My review: Of all the products in the Radiance range, this was my favourite. I usually find serums too heavy or greasy for daytime use, but this was not the case at all with the Radiance serum. It has a light silky texture. I applied about 3 drops to my face, after toning, while my skin was still damp, and I found this helped the serum spread easily and absorb into my skin. It didn’t leave my skin greasy, shiny or sticky, which serums often do but instead it was gorgeously light.I used this morning and night and after each use my skin look really hydrated and the fine lines were filled in. In fact, my forehead had a bit of a Botox look to it – it wasn’t frozen but there were no lines visible at all, unless I scrunched it up. Since I was testing the whole range, it is difficult to be sure exactly which item was giving me this effect, but I am pretty sure it was the serum.
The serum has next to no fragrance and I love this in a serum. I couldn’t smell a thing when I applied it to my face. It comes in a 13ml glass vial with an eye dropper (which you can see in the picture above) which makes it very easy to dispense the ideal amount.
I would definitely buy this serum again – not only was it my favourite Radiance product but it is also the best serum I have ever used. It did everything it promised to do and left my skin looking really refreshed, line free and quite amazing. There is not one thing that I would change about this product. At $34.95 it is an excellent price for a serum, and definitely good value.
