Hydraluron Moisture Booster Review

While dry skin lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water. Often the two very different skin problems can cause confusion. Fine lines under your cheekbones as well as a lack of spring-back suppleness when you pinch your cheeks are telltale signs that skin is dehydrated. Luckily, Indeed Lab’s Hydraluron Moisture Booster can help resuscitate lacklustre skin within hours, quite literally.

The gel formula is packed full of hydrating goodness including marine red algae and the star ingredient, hyaluronic acid which promises to retain water and increase skins elasticity by up to 27%. While the super absorbent gel might leave the skin almost matte-like, once you’ve applied your day cream over the top you will feel the benefits of this product. Make sure you apply to your neck too to avoid the crepe look, especially if you are concerned with ageing.

Within a few hours skin does feel smoother, softer and more moisturised. However this is the kind of product that you might only use when you need that added burst of moisture rather than everyday as it can be too much.   

Hydraluron Moisture Booster is £24.99 and available from Boots.com.

Rating: 6/10 – for those in need of an extra boost you’ll be thankful for this product, but it’s not a skincare essential.

Dr Nick Lowe The Secret Is Out Lifting Super Serum Review

While this product has plenty of independent statistics to back up the tag line ‘proven to lift and firm skin’, to fully understand Dr Nick Lowe’s The Secret is Out Lifting Super Serum, you have to understand the doctor himself.

With a strong philosophy of a simple, regular skincare regime will result in more youthful looking healthy skin, its no surprise all of the products contain super foods such as acai and goji berries and are packed full of vitamins and natural oils.

The Secret is Out Lifting Super Serum isn’t an overnight wonder balm and you don’t feel the tightening feeling that you get with other anti-wrinkle products. Instead, this product is more of a slow burner and does offer reasonable wrinkle prevention, but it will take perseverance.

The consistency is good, although the serum does take a while to dry and moisturising on top is essential. Ingredients such as super berries and a peptide complex, which helps increase and restore elasticity, leaves skin feeling nourished and recharged, however visible line reduction can take at least two weeks of daily use.

Dr Nick Lowe The Secret Is Out Lifting Super Serum is £25.52 and available from Drnicklowe.com.

Rating: 7/10 – it’s good value for money, but it lacks the ‘wow’ factor.  

Omorovicza Gold Flash Firming Serum Review

Omorovicza is a Hungarian beauty brand specialising in the use of natural minerals to help stimulate collagen and heal micro damage. Using Mineral Cosmetology, a patent-protected mineral delivery system, Omorovicza products allow minerals to reach deeper levels of the skin, leaving it feeling softer and most importantly, younger.

The Gold Flash Firming Serum contains an abundance of goodness, but the three key ingredients are as follows. Gold extract, which helps to strengthen skin and smooth out uneven skin tones. Zinc, because it brightens your complexion and encourages the production of melanin to leave you with a healthy, youthful glow. Lastly, the all important vitamin C, which helps to increase and maintain skin’s elasticity, leaving it tighter and firmer.

Together these ingredients make an unbeatable anti-wrinkle product. The serum itself is quite heavy, so it isn’t suitable for very young skin. However if you’re concerned about ageing and can afford the hefty price tag, it is definitely worth investing in.

Once massaged into skin, you can physically feel the product tightening skin and lines are visibly reduced, even deep ones around the mouth caused by smoking. After just one use skin feels hydrated and seriously nourished.

Gold Flash Firming Serum by Omorovicza is £135 and is available from Liberty.co.uk.

Rating: 10/10 – It is a premium anti-ageing skincare brand, but it is worth every penny.
