Review of Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel
By Antonietta L.
Packaging
This Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel comes in a white glass bottle with a pump dispenser inside a simple yet beautifully designed carton box. The carton box is made in part of recycled fibre and the rest from FSC certified fibre.
Application
This Jurlique Recovery gel has a very light gel-type texture and one or two pumps are enough for the whole face and neck, so a little does go a long way. I have been using the serum for a month now. It absorbs quickly, however at first I always experience a slightly tingling sensation which disappears after a minute or two. I also experience a tightening or firming effect on my skin which I assume are the active ingredients doing its work. During the day I use it under Jurlique balancing day care cream which is an absorbing moisturizer ideal for the summer months. Both work very well in combination. During the night I have been using the serum on its own as its light texture feels nourishing enough.
I have normal to combination skin, but I’m prone to allergic reactions to some cosmetics or moisturizers. This serum has left my skin feeling silky and smooth and I haven’t experienced any adverse reactions. On the packaging the Jurlique Herbal Gel claims to restore, firm, hydrate and revitalize the skin. It doesn’t promise magic or wonder results, so I think it fulfills its claims.
Something I am not particularly fond of is its smell, probably as it comes from one of its herbal ingredients, I couldn’t really say which. But it doesn’t stay long once applied and it’s not like you have to cover your nose avoiding the smell (other people may find it rather pleasant…).
Ingredients
Jurlique products are made with herbs and flowers harvested by hand on organic and biodynamic farms. The ingredients list on the Jurlique gel includes evening primrose, licorice, chamomile, calendula and rose hip oil. All of which are known for their nourishing and anti-oxidant effect. There is no parabens so I’m quite happy that the product comes with an expiry date, which is what you expect from a product made mainly of natural ingredients without artificial preservatives.
Results
After using Jurlique Herbal Recovery gel, I haven’t experienced any adverse reactions and my skin feels quite smooth. However, I can’t say that my skin has been transformed or left looking ten years younger. I think this serum works really well as a maintenance product.
Pros:
It feels soothing on my skin and I have not had any allergic reactions.
It had a firming effect on my skin.
It works well under a richer moisturizer and under make-up.
Cons:
The smell is not very pleasant.
