This is the second product that came in the Skinesis Merry and Bright Cracker, I've reviewed the first product, the Intense Hydrating Booster, here if you're interested😀
Overnight Facial
This is an overnight treatment that contains Vitamin A (natural retinol), a stabilised form of Vitamin C (brightening), oils such as Melon and Baobob, and Coenzyme Q10 (an antioxidant and protector against free radicals - essentially it's a barrier between your skin and the world). It claims to reproduce the effects of the famous 'Skinesis' facial at home.
From the description:
'Recreates the effects of a Skinesis facial overnight, leaving skin plump, smooth and rejuvenated with our signature Skinesis glow. Lines and uneven textures are smoothed, skin is brighter, firmer and more radiant, giving instant results to flat, dull and unbalanced skin.'
The packaging is the same as the Instant Hydrating Booster - grey, sleek and stylish. The airless pump which allows you to dispense the product without exposing it to the air is also the same. I really enjoy the packaging of Skinesis products, as I mentioned in my post on How I think the Beauty Industry is changing I prefer practical, functional packaging that is suited to travel rather than heavy glass jars and gold lids that leave you scooping out the product with your fingers, getting it everywhere and exposing it to the air.
I've had this for about a month, and I have been using it a couple of times a week, or when I feel like my skin needs a pick me up. It's slightly more viscous than the Hydrating Booster which is quite watery in texture, and has a stronger (but very lovely) scent. It's the kind of scent that I associate with high-end botanical skincare, such as Emma Hardie products, rather than the cloying perfumed scents of some luxury brandslooking at you Guerlain. I can't find any mention of perfume as an ingredient.
It's yellow in colour, feels ever so slightly oily and has a gorgeous slip to it that makes it perfect for a facial massage - in fact, it's recommended that you use Skinesis massage techniques with this product. I've found a video on YT of Sarah Chapman herself demonstrating the technique and linked it here. Personally I love doing a facial massage, and with a gorgeous product like this it's a treat.
As the name suggests, this is an overnight treatment. I've been cleansing, toning and then applying it, followed by an extra moisturizer if I'm feeling dehydrated - although I have used it without an extra layer and I haven't felt dry - it feels extremely nourishing and hydrating.
The product couldn't have a better name, it really couldn't...! It really is like having a facial while you're sleeping. I've used it on nights when my skin is feeling a bit parched and dull due to central heating, lack of sunlight and general fatigue and when I wake up the next morning I'm bright, soft and smooth. I don't believe in miracle products, but if they existed then this would be pretty close. My favourite night-time routine as of late is cleansing with my Emma Hardie Moringa Balm, toning with Alpha H Liquid Rose Gold, spritzing with their Daily Essential Mist, adding Skinesis Hydrating Booster and Overnight Facial and finishing off with a layer of Emma Hardie Age Support Mask. I did this last night, actually, and woke up this morning looking and feeling like a new woman. I'm one of those people whose day is defined by how I feel in the morning, and how my skin looks the first time I see myself in the mirror is part of that. As I see it, even if the whole day goes to hell in a handcart and is completely beyond my ability to control, if I can at least excercise some control over how my skin looks I'll be OK. It might sound silly but it's the small things in life that keep us all sane and functional😅
I love this treatment, I really do. It's hydrating, nourishing, brightening gorgeousness. Two pumps is enough for me to cover my face and bring it down my neck a little, so even though it comes in a 15ml container it should last you some time. If you're someone like me who occasionally wakes up with skin that refuses to be grateful for all the work and money you put into it, then this serum will be your friend. I wouldn't say it's something I would use every night, but just a couple of times a week to combat tired, dull skin.
I've really been enjoying both of these Skinesis products. It's a brand I've had my eye on for a while and I'm delighted that I finally got to try two of the products, and two great ones at that. If you're in the market for a gorgous overnight treatment that will give you smooth, hydrated and glowing skin I highly recommend trying Overnight Facial. Two other products that I'm dying to get my hands on are the Ultimate Cleanse balm (recommended to me as the best cleansing balm/oil ever by the knowledgeable and VERY funny @skintrovert - check out his page and blog!) and the Rapid Radiance Cleanse, which is infused with Vit C. As an utter cleanser addict, I'm mad to try both of them...!
Overnight Facial is available from the Sarah Chapman website for £49 (here) and from Feelunique.fr for €62.50 (here).
Let me know if you have or have tried anything from Skinesis!
