If you’re looking to supercharge
your skincare regime during the winter months, or indeed all year long then the
first place to start would be with the addition of a serum to your skincare
regime.
Designed to be used
post cleansing, pre-moisturiser, serums can be used to help target specific
skincare concerns and add extra hydration and plumping to your skin.
A current favourite
of mine is Murad’s Revitalixir Recovery Serum (£70).
This fabulous sphere
infused serum for your face and eye area is designed to help reduce puffiness,
reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines, adding an instant and
healthy radiance to your complexion.
Formulated with a
host of skin loving ingredients and suitable for all skin types, this hard
working serum is a perfect all-rounder addition to your skincare routine and is
particularly useful if you suffer regularly with stress.
Who doesn’t right.
According to
research, a high stress lifestyle can makes you appear up to 3.5 years older (and the rest mate!)
While the market is flooded with products
aimed specifically at ageing, the visible and damaging effects of stress have
largely been ignored.
Murad seeks to address
this issue by combining high performing, relaxing and reviving ingredients to
target the premature ageing effects that stress has on the skin.

This serum contains a
blend of neuropeptide, paracress and sativa seed oil which helps to smooth your
skin while boosting softness and moisture levels.
Niacinamide works to refine your skins
texture, wild indigo helps to calm stress signals and reduce the appearance of
dark eye circles and caffeine minimises puffiness while toning.
What is the purpose
of the little purple balls suspended in the serum for I hear you ask?
Well, they’re not
there to just look pretty. By separating the oil-based spheres and the
water-based gel, traditional binders have been eliminated to allow for a more
potent, concentrated formula and a higher delivery of actives.
Result.
The serum itself is wonderfully
silky in texture, light and possesses a beautiful, delicate refreshing aroma.
Instantly absorbed,
it felt like my skin drank it in thirstily.
After application, my
skin felt revived, soothed and instantly more toned.
The serum has a
gel/water like a texture, so there is no greasiness or residue and despite its
feather-like texture, managed to quench my thirsty skin.
I’ve noticed a really
positive change since using this serum twice daily; my skin feels healthier,
softer and more radiant, even when I’ve had far from the ideal 8 hours sleep.
Murad’s Revitalixir Recovery Serum is available now and costs £70.
