The Serum: Korres Black Pine

I like to think that I don't yet have any noticeable wrinkles, they say "black don't crack" but I have seen evidence that this is not always true! So I have taken it upon myself to start taking better care of my skin (don't they say prevention is better than a cure?). With this in mind I picked up Korres Black Pine Antiwrinkle, Firming and Lifting Serum Waitrose £39.00 30ml The main ingredient is Black Pine

"Black Pine extract – rich in polyphenols combined with Black Pine derived Epigallocatechin, protects and strengthens the connective tissue, while working towards boosting its resilience and firming. Epigallocatechin has strong anti-inflammatory properties combined with exceptional firming action as well as protecting against free radicals and collageneses."

Korres Face serum feels great on my skin, I've been using it over a week, and it is moisturising enough to wear alone and it is suitable for all skin types. There are a lot of serums and creams like this available, some people including myself have questioned the result of these youth boosting 'miracle' products I guess only time will tell. Korres however are an amazing brand. The Black Pine serum is

• 93.7% natural content; all packaging components are fully recyclable 

• Mineral oil-, paraben-, silione- and phthalate-free 

• Not tested on animals; suitable for vegetarians and vegans 

Plus I'm in love with he sleek design and packaging, For beauty eco geeks check out the Korres website for their story and you can purchase Korres products in the UK from Waitrose stores nationwide and online
