Moment of Truth

Screen shot 2010-06-24 at 1.17.42 PMHow can you tell if your skincare product is working? If you find yourself destroying the bottle to get every last drop of it's goodness out before tossing it. This little bottle above? Ole Henriksen Truth Serum. One ounce of pure goodness. I can't explain what it does, precisely... but I can assure you that I look better when I'm using it consistently. This week I ran out. No biggie, I assumed. Day 1... no big deal. It's day 7 now and the girl in the mirror isn't nearly as cute as the one I was peeking at last Thursday.

What does it do? It certainly plumps the skin, as advertised. Vitamin C is reported to stimulate collagen and visually improve the skin's texture. It also seems to even out my skin tone and give me a general glow. Add to that it's light, energizing scent (as expected, it smells gently of citrus), natural ingredients and non-sticky texture. It is my absolute favorite facial serum. I'm on bottle 6 and I'm considering seeking a way to buy it in bulk. It's fantastic. Clearly it only works while you're still using it, but it's not nearly as pricey as many of the other half used bottles in my cabinet. For a fraction of the cost, I'm getting beauty in a bottle. I'm addicted to it and can't keep it a secret any longer. You must try it out if your skin is suddenly looking a bit dull.

So... my new little bottle and I would like a few minutes alone. After all, we've missed one another.

What the beautiful people are saying...

who knew the elixir of life would be so reasonably priced? for $48, i may just have to give it a go.

Ran out of my favorite product which costs twice the price of this serum. My daughter who works part time at a cosmetics store in Georgetown, recommended I try this product. I've been using it for 3 weeks now and I am totally hooked!

That's excellent, Roxanne! I've seen it listed year after year as one of those "must have" products. I'm glad I finally caved and tried it. I'm very hard to please with skin care, but this gives quite a bit of bang for the buck!

I will have to give this a try...I use their foaming face wash and LOVE IT!

I am sooooo into this to. Really works wonders! I too am sqeezing the last drops out, but clearly need to pick up more at sephora stat!

Something to say, gorgeous?
