BioTherm Liquid Glow Skin-Best review

packaging

Due to climate changes, I feel my skin getting rougher and drier... so while I was shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart, I came across Biotherm's Liquid Glow Skin Best, I have never used any Biotherm products before, but have heard lots of great reviews so I decided to give this face oil a try.



Price: $65 + 13% tax (total: $73.45)

What it claims:

A revolution in facial oils : the 1st dry oil ultra-concentrated in one of the most powerful antioxydant algae extract : Astaxanthin. Skin is instantly smoothed out and complexion is naturally enhanced.

Ingredients:

How to use it:

There are 4 ways you can use this:

• ALL DAY GLOW TOUCHES: Apply by pressing to add touches of glow.
• NIGHT DETOX: Massage the face for a detoxing effect.
• WITH YOUR SKINCARE: Mix a drop of oil with your skincare to add an antioxidant power.
• RADIANCE RECOVERY MASK: Apply in thick layer, leave-on for 10 min then wipe-off the excess.


pros:

• hygienic
• makes skin feel so soft (just takes 2 days to notice the difference)
• a little goes a long way
• smells nice
• easy to apply

cons:

• leaves an unpleasant oil crust on skin hours after applying
• easy to drop bottle
• bottle is made out of glass (breakable)
• hard to take out 10% of remaining product (pump is too short)
• oily
• a bit pricy

My favourite way of using this oil is Night Detox (see above). I love massaging the product into my face and letting my face absorb all of it. I find Emulsion works best with this product while moisturizer doesn't.

you can see how the base of the bottle is very uneven and easy to tip over in this picture

One thing I hate about this oil is the bottle... I have a love hate relationship with it, I love it because it feels more expensive but I hate it at the same time because it is not sturdy, making it easy for the container to tip over (and perhaps breaking and wasting all of the remaining product).

I love what this product has done to my skin and you can see results after 2 days! Like most facial oils, this product leaves an unpleasant oily crust on your skin a few hours after using it. So I recommend covering it with an emulsion.

I highly recommend this product but I do find it quite pricey, a bottle lasts about 4 months.

score: 8.5/10
