Have you heard of Biovène Barcelona? This cruelty free beauty brand is all about effective formulas at accessible price points and these two retinol products have made want to try more from the brand.
The *Retinol Night Lift Power Tightening Night Cream is formulated with Retinol, and Strawberry and Cherry extracts to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, brighten, and fight free radicals.
The *Retinol and Squalane Serum is a blend of nourishing Squalane and 1% Retinol, designed to promote elasticity and collagen production, brighten dark spots, smooth wrinkles and fine lines and combat blemishes.
Both products have a luxurious texture and are a real pleasure to use, but the serum is my pick of the two and it sits beautifully under a thick night cream.
Results I've noticed so far after around 6 weeks of using the serum consistently every night include softer skin and a slight reduction in the pigmentation on my forehead that I've had since pregnancy. It's also worth mentioning that the hormonal spots I get on my chin and cheeks every month have disappeared a lot faster than usual.
In fact, now that I think about it, my skin is clearer in general than it has been in a long while. I've never really had much of an issue with pimples or very visible black heads, until recent months when I had noticed a bit of an increase in congestion and spots. It may be coincidence, and my skin has settled down on its own, or it could be down to the Biovène serum. Either way, I'm pretty happy with the overall texture and clarity of my complexion at this moment, so I'm inclined to purchase a bottle once this one runs out. As if mentioned, I've used it consistently every night, so it's worth noting that this has not irritated my skin at all - maybe a little sting when applied immediately after cleansing at the beginning, when I first started using it, but now it just feels like applying, say, a hyaluronic acid serum or something else that doesn't traditionally irritate. I guess my skin likes the mix of Retinol and Squalane?
The cream retails for £14.99 and the serum at £5.99 for 50ml and 30ml respectively. I'm actually delighted to find a retinol product I like for £5.99! Incredibly affordable and certainly worth a try. Find them at Morrison's, Just My Look and biovenebarcelona.com
