Okay, so you know I'm always on the hunt for the next best thing in skincare, right? This horrible weather had my skin looking dull and dry. I decided to try ZESICA by ZESICA after seeing it all over my Insta feed. Plus, it was on offer at Boots, so why not give it a go?
First impressions? The packaging is really sleek and expensive looking, which I always appreciate. The serum itself is a lovely pearly white colour. The texture is amazing – it's like silk, but not greasy at all. This surprised me! It has a really subtle, almost floral scent that I actually really like. I applied it after cleansing and toning, before my moisturiser. It felt instantly soothing, which was a good sign.
Now for the real test: did it actually do anything? I used it every morning and night for three weeks to really give it a fair shot. Honestly? I started seeing a difference quicker than I expected. On day 5, I looked in the mirror and realised my skin looked…brighter? More even-toned, definitely. After a week, my fine lines around my eyes seemed less noticeable. I swear my make-up was going on smoother too. Unlike the No7 serum I used before, this didn't leave me feeling sticky. I've even had a couple of people at work comment on how well I’m looking, which never happens!
After three weeks, I'm totally hooked. My skin feels so much more hydrated, looks brighter, and honestly, I feel like I have a bit of a glow. My husband even asked what I was using – he never notices these things! You can grab it from Boots here View Product. I keep it next to my toothbrush so I don't forget. It's become a non-negotiable part of my routine.
So, would I buy it again? Absolutely, 100%. I'm already planning to stock up! Who's it perfect for? I'd say anyone with normal to dry skin who wants a boost of hydration and radiance. If you have super oily skin, maybe skip this one, as it might be a bit too rich. The only thing is, it takes ages to absorb so I have to wait a minute before applying my moisturiser. It's a bit of a wait, but trust me, it's worth it.
The Verdict: OMG, this actually works!
Pros:
* Amazing texture – feels luxurious
* Noticeable brightening effect
* Hydrating and plumping
* Lovely subtle scent
* Affordable price point (£36.74)
Cons:
* Takes a little while to fully absorb
* Might be too rich for very oily skin
