BIOEFFECT EGF Day Serum

BioEffect is one of those brands which excites and intrigues me and to date I have only used two products from the range, the first being the Volcanic Exfoliator and the second being the EGF Day Serum.  BioEffect has an amazing brand story which you can find here and it is one that allows the science to do its magic without being complicated.

BIOEFFECT EGF Day Serum is an advanced anti-ageing serum specially formulated for daytime use and it is one of those products that I have loved using from the very first try.  Designed to restore the skin's moisture balance, it works to smooth the texture of your skin and it works exceptionally well as a makeup base to point that any dry skin you might have on your face doesn't grab your foundation and cling to it.

Also said to promote denser and firmer skin, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and enlarged pores, EGF DAY SERUM delivers multiple anti-ageing benefits. It is enriched with that is referred to as BioEffects innovative key ingredient known as EGF or Epidermal Growth Factor, something I read quite a lot about before using the serum. EGF is a substance which occurs naturally in human skin and it has the ability to increase the rate of cell turnover. However, as we age, the skin slows down its natural production of EGF and begins to lose firmess and elasticity and then when fine lines appear and your skin begins to luck duller. Add to that, again as we age the production of collagen and elastin within the skin's dermal layer also dwindles and as your skin becomes thinner with age, along come the wrinkles. So, using this serum, it is said to be possible to stimulate the natural process of cell renewal and minimise the visible effect of skin ageing.

The serum is suitable for all skin types and it is a really soft gel like formula which you apply after your morning cleanse and before your moisturiser and then it is to be applied to your face and neck. Using the pump action bottle, one pump gives more than enough to complete the task. As soon as it comes into contact with the skin, it immediately absorbs on contact leaving no trace behind, but it does leave your skin feeling so incredibly smooth to the touch. There is no smell to the serum and there is no greasiness or tacky feeling.

What I absolutely love about the serum is how it feels on the skin. I find it to be soothing and smoothing and whilst I am yet to have fine lines and wrinkles, what I do find with this serum is that the hydration and moisturisation levels are amazing not to mention the great makeup base it makes, I almost don't add a primer it is that good. As for my complexion, well I have seen my pores shrink but not disappear and the dryness on one cheek has totally gone for the first time in months and my forehead is a lot less oily mid-afternoon than usual.  So for me, this serum has certainly mad a huge difference to my skin and it causes no irritations or reactions.

Now it is on the pricey side at £110 but it is a magnificent product and one I would definitely consider purchasing.
