My honest review of The Ordinary's Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% Serum
Resveratrol has been around for quite some time now and has been included in many higher-end skin care products. Most notable of these was a product serum, similar to this serum but made by SkinCeuticals. However their version only has 1% of Resveratrol.
Ferulic Acid is also a great higher-end skin care ingredient and was included here in this serum to aid skin penetration and boost the anti-oxidant effects of the resveratrol.
Both of these ingredients are considered "super-anti-ageing" ingredients, due to their powerful anti-oxidant effects on the skin.

Strengths
Extremely light-weight, oil-based serum. Soaks into the skin very rapidly and provides an instant anti-oxidant boost to tired and dull looking skin. I found it was best used before moisturiser and after using any water-based serums.
Weaknesses
I tend to get a slight warming sensation on the skin as soon as I apply this serum. Which is not a bad thing, but can be an unexpected sensation.

My Opinion
I have loved how this serum is so light and how it soaks into the skin so rapidly. I can really tell the difference in skin texture and luminosity after using this serum. I have been using it in the evening to allow the full potential of the resveratrol to work its magic overnight while I sleep. A new staple product for my night-time routine.
Would I buy it again? A resounding YES! In fact it's a regular purchase of mine.
