When you think of serums, ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol immediately jump to mind. While I love and appreciate the benefits of these powerhouse ingredients, especially if I want to target a specific concern, sometimes I want something a little less active and a little more suited to just boosting my overall skin health…
Herbivore’s Moon Fruit Serum does just that – it’s a multitasking formula which helps to maintain healthy, happy skin, improve hydration, and smooth fine lines. The star ingredient is bakuchiol, a plant-derived antioxidant which soothes skin, and has also been proven to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Antioxidants also help to protect skin from environmental stressors which can cause long-term damage and trigger early signs of aging so if that’s something you’re concerned with, this would be a great addition to your skincare routine. It’s accompanied by other superstar ingredients like glycerin (for hydration) and peptides (to firm texture) as well as soothing raspberry and blueberry extracts, and nourishing jojoba seed oil.
The result? Just happy, plump, glowy skin. The texture is a lightweight silky gel, which absorbs fast so you can easily layer your moisturiser on top. I’ve been using it in my morning routine and I’ve found it’s perfect for making my skin feel calm and hydrated.
