Earth Harbor Naturals - EastCoastLiving review for Celestine Hydra-Plumping Peptide Serum

I came across Earth Harbor in sets of its miniature trial sets at the store while trying to find a new serum for my skincare regimen. I looked at literally every other serum on the shelves, from pricepoints starting at $15 to exceeding $60. I noticed the first or second ingredient was almost always water. Like with lotions, having water at the top of ingredients is not a good sign. Ingredients listed in cosmetic products are in cascading order of predominance. With the other serums, after water was a list of common and widely available oils, additives, and synthetically derived thickeners, while the flashy ingredients they touted on their outside labels were at the near end of the list. If I'd wanted that, it would be easy enough to reproduce that at home in greater quantities and much lower cost by buying the raw ingredients. As I was getting frustrated, I took a closer look at the package of the trial sets from Earth Harbor on the shelf. I had initially considered them because I was looking for a full-sized product. With Earth Harbors products, I immediately noticed the departure from the advertising gimmicks. A straightforward design and presentation with the list of ingredients speaking for themselves. With Celestine, hydra-plumbing peptide serum, pomegranate fruit juice extract was the first ingredient, followed by aloe vera leaf juice, then pomegranate seed oil--I was very happily surprised. I immediately took a picture of the set, and when I arrived home, I got online and ordered this serum. I received the product this morning, and my expectations have been exceeded. The consistency was more substantial and not slick or overly oily and watery like other serums. The serum was absorbed quickly and had a lasting and noticeable difference in my facial skin texture. The smell was natural and pleasant. True to the product's claims, this serum is hydrating and replenishing. I could feel the difference immediately, and now, nearing 10 pm, its use has made a tangible change in the level of moisture retention in my skin. I have already gone to their independent site and ordered several more of their skincare items. I came here first due to the fast shipping guarantee and immediate need. As someone with sensitive skin, it was important to note this product was also soothing and helped reduce inflammation. The only thing I would change is listing the ingredients on the bottle--perhaps only because I've become so smitten. That is not something I'd ever seen with other serums have done, and I do enjoy its minimalist design
