Radiantly You - Timeless Skin Care

I am super excited to do this review, I love Radiantly You products and their new skincare line is no exception. I was not so patiently waiting for the new line to come out this fall and as soon as it was available to order I got my hands on the trio.

It is a three piece set with a mask, a serum and a moisturiser.



Lets start with the mask. It has honey, peppermint and clay to pull toxins out of the skin and tighten your pores. You should use it at least once a week but twice is better. The 2.3oz jar should last you about a month or more if you use it twice weekly. When you open it, it smells like peppermint and honey. It has a rather thick texture like raw honey and I found it spreads better when you warm it up in your hands a bit or add a tiny bit of warm water. Apply a thin layer to your skin and leave on for about 15  minutes, rinse with some warm water. I was surprised by the cool feel of it when I apply it and then the slight tingle I felt when it is on my face. Usually tingle means redness for me but not in this case. This is super gentle and effective. After just one use I saw a difference in my pores and tightness of my skin.

After your mask you can follow it with the serum. The serum has vitamin E and Green Tea Extract to fight collagen loss and redness. This is a blend of several oils and essential oils. I only need about 1 pump per application so a 0.5 oz bottle lasts just over 30 days if you use it twice a day. I was expecting this to be greasy but it really soaks into your skin in just about a minute. I use this twice a day after I cleanse or use the mask.

Follow your serum with the new moisturiser. This little 1.0 oz bottle has a powerhouse blend of Aloe Juice, Blueberry Extract to fight ageing and lock in moisture. It has organic alcohol and I was convinced that it would be too drying on the skin but you know what? It's not! I have oily/combination skin and this stuff is just awesome. I love that it is in a pump bottle compared to the the older version of the moisturiser which came in a jar. I love that it is not greasy and absorbs so well while still miniaturising my skin. I only need about 2 pumps to cover my face and my neck.

I have been using the trio with the Radiantly You Whipped Face wash for just over 2 weeks and in that amount of time I am seeing great results. My skin tone is evening out, there is no redness on my cheeks, my T zone is not oily, my pores are smaller and  I have less breakouts. The fact that Radiantly You is a small company working hard to reduce our exposure to toxins by offering toxin free, non-animal tested products is the final icing on the cake.

The only not so great thing about this trio is the price point. While it is totally worth the price at $95.00 US with $35.00 shipping to Canada it is a bit out of my budget to use as my regular skin care line. BUT you can be sure that it is going on my Christmas and Birthday lists.
