Product Review: Be In Awe nirvaata Calming Serum

Product Review: Be In Awe nirvaata Calming Serum 50 ml rrp: $69.00

do you have sensitive skin? have you ever suffered from redness, itching or burning sensations on your face or neck? whether your answer is yes, or no, you need to know about Be In Awe's calming serum. this beautiful product has been formulated to protect skin from, and reduce, skin irritations from external stressors (including pollution, wind, sun exposure, chemical laiden skin care products).

"how does it do that?" i hear you ask. well, luckily, i have the answer. Be In Awe calming serum contains a powerful concoction of natural anti inflammatory ingredients (including collodial oat flour), which are proven to aid your skin's protective barrier function and maintains it's cell energy levels, which helps to reduce the effects of external stressors which our skin is faced with every day. in addition, the calming serum is packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins e and d3, to ensure a soothing and calming effect is had on the skin.

after being lucky enough to receive a sample of the serum, i fell in love. it was such a delight to use and simply had to have more.

the first thing i noticed about this product was the packaging. it is unlike any other beauty product on the market. the matte black opaque container with a combination of stark white and hot pink labelling, is extremely eye catching. the product features a pump dispenser, ensuring a controlled amount of product be dispersed each use. another benefit of the pump is that the product is spared of the constant exposure to air, which formulas housed in jars or tubes often suffer and therefore have a lesser life span. the pump is protected by a lid, which is great as it reduces any unintentional product distribution if the product is in a toiletory bag (or handbag). less wastage is always a plus!

the serum itself has a lovely light and milky texture. being quite fluid, it spreads easily and is absorb by the skin in a flash. i absolutely adore the scent of the serum. i'm able to put my finger on what exactly it smells like, but i would best describe it as creamy and marshmellow-like. truely delicious. pictured below (left to right) is one pump of the product on my hand before being evenly spread, then the same hand 30 seconds later once the product had been absorbed.

as you can see, there is no residue from the product on my skin, and doesn't leave any unwanted shine.

i used the product on my skin directly after a fairly harsh chemical exfoliant treatment, and within minutes my flushed complexion had returned to it's calm/pale normal state. i also used the serum on my face and neck recently when i had an allergic reation to a moisturiser and broke out in a (hideos) bumpy, angry, itchy rash. i had almost instantaneous relief from the itching.

i would highly recommend that this serum be added to your skin care regime, if you suffer from sensitive skin. it is the perfect partner for both chemical and physical exfoliation. the serum was specifically designed to be used post laser, peels, shaving and sun exposure, so you rest assured it will be gentle enough for even the most aggrevated skin.
