   Used up a full sample of this on my most troublesome area recently (forehead) and can’t say I noticed any difference other than slightly less flakiness on the center of my forehead that’s been plaguing me for the last month and refuses to shift – regardless of the scrubs, peels, hydration etc I’m throwing at it.
   The texture of this was pleasantly light making it suitable for me and I’m guessing most other skin types, and I didn’t experience any kind of breakout whilst using it. Having said that I was using 1 drop AM + PM before my moisturizer –
   which always calms my skin anyway, perhaps used on its own it may have disagreed with me. 

   What I wasn’t big on was the formulation itself. I’ve used plenty of day and night serums, some just a fraction of this price and with better ingredients. With alcohol as the 2nd ingredient I personally would never use this long term as that’s just too much alcohol and not good for the skin, especially mine, from past experience. The rest of the ingredients list is a mixed bag too…some good and some definitely not so! Perhaps the full effect of the product accumulates over time, but I guess – for good reason, I’ll never know…

   I received a sample size of this “Ageless Saffron Elixir in my Play subscription. Most serums don’t seem to do anything for my skin (perhaps because my skin is already clear and relatively free of wrinkles), and so I didn’t expect much from this one. But, I was surprised by this product. I put a few drops on my face at night before I went to bed, and I noticed in the morning that my face was not puffy (unlike most mornings), and the skin under my eyes looked more firm than usual. I wondered if it would irritate my sensitive skin, so I continued to use it. I have used it for about a week now, and it hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts, and I really like how my face looks using this product! My face literally is looking better the longer than I am using it. I searched to see what it costs for a full-sized bottle and was a bit shocked at how expensive it is! This product is absolutely fantastic in my opinion, but I can’t bring myself to give it 5 stars when I have to hand over a Benjamin Franklin to buy it. My brain tells me that I shouldn’t spend so much money on so little product, but I know that I will not be able to resist when I look in the mirror.
