Award Winning Moisture Boost Face Serum with Coenzyme Q10 - Night Time

for Dry and Mature Skin - also available Fragrance Free (without essential oils)

Key Ingredients: Moringa Seed Oil, Starflower Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn Extract, Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E, Essential Oils

A busy lifestyle, sun, and other factors all take their toll on our skin and advancing into middle age might sprinkle a few more wisdom and laughter lines onto our faces and of course it also depends on genetics.
There are different ways to look after your skin, whether it is through lifestyle changes or using specific products like our Moisture Boost Serum which can give you that bit of extra care.

Our Moisture Boost Face Serum is a luxurious, tried and tested Face Serum with a silky texture. It contains high performance natural ingredients such as Moringa, Starflower and Coenzyme Q10 to help plump, boost collagen production and exceptionally nourish your skin. This Face Serum is particularly suited for dry and mature skin with fine lines.

You can use this Face Serum as a standalone product or you can use a moisturiser first, let the moisturiser absorb and follow with face oil/serum which forms an occlusive layer on your skin to avoid water-loss (trapping the moisture).

We initially suggest to use this Serum at night times because it replenishes moisture levels beautifully while you sleep. But this does not mean you couldn't use the Serum in the mornings too! As you can see from the above feedback, it depends on your very own preference and skin type as well and whether you have the time in the mornings to wait 15 to 30 minutes for it to absorb before you apply your make-up.

We have asked a group of women to trial this Serum for us and give us honest feedback so we could tweak, move it forward and eventually offer you this great product. Our test ladies confirmed that it makes the skin feel softer, very moisturised, plumper, glowing and agreed generally that it is a 'truly lovely product'.

Here is just one example of the feedback we received:
'I really do love this face oil!! I apply several drops and massage in, the smell is gorgeous and reminds me of the days when I had facials, before I became aware of all the nasty chemicals in most products. The oil is absorbed very quickly with no need to blot. I use it morning and night with no need for my usual moisturiser which I find amazing. My skin feels and looks much better, I seem to have a glow which again is amazing as I am not getting much sleep at the moment. I am looking forward to purchasing'.
(Find detailed test results HERE)

Tips for VERY dry skin: hydrate by using a hydrosol over damp skin, use moisturiser as a boost and apply over the hydrosol. Follow with face oil/serum.

Directions: Shake bottle well before you use the Face Serum. You will need about 2 to 3 drops per application for your face and probably a drop or two more for the neck area. Use gentle outward and upward movements. If you are using this Facial Serum in the mornings, leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes and blot off the residue before you apply your make-up. PS: A little goes a long way!

Please note: Because we use pure, unrefined Moringa Seed Oil which is very rich in essential fatty acids, it tends to form crystals when stored at cool temperatures. Simply warm the Face Serum gently between your hands. This will melt the small crystals without harm.

Ingredient Profile

Moringa Seed Oil is extracted by pressing the seeds of Moringa oleifera tree, also called the Drumstick tree. This tree is native to the Himalayan foothills of northern India and cultivated throughout the tropics. Moringa Olifeira grows long pods which contain the precious seeds and once matured are processed into 'Ben Oil' or 'Behen Oil'. The name derives from a very high content in behenic acid which helps the oil resist rancidity for a long period of time and is highly valued in perfumery for being able to capture and hold the most delicate scents.
In skin care it has remarkable properties because of its high monounsaturated oleic acid content, therefore very moisturising for dry and mature skin, yet does not feel oily. It protects the skin and is a very good anti-oxidant.
In Egypt it was used to make medicinal ointments and salves and to protect the skin from the desert environment. A daily skin treatment for wrinkles and sun damage combined gum of frankincense and ground Cyprus grass mixed with fermented plant juice. A venerated oil, vases of moringa oil were found inside ancient tombs.

Sea Buckthorn has been traditionally used for a wide range of skin ailments and is revered for its nourishing, regenerative, and restorative actions. The pulp of the berries is a powerhouse, containing lots of vitamins (E, C, B1, B2, K), minerals, essential fatty acids and phytosterol. It as an exceptionally nourishing oil for dry skin and has the ability to promote the regeneration of skin cells.

Starflower oil helps your skin to retain moisture, aids faster cell regeneration and softens your skin beautifully. The high levels of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) will help restore the barrier function of your skin and act as an anti-inflammatory that can soothe dry skin and itchiness. It also helps to fight the loss of skin elasticity and firm the skin.

We use pure Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, which is a wonderful hydrator and penetrates the skin immediately without leaving a greasy residue since it is considered a “dry” oil.
Rosehip Seed Oil contains Vitamin E and C which has nearly equal percentages of Alpha-Linolenic and Linoleic Acids, a good source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, trans-retinoic acid (precursor of Vitamin A) and therefore promotes collagen formation and increases elastin.

In most people over fourty Coenzyme Q10 levels start to sink, resulting in a lesser ability to produce collagen and other important skin molecules.
Coenzyme Q10 has exceptional antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that topical application can effectively counteract free radical damage and provide protection against UVA-induced depletion of cell membrane. This function helps to prevent damage to collagen and elastin production process and help to reduce the signs of ageing and appearance of wrinkles.

Benefits of Facial Oils

Our plant based Face Oils work on every skin type as they nourish, re-balance skin and restore a naturally healthy complexion. Whether you have oily, combination or dry skin, by regularly applying a Face Oil, your skin will re-balance to reveal calm, clear and healthy looking complexion. A perfect base for make-up.
Face Oils glide onto the skin and encourage facial massage. Massaging your face has plenty of benefits – it relaxes and tones the muscles which helps to sculpt facial contours, removes stress and tension in the face, boosts blood flow and awakens the senses. By massaging the oil into your skin you are also pushing the skin-boosting ingredients deeper into the epidermis.
If you’re scared of using a Face Oil, you can gently ease yourself into using one by simply adding a couple of drops to your night cream and day cream to give your skin an extra surge of nourishment but without committing to applying the oil directly to your skin. Even by adding a couple of drops to your day and night cream is enough to notice the benefits to your skin.
Face Oils give skin a gorgeously plump and dewy glow – the type that is always seen on the runways and red carpets but is so hard to replicate. Simply massage a Face Oil into your skin every evening before bed and in the mornings to achieve a radiant and healthy glow.

I was a lucky winner and was sent this serum. I have used face serums before and found them quite thick and oily and they never seemed to absorb into the skin which i didn't like. I didn't hold out much hope of this being any different as every time i tried new ones they were the same.
However this serum is massively different and i wouldn't be without it .I love it! It absorbs beautifully into the skin and my skin has never felt so soft. I put it on at bed time and by the morning i can feel the difference in my skin. I highly recommend this to everyone .You won't be disappointed...Trust me

Fabulous on dry/mature skin

Tuesday, 12 September 2017 | Loraine

I have very dry/sensitive/menopausal and eczema prone skin which can be challenging. I tried a 5ml size of this serum and really liked it, as it feels soothing and moisturising (without being too greasy) under my day moisturiser. I've always used oils on my skin (from often very expensive aromatherapy based skincare/salon ranges), so the idea/feel of an oil is familiar to me and my skin readily accepts them - in fact it drinks them in on face and body. This is comparable to far more expensive products I've tried in the past and I plan on repurchasing a bigger size when the other oils I have are finished. PS it also smells great and is really pleasant to use.

I want to thank Gerlinde for sending me this item. I had previously purchased the Skin Recovery Night Cream but the scent was just too strong for me and the cream didn't work as well for my skin type. This oil has been great! It does take a while to sink in at night, so I put it on before bed and by morning it's all sunk in I have dehydrated/combo skin and this has been the best thing i've tried as a night treatment. A few nights a week I use AHA with this over the top and have had no reactions. Be careful this item doesn't come out in drops like the description says and I find 1 pump even far too much for me (Thats why I've gave 4 stars). I would definitely purchase this once I run out along with the day cream which I'm half way through and loving it (wondering if you would make a version with spf?). My only slight criticism is i've noticed a price increase on items and I really don't want to end up not being able to afford my favourite products from Gerlinde and having to go back to lower quality brands which don't work the same. xx

Response:

Thank you very much for your review and your thoughts on the Moisture Boost Serum Michelle! I am glad to hear that you are getting on well with it. Regarding the dispensing of the product I would suggest to only push the pump on the airless dispenser lightly and not all the way down, which will dispense less of the serum. As to the price increase I have to mention that ingredient and other supplier prices have risen drastically at the beginning of this year but I have still kept my prices reasonable and below comparable other natural and vegan skin care companies (ie Dr Hauschka, Liz Earle, Bodhi & Birch). As you know, I regulary run offers including vouchers, discount codes, giveaways and as an existing customer you are entitled to a 5% Loyalty Scheme which gives you the opportunity to safe money on your purchase. Again, thanks so much for your time to leave feedback! xx

Lovely Serum

Friday, 11 March 2016 | Carolyn

I was lucky enough to win this beautiful serum, and have been enjoying using it on my neck and décolleté which were beginning to look crepey and dry. Since using this serum my skin looks plump and moist, without any oiliness and is looking better every day. It also smells amazing. I would recommend and will be trying more of Gerlinde's lovely products.

I am a big fan of Gerlinde Naturals and find her products to be not only excellent quality but beautifully packaged as well so they arrive like a gift.
I bought mine last years when it was first released and I see that this serum won the Janey (Lee Grace) award for the 'New for 2016 Platinum Awards - The Best of the Best New Natural Products' which is a pretty high accolade as Janey Lee Grace is highly respected in the field of natural beauty products. She can be heard on Radio 2 with Steve Wright and she is she is the founder of janeyleegrace.com a consumers website which recommends the best in the natural, organic, and eco world.

I don’t find this has much of a scent, slightly floral but very subtle. It looks pretty much like a oil. Clear and slightly golden but certainly not dark at all.
If I apply this after toning I leave my toner feeling damp then apply this and it traps the moisture into my skin.

I have found this to be a very effective face oil that absorbs pretty fast into my skin. It smells pleasant on application and feels quite oily initially but once absorbed my skin feels soft yet firm and not at all greasy to touch.
Yes indeed this is a fabulous 100 % natural face oil. It has no nasty additives and has not been tested on animals nor have any of the ingredients.

Absolutely love this product. My eczema prone menopausal skin has been so dry for months and everything I tried didn't work. Since using this serum every night these last few weeks my skin is fabulous, no itchy dry patches at all. It's wonderful and I thoroughly recommend it. I will definitely put my next order in as couldn't be without it now 😃
