Frances Prescott Tri-Serum, 3-in-1 Facial Serum to Regenerate, Firm, Tone, and Repair Skin Barrier Function I 30 ML, 1 FL OZ

Frances Prescott Tri Serum is an oil-based serum that blends a long list of oils and botanicals. I like the consistency of the oil - it’s thin and fairly lightweight. It’s a slightly yellowish color with a hint of a botanical smell to it – nothing too strong or overpowering. I usually prefer unscented products, but make an exception for naturally derived botanical scents. There is no added fragrance and I really like that – usually a show-stopper for me. This just smells natural and pleasant the scent dissipates fairly quickly. I have been applying this morning and evening after cleansing for about 2 weeks now. I make sure my skin is slightly damp to help absorption and then I put three or four drops in my palm. I rub my hands together to warm it up and then apply with a circular motion to my skin. I usually allow several minutes between applying the oil and moving onto the next step in my skin care routine. The oil absorbs fairly well into my skin within a few minutes and I’m ready to apply moisturizer. I have mature skin that tends to get dry if I don’t keep it well cared for and hydrated. This serum does a great job of repairing the moisture barrier on my skin and locking in moisture! I’ve noticed over the past 2 weeks that my skin looks glowy and hydrated. I can see that the increased hydration is helping to minimize the fine lines around my eyes/mouth. I also feel like this helps my foundation apply more smoothly and evenly. I’m really loving this serum!

Sure, at $119 (today's price) for 1 fluid once of facial serum, that's a mighty hefty price. Even with the 30% off coupon being offered now. However, one must also consider that you need to use only a very tiny bit to cover your entire face. Believe me, only a very little bit goes a long, long way. That's because this is more of a cross between a facial serum and a facial oil. You do not want to overuse this at all or it will just get too messy and oily feeling. When tempered and used a drop or two at a time, this works well to help moisturize and condition your skin. As you can see, it comes in a bottle with a nice glass dropper. The dropper is the sort that I like because not only is it glass, but it has that little curve along the bottom that makes it easier to control. That's especially important with this serum with it being loaded with emollients making it somewhat oily. Just apply maybe two drops along the skin. Massage that in as far as it will go. Then move along and apply more to the rest of your skin but sticking to using only a couple drops at a time. This is on the oily side and it's easy to go overboard if you use too much. Using only small drops will give you all you need and you'll maintain control of your skin balance. Because this is on the oily side, I was a bit leery of this on my mature combination skin. I can certainly use the moisturization, but I do have to be careful not to use too much. Once applied properly, my skin will be a little on the oily side at first, but given a little bit of time, it does fully absorb and works very well to condition my skin. When this happens, that excess oil completely goes away leaving my skin more supple and elastic. Moisturizes my skin and makes it nice and soft. Gives it a healthy glow and helps to diminish fine lines. Following up with your moisture cream will also help the viscosity so that it absorbs better into the skin. Within an hour's time, all was fine with the world again and my skin looked and felt great. Best for those with normal to dry skin with it being more suited for those with mature and dry skin. Good for both men and women alike and good for all adult age groups.

This review is for FP Tri-Serum, 3-in-1 Facial Serum to Regenerate, Firm, Tone, and Repair Skin Barrier Function I 30 ML, 1 FL OZ This serum comes in a bottle with a glass dropper. I didn't realize this was an oil based serum until I used it. I have combination skin and oil based products just makes my face oilier and feel heavier than with other products. It's not completely heavy, but maybe it's because I'm not a fan of the feeling that oils leave on my face that it feels "heavier" than my other skin products. Unfortunately, this also has an unpleasant scent which to me is kind of herbal. This serum also has fragrance added though... Which I don't really like because I have sensitive skin and am quite sensitive to scents. It does leave my skin a bit oily until the product has time to absorb, absolutely do not put too much of this product on unless you want an extremely oily face. I would probably use more of this product with my skin type but because I live in an environment that is hot and humid, the climate really doesn't help with oily products on the skin. If you live in a cooler climate or you have dry skin/normal skin, I think this product would work well for you. I have to say, for the price of the product you really don't need much at all to cover the entire face, I tried to use as little as possible and ended up with one drop which was able to cover my entire face. So while the product is expensive, you seriously do not need much product for the entire face.

Francis Prescott has a reputation for making great skincare, and I think this product is going to workout great for me over time. Only three drops in the palm of your hand is needed. Rub your palms together and you can feel the heat generated. Apply with your fingertips in an upward motion. Afterward my skin is supple and has a bit of a bounce back affect. I think if you use this at night, it will be especially helpful in repairing your skin and allowing it to regenerate as you sleep. Give it a chance to absorb before applying a moisturizer. The product has an odor but it’s a pleasant odor in my opinion. A bit pricey, but you’re only using three drops at a time, so it should last a while.

I'm just gonna come right out and say that I don't love this product, it might just be a me thing but...I don't like it. I hate the smell of it, it's like the bitter smell of the rind of a lemon and it lingers for a long time. That smell gave me a headache, so putting it on my face was not a lovely experience for me. The pictures on the product page lead you to believe the serum is clear but the one I got is straight-up yellow, I don't truly care what color it is but it's a little misleading...I thought I got the wrong product. The product itself does make your skin feel immediately softer but I don't notice a change otherwise. This product is almost 120.00 USD, I expected more to be honest. Not in volume but more out of the product itself. A little goes a long way but you can get much cheaper serums that do the same. Overall, I don't like it and will probably end up giving it to my aunt. However, I think if you get something and it works for you then it is worth the price you pay. It's just not for me.
