MY REVIEWS
OVERALL VERDICT >>>>> LOVE
RATING >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5
My skin type:
Dry/Combination Oily (T-zone), Uneven skin tone with lots of freckles on cheeks. Also, sensitive around the cheek area.
Just a note:
I generally do not wear make up except for sunscreen. On a daily basis, it's only my skin care and sunscreen, that's all.
How long have I used this:
Two years. My must have.
Will I repurchase:
Absolutely. This is already my fourth 50ml bottle.
Ahaaa another one of my MUST MUST HAVE. I know I have too many MUST HAVES from CLARINS but what can I do, their products just work really well on me. This serum carries a very special scent that transports you to another world. Too dramatic sounding maybe but that's the impression I got when I first sniffed the product.
So first thing first, let's talk about the scent. It has a very calming scent which is extremely therapeutic. I find myself drowning in it's scent every single time I apply it to my face, it's just so relaxing. I never get bored of it which is amazing because I normally become immune or worse, get bored of the same scent after a while making the experience less fun than when I first use the product. But even at my 6th bottle right now, I find myself looking forward to applying it on my face every time.
That's how much I love the scent of this serum.
Next, let's move on to the texture shall we? If you notice from the bottle itself, Double serum comes with a double pump that allows for two different products to be pumped out simultaneously. The color and texture of both products are different. The brownish colored liquid has a thick consistency to it while the transparent white liquid on the other side of the bottle is more lightweight and oily compared to the former. Once combined, both produce a semi thick serum that that has just the right consistency, not thick but not runny either.
The perfect serum texture.
So how does my face feel about this serum? My face screams MORE! Give me more! It is that good that my face craves for it. Right after application, my face feels slightly sticky but it also felt instantly moisturized. Imagine this situation: You've been sleeping in an air-conditioned room for more than 6 hours and woke up to a dehydrated face. Then you start washing your face and your skin feels immediately moisturized. That's exactly the same feeling I get with Double serum. That surge of hydration relief to prepare my skin for further product application. Despite the stickiness at the beginning, the product absorbs really well and quick without leaving my skin feeling oily at all. If anything, my skin is left thoroughly moisturized and HAPPY!
Okay enough with the first impressions, what about the result? This product promises anti-aging effects including a much more youthful look with firmer skin, visibly reduced wrinkles, more even complexion and less visible pores. Well, after finishing 5 bottles (now i'm currently at my 6th), I am super proud and confident to announce that this product DELIVERS RESULTS! I wouldn't say it works miracle but with long usage, you will definitely see the difference. My skin is naturally dry with uneven skin tone and after using Double serum all of these problems disappear. My skin tone became even, my skin is no longer dehydrated looking and the lines under my eyes have diminished. My face looks firm and plump with every use. I am only in my early 30's, but I can see that if I were to stick to this product, even if I can't look like I'm 21, I can slow down the aging process and probably look 30 when I'm 35. That's good enough for me.
The aging process can't be avoided but it can be stalled and this product can help me with that I believe.
I LOVE this product so much that if I were given the choice to take only one product for survival during an emergency, I won't hesitate to grab this one. It's a complete product. Smells great, moisturizing, non-oily and anti aging all in one, It's the perfect all-in-one product to me.
PROS
Very hydrating yet not too wet and not sticky at all.
Absorbs fast leaving skin really soft and smooth.
Smells divine! It's like aromatherapy every single time I apply it on.
Gives a healthy glow and radiance to face after each application.
Noticeably younger looking skin after only two weeks of use and great at maintaining it that way.
The transparent pump bottle makes it easier to see how much product left inside.
Pump bottle prevents the product from oxidation which reduces the potency of the product.
A little goes a long way. Just two pumps to cover the whole face and neck.
Not cheap but not as expensive as other high end brand serums.
Considering the results, worth every penny.
CONS
None
