Truly Strawberry Glaze Glow Facial Serum

About TRULY: Truly is a brand that focuses on clean, vegan formulations for their skincare/ hair products. They believe formulating products with high performing skincare ingredients, and aim to become a “check all-boxes” brand when it comes to the line of personal care products that they offer.

Despite all this, I was disappointed in this product. Let's explore why:

SCORING	REVIEW
PRICE	Winners Price = $19.99 per 100mL ($0.20/mL). Full Price = $34.00 ($0.34/mL)
PACKAGING	Glass jar and glass dropper applicator
QUALITY	Slightly sticky on application, definitely more sticky once dried Smells super yummy (but definitely artificial) Poor absorption into the skin — unable to layer other products on top. Products would start pilling       when upon application
RESULTS	Did not notice much improvement on hydration or glow Would not recommend for dry skin as it did not provide much moisture throughout the day Pilling definitely an issue, especially since serums are supposed to be the base layer for additional skin care products
	**looks like this product was discontinued and is no longer on their website. I would still be open to trying their other products. Perhaps they discontinued it to improve product quality/pilling issue.

OVERALL RATING: 1/5

Review update : I wanted to give this product another honest try. Was it the other products I was using that was causing the pilling? Was I not using the correct creams and that’s why my skin was getting so dry and dull?

The answer is no. I tried it with several different day creams, lotions, serums…and same thing. It felt like the product could not truly absorb into my skin, but left a sticky superficial layer, and felt as if it was preventing the other products I was layering on from absorbing into my skin. 

So final rating: Still 1/5. The only thing I did like about it was the cute colour and packaging. it is what it is /:
