Biovène Barcelona Skincare Review
I was kindly sent four products from the range to try and better still, you can find Biovène Barcelona on the high street in Morrisons.

Starting with the Vitamin C Day Boost. Described as being an age-defying moisturiser which combines the brightening power of vitamin C with the nourishing benefits of organic mango to instantly hydrate and illuminate your skin. 

Star Ingredients:
  • Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant that brightens skin and reduces visible signs of aging for a vibrant, youthful look.
  • Mango: Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, it boosts collagen production and protects against skin damage.
  • Orange: Rich in vitamin C, it helps maintain a firm, plump, and youthful appearance while reducing signs of ageing.
I love a bit of Vitamin C in my routine and I have really loved using this cream, it is moisturising and does hydrate the skin and better still, if you have wanted to try a Vitamin C Cream to add to your routine, this is a great place to start.

Up next we have the Hydra-Power Nourish Intense 20% HA + Organic Blueberry Eye Concentrate Roll-On.  This is described as having a revolutionary formula designed to ultra-hydrate the delicate eye contour. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and organic blueberry, it addresses puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles for a refreshed and youthful appearance.

Star Ingredients:
  • Hyaluronic Acid: A moisture-binding powerhouse that holds up to 1000x its weight in water, hydrating the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Aloe Vera: Known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, it retains moisture and forms a protective layer on the skin.
  • Wild Blueberry: Packed with anthocyanins, a compound that supports collagen production. Blueberries help slow collagen breakdown and boost its synthesis, promoting firm and healthy skin.
I love a good eye roll-on especially when there is a metal roller-ball involved because it is immediately cooing and soothing on the skin and does help with the de-puffing.

The third offering is the 10% Hyaluronic + Vitamin B5 Complex Facial Serum. This hydrating powerhouse blends hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin B5 to transform dull, tired skin into a dewy, revitalised, and radiant complexion.

Star Ingredients
  • 10% Hyaluronic Acid: Each molecule binds up to 1000 times its weight in water, delivering optimal hydration and plumping for a restored skin structure.
  • Aloe Vera: With cooling, anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera locks in moisture, promotes healing, and provides rich antioxidants for healthier skin.
  • Vitamin B5 Complex: This nourishing complex replenishes lost radiance in dry, flaky, or tight skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
Now this is possibly my favourite product within this range.  I love how rich the cream is but it absorbs really quickly with minimal effort and as my skin loves Hyaluronic Acid, it was always going to be a favourite.

Finally we have the Anti-Ageing 1% Retinol + Squalane Complex Facial Serum.  For anyone who wants to try adding a Retinol into their routine, this is a gentle version to try as it is just 1%.  Retinol is perfect for those who want to target the loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation but it can also be used for blemishes.

Described as being a potent formula, it combines two powerhouse ingredients—retinol and squalane—to tackle all signs of aging, including loss of elasticity, wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, while also supporting blemish-prone skin.

Star Ingredients
  • Retinol: Renowned for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, boosting collagen, minimizing breakouts, evening skin tone, and brightening dark spots for a radiant, youthful look.
  • Squalane: A natural hydrator found in skin that combats dryness, especially when paired with retinol, ensuring skin stays moisturised and balanced.
For a brand that is sold on the high-street, with prices starting around £1.95 you can get an entire skincare routine for around £10 which is really quite amazing.
