I must confess that when I was accepted to review this product for my honest opinion I was floored simply because of a few reasons the first being that it is such a luxury product secondly the cost of it and thirdly I believed it to be quite frankly out of my depths as a reviewer being that it is not something I would have ever sought out or purchased myself. That all being said I did in fact receive it and now after using it for over a week I am ready to give you all my review.
Xanadu is as I stated the most luxurious serum that I have ever come across. It is formulated with a combination of organic ingredients, high tech science and of course 24 k real gold. ( as per stated on the packaging ) The claims that it boasts are as follows
- Moisturise
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Even skin tone
- Repair sun damage
- Give you a golden natural glow
Now for the actual review part. Moisturise ? yes I do feel that it does in fact moisturise and retain the moisture in my skin for what I would consider most of the day.
Reduce the appearance of wrinkles ? nothing immediate or visible to me after 1 + weeks of use but perhaps in the long run, Even skin tone ? Not at all for me, this is one thing that I have not noticed at all. Repair sun damage ? this type of claim is one you have to lay your faith in because not all of all have visible sun damage. Gives you a natural glow ? again something I myself in using this serum struggled with which is quite odd being that this is the one claim I would expect to shine through seeing that it in fact contains 24 k gold. I do however want to add one thing I did notice is that my skin has the appearance of looking firmer at least for a short term after application, why ? I do not know but I thought it was worthy of being mentioned.
Now for my overall thoughts on this serum. I would give it a 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5. It is a good serum but for the hefty price tag I expect more. It does for the most part what it claims, it has a nice non sticky formula that absorbs quickly and do not get me started on the exquisite packaging. I like this serum but truth be told I think women or men over 45 or 50 would get better use out of it. If you are in the market for a luxury serum Xanadu is for you without a doubt and once you see the pictures listed below you to will want to get your hands on some.
I am getting this to review as well so it will be interesting to see what my thoughts are on it considering you think 45-50 would be a better age range, and I'm only 28! lol we'll see! Chris wants to know what the hell a face serum needs gold for, but I guess we'll find out.
ReplyDeleteNot that someone younger cannot use it just that i think it woukd be better suited to an older age group but then again it all depends on each individuals skin. To answer Chris tell him I have no friggin' clue lol. Oh and let me know if you to find it fragranced slightly of old lady lmao
