Sorry for my absence the last week — Dan and I flew back home for my older brother’s wedding! 😀 Everything went very well at the wedding — it was so beautiful! I enjoyed the time I spent with my family SO much! But Dan and I are back home in California now, so just trying to get back into the groove of things. 🙂 I hope to do a post with pictures from both weddings very soon, so keep on the lookout for that! 🙂
But for today, I have a fun first-impression review to bring to you. 🙂

acids combined with Green Tea extract and Vitamin C help your skin

Additionally it protects skin from daily pollutants and weather damage

All these natural, age-defying ingredients are what make this serum

concentrated product; just a tiny bit every day will make your skin look
fantastic and revitalized. This unique, light gel will absorb deep to
reduce signs of aging and your skin’s elasticity and firmness.
With amino acids, essential vitamins, and Green Tea, it moisturizes

wrinkles develop. Using the Mineral Anti Age Serum daily will help skin
naturally restore its youthful health and appearance.
My First Impression Review…
Packaging…
I’ve been able to review a few of Adovia’s products and I like how they package all of their products. It’s very clean and polished looking. The Adovia Mineral Lift Facial Serum was in a smoky-glass bottle with a pump to dispense the product. I love liquid products that come with a pump, as it allows the product to stay clean and bacteria-free, so that was a major plus with this item. The bottle came encased in a really attractive box that ensured it arrived to me undamaged – and it did. They were really fast about shipping out this product, which is another bonus!
Product & Ease of Use…
For some reason, the pump on my original bottle wouldn’t work, which was unfortunate. But I contacted the company, to let them know of the error, and they were quick to offer my a replacement bottle at no extra charge. I really appreciate good customer service, so definitely loved how quickly they solved the problem. 🙂
The product itself is a very light-weight and thin in consistency. This allows for very easy application, and it doesn’t take long for this serum to soak into your skin and be dry enough to put another product on. I really like that! It can be irksome to have to wait several minutes between each step of your skincare routine as you wait for something to dry, so I always appreciate and love products that don’t take a lot of time to dry into the skin. 🙂
Any Major Likes & Dislikes…
Well, the fact that the bottle came broken might be seen as a dislike, but I can’t really make that claim — it was probably just a fluke, and since they were so quick to offer me a replacement, I in no way thought this downgraded the product. I liked the way the serum felt on my skin. I’ve never used a serum of any kind before this, but I certainly like having it in my routine now. 🙂 The price for the Adovia Mineral Lift Serum is on the high-end side — $49 — but if you are the type who wants to spend the money on worth-while skincare products, then this might not be so steep for you.
Final Thoughts…
I haven’t been using this product enough to see how much of a difference it made to my skin. I don’t really have skin that needs a ‘lift’ yet, but appreciate that those ingredients are in this serum — you can never start too soon on your anti-aging products, so I’ve heard. 🙂 All in all, this is a really wonderful product. If you are in the search for a moisturizing serum that will give your skin the vitamins it needs, I would recommend looking into this product, for sure!
Question for my Readers: How much do you spend on your skincare? Does drugstore do it for you? Or do you shop more high-end for your sensitive skin? I know I do a fair mixture of both for my picky skin. 🙂
Luz (Lucy) says
Is this serum something that can be used in the daytime under makeup ie. does it have ingredients that could cause sunburn in the day. I already put on so many things at night and I'm wary of mixing too many products at once.
Katie McCurdy says
Luz – I use it in the morning and at night, and I haven't noticed that it's too heavy for the day time. And while I am not in the sun a whole lot, I haven't seen an adverse effects. I know if you look at the product on Amazon, they list all the ingredients — maybe you could check that out and see if your skin is sensitive to any of the ingredients before purchasing.

I've discovered that it's never too early to use a serum! In fact, the earlier you use it the better. This one sounds like a winner!
Katie McCurdy says
Robin – Yes, I've heard that too! 🙂
