Deluded or what? "First signs of aging" having your bus pass is not a first sign of aging love ok - women in their mid 40's are slightly beyond that stage, but it was all they had in the anti wrinkle serum front on the display so it had to do. I do like this, although I think its better suited to an oily skin perhaps, it is very mattifying and leaves your skin with a sort of velvety but not moist feel, making sense? Whilst I dont actually believe that anything in a tube can erase existing lines I am ever hopeful that it can help delay the appearance of new ones!
I also don't really have a night time regime, apart from the usual cleanse and apply Organic Surge night cream so I thought perhaps adding something to help with radiance would be a good idea - ok AND it was 3 for 2 so I needed something else in my basket! I like how this applies, it feels very comfortable, it has the effect of sort of sloughing off the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, I apply it and then the night cream and I get that "peely" balled up stuff appearing as I rub in the night cream, presumably thats my inner radiance being revealed!
This however is the star of the show, I am loving it. It is a really nice cooling gel that I am using morning and night and I have to say I think the skin around my eye is looking much fresher and plumper - I get very dry, papery skin round my eyes and this combined with the Avene Rich Eye cream has really helped. I had wanted the eye and lip serum, they are still on my wish list, but as they weren't around I thought I'd give this a whirl and I am really glad I did.
This is the anti wrinkle serum, top, the radiance serum, middle and eye gel, bottom.
The Botanics Ultimate Lift Eye Gel for mature skin is £6.12. The First Signs of Aging Intensive wrinkle reduction serum isn't on the Boots website but was £9, or there abouts and the Radiance Night Renewal Serum is £9.18. I have used all 3 of these for over a week now and none of them have caused any problems with my rosacea or skin sensitivity so I think they would probably be ok for people with similar skin to mine.
Have you used anything from the Botanics range that you think is overlooked and that more people should try, or anything that similarly isn't getting the love you think it should from any other range? If so, share!
I love skincare products made with organic ingredients. I haven't seen this brand in the US but they sound really nice. Thanks for the awesome review.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll have to give the Eye Gel a try, the sun's been hitting my eyes hard! The other thing I love about Botanics is it's all reasonably priced, especially with so much emphasis on organics.

Hi Kristie. They are from Boots here in the UK so not sure if you can get them in the US? But they are worth hunting down if you can, not least because they are so reasonably priced. Absolute star of the range is the cleansing balm though so if you do find them make sure you get that!
ReplyDeleteHi Coco, the gel is lovely its really cooling and I can def see a difference in the skin below my eyes from using it.
Thanks both for taking the time to comment it is always much appreciated. xx
