We love it when the universe (or more accurately, Evolve Natural Beauty) presents us with a new serum, the day our current product has run out – the ‘going-home present’ from Evolve’s 15th birthday celebrations, hosted by founder Laura Rudoe (gosh, we go back a l-o-o-o-n-g way…)
And so it was that we were immediately able to put this new serum through its paces – and duly, be impressed.
The addition to Evolve’s line-up is designed to brighten, and to target pigmentation. To be fair, that’s not our principal skincare concern – but we know that it is for many women; years ago, Clinique did some in-depth research that revealed women are more bothered by pigmentation than by wrinkles – perhaps because everyone gets wrinkles, but not every develops dark spots/sun spots. (So it feels bit unfair.)
However, this serum contains two of our fave age-defying ingredients. Resveratrol is a super-antioxidant; this features a version from white mulberry at 3% strength, along with 4% niacinamide, another renowned brightener.
You will WANT to make a habit of using Evolve Organic Beauty Resveratrol + Niacinamide Serum, which is half the battle, because with all skincare, what we know is that consistency of use is key. It’s pale pink, silky to the touch, absolutely non-sticky (unlike many serums), and is very lightly scented with vanilla. Hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, sunflower oil and sunflower wax also feature, and all in all, it’s a fabulous prelude to SPF, or your regular night-time moisturiser. If you’ve oily skin, you might just be able to get away with this, in terms of moisturisation. (Since we live in the age of the £375+ serum – which we could never in all conscience feature on our pages – it’s not too extravagantly-priced, either.)
Performance? Feels great, nicely moisturising, while skin has had several compliments – and looking in the mirror, yes, it looks more radiant. Can’t really ask for more than that, after just a week’s use."
