The Face Shop Pomegranate & Collagen Volume Lifting Serum
Written by: Swati on:
I have been testing out the Face Shop Pomegranate & Collagen Volume Lifting Serum for a few weeks now. I had spoken about it on our Instagram stories too and I want to pen my quick thoughts about today. Read on!
The Face Shop Pomegranate & Collagen is a volume lifting line that firms up and restores sagging and sunken facial contours. Through the synergy of pomegranate and marine collagen, this line is effective for lifting and firming up skin. The enriched formula of pomegranate and collagen continuously provides rich nourishment to your skin allowing your natural radiance to shine through.
The Face Shop Pomegranate And Collagen Volume Lifting Serum is a highly concentrated firming serum that absorbs into skin effectively, delivers intense moisture and leaves skin looking and feeling lifted.
Key Features:
- This highly concentrated, elasticity-boosting serum contains collagen and the extract of pomegranate, a fruit known to be packed with beauty benefits. It penetrates deep into skin upon application, providing moisturizing and lifting effects.
- Not only does this product moisturize and lift your skin to produce an anti-aging appearance, it also provides a barrier for your skin to prevent your skin from drying and becoming damaged.
- The hyaluronic acid used strengthens your skin retains the skin's moisture. One of the compounds in this essence is panthenol, which provides nourishment to your skin, keeping it radiant.
Ingredients :
- Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Triethylhexanoin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), 1,2 Hexanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Peg-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Punica Granatum Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen (8mg), Sodium Hyaluronate, Beta-Glucan, Adenosine, Panthenol, Carbomer, Potassium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Elaesis Guineensis (Palm) Oil, Iron Oxides (Cl 77491), Fragrance
Love the packaging - it's sleek but has a good weight to it. The bottle has a beautiful pink iridescent finish. The pump dispenser is very convenient - easy to dispense the serum and it also keeps the product free from contamination.
I am quite impressed with the ingredient list. It's packed with some noteworthy ingredients with proven skincare benefits.
- Glycerin - moisturizer, keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells healthy, protects against irritation, helps to restore barrier.
- Shea butter -moisturizer & emollient, regenerates and soothes the skin, protects it from external factors (such as UV rays or wind) and is also rich in antioxidants.
- Pomegranate extract - skin conditioning
- Sodium hyaluronate - a form of Hyaluronic acid, acts as a sponge & helps the skin hold onto water (makes skin plump and elastic).
- Hydrolyzed collagen - moisturiser & humectant, helps to make the skin smooth
- Beta-glucan - shown to have wound healing properties, it’s a mild antioxidant, skin soother and moisturizer, and has shown promising anti-ageing benefits.
- Adenosine - can help with wound healing, anti-inflammatory agent, can help with skin’s own collagen production & improve skin firmness and elasticity.
- Panthenol - moisturizer & humectant.
The serum has a light lotion consistency which spreads beautifully & gets absorbed quickly into the skin making it soft & plump with hydration (I prefer applying it on damp skin). It doesn't feel too heavy and does not leave any sticky or greasy feeling behind. It also layers well with other products.
It has a mild floral fragrance that dissipates in a few minutes. It's not too strong, but keep it in mind if you are sensitive to fragrance.
I don't find the need to layer separate moisturizer with this, especially since the weather is getting warmer - for reference I have combination skin. This serum provides enough hydration and moisture for my skin alone. However, if you have dry skin you might need to follow it up with a moisturizer.
Price : 2040 INR for 80 ml (available HERE). Keep an eye out for discounts.
In my opinion, this serum is a good entry-level anti-ageing product that would suit normal-dry skin well & will even work for combination skin. It might not be the best option for oily skin types.
This serum is meant for lifting & firming sagging skin. I cannot comment on this as I do not have the relevant concerns yet but I will be testing this serum on mom & will update you all on how it works on mature skin.
