My Review
I have been trying this out for a couple of weeks now and I have been getting on really well. If you like your skin super hydrated and juicy looking, I think you will love this.
The texture is pretty unique. It’s a super light, bi-phase formula that feels like water. It sinks into the skin really elegantly, and instantly plumps and soothes.
You can use it in a few different ways. I have been really enjoying it after my regular serum and under moisturiser for an extra layer of hydration and glow. It is also excellent as the last step before makeup as a lovely glowy primer.
If I have wanted to top up my makeup – for a day to night transition if I don’t have time to start from scratch – this is amazing patted all over the skin to refresh the complexion for an extra layer of makeup. It’s such a multi-tasker and certainly delivers on the glow front.
I will have lots more MERIT Beauty reviews and swatch posts coming up, so make sure you stay tuned to the HOMEPAGE.
Keep me informed on all beauty news.
