Pestle & Mortar Hyaluronic Serum

Recently, a friend of mine forwarded to me an article she read in the New York Times about Pestle & Mortar's Hyaluronic Serum.  I read the article and immediately felt that I had to order this amazing product.  I swear, that's how promising this article made the product out to be. So, I logged on to their website and ordered their serum.  And, let me tell you, I got lucky because if you attempt to order it now, you'll notice there is currently a wait list as the item is sold out.

Pestle & Mortar is a small Irish family owned company that is also relatively new.  The company was founded in 2014, when its owner wanted a skin care solution that actually delivered results.  With that, Pestle & Mortar was born.  You can read their story here.

I've had oily skin all my life but recently my skin has been experiencing some major issues with dryness. I've never dealt with this so I had no idea how bad it could get. Literally, peeling off patches of dry skin. I've never really used serums consistently in the past.  If I bought one and used it, great. If I ran out and hadn't repurchased in a while, I was OK with that as well.

I've been using Pestle & Mortar's serum since it arrived in the mail ten days ago.  While by no means is this long enough to see the full benefits of the serum, I can honestly say that I have noticed some difference in the texture of my skin -- especially around my dry patches which are no longer there!

Hyaluronic acid seems to have gained great popularity recently although I am sure it has enjoyed popularity in the past.  This product is extremely light weight and is paraben and fragrance free.  In fact, there are very few ingredients that make up this serum, which is ALWAYS what you should look for in skin care products.  The less ingredients the better.

I apply 2-3 drops (Really! that is all you need) on my face and my skin immediately drinks it up.  After washing my face and patting it dry, I immediately apply the serum first, allow that to soak into my skin, and then follow up with a moisturizer.  I follow this routine both during the daytime and night time.  The serum does leave my skin with a very soft and velvety texture.  In the few days that I have been using this serum, I have definitely noticed some plumpness return to my skin and I no longer have that tight and itchy feel when I wake up in the morning.  I am left with very luminous and super hydrated skin.  I am definitely looking forward to see what other positive changes my skin will undergo with this product.

As for the price tag of the item, $69 may seem a lot for one ounce of product, however, I feel that since you don't use so much of it, it should last you for a long time.  But, when it comes to your skin, I feel that, for me, price isn't that much of an issue.  If a product does what it claims to do, then it's ok.  And so far, this product does do what it claims...and that's only after using it for ten days! Ultimately, the choice is yours if you want to spend the money on this product.  It's definitely not on the affordable side but it's one of the few products I've used that I have been extremely pleased with.
