One month with Natura Bisse Essential Shock Intense Complex
Serums are the real workhorse of any skin care routine: They offer intense treatment via the most lightweight formulations, easily penetrate into the skin while delivering the active ingredients we love deep down to the skin cells that need them.
There are so many serums on the market though, it can be hard to pick The One.
Well, we have just found a miracle anti-aging serum that literally transforms your skin: Natura Bissé Essential Shock Intense Complex.
After continued use, the formula combats sagginess, redefines facial contours, reduces fine lines and the depth of wrinkles and refine skin’s overall texture.
The price tag is high, but given the brand’s impressive celebrity following (we are looking at you, Beyoncé) we deemed it worthy of a test drive.
Texture-wise, it’s perfect: light and quickly absorbed, but nourishing, too. You only need one small pump and it layers on nicely underneath everyday moisturizer.
Results-wise: it’s magic.
Natura Bissé refers to its Essential Shock Intense Complex as a mini facelift. And it is pretty accurate. We saw noticeably tighter and firmer skin almost instantly—for real.
The lightweight, moisturizing serum is infused with nutrient-rich ingredients that will make your complexion look and feel rejuvenated and refreshed. And honestly, we look like we’ve just woken up from the most restful sleep of our life – yes, it is that good.
Essential Shock Intense Complex from Natura Bisse is a powerhouse of anti-aging ingredients.
Its intensive formula is infused with a potent cocktail of essential amino acids, reparative antioxidants, and hydrating hyaluronic acid. Capable of absorbing and holding up to 1000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid keeps our skin supple, plump and smooth.
So good, we can’t get enough.
How to use Natura Bisse Essential Shock Intense Complex?
