Saucy Skincare Review: Body Merry Hyaluronic Acid + 2.5% Retinol Serum!

How exciting is that (see title above)!??! A hyaluronic acid serum with 2.5 % retinol! WHUT. So the idea here is that the serum is going to hydrate and plump, as hyaluronic acid does, as well as provide all of the loads of benefits that retinols do for our skin- plump, firm, even out skin tone, fight blemishes, etc. Hell yeah!

Here's what Body Merry has to say about this stuff:

Hyaluronic Dew Serum:
Morning dew is nature’s reminder that we all need moisture to kick start our day. This premium hydrating serum contains plant derived Hyaluronic Acid that provides the perfect amount of ‘dew’ to last throughout the day. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Green Tea add that extra punch, leaving your skin smooth and nourished.
Pro-A Serum:
Much has been said about the power of Retinol in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and its not without reason. This professional grade 2.5% retinol serum lets you truly sink in all the goodness of Vitamin A. Plant derived Hyaluronic Acid adds the much needed hydration and Green Tea works its charm as a powerful antioxidant.

Plus, they had this to say about other ingredients on their website:

The wildness of Retinol is tamed by Plant Derived Hyaluronic Acid, which locks in moisture to effectively minimize dryness or irritation. Because of their high antioxidant content, Green Tea and Vitamin E work beautifully together to prevent and diminish the signs of aging.

 

The formula does not contain any parabens, sulfates, phthalates, fragrances or alcohol. The KEY ingredients are:

 

The Hard Hitters: 2.5% Retinol + Plant Derived Hyaluronic Acid

The Organic Ones: Green Tea + Aloe + Jojoba Oil

Just Some of the Others: Vitamin E + Witch Hazel + Wheat Germ Oil + Wildcrafted Propolis

 

Okay, so there you go. These guys are straight-up with what they put in their product. In addition, the 2.5% retinol is the highest potency available. 

This product is definitely something you'll want to try out, trust me. Let's recap again::: it's going to help prevent aging due to... well, everything in the bottle. Jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid hydrate. Retinol will fight blemishes, even skin tone, and give that "glow." Vitamin C will also help with the glow and skin toning, but is also a potent antioxidant (green tea is as well). Aloe is soothing. Witch hazel will help to fight blemishes. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant, as well as an anti-inflammatory (so, it will also help to calm and soothe). Either way, this product is a great investment to have in your medicine cabinet and use daily. If you're young (say, in your 20s), be proactive! It's never too early to take preventive measures for your skin! Plus, remember, blemishes? Yeah. Those. We hate those. 

 

Now, there are a few things to remember with this product. Previously, I've talked about how one should apply hyaluronic acid to the face while the skin is still damp. Well, not in this case. Because of the retinol and what not, Body Merry states that you should actually apply this product when the skin is dry, after cleansing and toning. Also, because this retinol is pretty potent and can be irritating for first-time users, ease your way into this stuff if retinol is a new thing for you. For example, apply this product every other day instead of every day. 

And I'm out! You can buy this bottle of deliciousness at amazon for 29.99.
