Eco-Beauty Review: Saaf Organic Complexion Boosting Serum

I started using Saaf Organic Complexion Boosting Serum about two months ago, during the hot late summer months when my skin is normally an oil slick no matter what I do.  In the past I’ve tried all kinds of different products to battle the summer breakouts, from astringents to oil-controlling powders and creams.  Nothing has really worked, but after about a month of using this serum every night, I was surprised to realize that not only was my skin softer and more even, my pores appeared smaller and I hadn’t been walking around with a shiny face every day.

I admit, it’s a bit strange to slather my face in oil every night before going to bed when I’ve always fought against oily skin.  But somehow, this stuff works.  When I wake up, my skin is silky and blemish-free.  Though the directions advise using it twice a day, I skip it in the morning – but I’ve noticed great results nonetheless.

Information about the Organic Complexion Boosting Serum from the Saaf website:

Improves skin-tone & texture for normal/oily skin. Purifying and sebum-regulating botanicals (lemongrass and juniper berry) encourage the disappearance of blemishes, help to balance oily skin, clear breakouts, and improve skin tone and texture. Saaf’s Organic Complexion Boosting Serum is highly absorbent, with purifying, clarifying, cold pressed ingredients. Used regularly, these sebum-regulating ingredients encourage the disappearance of blemishes. And as a beautiful bonus, anti inflammatory Black Seed Oil also helps skin resist the ageing process, natural Vitamin E promotes soft and supple skin, Jojoba imparts a soft velvety quality to the skin and cold pressed Rosehip Seed Oil helps to reduce pigmentation by promoting healthy skin renewal. Expect the skin to present noticeable improvement in both texture and appearance.
