Mario Badescu Super Peptide Serum with Advanced Peptide Complex

Most Helpful Critical Review

Okay, but not as great as the vitamin C serum.

I use the Mario Badescu vitamin C serum and the rose hips nourishing oil for my daily routines on my face and neck. The vitamin C serum is the most superior product, in my opinion. After seeing the peptide serum with the different matte glass bottle and thick consistency, I thought I would give it a... try. I don't mind consistency as long as the product works well. I don't like that the dropper doesn't work with this serum, due to the thick consistency. I don't like that the serum feels wet and slimy on my face and neck despite massaging it into my skin. After it dries, it still feels a bit sticky for a while, and I don't feel that it absorbs well into my skin or nourishes it. With that, I don't observe it making any difference or improvement to my skin appearance or texture overall or even just on a daily basis when used. With the product being as pricey as it is, I would prefer for the dropper to work and the product to noticeably improve aspects of my skin. I have wrinkles and fine lines from smiling and raising my eyebrows a lot. I haven't seen any difference, and I certainly haven't felt a difference to my skin texture. If I use the serum at night and wait a couple of hours, it is no longer sticky, and my face does feel smooth at that time. But using it in the morning hinders my routine for applying makeup within the same hour, and it doesn't leave my face feeling soft or nourished at all during the day. I now only use this serum at night before bed. It would still be decent for those who have not or cannot use the vitamin C serum. I will say, the peptide serum does not have a smell, so I can see that being beneficial to buyers who can't tolerate mild scents with their facial products. I will use this until I run out, but I will continue to purchase the vitamin C serum over this peptide serum in the future.
