Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum Review


After loving Valentia as a brand and loving their True Glow Eye Cream and Hydration Mask I was so excited when they sent me their Royal Rose Hydrating Serum to try!









A little about the product:

"A lightweight serum that boosts moisture and resilience while soothing and calming the skin."

This Hydrating & Nourishing Serum Will:
- Deeply moisturize skin
- Provide antioxidant protection
- Soothe & nourish dry skin
- Smooth skin tone & texture
- Boost skin radiance

They have great ingredients in this serum that work together to get you optimum results: 

  • Rose Damascena: One of the most nourishing and skin friendly natural oils, providing balance, moisture, and a variety of vitamins and minerals to the skin. (plus is it smells so nice)
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B): This potent vitamin has been clinically proven to fade away hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne..
  • Rosehip Seed Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamins C & A, these essential fatty acids work quickly to lock in skin's moisture.
  • Evening Primrose Oil: Provides light, non-oily moisture to the skin, never clogging or irritating the skin.
  • Bearberry: Reduces melanin production, thereby lightening the skin, revealing a brighter complexion.
  • Lavender: Heals the skin, treating pimples, wounds, and sores.

My review:

I have been loving serums lately, I use at least 3 different ones a day, and this Royal Rose Hydrating Serum has become a part of my night routine! It really is hydrating, just like the name says. 

When you apply it, it feels like a burst of water of your face, it feels nourishing and makes your skin feel moisturized and super smooth.

I like that it absorbs fast but leaves skin dewy and refreshed! Great step prior to applying your moisturizer because its like double the hydration.

If you are looking for a new serum or are new to serums and want to try one out, definitely opt for the Royal Rose Hydrating Serum. Its good for all skin types, even sensitive skin, it nourishes skin and smells nice!  I promise there is no over powering rose scent, it's just right :)

OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel Review

You've heard me rave about OZ Naturals in a previous post, about how I love their cleanser- and yes I am still in love with it! When I was given the chance to try another one of their products, I was so so excited!



I don't want to get too deep into OZ Naturals (check my previous post) but I definitely want to stress that this company is cruelty free and vegan!

This time I received an eye cream - well an eye GEL. The Super Youth Eye Gel. It is 75% organic and 100% natural.

The packaging was simple and cute, just like the cleanser, but this color blue was more of a grey toned blue, almost like a lavender and very pretty. The product packaging itself is cute, a nice chunky little pump bottle that contains 0.5 fl oz.

The ingredients are awesome; it contains plant stem cells, matrixyl 3000 (one of their trademarked ingredients), peptide complex, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and many many more! All these ingredients are so beneficial in aiding with anti-aging. Plus it's non comedogenic, which means it doesn't clog pores!

The Super Youth Eye Gel claims to be effective in anti aging and is "designed to treat every major eye concern & is hands down the best eye gel for dark circles, puffiness & wrinkles."

Now on to the product review:

The texture of it is a gel (obviously) which is different from most eye products, I usually see creams but never gels, so I liked that. When applied it has a cooling effect which feels nice on the eye area because my under eyes are super thin and sometimes dry. So I really enjoyed the consistency, feel and sensation of it!

It is very cooling and super hydrating, but unfortunately I haven't seen any differences with the fine lines that I have. I may not be the best person to critique this because I don't have dark circles or puffiness under my eyes, so I cannot say anything about that. It hasn't blown me away as an eye cream; it's nothing different in my opinion. I have been using it daily and I do love that its a cooling gel with awesome ingredients that also wears well under makeup, but I really cannot give my opinion on whether it helps dark circles/puffiness!! BUT, I will give it to my mother to try for her puffiness and write out her thoughts on it below!

My mother really ended up loving this eye gel and she said it helped with the puffiness under her eyes! So YES, it works!

If you're looking for an all natural, cruelty free, GEL eye cream, look no further! You can purchase OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel here on Amazon
