Dermalogica Smart Response Serum

Most Helpful Positive Review

Added to my permanent skincare routine

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. Tried this out for a few days and I already love it. The smart response serum claims that it helps hydrate, sooth, firm, and brighten your skin. It's supposed to help target your skins concerns and adapt itself with the ingredie...nts inside. I do have pretty sensitive skin and I'm pretty picky when it comes to my skincare routine. I don't like anything with a strong smell, and I don't like anything that makes me feel like my skin is sticky. The ingredients do list that it contains lactic acid, citric aid, and multiple fruit extracts so if these ingredients scare you, I wouldn't reject it but at least still give it a try! The scent itself is alright enough for me and I can stand the fragrance, it's not too strong but not too subtle either. I'm just glad it doesn't smell like something my grandma would use. It leaves a nice cooling feeling when you first rub it into your skin. And many skincare companies do say they can do so and so, but it's never what they say, so I did doubt what this serum can do. The price is not cheap and for me, I want to love the product if I'm going to spend this kind of money on it. The serum comes out like a clearish gel but a bit cloudy, typical of what serum looks like. I put this on after cleansing and toning at night. You can add this to Your daily morning and night skincare. When patting it into the skin, it blends pretty quickly into the skin. I actually tested this without moisturizer to see what works and if it did anything. Wow, my skin in the morning seemed smoother, softer, and brighter. I'm getting older everyday and I am starting to notice more creases under my eyes and near my mouth. I don't look as tired and I look younger?! I have to say, I am most definitely adding this to my daily routine, and adding this product as a permanent product to use. For the perks, I do like it. It does make your face a little red after you put it on, but you can always find another skincare product to target the redness. I wouldn't disregard this product just because it does make your face a bit red. Give it a try, I'm going to keep using it, see how the effects work after a month or 6 months. Also, once you put it on, it does feel a little sticky after, but about 15-20 minutes, the stickiness goes away. Hopefully it makes me look like a young teenage girl again, hahaha.
