StriVectin Multi-Action Active Infusion Youth Serum 29 ml

I do like this product, its packed with lots if ingredients that's good for your skin. I have been using it AM and PM for the last couple of weeks and it leaves your skin feeling lovely. The serum has a clinical fragrance, but I find that rather appealing and refreshing. It glides on your skin beautifully to give an even coverage, leaving a firming feel to your skin. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and gives it a healthy looking glow without any greasiness, ideal under make up.

I initially didn’t like this, despite the fact that it was quite good on my skin, absorbed well, and definitely made my skin feel soft and hydrated, the reason being the fragrance was a bit weird, after a few days use though, I found I’d got used to the scent and really didn’t mind it!That overcome, this is actually a really good serum, I’ve used it under moisturiser and also used it alone and it moisturises really well. Long term use will reveal if it haves any additional benefit, but so far I’m very pleased. Just be prepared to possibly not like the fragrance!!

Although this product looked very pretty, I found it smelled so heavily of alcohol that I was concerned about using it on my skin. When I did, I didn’t notice any changes, even cosmetically due to the shimmer particles. Stopped using it after a week

This is quite an expensive cream, but it seems to be a lot better than all of the cheaper alternatives so far. The dispenser is attractive and effective, and the cream inside the bottle has "pearls" in which give it a very exotic look.Once dispensed the cream rubs in quickly, with a little perfume, and over the course of the last week has lead to softer, more even skin on the areas is was applied to.I couldn't say for sure whether it is really worth the asking-price, which seems high for a small bottle such as this. However, it certainly does more than moisturise and user regularly you can definitely see results.

An easy to apply serum - when you first apply the serum it does smell a bit unpleasant but this rapidly disappeared after a few seconds. It absorbs easily into the skin and you only need to use a tiny amount. Immediately my skin felt softer and plumped up without leaving it oily or shiny.After using for a week i have found my skin does look more even in tone, slightly more firmer and plumped up reducing the look of lines around the eyes. i definately think my skin looks a few years younger!I really like the handy pump dispenser as it delivers just the right amount onto your fingertips - and as you are only using a tiny amount i imagine it will last 2/3 months.Apart from the initial odour when i really like it !

This highly fragrant, very expensive, ‘Active Infusion Youth Serum’ from StriVectin comes in a hygienic pump dispenser, which I like, making it easy to use. It’s said to release Pure NIA Spheres™ and is said to be scientifically proven to strengthen the moisture barrier, inhibit environmental aggressors, and optimize skin performance.It has a nice silky texture with a formula which includes emollients, water-binding ingredients, along with several very good free radical fighting antioxidants, and skin restoring sodium hyaluronate, and a peptide. The pure NIA Spheres™, which is myristyl nicotinate, a form of niacinamide, and while very good, it’s not superior to regular niacinamide (B3) found for example in many much cheaper Olay products.What lets this down for me is the very high amount of fragrance it contains (6th Ingredient) in fact this contains far more fragrance than it does the helpful ingredients.Why Fragrance is a Problem for the Skin:Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes a chronic sensitizing reaction on the skin. This can disrupt the skin's healthy appearance, worsen dryness, and redness, with the depletion of vital substances in the skin's surface, and generally keeps skin from looking healthy, smooth, and hydrated. Fragrance-free is always the best way to go for all skin types. A surprising fact: Research has demonstrated that you don't always need to see or feel the effects on your skin for your skin to be suffering. This negative impact and the visible damage, like sun damage, may not become apparent for a long time.

Hard to know how to review this, since I suspect you would need many weeks of use to get any kind of result. The product is a bubblegum pink, with lots of intriguing bubbles floating in it. When it comes out it has a strange smell, a bit like nail polish remover - not entirely pleasant. You only need a very small amount and after using it your skin feels pretty tight, so you need to moisturise lavishly afterwards.I’ve been using this for several weeks and alas I can’t see any difference yet. At £85 it’s a big investment, and at the moment, it doesn’t seem worth it.

I was lucky enough to be offered this, very costly, serum in exchange for an honest review.The serum is recommended for use under a moisturiser but I’ve actually been using it in its own and have had very good results. My skin certainly looks less tired and the serum is easy to apply and absorbs well.My only complaint is the packaging. The pump dispenser never worked and I would expect better from such a costly purchase. Luckily it doesn’t come in a fixed unit so it’s possible to unscrew the bottle and pour the serum but this then doesn’t allow you to control the amount you’re using.Nice product but they need to sort the dispenser.
