Jordan Samuel Skin The After Show Treatment Cleanser (94ml for £20) 

This is an oil-based cleanser, allegedly removing makeup and sunscreen. Now, if you don't wear makeup (especially eye makeup), you will like it -- its gel-oily texture is nice and will be perfect as a first cleanse. However! It's not that great in removing mascara -- it leaves mild residue under the eyes, which is a pity. Second cleanser is a must. This is unfortunate and hence will not be repurchased.

Jordan Samuel Skin Antioxidant Serum (30ml for £41.50) 

Not the cheapest antioxidant serum for sure. Although it's said to be "oil-free", it consists of various fruit/seed/leaf extracts that give the serum this silky-oily feel (slip). It also contains resveratrol. I enjoy this serum although the slippery texture sometimes puts me off, but also because of it, you really don't need too much of the product so the bottle lasts a good while.

Jordan Samuel Hydrate Facial Serum (30ml for $29)

Gosh, the amount of hype surrounding Jordan Samuel! I mean, it got me excited just because everyone else was so excited. Big mistake though. It didn't live up to the hype, in my opinion. Like, it's a good serum. Hydrates well, has a semi gel-consistency, sinks in. Ticks the boxes. Not only does it have hyaluronic acid, it also has a bit of stabilised Vitamin C (but I don't think the concentration is high enough for it to make a true difference). Honestly, Hylamide low-molecular HA is cheaper and very similar in its hydrating properties than this brand. Tried it once, and that's enough.
