Road Test 

There are three skin care ingredients which I include in my daily regime, whether I’m at home or on the road. Two are vitamins C and A, and the third is hyaluronic acid. The primary reasons for the third ingredient are that hyaluronic acid not only gives your complexion an instant boost, but it also helps to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles by attracting and retaining moisture to the skin. Essentially it’s a wonderful skin plumper, not only great for everyday use at home, but especially useful for travellers whose skin may be exposed to the elements or traumatised from long haul flights. While there are a number of skincare products which contain hyaluronic acid, from cleansers to moisturisers and everything in between, one way to ensure you are getting a decent daily dose is by using a dedicated serum. REVOLUTION Skincare is a new and affordable skincare range from UK; you might have seen its products at your local Priceline, or on social media including Instagram and Facebook. After officially launching in Australia in 2019, the brand offers not only active skincare products that promise real results, but they’re all highly affordable priced between $12 and $20. Those in the know will tell you that budget skincare isn’t always about saving a few bucks, however, and that’s just one of the things I love about REVOLUTION. The first product I've road tested is it’s 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and from the first application I was impressed. Although I live in southeastern Queensland, which never really gets that cold or dry, my complexion complains when the humidity falls and I occasionally get minor dry patches on my jawline and the base of my nose. And that’s something which has become more frequent as I’ve aged. In recent years I decided to up the ante with hyaluronic acid - using a dedicated serum - so I was curious to see how this inexpensive product from a brand with a cult following would stack up. I used it for a few weeks, applying two drops to cleansed skin in the morning and evening before any other serums or my trusty skin oils, and I have to say from the first time I was impressed. The consistency of this serum is super thick, which means a little goes a long way, but within a couple of days of use those pesky dry patches on my face had disappeared. My skin looks hydrated, plumped up and fine lines have been minimised, and whether you’re at home or on your travels, what’s not to like about that?
