Hellooooo! I was recently approached by a fab new natural skin care company - Peachy Fox London! They're a quirky little brand who believe in purity, with all natural ingredients that work for your skin. They create each product in the UK, leaving "the nasties at the door". Sounds great! They kindly gave me the Aloe Retinol Serum and the Anti-Redness Facial Cream to have a go with. They have a website and it's also available on Amazon to purchase.
Starting off with their serum, it's a clearly, medium-thickness gel-like formula that is refreshing and ever so slightly sticky when first applied (exactly like Aloe to be fair!), but absorbs to leave skin feeling fresh and smooth fairly quickly. It sits well under makeup and gives enough hydration to last through the night, too! It smells fresh and clean and all things lovely, so if you like products with a more hydrating, gel-like texture that absorbs quickly and smells light, this is for you! I think this will help plump out the skin and get rid of darkness, so I can see it being a big hit with 99% of skin types!
The moisturiser is creamy and also light; one pump is enough for the whole face. The scent is slightly more floral and herb-like, so i find it clashes slightly with the scent of the serum, but once it's absorbed you can't smell either so it's not an issue! Each smells lovely on it's own, and this does have a cooling, moisturising sensation when applied. It's packed with lovely organic ingredients to help get rid of redness, which I have an abundance of in my skin, so I'm looking forward to using this up and seeing if there's a difference!
I think this is a really lovely brand. The pump reminds me of a clinical cream and stops working occasionally which is a bit annoying, but the logo and name is sooo cute - Peachy Fox, how adorable is that?! I love the natural, organic ingredients and I love the scents of both products, even if they do clash a bit when mixed together. I'm excited to keep trying these and see the long-term effects! Plus, they're so damn affordable! Under £15 for either the serum or moisturiser is an absolute bargain for something containing such pure ingredients! I think this brand is PERFECT for younger people looking to take care of their skin and prevent the first signs of aging (prevention is the cure, after all!) Meli X
