Hello lovelies, I hope you are all keeping well. Welcome to my first blog post! Today’s review is about a serum that I have been LOVING, and is definitely a keeper in my skincare routine from now on.

10% Niacinamide + 1% zinc – Blemish & Pore Refining Serum – £6

Packaging:

As a rose gold lover, I adore this packaging! I think it’s aesthetically-pleasing and fun to use due to the pipette applicator, which allows you to squeeze out the perfect amount of product needed.

It is a robust product – and as a proud cat owner, I can advise that this product is cat-proof from being knocked off my dresser as they effort to find the comfiest spot to watch me get ready in the mornings… aww!

Consistency/application:

The serum formula is clear and applies on the face beautifully. The serum is also smell-less, which for my skin type (combination in the summer and more dry in the winter), is amazing because I find strong perfumed scents, can irritate my skin.

Appearance on skin:

I love this product and it is my second bottle because I adore the radiant glow it leaves on my skin. I apply a pea-size amount, day and night, as that is recommended to view the best results. I prefer to press the serum onto my skin as I believe it allows the product to work better into the skin and accentuate the dewy skin look. I could use this product alone, without having to apply moisturiser on top, but as we are coming into the winter months now, I prefer to add my moisturiser on top, around five minutes after the serum, so it has time to properly soak in.

I would also comment that this serum definitely helps to battle and reduce the progression of any blemishes. After applying onto any breakouts, I find that the targeted spot has reduced in size and redness, allowing me to feel more confident when not wearing makeup – especially when my cycle is about to begin!

I will be purchasing this product again, as my bottle is nearly out and I cannot recommend it enough to my blemish-prone friends out there!

Pro’s:

• Affordable skincare product, that makes you feel like you have a boujee routine!
• Adorable packaging
• Notice results fast

Con’s:

• I was trying to rack my brain for a con, just to provide a fair and true review, but I could not suggest one for this product – it is a holy grail for me now!

Thank you so much for spending this time with me, and reading this blog post!
