Liz Earle Superskin™ Face Serum
I've been using Liz Earle products for around ten years now, ever since I discovered the Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser and loved the effect it had upon my skin. A decade later, with a new baby bringing sleepless nights, my skin needs a little extra help so the opportunity to try out the new Superskin™ Face Serum couldn't have come at a better time.
Superskin™ Face Serum combines three botanic ingredients -
- Persian Silk Extract to even skin tone
- Pomegranate Flower Extract to lift and firm
- Rhubarb Root Extract to plump and smooth
There are three steps to application. Using clean fingertips, apply one or two pumps to your face then smooth it over your whole face. You then need to press firmly all over your face to aid absorption. This feels a bit strange but I quickly got used to this new part of my skincare regime.
The serum arrives in a metallic silver bottle with pump dispenser. I really like pumps as there is no waste, you can dispense how much you need.The bottle is really stylish and would grace any dressing table. I use two pumps for my face and this is enough for generous coverage. The product has a luxurious texture, you feel like you are doing your skin a favour as you apply it. The serum has quite an unusual fragrance, not unpleasant but it reminds me of the clay facial masks of my teenage years - earthy and herbal. It's quite strongly scented but this dissipates after a few minutes. It's designed to be an extra step in between cleansing and moisturising so you cleanse as normal, use the serum then follow with your usual moisturiser for best results.
I've been using the serum for just over a week and I'm delighted with the results. My skin feels smoother and brighter already and yesterday two people told me I looked really well without any prompting. It's a pleasure to use the serum and it's going to be a part of my skincare routine from now one. This photo is taken without make up and with no filter, I am enjoying how great my skin feels at the moment.
At £48 for 30ml this is a high end beauty product but I think that the bottle will last a long time and, for these results, I think it is worth the price. It actually feels like you are benefiting your skin by using it and it feels like it has improved the effects of my moisturiser too. In combination they are an excellent base for make up, I think my foundation lasts longer when I have used the serum and my moisturiser before applying it. I really rate Liz Earle products and this is yet another hit product from the range.
