Good afternoon everyone, I have a review of a new serum I’ve been
trying out recently for you all today! Maple Holistics are a US based beauty
company who recently got in touch offering to send one of their products for me
to try out! They develop and manufacture their own natural cosmetics which are
animal cruelty free in the USA and believe in providing a natural, holistic
range of products that enhance their user’s hygiene, health and daily living. After
seeing their products crop up on a few blogs over the last month or so and reading
this review by Jessica, I was intrigued to try the Vitamin C Anti-Aging Serum* so
here are my thoughts!
Now, while anti-aging products themselves aren’t high on my list of priorities,
you can never start too early and a lot of the ingredients looked like they
would crossover quite nicely into my skincare routine. As well as Vitamin C,
this serum contains hyaluronic acid which is supposed to help retain moisture,
aloe vera and Vitamins A and E! It promises to help with fine lines, wrinkles
and discolouration as well as reverse sun damage and stimulate collagen levels.
Now I can’t say it’s done all this for me but the biggest difference I
have noticed is around my nose which is usually constantly flaky (attractive, I
know) even though I generally have quite oily skin. These flakes are all gone
and though I am sure they will begin to play up again with the change in
weather and indoor heating etc. I am so glad I have this serum now to keep
better control of it and it hasn’t made my skin any oilier! My makeup is
sitting on my skin a lot better than usual too as it has no dry patches to
cling to so I will be using this religiously over the winter to keep my skin
looking as best as it can! I’m hoping with a bit more use I will see a difference
with discolouration as I suffer with pigmentation issues from old acne scarring
so I will definitely be on the lookout for improvements!
The packaging of this serum is quite like what you would find a facial
oil come in so I was half expecting the consistency to be the same. The serum however
feels almost slippery (in a good way!) and has an inoffensive, gentle scent
that disappears as soon as the serum dries in, which is very quickly, leaving a
smooth dry face. The dropper is very easy to control and I’ve been using 2 to 3
drops of this every night and every other morning and rubbing it onto my face and
neck before moisturising. It takes seconds for it to dry in and leaves my skin feeling
smooth, ready for makeup and not tacky at all.
Overall, I have been loving this serum and am so grateful I got to try
it so thanks very much to Maple Holistics and Edumuch who are sponsoring their
blogger connection!

DeleteThis serum sounds lovely! I've been using serum with Vit. C and my skin's appearance has improved so much! x
ReplyDeleteMummy’s Beauty Corner
Definitely think it and the hyaluronic acid have helped my skin so much! Xx
DeleteThis serum definitely sounds nice, so glad that it has worked for you! My skin doesn't really get a long with Vitamin C serums and creams- they tend to break me out.

Ah that sucks! I'm always scared to try new skincare as my skin is so temperamental so I'm happy this didn't cause me any breakouts :D xx
DeleteVitamin C has become a very popular skincare ingredient but the only time I used a Vit C serum, I've noticed it kind of clogged my skin a little. Was it the product itself or vitamin C? I don't know. Need to put it to the test properly. This sounds like a lovely serum. x

I haven't had that problem thankfully! It can be strange how one product works so well for someone and not so well for another! Xx
DeleteI'm all serum-ed out right now, I've been trying so many recently. This looks so similar to one I'm testing out by a brand called InstaNatural. I'd be really intrigued to see how it compares :)
ReplyDeleteKirstie | Kimamely Beauty
I've seen a few different serums crop up over the past few weeks all with Vitamin C when I had never really noticed it before trying this one! Xx
DeleteThanks for sharing, I haven't tried this yet, but it looks interesting!

DeleteI always wonder about anti-ageing products and you've convinced me to give them a go and do a bit of research! Never too early, right??

Prevention is better than cure as they say! Xx
DeleteI've never tried anything like this before, but have included Vitamin C into my skincare routine before with a mist & a moisturiser. It was great for adding that healthy glow to the skin & keeping my skin looking fresh x
ReplyDeleteBeauty with charm
Ooh a mist sounds lovely! I'll have to look into that next! Xx
DeleteI haven't heard of Maple Holistics but I love wholesome ingredients & products. Sounds like the perfect antiaging & hydrating serum. :]

DeleteThis sounds really good. Do you know if it is suitable for sensitive skin?
ReplyDeleteBeth x

I find it to be really gentle and although my skin's not overly sensitive it is acne prone and this hasn't affected it but you could get in contact with them if you want to know for sure :) xx
DeleteJust by saying cruelty free, I am already sold on this product. Love that more and more companies are popping up like that. x
ReplyDeletewww.beautgeorge.com
Yay! Me too, companies like this always get a big tick from me! Xx
DeleteI'm so funny about skincare with how sensitive my skin is. I love that it's cruelty free though!
ReplyDeleteCasey - ATopsyTurvyBlog
Me too! I'm the same with skincare too, I'm always so scared it will break me out but glad to say I've had nothing but a positive experience with this! Xx
