Here are some of my Jane Scriver goodies that I photographed last summer, last summer? (feels like a long time but it was only 5-6 mths ago). @skinthana Here you go! The review is finally up.
.
Today I just wanted to talk about the Bioluronic buzz 2000 because I used this for about 2 weeks when it arrived, infrequently between my summer travels and then almost forgot about until I started clearing out my beauty stash this week. Luckily it has 12mths of use once opened, which is great! So I still have some good months of use left.
.
What is it?
A soothing, clarifying hyaluronic hydration.
.
▪️Pros:
I love the combination of Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Salix Alba Bark (a natural source of Salicylic Acid)- ingredients that make for a great skincare routine. Making it a hydrating gel particularly suitable for blemish-prone skins or those wishing to keep blackheads at bay. It’s hydrating, soothing and purifying and in theory, these ingredients should work well for my blemish-prone skin. It is also in a handy airless pump which increases the shelf-life of the serum, in other words, you have got 12mths to use it up. Another PRO- The founder is a lovely caring esthetician with tremendous knowledge and experience.
.
▪️Cons:
My only qualm with this serum is that sometimes it can pill. Jane Scriver did warn me not to be too heavy-handed with the serum and to only apply a small amount. “If left too thick it might just form a masque that pills”. So I did take her advice and applied it thinly and on occasion mixed it with oil which gave me better results but it wasn’t easy to get the hang of this.
.
Getting results
Ultimately I found playing about with it, topping it off with oils quickly after application helped in keeping it in place without it pilling. I also tried to avoid too many layers in my routine. The best bit is that my skin feels comfortably hydrated and the texture is nice bouncy jelly not a runny hyaluronic acid serum plus and it saves me using a separate BHA toner in my routine which ( (so I can skip a Biologie Recherche Iribiol or another Salicylic Acid serum if I have one).
