This High-Tech Serum Transformed My Skin in 30 Days

It’s not often that, upon meeting an aesthetician for the very first time, they excitedly tell you all about a new serum they’re obsessed with and highly recommend you use. It’s less often that the serum in question is unsponsored and unaffiliated with the aesthetician. It’s even less often that you’re told “all the other aestheticians” at the clinic are obsessed with it too. I think the direct quote was, “Seriously, you need to try it.”

That’s what happened when I went to get a facial recently. My skin, which is prone to redness, irritation, and dehydration, was acting up, and I was hoping the facial would right some of the wrongs. It did, but the experience also introduced me to a high-tech serum that totally transformed my skin in 30 days flat. That’s not an exaggeration. It soothed redness, smoothed texture, calmed irritation, and even plumped my skin. Ahead, see the serum (or should I say serums?) in question. Plus, see some pretty epic before and after pictures to prove it really works.

As you can see, my skin was red and irritated with lots of discoloration.

This picture was taken exactly 30 days later. I’m not wearing makeup, and I have no filter on my camera. I mean, these results are so dramatic I’m almost shocked.

Save for the small breakout on my forehead, my skin has dramatically improved.
