Before getting higher end goodies in my Ipsy bag, my only experience with facial serums had been super cheap discount drugstore items in the under $10 range. I wasn’t thrilled with them, and shrugged them off as duds and unnecessary extra skincare steps.
So when I received a full size AWAKE Glow Pill Super Serum in my Ipsy Glam Plus box this last round, I was excited to try out a “real” serum in the “ouch” price range (for me, haha).
Now, I have been using a TON of new quality skincare products recently, along with fully hydrating myself AND drinking green juices, so my skin is looking pretty awesome these days. I say all of that to explain that I’m not sure what role, exactly, this serum is playing in my overall skin improvement.
What I CAN say is that it goes on quickly and smoothly, leaving a slight tacky feeling for about 20-30 seconds before smoothing out to soft skin. My skin HAS been glowy recently, but again, is it the serum?? Maybe…?
Whether it is this serum or one of the other products I’ve been using, or a combination of them all, my skin has been radiant and the products I’ve been using haven’t been clogging my blackhead-prone pores.
So I’m pretty darn happy with the serum so far! The combination of vitamins B3 and B5 and niacinamide is meant to hydrate oily skin and leave skin looking plump, poreless, and insanely glowy. That’s been my skin these past few weeks soooo… Mission accomplished?
