I decided to try the Primark Anti-ageing serum and the uplifting eye gel (both under £5!) and I have been using them for a month now so wanted to let you know how I feel about them.
Beauty products from Primark are impressing me so much. First it was the Primer Water and then the BB cream.
Anti-ageing serum
Packaging
Sleek, white with silver print. Plastic packaging with a nice pump. (For serums I really prefer pumps).
Application
Use a pump or two of product following cleansing and prior to moisturising all over the face an neck.
Texture
A lovely light gel texture which feels really cool on the skin. It reminds me of most of my other serums.
Scent
This is not fragranced at all (that I can tell) and I know lots if people prefer non-scented or lightly scented products.
Results
It’s a lovely serum, does it reduce wrinkles? No. Is it really anti-ageing? not really but it is nice. It doesn’t break me out and it works nicely under my moisturiser.
It’s cheap enough to repurchase but I would like to try others before doing so as yes, it was good, but was it life changing enough? not really.
Uplifting eye-gel
Packaging
Again white with silver print but this is a squeezy tube but has a metal roller ball for application.
Application
Using the roller ball lightly roll under the eyes. If any excess product gently pat for absorption.
Texture
A watery gel texture but it isn’t easy to tell due to the tube being opaque and the rollerball being in the way. It is light so you can barely feel it on your face.
Scent
There is no scent to this product, not sure why you would put a scent in an eye product to be honest. What would it add?
Results
This doesn’t do anything but help to cool your under eyes. The roller ball is so cold it is like popping a spoon on your eyes. This is great if you want to wake your under eyes up but honestly I can’t see any benefits. Having said that it is lovely and I will finish it but repurchase? Probably not.
So as you can see I am quite impressed with this – not blown over like some of the others but definitely good for the price.
Have you tried any of these?
Would you try Primark skincare?
