KORRES

 Santorini Grape Velvet Skin Drink

I have dry skin that tends to be sensitive towards harsh ingredients/Parfums. I apply this product after my evening skincare routine. My skin truly does drink it up. I've been using it for nearly 3 months and have seen improvements in texture and overall redness reduced. It does have a smell that I would relate to a wine like scent. But it dissipates quickly.

I got this in my boxy charm and it's amazing! I use this at night after my shower and wake up glowing!! I also use this before my bare minerals tinted moisturizer and it doesn't separate or peel it's literally my favorite moisturizing serum. I've tried so many moisturizers like tarte, caudalie, molin+goetz,and many more but this really soaks in and I don't have to worry about peeling!!

It says to avoid eye area and they mean it. I've tried this at least a dozen times, each time keeping it farther and farther from my eyes, I wash it off my hands before applying Moisturizer around my eyes . I'm very careful and every time my eyes burn and water all night! I'm finally giving up on it. Also it just does not feel good nor moisturizing, just greasy and sits on top of your face for hours. I'm sad to say it's one of the worst products I've received personally.

Definitely gives a 'glow'! 1 drop is literally all that I need, as any more than that and my skin starts to look oily. I love the sleek green packaging and dropper, although I'm not sure it does a great job at protecting the serum from sunlight/UV, so I tend to keep it hidden behind some of my other products, where the sunlight can't reach. The bottle itself appears deceptively larger than a normal 1oz (30ml) bottle, but if you look closely, you realize it has a 'false' bottom which takes up almost the entire lower half of the bottle space. Not exactly sure why a normal 1 oz bottle wouldn't have sufficed instead? As this contains a good amount of antioxidants, I feel it's important they be protected, and that's one thing that could be improved with the packaging. Speaking of antioxidants, it's the main reason I purchased this product, and I have noticed a difference whilst I've been using it in terms of skin being more supple and brighter (antioxidants effect being more of a long-term use benefit). The only downside to this serum is the fact that it contains drying 'alcohol denat' which isn't beneficial in the long run. I have no idea how much is in here, but without that and the Grapefruit-like fragrance, this would have been a perfect product. I'll continue to use it, but keeping these two points in mind, I likely won't be repurchasing as alcohol and fragrance are two things I try to avoid in skincare. -> My 'Ulta Beauty Top 7 must-have list' (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Ulta) < - < 1.

I have struggled with acne, redness, texture, and in general skin irritation my ENTIRE life and truly nothing has made as impactful of a difference on my skin than this product… and I've tried almost everything under the sun. I was hesitant because of the price tag ($$) but I'm so incredibly glad I tried it. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat, even at full price! It helped reduce inflammation & calmed irritation, it helped tame my acne breakouts, it helped keep my skin form drying out, it helped my skin feel hydrated and soft and supple. I feel like my skin tone is more evened out & my overall redness has been reduced since using it. My skin has honestly never been softer or less irritated or feel THIS smooth and untextured. And I'm just amazed at how well it tackles acne breakouts, since it doesn't really advertise for that. It doesn't leave an "oily" look or shine to my face either. Just soaks into my skin perfectly! HIGHLY highly recommend - yes, you need it!
