Makeup review: Skinworx

Lip Plump+Protect lip treatment, Phyto Correct Serum, and AHA BHA Brightening Scrub

• Lip Plump+Protect

The Skinworx Lip Plump+Protect is a multi-functional lip treatment with SPF meant to restore hydration and boost lip plumpness. 

I love that this formula contains multiple forms of hyaluronic acid and ceramides. These are both great for creating hydration and retaining moisture. I was impressed that they were in the lip treatment. Another thing I love is the soft doe foot applicator. I work from home and love that it gives a visible plump on camera and keeps my lips soft throughout the day since it has been snowing. This formula is tingly and gives results almost instantly. 

One concern I had was the broad term “Herbal Vitamins and Conditioners”. It would be nice if the brand elaborated on this for full transparency with buyers. Another concern I had with this product was the price. $55 for a lip treatment with SPF is pretty steep, but it’s good stuff!

• Phyto Correct Serum

The Skinworx Phyto Correct Serum is a soothing botanical serum meant to target skin that’s dehydrated, inflamed, and sensitive skin types like acne, rosacea, and sunburn. Some of the main ingredients include Green Tea, Hyaluronic Acid, and L-Ascorbic (Vitamin C) to help calm irritation and protect the skin from free radical damage.

What I love about the Skinworx Phyto Correct Serum formula is that it’s loaded with ingredients that are great for decreasing like hyaluronic acid for hydration, green tea for plumping and depuffing, and cucumber, elderberry, and hemp seed oil for calming and soothing the skin.

Overall, I really liked this phyto correct serum because it gave my skin a nice boost of hydration without feeling too heavy on the skin. I wasn't able to try it out on damaged or irritated skin, but plan to use it when this happens.

• AHA BHA Brightening Scrub

The Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub is a facial scrub meant to target clients dealing with hyperpigmentation, skin discoloration and dullness and mimic a microdermabrasion facial. The formula includes glycolic and salicylic acid for cleansing, healing, correcting, and treating lackluster skin, as well as removing dead skin cells that interfere with oil drainage of the skin.

I really liked the consistency of this formula because it’s thin enough that a little bit of the product (about a dime size) goes a long way, especially for scrubbing and exfoliating. Personally, I found that just a small amount was enough to give my face a gentle scrub because too much product felt a little too rough for me. One thing I didn’t like about this product was how messy the microfibers were. Even after multiple rinses, I still found the little beads in my hairline and around my nose.

I also don’t suggest using a physical exfoliating product too often because they can be damaging to the skin barrier and can leave little cuts on your face.
