Truth Serum® Vitamin C Collagen Booster

Today I want to talk about a product I got the opportunity to sample, but I have not yet purchased it for myself (but it's on my list). First of all, I want to tell you that I am always quite skeptical of all these weird expensive serums with all these claims like "oh your face is going to look like a shiny diamond" or whatever. I purchased something online from Sephora awhile back and got a decent-sized sample of this Ole Henriksen product and let me tell you, I fell in love. You should also know that I am very anal and particular about my skin because it is so touchy to what is being put on it... and I just like to have nice skin! So let me tell you what I like about this serum....

The texture. It's a serum, but it's not oily/greasy. It is really light and even has a nice faint scent. This is really good for sensitive skin and I believe it would be good for all skin types whether you're dry, oily, or combination.

A little bit goes a long way. I had a sample packet and I got to use it 4 or 5 times (can't quite remember) before it ran out. It seems expensive but for the usage and the skin benefits, I think it is a good deal. At Sephora it is $48 for the 1 oz and $72 for the 1.7 oz. I am not sure if you can purchase it other places but this is where I know to get it.

The active ingredients. This is what I got off the internet: 
-High Potency Vitamin C (10%!!) Complex: Calms and heals skin; strengthens collagen.
-Green Tea Extract: Offers powerful antioxidant action to protect against damage.
-Sodium Hyaluronate: Binds moisture to the cells.
-Licorice Extract: Evens out pigmentation.

And of course the most important part... How it makes my skin look and feel. My complexion was improved, my skin had more of a glow to it, my skin felt tighter (in a good way), and my skin was very smooth and looked flawless sans makeup. You can use this with or without moisturizer, but usually comes before a moisturizer if you do both. 

I will put a link to it at the bottom if you want to check it out, read reviews, and what not. Overall for the short time I have tried this, I would give it about a 4.7/5. The only reason why I knock it down a little bit is because of the price. But like I said, I do believe it is worth it and I do have this product on my shopping list! I promise I will do more than just face-related beauty reviews! Please let me know if you have any requests. Have a fabulous weekend, friends!
