Vintner's Daughter - Active Botanical Serum

Ich habe es im Amazingy-Shop direkt getestet, und muss sagen, für mich und meine trockene Fetthaut (ist ähnlich Mischhaut) ist's gar nix. Es ist einfach nur eine flüssige, ölige Mischung, die mich außer ölig glänzen lässt nicht pflegt. Meine Haut kann es nicht aufnehmen, und für mich wäre es hinausgeworfenes Geld. Für andere passt es sicher besser - ich hinterfrage aber den wirklich hohen Preis schon sehr, denn diese Inhaltsstoffe kann ich mir selber auch zusammenmischen.

Mind the hypnotic power of hype

Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum products is one of those products which suddenly got praised and was talked about in almost every magazine and beauty blog, basically, every one who had enough time, found important to talk about this product. So you end up absolutely convinced that this is that magical 'prince on a white horse' in a form of a serum, that will fix every disharmony on your skin and give you a new life.

What I am trying to say is that, no, this is not the product that fits all and fixes everything. There might be products like that, but this, in my opinion, is not the case. My skin, which is combination, with the tendency to get too dry or too oily (with zits or worse - hard bumps under the skin, coming along), when not treated properly - something is lacking, something is just too much or of a bad quality, - was not happy here.

So my mom, in her fifties, was using it; and while during the months of daily use, her skin gave no negative reaction, I cannot see much of a positive reaction either. Her skin has not gotten worse, it just has not changed much at all. I see this serum as one of an average products in the green, luxury cosmetic assortment, - which maintains your skin, rather than brings you any miraculous improvements. Consistency is pleasant, the scent is beautiful, so no doubt for some it might be a lovely experience just for that, I wonder if in a longer run there is more improvement or pure wishful thinking.

The largest part of ingredients is the grape seed oil, considered a wonderful antioxidant provider; based on my experience it is as bad on my skin as it is in my belly. Oil which, along with other similar, e.g., canola oil, pollutes my body. Although, for some grape seed oil might do the trick, I believe there are cheaper products containing this oil, which would do just the same. No doubt there are people who genuinely are excited about the results, unfortunately, I am not the one of them. I expect more from the serum of this price. Would I be carrying greater knowledge about the nature of the ingredients, I might recognize that very expensive group of ingredients which would justify the price, meanwhile, I see rather common ingredients which now, with a clear vision, does not blow my mind away. Perhaps the high price and the high hype it was brought with to our attention, made many, including me, believe that this indeed is the long waited product served. Perhaps next time.

Meine Neurodermitis-geplagte Haut liebt dieses Öl. Ich verwende es morgen nach einem Spritzer Lavendeltoner von Kimberly Sayer und wache morgens mit weicher, strahlender Haut auf. Pigmentstörungen, Trockenheitsfältchen, fahle Haut adé! I am in love!
