Firming Serum

New to this product. It is FAB. Particularly when I use it in the evening too along with my night cream. Don’t get me wrong only a time machine or a miracle would bring back my youthful looks however my face does look significantly better. I recommend this product.

This is a nice hydrating serum. I think the effects will depend largely on your age and current skin condition. For me I noticed my skin looked and felt more hydrated abs moisturised but I'm still young so I don't have any sagging to combat so I can't comment on those effects. I feel like dehydration and general fine lines appear reduced. Realistically, this may help with minor tightening but for heavy sagging and deep wrinkles you may want something more intensive. This is quite an expensive serum so I removed 1 star for that but overall I really like it. My skin looks bright, feels healthy and has a glow.

Saw a review of this on Glynis Barbers Ageless website. Had to try and it feels great. Smooths out face overnight, and improves the skin. Never used serum before so very impressed with this.

The ARK Skincare Skin Perfector Firming Serum comes in a boxed glass jar with a pipette in the lid for easy dispensing. I like my skin care products in glass jars rather than in plastic tubes as glass jars give the products a more premium feel, so my first impressions were good. The serum is also made in the UK and as I like to support local small businesses, this is another plus for me. The serum itself has a consistency that is a bit runnier than cream. It does have a light fragrance that I can't quite put my finger on and is hard to describe, but for some reason it puts me in mind of citrus and sherbet, and is pleasant. The instructions state to shake well before use and to apply two to three drops on the fingertips and apply to the face after cleansing. Alternatively, add two to three drops to your moisturiser and apply that way. I like to use it between cleansing and moisturising as I just prefer to apply my products in separate steps. I find that I need to use three to four generously sized drops to get good coverage over my face. This may be something to do with my skin type as I find generally with most skin care products I need to use a little more than the directions state. The serum absorbs nicely into my skin without leaving any residue and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I do find I need to moisturise afterwards for best results, and once moisturised my skin feels firmer and looks toned. Results from beauty products vary wildly from person to person, and something that works very well for one person may not work well at all for another. It's very much trial and error and trying different things to find the ones that suit any individual best. Moreover, it can sometimes take a bit of time to start seeing noticeable results. Realistic expectations are needed and no serum in the world is going to make anyone look ten or even five years younger, however firming up the appearance of fine lines just helps enhance ones natural appearance. I don't have sensitive skin so this isn't something I don't need to consider when selecting skin care products. I can say however that I've had no issues at all using this serum and overall, I'm very happy with it.

I recently started using the ARK Skincare Skin Perfector Firming Serum, and I've been pleasantly surprised by its performance. This serum promises a firming effect with hyaluronic acid and argan oil, and it does deliver quite well on that front. Firstly, the texture of the serum is light and absorbs quickly into the skin, which is fantastic if you don’t want a heavy or greasy feel. I appreciate the inclusion of hyaluronic acid; it provides a noticeable boost of hydration and leaves my skin feeling plump and refreshed. The addition of argan oil is a nice touch, adding a bit of nourishment and a subtle glow without being overly oily. The firming effect is gradual but noticeable. After a few weeks of use, I can see a slight improvement in skin firmness and overall smoothness. It’s not a miracle worker, but it does give my skin a bit of a lift and helps with a more youthful appearance. However, the serum isn't without its quirks. The scent is quite strong initially, which may not be to everyone's taste. It dissipates fairly quickly, but if you’re sensitive to fragrances, this might be a bit off-putting. Also, the dropper can be a bit finicky. It’s not always the most precise, so you might end up using a bit more product than necessary. In terms of value for money, it’s reasonably priced for a serum with these ingredients, and given the results I’ve experienced, it seems like a worthwhile investment. Just be prepared for a bit of trial and error with the dropper and the scent. Overall, ARK’s Skin Perfector Firming Serum is a solid addition to a skincare routine, offering good hydration and a gentle firming effect. With a few minor adjustments, it could easily become a favourite.

Love these products.

This serum arrived in a really stylish looking, branded and mirror topped cardboard box. Inside was a high quality bottle with a white, pipette style applicator and silver accents. The serum inside is white in colour and fairly thick. You only require 2 or 3 drops per application and, because the serum is quite thick, it's doesn't instantly absorb into your fingertips - so all of the product finds it's way to the face. I find that 3 drops is easily enough to cover the entirety of my face with ease, where it absorbs quickly with minimal stickiness. The listing states that it is fragrance free but I get a really strong smell of lavender when using this. It doesn't linger but was obvious from the moment I opened the box, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. Overall the serum has a really nice texture, is definitely improving the look of my skin and is super simple to incorporate in my skincare routine. At £40.49, at time of review, this isn't a budget option but a little goes a long way, it's cruelty free and made in the UK - so the price is justified by the quality.

As I get older, my skin no longer matches the 25-year-old 'real' me inside and is trying to drag me into reality by a bit of a sag here, some crepiness there, and a few wrinkles all about. Dammit! But I fght against it... When I was 25, I had no hint of dry skin, but it's got dryer over time and life stages; and it's always been a bit sensitive to cosmetics and skin creams. However, I've tried a couple of these ARK products, and I love them! This one is as good as the others: no reaction from my skin, quickly and easily absorbed and moisturising. This serum is really nice, and a little goes a very long way. It didn't transform me into a 25-year-old (shame!) but it did moisturise my skin beautifully, and it really does seem to make my skin a bit smoother and more elastic, as well as apparently minimising the laugh lines around my eyes. Certainly well enough to continue using it! Although it's expensive at £44.99 for a 30ml bottle, it's comparable with other hgher end skincare serums. It's also made in the UK, so I find it reassuring that it is subject to our regulations and controls. Recommended!
