BRAND FOCUS: PREVAGE

Today I'd like to talk about a selection of products from Prevage that I have been loving lately, the Prevage Anti-ageing Daily Serum, the Prevage Anti-Ageing Wrinkle Smoother, the Prevage Anti-Ageing Overnight Cream and the Prevage Anti-Ageing Neck & Décolleté Firm & Repair Cream.


Let's start with the Prevage Anti-Ageing Daily Serum. This daily serum is to be used 1-2 times daily and promises to help protect and correct the skin's appearance from environmental threats, a leading cause of visible ageing signs, for younger looking, more beautiful skin.

The key ingredient in the serum is idebenone, which is claimed to be the most powerful antioxidant available, helping to protect and correct the skin, diminishing the appearance of lines, wrinkles, minor scars, redness, age spots and sun damage for a younger looking skin.

I apply the concentrated serum morning and evening after cleansing my skin, and as it is very concentrated and spreads easily, i only need a few drops. It absorbs instantly, and leaves my combination skin really soft and smooth, ready for moisturiser. I am at the age where wrinkles and lines are creeping in, as are pigmentation and age spots, as well as I have marks and scars from past acne. And already after a few uses, I can tell that my skin is enjoying and benefitting tremendously from using this serum.

My lines seems to minimise, and especially a large frown line between my brows is clearly reduced in size, and my skin in general seems to be firmer. Acne scars and redness also seems to be minimised, as is the blotches of pigmentation across my face, so overall my skin simply looks more even toned, and has a radiant glow I haven't seen for a very long time - a long period of extreme stress has clearly affected my skin, but this serum, seems to have managed to turn back time, and make it look younger and more well-rested.

I also really love the silver pump bottle, that looks ever so stylish, and luxurious on the bathroom shelf.

Next is the Prevage Anti-Ageing Overnight Cream, which contains advanced idebenone technology to work in sync with the skin's sleep cycle and when your skin is most receptive to treatments. The cream helps fight visible effects of environmental damage and optimise the skin's natural moisture and repair capabilities, to minimise the appearance of lines, wrinkles, discolourations and sun damage.

As most night creams, this Anti-Ageing Night Cream is very intense, and border lining being too rich for my combination skin - or at least, it has been during the warmer moths when my skin seems to be getting slightly greasier, it wasn't until the weather cooled down, and my skin in turn also has become a little drier that I really found it suitable for my skin. 

And I have to say that this is another incredible product, as I can both see and feel the benefits of the cream - the following morning, I wake to a skin that is soft and smooth, and appears smoother. Lines and wrinkles plumped out and my skin simply looks healthier.

The cream comes in a silver jar, and has a unique dispensing system where you push the top of the jar to push out cream, which is really nifty so you don't have to continuously dip your fingers into the cream. My only wish is that there would be a lighter version suitable for combination and oily skin types so I could use it all year round!


The Prevage Anti-Ageing Wrinkle Smoother contains intensive idebenone hyaluronic acid derivative and potent amino acids to help deliver an targeted treatment boost to immediately fill and erase the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother look. It also contains biomimetic peptide and vitamin A derivative to support the skin's collagen and elastic to fight the appearance of lines and crows feet with continued use, and in addition, it also contains optical diffusers and soft-focus silicones to blur imperfections and illuminate the skin.

The treatment is to be used after your usual skincare, but before applying makeup. The Wrinkle Smoother comes in a small tube and has a clear soft applicator at the tip to ease application, which I really like. I've been using it where I predominantly need it, on the frown line between my brows, on some smaller lines on my forehead, and around my eyes, where lines are also creeping in. And you can really see that it has an immediate smoothing effect, as even with makeup on top, lines do appear minimised, and my skin clearly appears to be looking younger too when I am using this. And because you only use it where you really need it, the small tube does go a very long way.

Finally, the Prevage Anti-Ageing Neck & Décolleté Firm & Repair Cream. I am so guilty of neglecting my neck and décolleté - I have always looked after the skin of my face, hey even on my hands and body - and while I've happily invest in expensive skincare for my face, and good hand creams, for some reason, a basic body lotion is often what has been used on my décolleté. In recent years, however, if something, and in particular anti-ageing products haven't agreed with my troublesome combination skin, because the creams have been too rich causing congestion and breakouts on my face, I have however, often used those, very successfully on my décolleté. But actual Décolleté creams is a completely new territory for me!

This Prevage Anti-Ageing Neck & Décolleté Firm & Repair Cream contains, like the rest of the range, advanced idebenone technology as well as a protein restoring complex to help correct and protect the appearance of dry and delicate skin in the next and décolleté.

The rich cream is to be used twice daily, and immediately helps tighten and tone the skin, while adding intense moisture. And what I have particularly noticed, is that it has helped make my skin look smoother and younger mainly because the large cluster of pigmentation, dark spots and sun damage on my décolleté clearly is significantly reduced. My skin also looks softer and smoother, and those fine lines also seems to be less noticeable. I am truly amazed at the difference this cream has made.


Overall I am really enjoying using these products from the Prevage range, and I can see myself purchasing them all again, and trying additional products from the range too - adding an eye cream and a good day moisturiser wouldn't go astray either. The products do not come cheap, but they are seriously luxurious, and as the results speak for themselves, they are absolutely worth it - and they don't just look luxurious in their silver jars and bottles, they truly are luxurious too.
