Balance Active Formula

This has a too slow consistency near the eyelids, it's hard to spread and becomes uneconomical because you need to use more cream than is actually needed. Otherwise very lovely and gives a hydrated impression initially, but UNFORTUNATELY it crumbles after a while (even if you don't use any other product on the skin!) If it were a bit thinner in consistency, it would be much easier to apply.. and it wouldn't crumble .. then I would have just bought this, because it is so lovely when it is finally on the skin.. (until it starts to crumble after about an hour) It might be (crumbly) because too much cream has been applied, but it can't be applied in smaller amounts on thin wrinkled eyelids because the cream is too slow/thick in consistency! Could have been completely perfect... so keeping my fingers crossed for a change!

Have used up several bottles. Works really well with other products I use. Love the feeling of it and the gold glitter. Has a nice effect after application but hard to determine if it has an effect over time. The effect and feeling after application are definitely addictive for me since I started using it. (I usually don’t use makeup or glitter otherwise, so I don’t use it to sparkle and occasionally put on a concealer or a bit of cream blush on top) The serum has changed its name while I’ve been using it. Marine collagen to vegan collagen. I don’t know if the ingredients have changed... I’m on my first bottle with the new name. Have only used it a few times, haven’t noticed any major difference, not yet anyway. Hoping that it’s EXACTLY the same, because I’ve been so freaking satisfied so far! The rating is lowered because it has changed its name and possibly ingredients (?), so I need to get used to the new one. Also, it’s questionable whether it has an effect over time on the skin, so that’s why it’s not the highest rating! The effect at the moment after application has so far (with the previous name/ingredients) been top-notch and I haven’t noticed any reaction (like it crumbling) at any time with other products, so it has been a very reliable product so far. Always needs to be shaken before application, because the gold settles at the bottom and if you don’t shake it, you only get a little gold per time and then it gets way too concentrated with glitter when the product starts to run out. There is generally a lot of glitter/gold in this! I usually empty the pipette in the bottle and shake the product before I draw up product in the pipette... then the gold distributes well for each application and there isn’t a thick gold sludge in the bottle when the product starts to run out.

I've bought this several times. Feels a bit strong on the skin but doesn't give me any unwanted reaction, so I'm satisfied. Used in periods over a longer time. Strongest concentration of niacinamide I've found.
