an excellent addition to your skin care regime. Packed with high vitamin concentration it really helps address the signs of ageing. Applied in the morning and evening, I use one drop on each side of my face and forehead along with a drop for my neck. A little goes a long way making this value for money. My skin feels amazing and youthful and I will continue to use this amazing product. Highly recommend.

This product is amazing, l love how smooth my skin feels after using it for only two weeks. This is really a very nice product, it has helped my skin feel more hydrated when this cream is applied regularly in my night time routine. The ingredients of this cream have been created to help reduce fine lines which seem to be affective on my skin. A little goes a long way, this cream is rich and creamy but not heavy and sticky. It does it leave your skin with a greasy feeling. A definite recommendation for anyone with ageing skin concerns.

I was so exciting to be part of the trail team for QV face hydrate and renew serum. Upon arrival of this superb product I applied it to my cleansed face to feel immediate results. I really like the simple packaging of this product coming in QV’s signature blue and white trade make box. The pump bottle holds 25g of product, some more product would be beneficial as I have already used most of it on my face in a short amount of time. My skin responded well to the ingredients in this serum, helping my face feel calm and hydrated upon every application, one pump morning and night. I have noticed my skin feels a lot smoother and refined along with improved skin elasticity which I am happy with since my skin texture can be a bit uneven for a 53 year old. The fragrance free, non comedogenic formula is very light and easily absorbed leaving no trace of shine or sticking feeling on my sensitive facial skin. Packed with Niacinamide and Avemide 15 which is a purified natural extract, helped to calm and sooth my skin, helping it feel more plumper and firmer. This product worked really well with my other skin treatment products and worked well under sunblock as it simply disappeared into my skin with out leaving a trace, such a pleasure to use and I will be incorporating it into my skin care routine. I also love the fact that QV products are made in Australia, so this product ticks all the boxes for me.

I just love this product. As soon as I received it in the mail I was straight onto it, applying it to my poor tired dry eyes. Prevage delivered instantly refreshing my delicate under eye area in a flash with the handy cooling applicator giving my eyes a nice cooling, soothing effect. This anti-ageing serum is packed with so many super charged antioxidant ingredients assisting my eyes in such a powerful way to look and feel so much better than before. I have noticed a vast improvement in dark circles being reduced, brighter looking skin under my eyes and a softening of wrinkles around the eye area. This product should last for as decent amount of time since you only need to use a small amount. Allowing this product to be great value for money since the squeeze tube size is a generous 20ml designed with an amazing cooling applicator which helps to distribute the serum nicely and effectively. It feels super soothing and refreshing, de-puffing my morning eyes giving me a firmer, even youthful glow. I have noticed visible results in a short amount of time using this product and would highly recommend. My eyes feel awake and refreshed.

I was very excited to be part of the team trail for this fabulous skin brightening, spot correcting product. There are 60 capsules, 28ml in total volume which come in an easy to use slim tube shaped solid plastic container. It is recommended to keep this product away from moisture and store it in a cool dark place to prevent deterioration. This is the first time I have ever used a product in capsule form, it was very exciting. I applied my first capsule in the evening after my usual night time skin care cleansing routine. I twisted the capsule twice to snap off the tip then squeezed the golden serum out onto my finger tip. A perfect amount came out, then I applied the product on my face and neck. I also apply a night cream as well to help lock in the goodness of this product. This serum feels like velvet on my skin, like something so beautiful, giving me a feeling of instant nourishment and smoothness. Here are some of the potent brighteners which include vitamin C to help fade discoloured skin and also firm the skin. Bisabolol helps to brighten and soothe the skin. Landsat Tree Leaf targets any dark spots, ginger root evens out the skin tone and hops help promote overall skin health. After using this product for more than two weeks I can really see and feel the difference in my overall skin tone and texture, my skin feels firmer and youthful. My enlarged pores have minimised and smoothed over giving me a crystal-clear glow every morning when I wake up. My skin looks rested, plump, smooth and restored. I have mature aged 50+ skin with some sun spots and have had successful results with this product as the sun spots are becoming less visible and beginning to fade the more I use these night capsules. I love this product not only for the effect on my skin but also because the capsules are biodegradable and don't have any added fragrance. I will continue to incorporate this gorgeous serum into my evening routine as my skin has improved greatly.

I was fortunate enough to receive Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Day Cream and to be part of the trial for this stunning product. Upon opening the elegant gold themed packaging I could instantly feel that this product has been designed with quality in mind. The cream itself is stored in a solid double walled 50ml frosted glass jar with an easy twist of the wrist gold plastic removable, re-placable lid with a plastic removable seal divider to help protect the product inside. The contents consists of a slightly pink hue coloured silk smooth gel cream which when applied glides on so smoothly and effortlessly, a small amount of product goes a really long way. Affording the product to last for some time making it worth investing in. After washing my face in the morning and toning with my usual morning routine I applied Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Day Cream to my skin with upward, outward strokes spreading the cream all over my face, neck, chest and the back of my hands. This product has a glossy, silky light texture, the formulation is thick and spreads and absorbs instantly leaving my mature aged, slightly open pored, crapy, fine lined skin feeling nourished and hydrated with some evidence of slight shine. The results felt instant giving me a smoothness and firmness I have never experienced before with other skin care products, giving my face a nice seamless appearance as if i was wearing a light foundation. The list of ingredients is rather extensive and worth taking a look at. There is a very strong floral fragrance to this product which I feel is a little too over powering for my skin as I do prefer fragrance free skin care products but I do enjoy the feeling of this cream on my skin as it contains a host of Ceramides, plant extracts, fatty acids and hyaluronic acid which help to hydrate the skin and seem to make a visible difference to the appearance of my skin tone. I have been using this cream for more than two weeks and have noticed smoother, firmer, softer looking and feeling skin. My complexion appears more youthful and firm. I will continue to use this product in my routine this winter. It is a nice match to use with the Lift and Firm Night Cream to reveal excellent results.

I was delighted to receive L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Serum as part of a trial team. Upon opening I was impressed with the elegant bottle design and the details. The box it came in was no match to the beautiful bottle. This product feels luxurious and lightweight upon application to the face, very silky and smooth helping my skin to feel hydrated without a greasy feeling. My skin drank up the silky serum especially hydrating after a long hot summer. I liked using this product at night and waking up to smooth fresh textured plumper looking skin in the morning. Although the serum has an overwhelming floral scent which I found to linger longer than expected I managed to tolerate the scent over time with much use but would prefer scent free if it was to become available. The dropper was a little annoying at times as I could not extract the exact amount of serum as directed. The formula has a creamy syrup consistency and is peach in colour. I felt this product helped my skin feel more youthful and the appearance of fine lines seemed to become smoother and subtle over time. I am inclined to consider further use of this product in my beauty regimen as it seemed to work well with my other skin care products on my skin not causing any reactions or sensitivity.

Made with French Avène Thermal Spring Water this skin recovery face cream was a real treat for my sensitive mature aged skin. Extremely gentle, nourishing and made from minimal ingredients my skin drank up the goodness immediately. I have combination mature sensivie easily irritated skin and my skin seemed to love this fuss free cream. This cream does not break me out and I am easily prone to break outs. This product does not cause allergic reactions, it is sentless with no preservatives and applies very well. I really enjoyed using this cream as it very moisturising and does not leave any oiliness on the skin. It soaks in well, it works as a great daily moisturiser applying well under makeup and at night. This product is also a perfect travel sized compact reliable face cream. A little goes a long way, I applied this cream on my face and neck avoiding the eye area morning and night after using the Avène extremely gentle face cleansing lotion. The simple elegant recyclable packaging reveals a 50 ml tube of exclusive protective sterilised non-comedogenic formula in a squeezable stand up style easy to use tube. My skin looks and feels hydrated, soothed and calm after using this cream morning and night.
