Review: Korres Skincare Wild Rose Collection*

A couple of posts back, I’ve spoken to you about a wonderful event I attended which introduced us to Korres Skincare and their Wild Rose Collection (click here to read it, if you haven’t yet). After we were given a detailed introduction by the lovely brand manager of Korres Malta, Stephanie, we were all super intrigued and thus, couldn’t wait to put the products to the test.

I’ve been testing out these products for a couple of months now, and I have to say, they do not disappoint!

Step 1: Korres Wild Rose Foaming Cream Cleanser

This luxurious foaming cream cleanser enriched with Wild Rose oil is such a treat to the skin. I use it as the second step to my double cleansing routine as I find that when using it, my skin doesn’t feel tight or dried out but rather hydrated and soft. I apply it by first wetting my face and then rubbing it in gently in circles to make it lather –a little bit goes a long way so the bottle will last me quite a while. As soon as I pat my face dry with a towel, my skin is noticeably brighter, fresher and cleaner.

Step 2: Korres Wild Rose 15% Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Bi-Phase Booster

Vitamin C is a key ingredient to reducing skin inflammation and irregular pigmentation/acne scars as well as being an important ingredient for collagen production. The Korres Wild Rose 15% Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Bi-Phase Booster is a potent serum which helps your skin look brighter, smoother and generally younger.

I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to use this product in the morning because as a bi-phase product, it contains oil and I was expecting to look like a greasy mess – but I was wrong. As soon as I tested it out, I noticed that it gives my skin a luminous glow, especially when I don’t wear any makeup as on its own it makes me look bright and fresh – and the scent is just divine. Within the first week of incorporating it in my skincare routine, I have noticed that when I have a bout of hormonal breakouts, the marks they leave behind are lighter than when I didn’t use the serum – so I definitely recommend it to everyone, but especially to those who suffer from acne-prone skin. 

I apply it both morning and night after I cleanse my face, on dry skin and wait for it to be absorbed into my skin before I apply the next step.

Step 3: Korres Wild Rose Brightening & First Wrinkles Day Cream (Oily to Combination Skin)

As part of my morning skincare routine, after I let the serum set, I conclude my routine with this moisturiser. It’s a lovely cream with a soft wild rose scent, which keeps my face hydrated all day and keeps it protected from environmental pollutants. I find that it’s an extra shield for my skin and together with the serum it helps with brightening my skin and lightening the scars/marks I have.

Step 4: Korres Wild Rose Brightening & First Wrinkles Advanced Repair Sleeping Facial

Believe me when I say, this product is so lush! The texture is so velvety and smooth that it is indeed a facial in a jar. As you might know, sleep helps our bodies recover and repair and since our skin is also being renewed and repaired, skincare products used during the night should help boost this function. 

I apply this product as a final step to my routine and I like to perform a small massage, to allow time for my skin to be soothed and hydrated while the ingredients penetrate into my skin. This sleeping facial is infused with wild rose oil which helps reduce redness and soften/prevent fine lines while the Vitamin C,  as I said earlier, helps brighten the complexion which means I wake up with the softest and smoothest skin in the morning!

All products mentioned have a very high percentage in natural content which means that the products do not contain harsh chemicals such as mineral oil, parabens, synthetic dye, SLES etc.
