At the beginning of October, I was invited by ESPA to the Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazar in Liverpool to hear all about their wonderful Optimal Skin Pro Serum*.
This serum isn’t targeted at any specific age range or skin type, they have developed it to have so many skin benefits for all ages and skin concerns. It is jam-packed full of skin benefits,
- Turmeric – to enhance skin radiance, brighten and even skin tone
- Rose Hip and Echium Oil – to promote healthy beautiful looking skin
- White Lupin – to powerfully increase elasticity and skin firmness
- Kalpariane Seaweed Extract – to lock in vital moisture
- Sunflower Seed – to actively strengthen skin and protect
- Vitamin E and Evening Primrose Oil – to protect and regenerate skin cells
- Balloon Plant – to lovingly calm and comfort
- Rose and Patchouli Essential Oils – to gently soothe and balance.
I’ve noticed my skin has been looking bright and blemish free and overwinter that’s not something I can usually say. I’ve been using this ProSerum since October 1st at least 3/4 times a week. I don’t solely use it at night as it works well when I put a little under my moisturiser in the morning, It isn’t greasy at all, my skin just drinks it up, it is very hydrating. Even having quite oily skin I find this doesn’t make me look shiny or oily.
This serum has slotted well into my skincare regime and added a step which gives my skin a lot of nourishment and helps to calm the redness in my cheeks and keep my skin looking healthy and bright. It has been quite the winter saviour this year. The ProSerum is available from www.espaskincare.com or in-store at Harvey Nichols or Liberty. £48 for 30ml.
I made a few cheeky purchases whilst at the ESPA counter and one thing I treated myself to was the Essential Clay Mask. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. The ESPA consultant recommended that I use the serum under the mask for an extra boost and this works so well. The Mask itself is great for clearing congestion and keeping excess oil at bay. I suffer from both so this mask was a welcomed addition to my weekly Sunday night pamper. The mask doesn’t dry hard on your face, it stays quite creamy and is cooling whilst on the face. This mask costs £27.50 for 55ml.
The packaging of all the ESPA products is so luxurious and I love that they incorporate the colour purple in their bottles and packaging as it is such a warm pretty colour & their products look great in my bathroom (always a bonus).
It is a brand I want to try more from in 2014 and I want to visit their counter in Liverpool for a relaxing facial and a consultation.
Products that are marked with an * have either been sent to me for my consideration or I’ve received at events. I’m under no obligation to review them on my blog. However if I do, the reviews are 100% my own.
That serum sounds beautiful! It’s a shame it’s so expensive! =[

I got a couple of ESPA products in my beauty advent calendar but I’ve neglected them until now, definitely going to try out the serum tonight!

You must try them. I passed those on to my friend, as I had this full size & she loved it. She has very dry skin and it helped keep it hydrated.
Wow, quite nice! Really hope i got a chance to try it 🙂
I love this product! The mini sample was a great introduction to the product! I really love ESPA as a brand, would love to try a few more of their products!

I have never heard of this brand before but it sound really amazing. Perhaps it isn’t as easily accessible in Canada though.

I think it was at one point only sold in Spa’s & now they sell their products in selected stores. I hope you’re able to find it near you.
Hi, I hope you don’t mind me jumping in. I work for ESPA and just wanted to let you know that you can buy ESPA skincare online in Canada through the ESPA USA website http://us.espaskincare.com/ . There is also currently a promotion where you can get a ProSerum sample when you spend over $100. I hope this helps.

The serum sounds so dreamy! May have to pop to Harvey Nics to check this range out. xx
You must pop in – they are lovely & have a great range of products
I’ve heard of Espa but never actually used anything. I always thought they were really expensive but it all does sound good. Maybe after pay day… 🙂

I have the serum and it’s so lovely isn’t it?! I’ve been trying to use it as sparingly as possible because of the price though. Love the sound of the mask too, the packaging is really nice! The lid looks like it would feel like granite or something 🙂 very posh xx
I am running out of my serum, and have been looking to get another one to replace it, and this looks really good, also love the sound of the mask too! I will have to see if I can get it near me!

I went to an espa spa a few months ago and the products are amazing. I really like the sound of the serum
This pro serum is fantastic, my usually sallow oily skin suddenly looks brighter and more even toned , even though i saw that it was £50 for 30mls i think its worth it for these results. Will be buying when this finishes.
