Ponds Gold Radiance Precious Youth Serum

January has been a skin care month for me. I need to admit that I never liked buying boring creams and serums , but once you pass mid twenties something ticks and all of a sudden all the potions jars filled with collagen seem like your best friends. 


Recently I have managed to set up a day and night routine that I religiously follow (which has never happened before, EVER). The creams I opted for are all high street, affordable finds and boy they are amazing. The unsung star of the pack is definitely Gold Radiance Precious Youth Serum by Ponds.



It is a water-based gel consistency serum that contains "real gold micro particles". I am not convinced if these particles are real gold at about AED 80.00 per 30ml bottle but what I can say is, this serum is amazing. It makes my skin plumped and I find that when applied over my moisturiser it boosts it's hydrating power. It does not have any smell and most importantly it is kind to my sensitive skin.




The only down side of this product it's the packaging, especially the application pump. It comes with a medical type pipette that does not grip the product very well. It takes me few tries before I actually get enough of "serving" to work it to my face. I use about 4 pea size drops. If the manufacturer would just include a small pump, the product would be much easier to use. Having said that I have been using the product for nearly a month and I am not even 1/4 into the bottle. Small amount does go a long way taking into consideration that I apply it day and night. 



Another great advantage is that it does work great with all my foundations and BB creams. It makes it easy to blend my base product into skin and gives even, air brushed looking finish. It's a big plus, especially when I'm in hurry to get out of the door in the morning and don't have a lot of time to buff the foundation.


Overall I do love this serum and I will definitely repurchase it once it runs out. If you have dry dehydrated skin that is in need of TLC and you don't have big bucks to spend on high end serum, try this one.


Product available in any super market nationwide in UAE. 

Retail Price: approximately AED80.00
