Merumaya Iconic Youth Serum Review

This time of year, the weather gives my skin a battering. Not helped by the cold harsh wind and rain, the lack of sunshine makes my skin feel a bit meh, so it's always a great time to try out new radiance boosting products to get that summer glow back - as much as possible.

The Iconic Youth Serum is the first product I've tried from Merumaya but the brand has been circulating blogsphere for a while, well loved by some of my favourite (and most trusted) fellow bloggers. 

They say, 

"Iconic Youth Serum™ significantly improves lines & wrinkles, elasticity, radiance, hydration, dark spots and plumpness, resulting in a more youthful, healthy-looking skin. Low mollecular weight Hyaluronic Acid is anti-ageing while it simultaneously helps to prevent spots and blemishes. Echium Oil, a plant source of Omega 3,6,9 provides the best anti inflammatory action to soothe sensitive skin, problem skin and helps prevent skin ageing." source

Whilst I don't really have any lines or wrinkles, there's absolutely nothing wrong with starting with anti ageing products early - more people should! I've been using this serum for a couple of weeks now and I have to say, it's like radiance in a bottle. I've found it works best, for me anyway, using it at night, so that I wake up in the morning with skin looking glowing and refreshed. It really gives the a great daytime glow underneath my foundation, so much so I've laid off the highlighter during the day. You can find out more about the Iconic Youth Serum here and can purchase it either online from Merumaya directly or at John Lewis. 

Another thing I love about Merumaya after doing research on the brand, is the about of product information on their website. Taking the Iconic Youth Serum as an example, there's a brief description as shown above, next to the photo, but then below you can find a much more in depth description, along with information on active ingredients, tips on how to use the products, inspiration behind creating the product, a video and customer reviews. I've been lost of their website for hours and I always get frustrated with other brands who don't make more of an effort with describing their products and what's actually in them. I found the inspiration behind the product section particularly fascinating and would definitely recommend everyone having a read.  

Along with my Iconic Youth Serum was a sample of their Melting Cleansing Balm. Now, I'm quite fussy when it comes to products like this, as there hasn't been many I've tried that actually make my face feel clean enough (probably something to do with the insane amount of make up I wear! Having said this, I LOVED it. It made my dry skin feel massively hydrated, and silky smooth. The product was easy to use and smelt great too which is always a bonus. I'll definitely be purchasing a full size product. You can find out more about the Melting Cleansing Balm here. 

Let me know what your favourite Merumaya product is, I'm really keen to try more now!
