Serum T.E.W.L. by Biologique Recherche review

As a person with dry skin and with a certain age, I am always on the look for a serum that helps my skin. I have heard about the T.E.W.L. serum for many years as it has excellent reviews. I always hesitated to try for its price as in my opinion is extremely expensive for a skincare product. But I decided to take the hit and try it. Here is my experience

My Review

My review: I had high expectations of the product for 3 reasons: for the company, the reviews, and the price. But unfortunately, did not meet expectations and my skin looked and felt dry.

I used it for 2 months hoping to see a difference in my skin and did not work. I have had other serums with much better performance. aka my holy grail Clarins Double Serum.

How I used: Daily, on my morning & evening routine skincare routine.

Why I liked the most: nothing

How long did it last: 2 months

Pecas’s score: 2/5. Poor

Will but it again: no.

Like many big companies they have a page on the website dedicated to their efforts on sustainability. And based on their report this year they are launching a more sustainable skincare line and making efforts to improve their packaging.

Sustainability score: 2/5
