I only bought the Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum because a trusted friend who'd been part of a consumer pre-launch trial recommended it to me (and gave me a money off code for it too). This serum has the most probiotics of any product in the range, together with a hyaluronic acid complex and peptides. Like the rest of the Nude range, it's free of parabens, silicons, mineral oil, propylene glycol et al.
I didn't notice a huge difference in the condition of my skin initially as I was already using good quality skincare. Now, having used the Nude Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum for about a month, I would say that my skin is very well-behaved with this serum with no odd spottiness or blotchiness. My skintone is clear and my complexion looks quite fresh and bright even when I'm not feeling that way myself. I don't have any slackening issues so I can't judge it on that, and I wouldn't say it makes my skin look dramatically younger, but it does make it look good.
The serum is a light milky texture, and it sinks in to the skin quickly with no stickiness. Fragrance is listed as an ingredient, but it just has a clean smell to my nose.

Thanks for the review Grace, I think I will get this. When you say about some of the range can sensitise the skin to sunlight what ingredients cause this as I just bought one of their hydrating waters recently ?
ReplyDeleteHi Replica - you're fine with the Hydrating Water. It's the BHA in the Clarifying Water and the AHA in the Miracle Mask that can cause photo-sensitivity.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that that some of the range has photo-sensitising ingredients but no SPF in the range, always irritates me too. Glad this is working for you, I have been disappointed with the range on the whole, found the everything other than the cleansing oil to be far too drying for my skin. And don't get me started on the eye cream. Thanks for this. Jan x
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, I think I need to get more knowledgeable about ingredients as I only tend to take note of ones that make me break out.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace
ReplyDeleteGreat review
I was bowled over by the massive PR on this product; you seemed to see it in every magazine you looked. In fairness however I did already like Nude, especially their Cleansing oil, Smoothing complex and my absolute fav which I sometimes wear as a moisturiser on cold Wintery days, the Intense Moisture Mask.
Personally I like this serum, my skin looks better without make up now. Can't say fairer than that. It is less blotchy and feels generally softer.
Looking at your review though, I pile on far too much....story of my life :(
I'm really interested to read your review. I have already read a few raves but I'm with you, I'm not keen on Nude skincare generally. I disliked the moisturiser I tried so much that I had to wash it off! It's rather put me off trying more of the range. I have to admit, I'm rather baffled by the addition of probiotics in skincare. I feel some investigating coming on! *Grabs labcoat*
ReplyDeleteMy cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteI love this serum and most of the range!
ReplyDeleteI love this serum too and their new mousturiser although I wish it would come in a pump rather than a jar to keep the ingredients more stable.
ReplyDeleteHi - me too, I'd much rather buy a moisturiser or serum in a sealed container. The pipette dispensers are very fashionable at the moment, but they aren't my favourite.
