For those regulars that are reading this review, you will know already
how important it is to include an exfoliating product either weekly
or bi-weekly into you skincare routine.
It's the key product that ultimately will improve the efficiency of all
the other skincare products that you use.
It's an instantly gratifying product from the first use, as all good
exfoliating type products, whether they be Chemical or Physical
will smooth, brighten and aid the penetration of all products that follow.
I was recently approached by the PR from Laboratoire SVR and asked If
I would like to review one of two of their exfoliating products,
needless to say mention the word "exfoliate" and I'm interested,
so I opted for the
SVR VITAMIN C ANTIOXIDANT FOAM MASK
What appealed to me about this option were the words Foam & Vitamin C,
as I don't think I have ever used a foam peel before and Vitamin C is a tried
and trusted ingredient for brightening and boosting radiance and is always
welcome on my skin.
As I'm using this brand for the 1st time here is some info
About the brand...
Laboratoire SVR
was established in 1962 by visionary French pharamacists – Simone and
Robert Veret.
They started SVR with a single aim in mind – to create ‘beautiful skin’.
What was born was an unrivalled skincare brand when it comes to
effectiveness and tolerance.
This can be attributed to its formulation of leading dermatological
active ingredients, at the highest dosage possible, without affecting
skin tolerance.
SVR is the most concentrated dermatological brand and is 100%
tested on sensitive skins.
Today, SVR is prescribed by dermatologists in 45 countries around the globe,
including South Africa, while remaining true to its
values and its core reason for being – to create beautiful skin.
An authentic, ethical and sincere approach combined with reliability and
outstanding quality has enabled the brand to bring leading skincare products
to the market, for all skin types including the most sensitive
skin.
SVR is suitable for all skin types and addresses issues such:
Delicate / sensitive skin
Oily / acne-prone skin
Pigmentation
Dry skin
Rough skin
Ageing skin
This micro-peeling creamy foam is a cocktail of wonderful active ingredients
to awaken any dull, tired skin and boost the skins radiance.
It contains a high concentration 25% optimised vitamin C,
a powerful ingredient that protects
against aging and illuminates the skin, combined with re-texturizing
and plumping active ingredients.
It exfoliates, smoothes and illuminates the skin’s complexion.
It also includes gluconolactone for gentle retexturizing, smoothing and refining effect; Vitamin B3 and a moisturising complex with high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, to safeguard against damaging the skins barrier function.
I was excited to see that the mask was packaged in an aerosol,
which optimises the efficacy and stabilises the vitamin
C by preventing it from coming into contact with air and light, as this is
so important when dealing with Vitamin C in products.
Vitamin C does have its own distinct smell and so does this mask,
however it is masked (excuse the pun) fairly well by the pleasant
citrus notes.
It's rather fun and different to apply:
Shake and apply the mousse in the palm of your hands, a little note
of warning, its one of those foams that grow and grow, so don't squirt
out too much!
Massage onto a clean face until absorbed (the skin will feel tacky)
Then choose to leave on for 15 minutes then rinse, or remove the excess
with a damp cotton pad and leave the rest on all night.
In the morning, rinse with water.
Apply once to three times a week.
I have so many exfoliating products on the go at any one time and
I use which ever I feel my skin is needing on that specific day, but
I have been reaching for this foaming beauty every time, as it
delivers on all that it claims.
It's quick, pleasurable to use and leaves the skin looking brighter, smoother
and comfortable, which isn't always the case post exfoliation.
Two side notes:
I was a little concerned that the container, only containing 50mls
of product, would finish quickly, but I'm pleased, so far as to how
long it's lasting, considering how many times I've used.
I do exfoliate my hands regularly and use hand cream several times a day
(thanks to coronovirus) but I decided to treat the backs of my hands
to a foamy 15 minutes of pampering
and OMG the difference was amazing in terms of brightness.
If you are looking to change up your exfoliating product, with the
emphasis on radiance then this is one, without doubt, to consider.
I will keep you updated in a Friday Follow Up post as to how long
the can of goodness lasts...
