H & B Dead Sea Minerals : Multi Vitamin Mineral serum




So this is my second product in a series of 3 more reviews to come featuring H&B products. This next addition to review is the multi-vitamin serum. A beautifully light and hydrating serum enriched with minerals from the Dead sea. 


Multi-Vitamin serum ;
The revolutionary Multi-Vitamin Mineral Serum covers facial skin with a moisturizing mixture of pure beauty ingredients, containing a rich complex of vitamins which nourish the skin, providing it with a firming effect. The serum contains vitamin A to improve skin elasticity, smooth wrinkles and maintain an even texture; Vitamin E, a major antioxidant in our bodies, which depresses the natural skin aging process by neutralizing free radicals and reducing sun ray damages and Vitamin C, a leading anti-aging factor, which provides the skin with a healthy glow and protects from skin discoloration. This serum is enriched with natural oils, essential fatty acids Omega 3&6 and active Dead Sea minerals. It is highly recommended for usage by women ages 25 and up.



Packaging ;
I think the packaging on this product is very appealing. It looks very high end with the gold and frosted bottle. There is a little too much writing on the bottle, as I think the logo alone with "anti wrinkle serum" embossed would be sufficent. As all the product information is on the box which would suffice for me. However that's a personal preference, with the "less is more concept ". I like this bottle and feel this is a big improvement to the hand creams packaging. 


Results and texture ;
So firstly the texture of the serum is a gel based formula which is dispensed via pump. It's deceiving so don't multi-pump thinking you will need a lot, as this gel liquifies down. It becomes a very aquaous feeling serum and absorbs into the skin well after a little time. Hence why I advise only a pump is needed or waste will occur. I could easily use one pump for my face and the liquid feeling actually encouraged me to massage my face in the evening. This is good for stimulating good circulation, with massaging up to gain more plumping effect. It's very hydrating and over time it maybe beneficial with these factors being accounted for. Plus in cold months it can be good to have a high content hydration product, I can also see this being a great summer product for the same reason. The heat can cause skin damage and this serum would be excellent as an after sun repair. Helps to rehydrate all year round and maintain healthy skin with the minerals. 

I've enjoyed this serum and seen that this gel formula works for me, as I need hydration. Also I find that its great being that you don't need a lot of serum either, so it's great that you can be sure it will last you too. Overall I'm really happy and would repurchase this serum, as I would be interested to see how my skin fairs this year then to past years.

Marine beauty care is a service in Hertfordshire that offers innovative treatments using peptides and hydolynic acids in its skincare to offer the best in anti-ageing and skin health.

So what they do and the ethos of marine beauty care is

Calcium Repair Cream

Packaged in a lovely glass jar and protected with an inside cover to keep all the active ingredients fresh.
So the calcium repair cream with SPF is a really lovely cream that absorbs into the skin really nicely, it contains repair qualities for the skin in helping to maintain and help revitalise the skin. Using a mixture of marine biology which i know has a variety of qualities from helping dry skin and with the salts to help in the reguvinatation and restoration of skin, also most mud masks have derivatives of marine biology so these creams are an exciting to harness those properties. I was excited to trial these.



I really enjoyed using this cream as it doesn't feel to heavy on the skin and aids to my night routine just nicely. I was happy that it did hydrate my skin and help my little dry patches quite nicely so it is defiantly hydrating. I haven't noticed to much difference to my pores or any other change in the redness that i have had but it may take time to notice those sorts of changes.
I do feel like my skin is plumper and a lot more radiant in that its not as dull looking, so the constant routine is defiantly helping. Its very hard to say whilst reviewing creams which I've come to notice is the benefits overall. As one may use something for a time notice some changes then come to a standstill and not notice anything else. So il will finish the jar which is nearly up and then i can see more if stopping its use will have any adverse change or if it will just be that its all it could do to my particular skin. Not a bad judgement just an honest one of what to realistically expect in a cream.

So then we move on to the Filler serum which again works with properties consistent to maintaining healthily and firm skin. Consistent with being a powerful anti ageing serum, it was made by dermatologists and therapists as an alternative to Botox. It contains 3 strong ingredients to assist in anti- ageing and they include the Marine collagen, hyaluronic filler and Oligopeptides.
Now in using this serum i can see why its been compared to the alternative to botox, it has settled lines I've had and also miniature fine lines I've had coming up for a while. 
I would encourage women to start using moisturiser and preventive measures against the signs of ageing, as once you start to encourage the skin to repair and also maintain itself then the battle is a lot less painful as you get older. Now I'm all one for growing old gracefully but if i can have a few more years of having a firm and flat canvas to work with i will be a happy and content woman.

Hyaluronic Filler Serum


So overall my review of the Products available for home use are that they are professionally packaged and for a while yes have worked on some areas ive noticed. Some fine lines have diminished some what and my skin is in better condition in that sense. However i haven't noticed any radical changes but i am one person to review only and it may work for others. I just goes to show which ever skin system you  chose to use that you should start soon and using one with certain ingredients that suit the nature of your skin problem plus ones that have anti- ageing properties. 

So if your looking to treat yourself to a facial or some sort of pampering why not give the women at the Marine beauty care a try. The products are lovely and feel amazing.
