What the gurus are saying

This serum delivers a silky texture and visible hydration boost that gurus praise, particularly for those skipping retinol during pregnancy or breastfeeding, since it offers similar firming and anti-aging effects without the active. The pearl finish sits nicely under makeup and between a hydrating mist and moisturiser, making it especially helpful for dehydrated skin. The main caveat is the price tag: gurus note it's a genuine luxury step rather than a skincare essential, so best suited to those with budget room for indulgence.

"This is supposed to be a vegan alternative to a retinol, which for me right now is really nice because I'm still breastfeeding, so I'm not using my other favorite retinol products at the moment. But I love what retinol does, so this gives the same kind of anti-aging, firming skin effect without retinol. I've used this for a while now, really love it, and was happy to see it win an award."

"This is a lovely serum. It has like this beautiful pearl in it, it's great for underneath makeup and it's a really great step for like after a mist and before moisturizer, especially if you have very very dry skin or you have dehydrated skin. I was using it when my skin was really really dehydrated, especially when I had to do makeup and I would do a mist, I would do the serum and then I would do some kind of a moisturizer and it was just like such a nice combination. That said, it's super expensive and it's definitely not necessary. If you have some money to spend on skincare and you want to indulge in a little bit of luxury skincare it is really nice and it does make your skin glow. If you wear it on a day when you're not doing your makeup, like just on your face, it doesn't make your face look like shiny or sparkly in any way, it just makes your skin look hydrated, which is really nice."
