"After using Revea's facial scanning through my iPhone, the platform created two personalized products that would aim to help with brightening my complexion and creating an even skin tone, which are two things I desperately needed help with. My AM serum included vitamin C, which I was already using, but it also added in carnosine and coenzyme Q10, which were two ingredients I wasn't familiar with and had never previously used. I found that the serum itself was silky smooth and didn't leave my skin feeling sticky or tacky, and I liked that it wore well under makeup without pilling. However, I did notice that I began breaking out a few days after I began testing, which I think may have been in part due to the vitamin E in the coenzyme Q10.
My PM serum also included vitamin C, which was a bit different for me because I typically only use that ingredient during the day, but I actually found that I liked adding it into my nighttime routine. The serum also included hexylresorcinol (which I still have no idea how to pronounce) to minimize hyperpigmentation, and marrubium extract to protect my skin from pollution. My PM serum was creamier than my AM serum, and I found that combining this serum with the brand's moisturizer left my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated in the morning when I woke up." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer
