『Review』Skinfood: Black Sugar Perfect First Serum

Hello lovelies!

I apologize for my inactiveness over the past week. Last week was hectic with exam review and quarter grades being finalized. My mom also had a heart attack and was hospitalized. :'< She just got released today, but I still worry.

But anyways, onto today's review!

I got this in a little shop in New York that happened to be having a Skinfood sale. It was quite a good price for the full sized bottle, but I didn't receive any of the special whips they offered online. I bought it for 19.99 USD.

Claims

Sorry for the blurriness. It was cloudy on the day I took this. ;v;

A first serum that provides exfoliating, brightening, wrinkle-soothing and hydrating benefits in a single formula. Use daily for smooth, soft skin.

Active Ingredient 

• Black Sugar - Darker and healthier then brown sugar. It is also a natural exfoliator and moisturizer, which seems to match it's claims. By the gentle exfoliation, it's great for removing dead and scar skill cells.

Texture

Just like water, clear and runny! I was surprised at how it managed to actually absorb onto my face; I was just expecting it to cleanse it. It was slightly sticky after use, but nothing I minded. Quite an amount was required to cover my whole face, I've recently started to only use it on my t-zone and forehead.

Smell

Definitely doesn't smell like black sugar. We use it a lot for various asian recipes in replacement of processed sugar. It kinda smells like diluted artificial vanilla with an undertone of alcohol. However, it's not bad; it's very subtle. It's a rather nice smell for my morning routine. 

Final Thoughts

Thank you Skinfood for making this product! I don't think my face has even been more brighter and healthier than it is now. I've also noticed that my acne scars have faded a bit. Plus, my skin has gotten extremely soft and smooth, all my friends have been touching it. My BBCream also fits my skin better now! The grey undertone I once had has receded exceptionally, hopefully to be extinguished with time and use. *^*

Pros

• Fades acne scars
• Brightens complexion
• Removes grey undertone after continuous usage
• Smells nice
• Removes dirt and moisturizes

Cons

• Quite pricy
• A bit sticky after application

Would I Repurchase?

As of right now, my thoughts are no. There are so many more serums out there for me to try, plus the regular price for this one is just too expensive. I doubt I'll be able to find another deal for this in the future. If I did, however, I would grab it in a heartbeat. 

Final Score: 9.5/10

Thank you so much for reading guys! <3
I'm going to go and study for exams now, sighs-

I'm prepared and all, just super scared cause these are going to be my first high school exams. ;A;
