KORRES Quercetin & Oak Eye & Night Cream, Wild Rose Face & Eye Serum ,Basil Lemon Body Butter – Review

A few months ago I walked into my local Shoppers Drug Mart and was shocked and delighted to see a KORRES display. I had heard many good rumblings about KORRES through the years but had never tried their products. I was lucky enough to be contacted by Korres to review some of the line now that they have arrived in Canada. I’ve been testing the products for a month and they did not disappoint.

First up are two products from the Quercetin & Oak Antiaging Antiwrinkle Line.

Quercetin & Oak Eye Cream and Night Cream

Inspired by a NOBEL-awarded discovery on cell aging and fueled by two of nature’s
most powerful antiageing agents,  KORRES™  Quercetin & Oak is a clinically proven natural alternative to Retinol. It is so effective, that in independent clinical testing, Quercetin & Oak provided better, faster results than a leading luxurydepartment store brand and a leading dermatologist brand.

• Myrtle extract agent / anti-aging booster, helps to improve skin elasticity
• Mourera fluviatilis extract / has moisture-binding activity, which helps maintain the skin’s water levels
• Baobab polysaccharides / leaves skin looking and feeling firmer
• Rhodiola rosea extract / helps prevent the appearance of dark circles and eye puffiness

• Myrtle extract agent / anti-aging booster, helps to improve skin elasticity
• Mourera fluviatilis extract / has moisture-binding activity, which helps maintain the skin’s water levels

An ultra-concentrated vitamin C serum that brightens and smoothes the look of fine lines of face and eyes, suitable for all skin types. This formula, with Baobab-tree polysaccharide, in combination with a wheat proteins agent, provides a line-smoothing effect while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Wild Rose oil is a natural source of vitamin C, which is known to reduce the appearance of fine lines and skin discolorations.

Contains: Wild Rose oil, Vitamin C, Baobab gel, Ginseng extract, Quince extract, provitamin B5.

This serum is probably my favourite KORRES product I received. I have noticed fading of pigmentation and an overall evening and brightening of my skin tone. The texture of the serum is divine and I could even see it making a nice foundation primer if you don’t need extra moisturizer on top as I do.

Extra moisturising cream for dry skin. Also available in tropical: GUAVA, oriental: JASMINE and exotic and quintessentially Greek fragrance, FIG.

Smoothing and moisturizing cream for all over the body, ideal for dry elbows heels and knees.  Shea butter and Quince extract have softening, moisturizing and rejuvenating properties.  Sunflower, Almond and Avocado oils nourish the skin, thus helping to improve elasticity and smoothness.
Contains: Shea butter, Sunflower oil, Almond oil, Avocado Oil, Quince extract, Red Grape polyphenols, and glycerine.
