Copper Amino Isolate Serum 2:1

I have noticed an improvement in the appearance of my skin since starting to use this product. My 54 year old skin seems brighter, less stextured and more even.

Okayyyy when I first got this, I felt like Neo from the Matrix. You know, the scene where he can take either the blue pill or the red pill. Maybe just because the copper bottle was blue (the other bottle is def not red!!) LOL! Anyways, when you open it, put the activator into the copper bottle...just a pro tip so you don't lose any of that copper goodness in the bottle! Shake it for a bit then its ready to go from there on out.

And goodness, this lil thing has DEFINITELY made a difference in my skin. My friends hate that my skin is already in pretty good shape but this took it even a few steps further and got it looking reallllll good!

I use mine after cleansing then apply a few drops, usually about 4-5 to cover my face and neck, let it absorb for a minute then I apply whatever serum I'm using (usually The Ordinary's Buffet) then either my Rose Hip Seed Oil or May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon if its in the evening. That's it! It's so easy to use and my skin definitely over time has looked much more bright, even, and I don't see any new wrinkles that are forming, so that is good. Sometimes I only use it 1x a day but I try to do 2x when I remember.

I believe the difference between the 1% and the 5% is that the 5% works more like an immediate fix for skin that has more texture or skin issues but the 1% is plenty for long term use. So if your skin is fairly okay condition already, you won't see much of a difference with the 5% (unless your skin realllly needs extra extra help) but the 1% works perfectly for over time results to maintain.

Despite what other skincare I might be rotating in my collection, this is definitely going to be a permanent mainstay as the first step in my routines =)

So 1st off, let me just say that this product is amazing and I truly love it. The ONLY reason for a missing star is due to how careful and aware you need to be of the packaging when using this product. I started my regimen when Hurricane Irma struck. I didn't want to miss a day during the initial 5 (or 7?) day period of letting the product take effect, so despite being without power I continued my nightly skincare routine by faint candlelight. That said, when I was using this product I was so focused on making sure I got it on my face that I lost track of where I set the bottle down. So when I went to put the dropper back in the bottle, I brushed my hand too low and knocked over the bottle at which point I lost over half the product. So I LITERALLY tossed about $50 down the drain (because apparently being without power for 6 days -meaning no A/C in 90+degree weather and 90+% humidity in Florida- wasn't bad enough) *sighhhh* :(. So if you're using this product, be sure you are EXTRA careful of where you set the bottle down. ESPECIALLY if you have a tendency to be clumsy. This product is the same consistency as water so if you spill it, you'll spill a LOT of product. Other than that, this really is a great product. All of my past scars from occasional pimples are GONE. In fact I'm convinced this product promotes immediate healing of any scars from the past and helps heal new ones like I've never seen before. My skin looks so much better overall. At 38 I was really starting to notice the aging process occuring and this product has helped so much to let time stand still. I truly recommend this product. Just be careful with the bottle, there's quite literally too much to use. At least I didn't buy the 5% version and have the mishap happen! Using the product day and night initially, it was easy to see that this product would've (should've!) lasted for quite a while. Unfortunately I had to reduce my usage to just nighttime since my budget got a bit wrecked due to the hurricane and all the subsequent repair and food replacement costs. It's still helping some, but not as noticeably as when I was using it day and night. So I recommend you use this product twice daily if you purchase it. Hopefully sooner than later I will have the budget to buy this again to use day and night. I also definitely recommend buying the bigger size as it's such a better value. Give this a try, Beautylish is an amazing company and if this doesn't work out for you, then their amazing customer service will help you with a return. But I believe it's a truly amazing product that you'll want to keep.

I seen reviews of people saying you have to wait months to see results and maybe for some that may be the case, but I saw immediate results. I have itchy little red bumps on my cheeks that would not go away no matter how much I moisturized my skin and I finally found something that made it go away immediately. I have only used this serum twice, once last night and today in the morning. I am so amazed of how quickly it calmed my skin and I am so excited to see how my skin looks after using it for a few months. I have found my HG product. I will forever have this in my skincare routine. Thank NIOD.

It takes about 5-6 days of use to show result, but for a baby boomer who hates getting old, it is a really great product. Love the Ordinary products so much!
