The serum may only just have launched but it already has big fans within the beauty community. “Previously, I was dealing with breakouts and acne but now I’ve passed that, my next goal was reducing discolouration and just generally brightening my skin,” says celebrity makeup artist and skin expert Nikki DeRoest. “I love that the serum can treat my pigmentation but also means I’m not stripping my skin and that it is still hydrated and healing.” DeRoest saw a difference within a matter of weeks. “After a week I thought I was seeing things but as I kept using it I could see it was truly brightening those spots,” she says. “Now I use it every morning and night. I’m obsessed.” After trying out the serum for the first time myself, I understood the obsession straight away. The serum has a lightweight but luxurious texture, it feels super soothing, and it doesn’t trigger any redness or sensitivity in the slightest. What’s more, because the skin is water-based, it gives skin an instant dewy glow.
Plus, Travis has ensured the serum can be used alongside other active ingredients without causing irritation. “You can use it on its own but you can also mix it,” he says. “For example with a vitamin C serum, or at night with a retinoid or acid-based serum.”
Like DeRoest, I noticed a difference in my skin within a week of using the serum. First to my overall skin tone, which appears brighter and fresher, and then to my pigmentation—a recent spot that had left a red mark faded to nothing within just a couple of days. I’m confident that I’m now on the final countdown to makeup-free days ahead, so I can’t wait to see what the results are like after a few months of use. Yes, it is an investment, but for me, it is well worth it.
