Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum-Review
Product Claims of Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum
This is a product review of Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum. The manufacturer claims that this product delivers brighter and clearer skin. The formula claims to diminish discoloration like dark spots and redness. How does this product fare in comparison to alternative brands on the market? Our review will examine various product aspects to determine that answer.
Ingredients
- MI˟ Concentrate
- Diamond Powder
- Soft Focus Silicone
- Biomimetic Peptide
Diamond Powder is a gentle exfoliator that may deliver illuminating benefits. However, the diamond powders concentration needs to be at least 5% of the formula to illuminate skin. In saying so, we are uncertain if this inactive ingredient is accurately dosed to offer additional brightening benefits. Soft Focus Silicone softens the feel of skin and creates a soft light shine on the skin’s surface. Biomimetic Peptide supports the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin. In doing so, the biomimetic peptide can reduce the appearance of fine lines. MI˟ Concentrate is a patented ingredient that claims to deliver a synergistic blend of Vitamin B3 and Vitamin C. These vitamins promote brightener skin.
While it is beneficial to see the presence of 1 patented ingredient; the product’s formula may not be as effective as competitor brands. Alternative brands have as many as 5 patented ingredients which are all specialized to deliver optimal efficacy. As an example, Argireline NP is a substance that is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in 15 days. Furthermore, this product does not explicitly claim to be cruelty-free or manufactured in a cGMP certified facility. Therefore, the quality and ethics of the production process is a concern.
Instructions
The manufacturer provides standard instructions for use. Users should apply 3-4 drops of the Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum per application. Use the fingertips to smooth the product onto the face and throat. The ingredients’ concentrations are not available. Therefore, we cannot determine the product's potency and efficacy.
Cost and Guarantee
You can purchase the Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum from the Elizabeth Arden website. Customers can buy a 1.0 fl. Oz. dropper bottle for $79.50. This price is somewhat expensive in comparison to the market standard, especially considering the lack of patented ingredients. There are also no bulk offers or discounts available to support the long-term use and affordability.
Customers can get a refund for their products within a period of 30 days. Although, customers must include the receipt and accurately follow the return procedure to qualify. This policy is somewhat vague as it does not state if opened and partially used products are eligible for a refund. Furthermore, the customer reviews are limited and do not showcase a sufficient testimony for the product’s claimed efficacy.
Summary Of Our Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum Review
Our product review revealed a few positive aspects of this product. The formula contains many beneficial ingredients as well as 1 patented ingredient. However, the ingredients' concentrations are absent and the product’s efficacy may be limited because of the limited patented ingredients. The product is also missing important certification, therefore, the quality and ethics of the production process are in question. The price does not seem justified because of this. The instructions are clear and there is refund policy available. However, the refund policy is not as clear as it could be and may frustrate customers. For these reasons, as well as limited customer reviews, we do not feel that Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum is the best day serum available.
