Estelle & Thild Thirst Relief Vitamin Serum (30ml for $30)
I bought it for half price, so no regrets whatsoever. Estelle &Thild is a Swedish organic beauty brand. This serum is vegan. No Pheno here, but it does have mild fragrance. With aloe juice, licorice extract and Hyaluronic Acid. It's more watery, and hence absorbs quickly while leaving the skin hydrated. At first, I wasn't a big fan, but then, it really grew on me and now I only have one third level. Oh well, I probably won't repurchase, but it is definitely a good product (I just have far too many other hydrating serums to try right now). Gimme all the hydration you can!
Estelle & Thild Super BioActive Brightening Serum (30ml)
Estelle & Thild is a popular higher-end Swedish skincare brand. Not surprisingly, this serum costs around $50-55 (in Sweden). At first, we weren't too impressed. But then, we saw first hand how it significantly minimised a skin pigmentation (from an old acne) overnight. Since then, we started applying to places where we used to have acne but the skin was still left red. This is how E&T describes this serum: "potent anti-ageing treatment that helps brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolouration. Powered by the Marine Micro Algae and active Hops this age-defying serum works to brighten and correct pigmentation to improve the skin’s appearance over time. Experience luminous, younger looking skin, with a bright, healthy complexion and even skin tone". Like we said, we don't apply this serum all over our face (although you can, of course), but this is largely because we normally have a rather even skin tone. However, we believe that The Body Shop Drops of Light Serum works similarly as well (albeit, it is not as hydrating)-- largely due to algae in both products.
