Ahava

 Crystal Osmoter X6 Facial Serum

I could be imagining it, but my skin looks amazing using this serum. I just turned 35, have dry skin that needs some TLC for gentle signs of aging coming on. I use it at night because it's a luxurious oil (and a bit too much for mornings under makeup), and I swear the deep wrinkles in my forehead (those frown lines between the eyebrows) and around my eyes are transformed. This is not a cheap serum, so it's hard to stomach the cost, but I genuinely cannot imagine my life without it anymore.

I typically have dry skin. I'm 44. I also have sensitive skin that has been very dry due to experimenting with various skin care, plus it's winter. There are so many harsh products out there that left my face flaky, blotchy, and pitted with dryness. I tried Ahava's hydration mask and loved it, so I started researching their products. Very impressive, so I decided to try this. Within a week my skin started changing for the better. The flaky patches are gone. My blotchy redness has faded. My make up goes on smoothly. MY SKIN LOOKS GOOD! I use it morning and night on my face, under my eyes, neck, and chest, if there's any left I use it on the back of my hands. This stuff really works to hydrate, even, brighten, and heal my skin, in fact, after 3 weeks my skin is in the best shape it had been in a very long time. I do use a moisturizer with sunscreen and a heavier cream at night, but the serum is the only new product I'm using so I know it's working. Plus, there are no weird chemicals, and I love that! I will absolutely purchase this in the future, along with other products from this company because the products work! (I also now use their hand cream and brightening mask in the bright pink tub. Awesome!)

I have a large wardrobe of serums that I cycle through and always use 3-4 serums at a time (based on thinnest to thickest). At first I did not like this. It comes out very oily. I put it on my face and thought "Um- there's nooo way I can use this!". But give it time to absorb. It has Jojoba oil and Vitamin E oil in it so of course it is going to be a heavier oil. But it "DOES" all absorb. I put some on the back of my hand before I logged-on to Ulta to write this review- and it is now totally absorbed and all gone and my hand is VERY soft!!! I love everything that I have tried from the AHAVA line so far!!!

I absolutely love the Ahava!!! Hands-down the best facial serum I've ever used. My skin is smoother it looks healthy it has a nice glow, it smells nice. However I have two problems my first one is the box that it's packaged and is so flimsy and thin! They don't even tape of the box closed. The last two times I've had it shipped to me it's slid out of the box and opened everywhere. Ulta has been amazing and replacing it. I have to say that! Sadly I'm going to have to buy it at the store because it ships horribly. The closest store is 2 hours away for me. So if you're ordering this online...know it might not come in very good condition. I don't think it ships well in high-altitude and also high heat! My second problem is the dropper does not go all the way down to the bottom so I have to tip the bottle upside down to get the little last bit out. Which is not a big deal to me but it's a little annoying sometimes. I deal with it because...The product is that good and makes my skin absolutely beautiful and it does great in the dry weather. The only reason I gave it four stars is for the two downfalls.

I have sort of sensitive dry skin, I use this morning and night paired with my Clinique 72hr moisture surge hydrator. I've been using this oil for more than a year now and it has tremendously helped my skin and makeup application. I hope they never get rid of it.
