Cosmedix Affirm Antioxidant Firming Serum

Skin type: Oily/combination

I really like this serum it feels lightweight and luxurious

I do notice that my skin looks firmer and smoother after I use this product. However, I find that it dries quite quickly and you can go through the bottle in a short period of time if you're not careful. It's also quite expensive so I only use it when I really need it.

I’ve been using this product for almost a year now, and it’s really helped my sensitive, combination skin. I’m early 30s and I’ve noticed my skin doesn’t flare up in heat anymore. I used to go really red with hot water, during facials or when using even mildly abrasive exfoliants. Fantastic product, which does take a little while to see a difference (at least 2-3 months), and though a tad on the expensive side, I will keep using for the time being

I started using this when I felt I needed a bit more firming after being recently diagnosed with menopause. I can't say that its made any difference. I won't be continuing it as part of my current regime which consist of C in the Morning A & B at night.

Affirm is honestly one of those fantastic all-rounder serums and I never can understand why it's not more popular! Such a hidden gem. Affirm contains hydrating ingredients and lots of antioxidants for the ultimate daytime moisture and protection. It is a very light serum which sinks straight into the skin. This makes it perfect for basically every single type of skin - from oily/combination (these types of skin still need hydration and antioxidants!) to drier and ageing skins (Affirm is fabulous to layer underneath more nourishing products).

Affirm doesn't have much fragrance at all - if I was pressed I would describe it as a very light/faint "Vitamin C" smell but that dissipates really really quickly. It also has no colour. But my goodness, when you apply it to just-out-of-the-shower skin, you can feel your complexion thanking you for giving it a nice big drink.

It is honestly hard to think of anyone who wouldn't love Affirm!
