I love diversifying my skin care with the change of seasons and a change in my mood. Mica and Iron Oxide are interesting choices, likely meant to give a shimmer (mica) and some color without having to add a colorant.This product review was originally part of my blog article titled, Three New Treatment Toners I'm into from Kiehl's, Dr. If you were wanting simple ingredients then this option is definitely not for you although most of the ingredients are extracts. Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycereth-26, Glycerin, C13-15 Alkane, Echinacea Purpurea Root Extract, Honey Extract, Propolis Extract, Royal Jelly Extract, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Allantoin, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Leaf Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Adenosine, Betaine, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Flavor (Aroma), Sorbitan Olivate, Sucrose Stearate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium Edta, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Agar, Calcium Alginate, Mica, Iron Oxide (Ci 77492), Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Methyl Gluceth-20, Diheptyl Succinate,Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Hydroxyacetophenone, Tromethamine, Cetearyl Olivate, Alcohol Denat., Caprylyl Glycol If a stronger AHA is wanted look towards Lactic acid which is below in the next dupe.ĭupe #2: Farmacy Beauty Honey Drop lightweight moisturizer ($45) + The Ordinary 10% Lactic Acid + HA ($6.80) Mandalaic acid is going to be one of the more gentle AHAs. Obviously, this has a high concentration of honey (70%) and the portulaca oleracea extract acts as a natural antioxidant.

The AHAs are laboratory-made and I’d be willing to bet Guerlain and The Ordinary are purchasing these from the same supplier.ĭupe #1: SkinFood’s Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Emulsion ($39)+ The Ordinary 10% Mandalaic Acid Plus Hyaluronic Acid ($6.80) The extract purity is going to be the difference maker in this product. Persian silk tree and Ophiopogon japonicus root extract aren’t the most common in skincare right now and a budget option is going to be difficult due to the high cost of the extract but the rest are fairly common and found widely in both luxury and budget brands. For the repair serum the main ingredients are honey (moistuizes and softens the skin, aids in repair), rosemary leaf extract (mild skin protectant and very mild moisturizing properties), alibizia julibrissin bark extract (persian silk tree: promotes collagen and elastin production), ophiopogon japonicus root extract (humectant: drives moisturizer to skin), and mallow root extract (skin softener great for dry skin persons, ceramide precursors to repair the skin barrier, in general its a wonder extract). Glycolic acid, citric acid, and lactic acids are very common AHAs in skincare. The Renew formulation utilizes AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) to ‘gently’ peel (read as exfoliate) the topmost layer of skin. This is a biphasic (2-phase) serum made up of a Renew and a Repair formulation.

But at $215 my credit card wouldn’t exactly enjoy that. I’ve read reviews and those with dry and dehydrated skin have said the addition of this has helped.

I’ve actually really wanted to get my hands on this particular product.
