Kosmea Eighth Natural Wonder Revitalising Facial Serum

Me again with another little review for your pleasure.

KOSMEA Eighth Natural Wonder Revitalising Facial Serum

This is another one of the products I have been sent by My Pure as part of their bloggers panel as mentioned in my blog here

The Company - as mentioned on My Pure website reads:

Kosmea took Australia by storm in 1993 when they launched the first 100% pure certified organic rosehip oil. Since then Kosmea have gone from strength to strength with a complete range of skin care based around organic rosehip oil. 

Kosmea is different to most other skin care brands in that they mostly do not make products for particular skin types. Instead by layering different products you get a perfect result for every skin type. Another benefit of this layering approach means you can customise your skin care needs on a daily basis and there's no need to switch creams as the seasons change. Just choose the cleanser for your skin type then use the product layering approach for your own skin's requirement. 

Kosmea was one of the first natural skin care brands to use patented anti-wrinkle technology in their Eighth Natural Wonder Revitalising Facial Serum. This serum features in all Kosmea skin care regimes. We trialled it and we're hooked! 

The Product? - as mentioned on My Pure Website reads:

Eighth Natural Wonder Revitalising Facial Serum instantly ‘lifts’ dull and tired skin. This product contains Myoxinol®, a complex of oligopeptides obtained from the seeds of hibiscus esculentus. Myoxinol® is proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is a patented natural anti-ageing active. 

Worn everyday under Kosmea Replenishing Moisture Cream this anti-ageing serum feeds skin with all of the essential antioxidants and vitamins it needs to keep it in optimum health. 

Use this serum to supplement your daily skin care regime, much like a multi-vitamin pill supplements your diet, by giving skin the extra goodness that it needs. 

My Review

I will be honest, I was unsure about thes product as I am only 25 and am not quite looking for an anti aging product as yet....however I thought I would give this product a shot.

This product comes in a box with a matching label to that is on the bottle. The bottle is neat and would fit into my daily make up bag without taking up to much space. The bottle had a pump which you press down to get the product, this unfortunatley was bad designing, I found that with a little press of the pump I got a large squirt of the product in my hand which was far too much than I would like to apply to my face and found myself wasting some of the product as had to wipe it off with a tissue and put in the bin. 

The scent of this product is quite 'earthy' is the only way I can think to describe it, it is a little too overpowering and strong a scent for a product I would apply to my face as I find I then get the smell caught in my nose for a while until I go sniff something else more pleasant. 

I applied this in the morning the first day I tried it, the serum felt slimey as I applied it to my face which made me wonder if I had applied a little too much as the product appeared to be just sliding about my face as I tried to rub it in and needed to blog my face a little to get rid of excess product. After application and the serum had sunk in to my skin it felt smoother and after a few days I noticed my skin had a slight glow. As I have previously mentioned I would like to test this product a little longer and see if I notice the results more. 

PROS: 

* smooth skin *

* slight glow *

* only need a small amount and would last a long time*

CONS:

*at £25 for 20mls its a little steep for me*

*packaging is not very eye-catching and little cheap looking*

*too much product comes out the pump at once*

*left hands feeling sticky after application to face*

*smell*

I have to admit I do not use serums and unable to compare to other products as I am happy with my cleanser and toner although it has left my skin feeling silky smooth and I am interested in continuing using it. I would rate this product as 7/10, This may be unfair due to the fact I only received my package from my pure the other day therefore i have not had many days to test out the product and see the full results but I will keep using the product and update after a week or so.
