Apotheke Brightening Night Serum | A Product Review

I am not a fan of serums because the last time I used one, it just gets my money without seeing any result. And for the past few months when I give skincare a shot, I checked videos regarding what main ingredient will I need to have for that young looking skin. There are active ingredients that I found but since my skin is somehow also sensitive, I am afraid to use such because I do not know what to do whenever this nightmare happens to me.

If you have checked my previous blog post, I reviewed other Apotheke product which mainly contained Niacinamide. I also mentioned on that post the benefits, the effectiveness and how it does not harm the skin compared to others.

Because I have seen good improvement using this Niacinamide one, I decided to try another and I believe in Apotheke's credibility. I also checked buyers' reviews on their night serum.

Brand Name: Apotheke Science Philippines
Product Name: Apotheke Brightening Night Serum
Product Type: Serum
Product Price: Php199 (30mL)

I decided to try this one because it has retinol in it. Retinol helps in anti-aging process of the skin and it is recommended to start at mid 20s. I am now 28 years old and I have seen my skin looking ugly and dry. I am hesitant at first because there are others who experienced small bumps after using. Also, same outcome with other brands with retinol. Since I think Apotheke is true to their words and only uses essential chemicals and somehow organic, I bought one to find out. Other korean retinol products I have seen on the market is expensive for me and I only need a sampler for now.

This comes with drops. I apply 4 drops every night after applying moisturizer. One on the forehead, one on each cheeks, and the other one on the chin. Then, I applied it evenly. The formula is sticky but after some time, it will not feel sticky at all. At first night of the application, you may feel a tingling sensation but after continuous application, you may not feel it again. Maybe this is just how the skin reacts to it at first. But if you see or feel that this product is not applicable to use on your skin, stop this then immediately.

According to the instruction that is included in the package when you bought one, continue use for a month to see the difference. I have used this for many months now and the bottle is still half way through. My skin lightens and been improved. Also, this helps on healing my pimples and slowly helps on the lightness of my pigmentation. I like this product. As I can see on my skin now compared to my before, it is way younger looking.

Retinol is good for aging skin. I recommend to incorporate it to a skincare routine at the age of 20. But for pregnant women, it is not adviced. Consult first your physician before applying.
