A Facialist Practically Begged Me to Use This High-Tech Serum—My Skin Transformed in 30 Days

It's not often that, upon meeting an aesthetician for the very first time, they excitedly tell you all about a new serum they're obsessed with and highly recommend you use. It's less often that the serum in question is unsponsored and unaffiliated with the aesthetician. It's even less often that you're told "all the other aestheticians" at the clinic are obsessed with it too. I think the direct quote was, "Seriously, you need to try it."

That's what happened when I went to get a facial recently. My skin, which is prone to redness, irritation, and dehydration, was acting up, and I was hoping the facial would right some of the wrongs. It did, but the experience also introduced me to a high-tech serum that totally transformed my skin in 30 days flat. That's not an exaggeration. It soothed redness, smoothed texture, calmed irritation, and even plumped my skin. Ahead, see the serum (or should I say serums?) in question. Plus, see some pretty epic before and after pictures to prove it really works.

As you can see, my skin was red and irritated with lots of discoloration.

This picture was taken exactly 30 days later. I'm not wearing makeup, and I have no filter on my camera. I mean, these results are so dramatic I'm almost shocked.

Save for the small breakout on my forehead, my skin has dramatically improved.

My Results

I've never, ever tried a serum (or serums I guess I should say) that has dramatically improved my skin to this level in just 30 days. Not only did they calm my redness and irritation, but most shockingly, they minimized the brown spots and discoloration that littered my complexion after spending a whole summer outside under the sun. I really can't say enough good things about these serums. Sure, they're expensive—extremely so if you're used to more budget-friendly skincare products like I am—but if you're able to give them a spin, I highly recommend them.

From here on out, I'm just using the Daily Serum to maintain my epic results. The brand says it's a good maintenance product to use daily if you're under 40. If you have more mature skin, you can incorporate the Intense Serum as you see fit.

No matter which one you use, make sure you're applying them correctly for the best results. Only ever apply the serums to clean, dry skin. Then, wait about five minutes before applying any other skincare or makeup products. This ensures your skin is being exposed to all the exosome goodness and they're able to work their magic before they get diluted by another product. Do that, and be consistent, and I'm sure you'll be as shocked as I am by the results. And in case you need just one more reason to invest in these serums, know that Megan Fox is reportedly a fan… enough said.
