I have combination skin so I only ever use facial oils during the colder months, and considering that today we had out first couple inches of snow, I think it’s about time I added the fabulous kō denmark Anti-Aging Rosehip & Evening Primrose Face Serum to my rotation.
ABOUT THE BRAND
kō denmark was founded by Henriette Holst back in 2007 with the mission to introduce luxurious natural products gentle enough to provide care and relief for dry and sensitive skin. Inspired by her Danish roots, Henriette decided to make the packaging in the best traditions of scandinavian design: minimalistic, functional, and elegant. All kō denmark products are free of parabens, mineral oil, artificial fragrances, and animal ingredients.
PRODUCT CLAIMS
This luxurious anti-aging face serum was designed to help calm dry and sensitive skin and reduce fine lines. The formula boasts evening primrose oil with its anti-inflammatory properties to help clear skin; rosehip oil with its high concentration of essential fatty acids to deeply nourish from within; vitamins C, E and b-carotene essentual for beautiful complexion; and a form of vitamin A to help promote cellular metabolism. It makes the skin look soft and supple with a healthy dewy glow.
THE VERDICT
After using this serum for a week I can say that it works great for keeping my skin moisturized, especially after AHA peels, which I usually start doing more often as soon as the sun activity slows down. I also noticed that my skin looks more soft and supple (as advertised), but I have not yet seen any reduction in my fine lines. One week is certainly not long enough to notice those changes, so I’m going to keep using this precious oil over the next few months and then come back to update this review with my long-term experience. I believe that I should also mention the wonderful fragrance which adds some aromatherapy experience to my otherwise pretty routinely skincare ritual.
