Truth be told, even as a beauty writer, I\u2019m often overwhelmed by the skincare industry thanks to the mind-boggling number of products available in the market. Take the vast anti-aging options available – picking one with the right formula is a tough task as many claim to be miracle workers in fighting all signs of ageing. But one particular product recently stood out for me thanks to its <\/span>unique way of taking on anti-aging<\/span><\/a> – <\/span>Chanel\u2019s Blue Serum<\/span><\/a> promises to stimulate skin youthfulness with a simple, yet powerful formula.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Skin background <\/b><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m turning 27 soon – the optimal time to start an anti-aging routine. <\/span>While I have already started looking for anti-aging products, for over a year now<\/span> I\u2019ve had little success in finding the right serum for my skin. Late nights and insomnia, and an <\/span>unexplainable reluctance to drink water (I know, I know)<\/span> often leaves my skin sallow. Fine lines have started appearing around my eyes, and I\u2019m starting to notice an uneven skintone (don\u2019t even get me started on the sun spots despite my regular use of sunscreen).<\/span><\/p>\n

Why it’s supposed to work<\/b><\/h3>\n

Plenty of serums in the market are targeted at battling the effects of aging. It\u2019s an uphill battle, so I\u2019d prefer to look after my current skin condition as a method of preventing aging. To set itself apart from other anti-aging products, Chanel\u2019s Blue Serum formula contains high concentrations of three active ingredients: Lentisk (also known as the mastic tree) from Greece, green coffee from Costa Rica and olives from Sardinia. These active natural ingredients have been chosen because they are part of the diets of those who live in the world\u2019s \u201cblue zones”, home to some of the world\u2019s oldest and healthiest people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Texture and scent of the serum<\/b><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve got to love the lightweight texture of this serum, as it absorbs quickly into skin and spreads easily. While it will leave a sticky texture at first, this dries off fast, leaving skin firm and noticeably bouncier. It\u2019s floral scented, so those with fragrance sensitivity might want to do a patch test first. I myself am sensitive to strong scents but had no bad reactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trial <\/b><\/h3>\n

I gave the Chanel Blue Serum a try over the course of a week, and boy, did I love it. To test the serum, I added the extra step into my skincare routine and did not alter my sleeping patterns, diet or drinking habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Application<\/b><\/h3>\n

I massaged the Blue Serum onto my skin after cleansing in the morning and evening. To maximise the serum\u2019s absorption into skin, <\/span>I had to apply it<\/span> with deep <\/span>\u2018smoothing\u2019 movements according to the brand\u2019s directions.<\/span> You m<\/span>assage the serum from your jawline to your earlobes, from the corner of your lips to your ears, from your nostrils to your temples, and finally, from the center of your forehead to your temples. <\/span>It\u2019s suggested that you d<\/span>o this three times each. <\/span><\/p>\n

Admittedly, I skipped these steps in the morning but quickly learned<\/span> that adding this \u00a0massage <\/span>to my night routine helped me destress before bedtime. <\/span><\/p>\n

The results <\/b><\/h3>\n

I didn\u2019t expect miracles from a week of use but I was pleasantly surprised to see the visible effects after my trial. The results speak for themselves in the before and after pictures below. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the start of the week, my skin was dull, uneven and blotchy. My dark spots and undereye circles were also visible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a week, my skin looked more radiant and clear, with lighter under eye circles and sun spots. It also felt a lot firmer and bouncier to the touch. It probably won\u2019t surprise you that I now swear by <\/span>Chanel\u2019s<\/span> Blue Serum. If one week was all it took for brighter, younger-looking skin, I\u2019ve no problem believing that it\u2019d preserve my <\/span>skin’s youthfulness\u00a0<\/span>with continued and regular use<\/span>. Watch the video below for a more in depth look at the results.<\/span><\/p>\n
