Ahoy, ahoy my name is lenka Oshry, welcome to Skincare with Lenka, before we start i would love if you
subscribe to my channel i will appreciate it a lot, in today's video i will review two Lelive
products specifically vitamin c serum and their tinted spf moisturizer, i have already reviewed
these items in my previous lelive review video but this time i have purchased the product and i
have been using them for a while so i can give you better review based on personal experience as well
Lelive is vegan, cruelty free, sulfate free, paraben free, dye free and they have conscious
packaging but they're not all fragrance free some of their products contain natural fragrances aka
essential oils, all right so let's start with the vitamin c serum and it's it's called: all glowed up
vitamin c turmeric plus hyaluronic acid brightening serum, i've been using this serum for a few
weeks i love it, i feel that it really improved my skin, the combination of the ingredients are
stunning, the packaging is studying, they don't use glass they use aluminium so you can
recycle those as well, the only plastic bit is the part of the dropper, this serum is fragrance
free so it doesn't have any natural or synthetic fragrance in it, the texture is really nice
i almost finished it up and then i realized i haven't reviewed it, you can see this nice yellow
color and it is a little bit jelly but not too much, absorbs really quickly, it's just really
good serum so let's talk about the ingredients in this serum, first one a very good one of
course it's niacinamide vitamin b3 and vitamin b3 is a antioxidant it reduces the oilness on the
skin, brightens the skin, reduce the redness, it is overall ingredient for all skin types no matter if
you have rosacea, if you have dry skin, if you have oily skin, if you have whatever skin niacinamide
is always good so this ingredient provides the brightness and in this serum of course
the next brightening ingredient in this serum is licorice root and licorice root is a antioxidant
it also reduces the redness, it is anti-inflammatory and fights hyperpigmentation
next ingredient in this serum is bakuchiol and bakuchiol is a antioxidant, it is anti-inflammatory
and antibacterial, it can improve hyperpigmentation, fine lines , wrinkle, skin texture and skin tone
it also contains salix alba or willow bark and willow bark is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
of course it contains hyaluronic acid and hyaluronic acid is humectant so it hydrates the skin by
capturing the water and push it into deeper layers of our skin and what about the vitamin
c and turmeric in this serum, well i don't think they do much because vitamin c or ascorbic acid
is super finicky, very hard to formulate it degrades easily, it oxidizes easily
and for vitamin c to be stable it needs to be formulated with vitamin e and with ferulic acid
so the serum contains vitamin e but is missing ferulic acid and also it needs to be at least
10% of ascorbic acid for it to have any effect on our skin and in this serum we don't know
how much vitamin c the percentage because they didn't state it, the last ingredient i will
mention in this serum is turmeric and turmeric is likewise very difficult ingredient because
of its ph and its water solubility, it has very very hard time to penetrate the skin membrane
...the cell membrane and do what it's supposed to do so again it
might do something and probably doesn't do anything in the serum but as i said before
this serum is amazing it's still going to give you glow up as i said i think it did improve my skin
i really like it and i will definitely purchase it again
and the next favorite product from lelive is their tinted spf moisturizer and this
is: all the shade marula tinted spf 30 broad spectrum moisturizer
this moisturizer it is sunscreen basically but in a form of moisturizer, so sunscreens
and moisturizer with spf they're basically the same thing but if this labeled moisturizer
is probably more hydrating, more moisturizing, more nourishing for the skin, i have been using
this sunscreen for a while and i actually wearing it now instead of makeup foundation
my skin is clear so i don't have need to put full coverage foundation
i only want something to give me nice healthy glow and this indeed gives you
juicy skin, hydrated skin, the the shade is amazing even though it's much darker than my skin
when you apply it sort of disappear and just give you this fantastic glow and it is suitable for all
skin tones, the sunscreen ingredient in this sunscreen or moisturizer is zinc oxide and iron
oxides, iron oxide it gives the tint, the color of the the moisturizer and also protects
from a visible blue light and blue visible light is responsible for a hyperpigmentation
if you are darker skin tone and you are battling with hyperpigmentation this
spf might be just perfect for you and it is also mineral sunscreen so it's much gentler
than chemical sunscreen but make no mistake, chemical sunscreen and mineral sunscreen
they are equal good so use whatever is best for your skin, whatever feels good on the skin then wear
that sunscreen, this sunscreen contains aloe vera, aloe vera soothing and anti-inflammatory
it contains glycerin and hyaluronic acid those are humectants so they will hydrate your skin
it contains a sweet almond oil which is very rich in vitamin e that is antioxidant
and also in three fatty omega acids... three omega fatty acids it, contains moringa seed oil that is
anti-inflammatory and it is antioxidant so it will help scavenge the free radicals and protect our
skin, this is stunning moisturizer with spf or tinted sunscreen, it is actually unisex so
no matter what your gender is you can wear it no problem, it's just really nice hydrating
and gives you proper protection and i absolutely love it and i will definitely purchase it again
