Thank you to influencer Awards beauty bundle..... Cannot recall what month they featured the brand Naturium whereby they offered 6 products from Naturium for a price of USD38.
I always wanted to get onboard with this brand and was mostly interested in the Niacinamide serum as this is something I use daily but unwilling to pay the full price for an untested brand. The AIA bundle had the products I wanted to buy with a few added extras for a low price. Great idea! I went for it.
I love the packaging of the products. Slick and kind of luxe. Its something you want on your vanity.
The box came with the 6 products shown here.
Let's review each and I will provide the individual price point.
The Nacinamide cleansing gelee goes for a USD18. High but not to an excessive point.The bottle is quite bag so getting good value for money. It will last you for a good while.
Given the Niacinamide in it, cleanser should help with dark spots but more interested in the brand claims that, it can clean off makeup, oils and impurities. Yeah no! It does not fulfil even one of those claims. The packaging is also not durable.
You can see from the picture above, the nozzle broke off on my 2nd time using this product so resorted to taking off the cap to dispense the product. Even with that, this does not take off anything. Not impurities, daily grim, much less makeup. After 3 weeks of using this and getting a dirty cotton pad during my toner usage, I gave up. You can better off rinsing your face with water and moving on. This went straight in the bin. It literally does not work.
The Nacinamide serum sells for USD16. This is an example of reading the label prior to purchase. I did not. Hence my fault. This has a concentration of 12% Nacinamide. As a rule, I stick between 2% to 10% . This ensure I can use daily without any adverse reaction.
My face reacted to this when I attempted daily use. I was going to throw this out but decided to try spacing out my usage. Every 2 to 3 days and that worked for me. It did sting the 1st few times I tried the product. Thereafter it was ok. This is not something I will be using again.
Vitamin C Complex sells for USD20. I use Vitamin C as part of my skincare regime. This brightens my face even during dry seasons or winter as the case may be. This worked for me and quite similar to other Vitamin C from Beauty pie etc. This is a great product. Easy to put on, layers well with other products and makeup. It absorbs easily and just all round fantastic! Not so much bothered about the price as a little goes a long way and a bottle will last you a while.
If the pricing is an issue, there are other brands that provide similar products at lower prices. Inkey list, the ordinary vitamin C goes for less than half the price.
Photo glow lip balm sells for USD10. Save yourself. No one on earth needs this. Cheaper and better are available at the drug store for 1/5 of the price. This goes on easily, stays on your lips, does not readily absorb so if your lip is dry to begin with, it remains dry after the vanishing act with occurs about 30 mins in. If you have a drink, it disappears earlier. This is a case of the vanishing lip balm. Avoid!
BHA Liquid exfoliant sells for USD18. This product is annoying. You can get liquid exfoliant from any brand and it will be cheaper. On the other hand, this stung the first few uses hen my face got used to it.
Its an ok product and I am on the fence about this one because you can get higher ml for cheaper.
Multi peptide mosituriser sells for USD19. This should target and reduce fine lines and wrinkles and make you look younger. Sigh! This did no such thing. This barely offers you sufficient hydration. Positive point is, it does layer well on top of serums and treatments but does not layer well under face oil.
The products I tested from this brand has been all over the place. Being more selective with your choices from this brand as well as reading the labels prior to purchase will ensure you make better choices which should be a requirement.
Price point? You are overpaying for what you re getting and that is my opinion. If you have used this brand, what was your favourite product?
See you on the next post.....
I was going to say I love the luxe look of these items ( especially all that’s contained in the Cleansing Gelee) and attracted to it for the fact that it seems to have everything one might need as a complete set which I do fancy as it means you just purchase a pack each time and can be sure there will be no cross reaction since all products are from same brand so hopefully would complement each other nicely . However your review of the cleansing gelee has put me right off as that’s perhaps the most important first process and if that’s not doing it’s job well then … Nice write up again- your style of writing ju…
