One of my goals for 2016 is to take better care of my skin. I've been using the same trusted facial products for a while but as I get older, I've started to notice that some of my products just aren't cutting it for me anymore. How timely is it that I received a bottle of Divas Never Age Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum a few weeks ago to try as a part of my skincare routine. For some reason, the word "acid" just makes me cringe however, hyaluronic acid really isn't even an acid at all.
Hyaluronic Acid is a natural carbohydrate that your skin produces in order to maintain elasticity and stay firm. I was pretty stoked when I discovered that the Divas Never Age Hyaluronic Acid serum was cruelty-free, and contained natural, organic, and vegan-friendly ingredients. And just like that, it started to win me over y'all.
The facial serum includes essential vitamins and anti-aging ingredients such as green tea extract, pomegranate, Vitamin C, Aloe Vera, Vitamin B, Coconut & Kernel oils, and Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil. These ingredients all work together to reduce fine lines and to help your skin maintain a smooth, firm appearance.
The serum also helps minimize dark spots, sun spots, and skin blemishes. As women of color, we usually do well with aging because of the melanin in our skin. However, that doesn't make us exempt from having to deal with issues like dark spots, uneven skin tone, dry skin, and other skin problems. The Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum also contains Vitamin C and antioxidants that help your skin stay healthy, hydrated and radiantly glowing.
The packaging of the bottle was done well. The serum comes in a 1-ounce glass dropper bottle which I loved. The dropper allows for maintained control over how much product you actually use instead of having to waste any. It pours as a clear and gelatinous type of liquid. I noticed right away that it had a very distinct floral perfume smell. I'm not a fan of floral scents so it was a bit much at first. Good thing the fragrance fades as the serum dries. It did take a little getting used to at first, but nothing completely unbearable.
I've been using the facial serum for almost two weeks and I have noticed a boost in hydration. Every winter, my skin starts to peel around my nose and under my eye area. I've tried a couple different moisturizers but none have completely stopped my face from peeling. After using the serum for a while, I can see a noticeable difference and the area around my eyes show no sign of dry, flaky skin. Around my nose still peels a little bit, but there is a remarkable difference in just how much skin actually peels.
It may be too soon to tell, but the very very fine lines around my mouth area, which I like to refer to as laugh lines, are also not as noticeable. It's a very faint difference, but a difference all the while and that works for me. Once the bottle is finished, I'll be able to tell if the slight changes in my skin are permanent or if they only last while actively using the product. For $21.95 a bottle, I wouldn't mind if I would only need 1-2 bottles in order to achieve lasting results. However, if I would need to keep using this bottle for years down the line then that's another story.
Would I purchase again? Why not. It's a great product overall and it works well in keeping my skin hydrated and firm. Divas Never Age Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum is suitable for all skin types, unless you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
