TIA Review by Kim:
This serum has a really unique set of ingredients, the most interesting being the harake flax gel which is a mild astringent that claims to cause your pores to contract, preventing your skin from losing moisture for fewer lines and wrinkles. Harake flax seed oil is high in omega-3 and from the little research that I did, I learned that the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, the Maori, used harake for medicinal purposes. Harake contains enzymes that give it blood clotting and antiseptic qualities to help healing processes, and as a poultice it was used for boils, tumors and abscesses, as well as to treat varicose ulcers. The serum also has active manuka honey, an ingredient that has gotten a bunch of attention here on TIA. There's also rosehip oil, grapeseed oil, aloe vera, and lots of other nourishing ingredients. I was definitely intrigued.

Now, let's get down to what really matters, its effectiveness. I'll start off by saying what it didn't do. It didn't irritate my extra sensitive skin. This is a big deal, because I had been having little bouts of dermatitis and my skin was easily irritated. As far as firming goes, I actually did see a subtle effect. For starters, I should mention that I don't have sagging skin and so the product didn't really need to do any heavy lifting. But it did create a subtle tightness without that tight dry feeling. I used it for several weeks, and I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely interested in checking out more from this unique New Zealand line.
