Hi guys. From this week on I will be starting a series of sample reviews because one: I have a lot of samples to finish off and two: would be really nice to share with you how I think of them especially when some products are pricy. So I hope you like the idea and let's get started with my very first sample review.
First up is the Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate by Kiehl's. This serum is a total bomb! I would purchase the full size Ohh definitely! I use this at night after my Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate and before Josie Maran Argan Oil. When I wake up in the morning my skin is glowing, eventoned and I just look younger. I mean I'm not old but my skin just looks so healthy and youthful you know what I mean?!
The texture is lovely too. It feels very smooth and kind of siliconey. When I rub this serum on my face it becomes hot which is very interesting as I have never experienced anything like this before. I supposed the hotness means it's working.
It has pure Vitamin C and Ascorbic Acid which are great for brightening the complexion. I don't know about the "line reduction" part because I haven't had any yet (touch wood) but I do notice my skin is bright, even, smooth and youthful. I think it would definitely work for someone who has fine lines but don't think it would function as well on someone who has deep wrinkles.
This little tube (5ml) lasted me almost 2 weeks so a little goes a long way. The full size contains 50ml and costs €55 here in Italy. It's by no means cheap but I think it's worth it. I would use this only at night because it feels kind of greasy in a way but if you have dry skin then using it in the morning shouldn't be a problem.
Next up is another serum that I have been trying lately and loving. It's the Anti-Aging Corrective Concentrate by La Roche-Posay. Again another lovely serum and I can feel it's working for my skin. You might think that I use a lot of Anti-Aging products but you know girl I'm 31, not getting any younger. It's better to prevent than fixing it later right?! In fact women should start using anti aging products after age 25. We only have one face, one life so let's start taking care of it! I mean I started using eye ream when I was 17. Probably not necessary you think but I don't have any fine lines nor crow feet around my eyes so I think it has something to do with using eye creams early age. Oops sorry I went a little off-topic there. As I was saying this serum has a lovely texture, kind of gel like, easy to absorb and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The full size costs around €38 and you get 30ml of product.
The only thing I have with this serum is the smell. I mean it's not bad but it kinda smells good at first then it turns into a bad smell after rubbing it in. It's hard to explain it. I mean maybe it's just me. Nothing major but something to consider if scent is important to you.
If I have to choose between these 2 then I would go for the Kiehl's one just because it has no scent and I feel like it works better on my skin. I can see the result better. But that being said the serum by La Roche-Posay is pretty good as well.
That's it guys. Next week I will be doing another of my sample review so stay tuned for that. I hope this review is somewhat helpful. They are not cheap so it would be nice to know how they are before purchasing and that's the main reason why I want to start this sample review series. Please let me know how you think of it and as always follow me on twitter and Instagram @eflicciardello for daily photo updates.
