Sensitive Skin Anti Aging AND Barrier Repair Hydrating Serum with Premium Patented Plant Stem Cells. | THE NEW SKINCARE BY POWERV

This serum is a bit on the watery side, you can hear it when you shake the bottle. I believe this product is fragrance free but there will be a light smell from the mix of ingredients, almost sour, a little similar to what a vitamin c serum would smell like. However, the smell won't linger on too long especially after applying on to your face. I was honestly VERY pleasantly surprised at how this dries. It doesn't feel sticky or tacky, my face feels soft after use. Looking at the ingredients list I'm happy with what I see - no added fragrance, no silicones, no added colorants. It is too soon to tell what it does for wrinkles and lines but I never really get skincare products thinking it will do much to erase those things unless you are using it on a very long term basis. I hope it is working its magic since this is a pricey bottle of stem cell serum but I can't speak on the results right now. Moisturizing, it sure is.I do agree with a few people that say the packaging and bottle leaves a little be desired for a high price point, as it doesn't have a really luxe look that we're all used to seeing these days even if the product inside doesn't reflect the quality of the packaging. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because I like the ingredients list and also upon doing more research behind this brand, there seems to be real people especially the founder who seems to be passionate about creating a great serum. That said, it seems like they are upgrading their packaging based on feedback, which again shows that they are willing to adjust and improve based on consumers, which is a great thing.I don't know if the ingredients list posted on this Amazon is the correct one but I got the version from the box, posted below if you want to see what's in this stuff before purchase.Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Lecithin, C13-15 Alkane, Beta-Glucan, Gluconolactone, Propanediol, Isomalt, Panthenol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Argania Spinosa Callus Culture Extract, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP.

My skin feels so soft and hydrated after each use. Definitely enjoying this product!

PowerV is a new brand on the market, and I am often suspicious of new brands with premium pricing despite the fact they don't have the reputation to support it. I do have a background in money laundering and fraud investigations, however, and I like to do research on the brands I order from to determine if they're a fly-by-night situation trying to make a quick buck on people who don't know any better or if they really are trying to become an established and respected brand.As far as I can tell, PowerV is the latter. The marketing info on their website is impressive, and I appreciate that the founder is identified and associates herself with the brand on her LinkedIn, as well. I've seen new products with premium pricing with embarrassingly sparse websites and founders who don't appear to want to be associated with their products. PowerV gives a totally different impression, it appears that the founder cares deeply about her business and products. The science behind them according to their website seems compelling, but I'm not a scientist of any kind, nor am I really an expert in skincare ingredients, but it does look like there is actual effort being put in to become a recognized and trusted brand, which I appreciate.I was a little bummed about the packaging; the bottle that this serum comes in feels like cheap plastic, but the pump works well. I just expect high end packaging when I order products that have a high end price. I think of reputable brands like Omorovicza-- I have a similarly priced facial mist from them that has a heavy glass bottle, a pump that mists beautifully, and the thickest plastic cap I've ever seen. I don't love that the PowerV bottle is plastic because I'm paranoid about microplastics since learning the average adult has about 6g of them in their brain, which is enough to make a plastic spoon. Look it up, you're welcome. The founder's bio on their website also indicates that she tries to avoid endocrine disruptors in her products, and again, I'm not a scientist, but I'm pretty sure microplastics can be endocrine disruptors, so it would be nice to see this in a glass bottle in the future.That being said, my skin drank up the serum quickly and felt soft and velvety immediately after use. These are my very early first impressions of the product. It can take time and continued use to see real effects from almost any skincare product, but I didn't experience any irritation or negative effects, and I'll reiterate that I'm impressed with the claims of the science behind the ingredients touted on PowerV's website, even if I'm not impressed with how they were actually presented.I would cautiously recommend this serum after my first use, and I will continue incorporating it in my routine to see if there's any notable changes. I use and test a lot of skincare products, though, so it's difficult to attribute results to any one product or ingredient.I look forward to seeing how PowerV grows from here and I would happily test more of their products in the future based on my initial impressions.

I have been using this serum morning and night for about two months, slotting it between toner and moisturizer. The texture is a light water-gel that spreads easily and sinks in fast without tackiness. On my skin it delivers immediate hydration and a softer feel, and it layers well under sunscreen and makeup without pilling. I appreciate that it is fragrance free. There is a faint, earthy note right out of the pump, which fades within seconds.Performance has been steady and gentle. Within the first week my skin looked calmer and better cushioned, especially around the cheeks where I tend to get tight and reactive. Over the next few weeks I noticed smoother makeup application and less end-of-day dryness. Fine lines at the corners look a touch softer from the added hydration, though nothing dramatic. If your priority is barrier support and daily comfort, this fits nicely. If you are expecting fast wrinkle lifting, it is more of a slow-and-steady hydrator.The formula choices make sense for sensitive skin. Ceramides, beta glucan, and squalane give that cushy, moisturized feel, and the antioxidant story is a welcome bonus for daytime wear. It has been friendly with the rest of my routine, including a gentle retinoid, without any redness or sting.The reason I am not at five stars is presentation and perceived value. The bottle is lightweight plastic with a basic label, which does not match the premium positioning. The pump is smooth and sanitary, but the overall packaging feels budget. At this price tier I want something that looks and feels more durable on the counter. Results so far are good on hydration and comfort, just not transformative.Bottom line, this is an easy, non-irritating serum that keeps skin balanced and well hydrated and makes makeup go on better. If barrier care and a quiet, fragrance-free finish are your priorities, it delivers. I would happily keep using it for the feel and consistency, while hoping the packaging catches up to the formula.

Reviewing skin care products can be tricky. Receiving the full benefit of the product can take weeks, if not months. This review is based on my initial impressions.This is pricey, but everyone has different budgets for skin care, and I’ve spent this much, and even more for a single product in the past. If the price is not a concern, then keep reading!The packaging is not my favorite. I found the gold on black on the box to be hard to read. The box also seemed to have been printed and folded wrong. The raw edge of the box was visible from the front. In my opinion, this should have been printed and folded so that the raw edge faced the back. The plastic container felt like something that any company could produce. HOWEVER, if the product inside of it is exceptional, then the packaging is no longer a consideration for me. I believe that may be the case with this item.The company included a variety of promotional graphics describing the benefits of using plant stem cells. I also looked at the website, which has a TON of information. Everything from the science behind the product to clinical research. This is described as a structural strategy that focuses on everything from preserving the skin barrier to providing antioxidant defense against the environmental factors that stress our skin to supporting the skin on a cellular level. This skin care isn’t just surface deep. This is meant to nourish the skin at a whole other level…a cellular level.In terms of ingredients, the company has used the combination of clean ingredients to support the skin…astaxanthin, beta-glucon, ceramides, squalane, and environmental adaptogens. Check out the website because it contains information about the benefits of each of these.The product itself is odorless. It’s slightly thicker than a serum, but not as thick as a lotion. It has a slippery feel and it glides easily onto the skin. I was worried it might dry tacky, but I am happy to report that it completely absorbed into my skin without any stickiness.As someone with fair and sensitive skin, I always get nervous incorporating a new product. However, I had no reaction to this whatsoever. It is quite gentle, and my skin has felt soft and hydrated.So the big question is would I purchase this again? I think so. I’m definitely intrigued. The website is pretty convincing, but as always, the proof is in the pudding. While I may see some benefit within a month, or however long this bottle lasts, I really think this is a product that is going to need more time to demonstrate it’s true power of transforming the skin.
