Insight Cosmetics sent a hamper of their Skin Essentials face serums to TheGlitz for a review. Since we are sticklers for a look ‘beyond the superficial’, we scrutinized the products with eagle eyes even to the extent of nitpicking.
The 2% Salicylic Acid Active Acne Face Serum was given to a team member who had an issue with pimples and acne. The 2% Hyaluronic Acid + 2% Alpha Arbutin Face Serum was handed over to an individual with uneven skin and the 18% Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Serum was picked by a skin fanatic who loves trying things on her skin. The duration they used the products spanned from a week to 10 days.
TheGlitz verdict is: Insight Cosmetics Skin Essential face serums are absolute winners and they really work!
Face Serums
2% Salicylic Acid Active Acne Face Serum
Since I have a love-hate relationship with my skin, I picked up The Salicylic Acid Active Acne Face Serum. I have acne, scars and visible pores. My skin routine started with: I dabbed a little of the serum each day and gently massaged it in, Of course, I can’t do without my best pal, my sunscreen, so I followed it up with that… hoping that this would be the answer to my prayers and I would get up one fine day with skin as soft and smooth as any Bollywood heroine. Well, in seven days, it was too much to ask any product to wipe out twenty years of havoc, but yes, the product worked extremely well. I found my skin looking brighter and even the stubborn scars didn’t look so deep and dark. I also didn’t get any breakouts as its formula penetrated deep into the pores to clear out excess oil and impurities. Additionally, the Salicylic Acid Active Acne Face Serum’s exfoliating properties helped remove dead skin cells and smoothed the skin’s surface.
TheGlitz verdict: This product is super awesome and a must-have for acne-prone skin.
2% Hyaluronic Acid + 2% Alpha Arbutin Face Serum
My face woes were tired, uneven, dull skin. I tried the 2% Hyaluronic Acid + 2% Alpha Arbutin Face Serum. As directed, I took 2-3 drops of the serum and gently rubbed it on the face until it was fully absorbed. I found that the dark spots were receding over time.
This serum is expertly formulated to inhibit melanin production which helps in fading dark spots and evening out your skin tone. Infused with 2% Hyaluronic Acid, this serum also creates a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture for a plump, healthy glow. Additionally, this serum also adds a protective layer to the skin that not only protects from sun damage but also makes it an essential part of your day-to-day skincare routine.
TheGlitz verdict: I loved the product. I used it after cleansing my face and found a noticeable difference.
18% Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Serum
I love experimenting with my skin… that said in a good way as I am very particular and use only quality products. Curious to try this, I tried the 18% Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Serum.
Infused with scientifically proven ingredients like Aloe Vera, Tea Tree, and Vitamin C, 18% Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Serum is seriously effective. It adds to the radiance of your face. I know, it did to mine! I found my face texture looking much better, giving me a more youthful look.
This potent antioxidant not only brightened the skin but also combatted signs of aging, promoting a more youthful appearance. The natural ingredients in this product worked together to calm inflammation, reduce acne spots, and repair skin texture.
