Cetaphil Healthy Renew Purified Peptides Face Serum

Most Helpful Critical Review

Leaves face slightly sticky

I received those wonderful line of skincare to review from Cetaphil and Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. Okay, so I had no idea how good peptides were for my skin. Peptides aid in the production of collagen and elastin. So using them topically in your skincare routine could help with a... number of things, including firmer skin, younger looking skin, and possibly less breakouts. Having rosacea, I am picky with my skincare and Cetaphil is a brand that I trust. So I was excited to try their healthy renew purified peptide infused line. I also have quite a lot of texture on my face from old acne scarring. I received a facial serum, an eye serum, a day moisturizer, and also a nighttime moisturizer. I wanted to use them for four weeks before writing a review, but I only had the chance to use them for a little over three. The Face Serum: The face serum comes in an airless pump. It is nice and lightweight. It absorbed quickly. It did not pill with any other of my skincare items. I really enjoyed it, and I was starting to see results, but I stopped using it because it kinda left a tacky texture on my face. I did see results (firmer skin and a more youthful appearance), but I couldn't get over how it made my skin feel after using it (and even hours after). The Eye Serum: This is one of my favorites in the line. The texture is lightweight and absorbed quickly. A little goes a long way. It absolutely does make my eyes look less tired and less puffy. I did not see a major improvement in the overall texture of my eye area, but it did make my eyes look younger and better. There was slight improvement in my itty bitty crows feet. I definitely feel like this eye serum will prevent them from getting any worse. This is one that I will definitely repurchase after using up! The Day Cream: Nothing majorly special here. It's a wonderful daily moisturizer with 30 spf. Absorbs nicely. Doesn't pill. It is similar to most of their other daily moisturizers with spf. The Night Cream: This is my second favorite next to the eye serum gel. This night cream is wonderful. It is a THICK night cream. So, if you enjoy a lighter kind of cream at bedtime, maybe skip this one. I happen to love a thick, rich, luxurious feeling night cream before I go to bed, and this is it. This is the one. In the morning, my skin looks and feels hydrated and more youthful. I stopped using it only because I am saving it for winter time. Over all, I did enjoy the line. While I did not see a major improvement in my textured skin, I feel like my face was younger looking and was more firm. All of the products are wonderful if you happen to mess up your skin barrier.
