Speed Review: Allies of Skin Multi Hyaluronic Antioxidant Hydration Serum

I really like the brand, Allies of Skin, thanks to their curated collection of science-led and quality products. The Multi Hyaluronic Antioxidant Hydration Serum initially appealed to me as a multi-level hyaluronic (this means that it has different molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid to effectively penetrate the skin) but I also appreciate the inclusion of 8 antioxidants, Resveratrol and Peptides, which makes it a brilliant multi-tasking serum, ideal for those days when you're short on time and want a streamlined skincare routine. These multiple benefits also go some way towards justifying the price tag, which is undeniably hefty.

On first impressions, the packaging looks chic and I like the functionality of the pump dispenser (which I prefer for a serum over a pipette) but the opaque design means that it's not possible to see how much product is remaining. The product has a lightweight yet creamy serum texture (it's not a clear liquid) which absorbs effortlessly into skin. It has a woodsy, botanical scent which won't be to everyone's liking but I personally found it to be comforting. It feels very comfortable both on initial application and throughout the day, maintaining skin's hydration. I appreciated that it works well layered with other products and there's no sticky residue. As you'd expect, it leaves skin feeling hydrated and looking more plump. I feel that most skin types would benefit from this serum- it's certainly benefitted my dehydrated, combination skin and I've not experienced any issues with breakouts as a result of using it. Head to my Instagram (@Skindeepblogger) Product Reviews Highlight if you'd like to see it in use. At £80 for 30ml, this is a luxury purchase. Thanks to the price, I hate that I love it so much but it really is a quality, results-driven product and if you're looking to treat yourself, I don't think that you'd be disappointed. I'm already on my second bottle.
