Glorious product

This serum is a dream - it is so hydrating and glides on beautifully. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth and is wonderful paired with the sunshine oil. An added bonus is that these two products are all you need for your face. Love that it is a NZ product.

Sensational product. Keeps my
Skin moist. Works well with all this range actually. Nothing I do not like.

Exquisite!

Absolutely delighted with this serum!
I purchased it to support a NZ maker, and because the description was so beautifully written - and my gosh it’s an absolute dream product! It smells gorgeous and my thirsty skin absolutely drinks it up when I apply it. It’s super smooth, feels fabulous on, and is an excellent base for other products. Delighted and uh-oh because I can’t live without it now! 😂❤️

So hydrating

I can instantly feel my skin drink up this serum as soon as I put it on, and it feels nourished and plump. For a low maintenance and lazy skin care kind of girl, I love the simplicity of this routine combined with the YAMS serum! They are the perfect one stop combo.

MAGIC JUICE

Ok, I have to admit I was sceptical but this product is actually incredible - especially when paired with YAMS.

It's been 5 days since I ran out of these serums and I can see a noticeable difference without them - my skin is dryer and duller and now I feel sad. Can't wait to restock!
