Iconic Elements Firming Booster Serum: Innovation in a Dispenser

Iconic Elements Firming Booster Serum: An innovative retinol alternative for firmer and hydrated skin

Are you looking for a serum that firms your skin, slows down signs of aging, without skin irritation? The Iconic Elements Firming Booster Serum is a product that promises to firm the skin, and offers a powerful alternative to traditional retinol with less chance of skin irritation.

The Iconic Elements Firming Booster Serum comes in a patented 30 ml glass dispenser. This serum is enriched with powerful ingredients such as Bakuchiol, Cyclopeptide-5, and white tea extracts.

What makes the Firming Booster Serum so special?

• Bakuchiol: This plant-based alternative to retinol, without the irritations often associated with retinol use. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Learn more about Bakuchiol
• Cyclopeptide-5: This is a unique peptide in skin care products, with an unusual circular structure that fits skin receptors better than the traditional elongated peptides. This shape enhances the effectiveness in binding to receptors, thereby stimulating cellular functions such as cell renewal and collagen production more efficiently. It improves skin texture and elasticity, making the skin feel firmer.
• Hyaluronic Acid: The ones we use have different molecular sizes, allowing it to be distributed more effectively through the skin. Smaller molecules penetrate more deeply, hydrating underlying skin layers and boosting elasticity. Larger molecules stay on the surface, forming a hydrating barrier and reducing moisture loss. This combined approach results in an overall improvement in hydration, texture and firmness of the skin.
• White Tea Extract: White tea is known for its antioxidative properties that protect the skin from free radicals and contribute to the reduction of signs of skin aging.
• Patented biophotonic glass dispenser: Filters light to preserve the ingredients and maintain the effectiveness of the serum.
• Also suitable for sensitive skin: Free from parabens, silicones and retinol, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

User Experience

After 4 weeks of using the Iconic Elements Firming Booster Serum, I noticed that my skin felt firmer and smoother. The serum has a light, non-sticky texture that quickly absorbs into the skin, making it easy to incorporate into my daily skincare routine. It is an excellent base for makeup and other care products.

Very nice product against skin aging without irritating the skin. 

Why only after a minimum of 4 weeks effect and not instant?

The process of stimulating collagen and elastic fibers in the skin and the visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles can take some time. Generally, the first improvements begin to appear after about four to six weeks of regular use of products that promote collagen production, such as those with bakuchiol or retinol.

For more pronounced results, such as significant reduction of deeper wrinkles and improvement of skin texture, it can take three to six months. This is because the skin needs time to generate new cells and replace older, damaged cells, which is a gradual process. During this time, it is important to remain consistent with the skincare routine and use the products according to the recommended instructions. It is also crucial to protect the skin from further damage by exposure to the sun, which can accelerate the aging process and reduce the effectiveness of the skincare products.

Claim: Instant effect is temporary and optical effect

Some brands claim that they can deliver instant anti-aging effects. These claims are usually based on the presence of ingredients that provide immediate, but often temporary, visual improvements. This can be achieved, for example, by using silicones that fill in fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look smoother and tighter immediately. Other products may contain light-reflecting particles that give the skin an instant glow, optically enhancing a youthful appearance.

However, these effects are usually cosmetic and temporary, which means they do not really address the underlying signs of skin aging. For long-lasting and sustainable results, it is necessary to use products that affect the skin’s biological processes, such as stimulating collagen production, which takes more time.

Comparison with other products

Compared to other serums from two popular brands:

Product 1: The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane

Benefits: This product contains retinol, a powerful anti-aging ingredient, and squalane feels nice on the skin and the price is good.

Disadvantages: High concentration of retinol can cause skin irritation in many people, especially at higher concentrations. Particularly for people with tinted skin, this can lead to burning sensations and pigmentation spots.

Product 2: Paula’s Choice Pro-collagen multi-peptide Booster

Advantages: Contains a mix of different peptides that firm the skin and reduce fine lines, and the combination of glycerin feels pleasant on the skin. And bacillus ferment has many beneficial effects for your skin such as hydration, soothing and anti-oxidant effects.

Disadvantages: This product is more expensive and does not have the natural alternative to retinol like Bakuchiol. Dimethicone is an ingredient that gives an instant anti-aging effect, however, the effect disappears after skin cleansing. Finally, this product contains microplastics.

Recommendation

Morning Routine:

Here are step-by-step instructions for integrating the Firming Booster Serum into both your morning and evening routine, with other Iconic Elements products for optimal results.
Step 1: Cleansing
Products: Iconic Elements Cleansing Milk Step 1 & Cleansing Lotion (Step 2).
Begin your morning routine by cleaning your face. First, use the Cleansing Milk to remove impurities and excess oil. Follow this up with the Cleansing Lotion for a deeper cleanse and to refresh and prepare your skin for the next steps.

Step 2: Firming Booster Serum
After cleansing, apply a thin layer of Firming Booster Serum to your face and neck. Use upward, rotating movements to evenly massage the serum into the skin. This serum helps to firm the skin and provides deep hydration.

Step 3: Protection
Options: Day Cream with Natural UVA-filter or Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF30.

Finish your morning routine with the right protection.
Day Cream with Natural UVA Filter: This cream offers basic protection against UVA rays, which is enough for days when you are mostly indoors, such as during commuting or office work. It helps protect your skin from harmful UVA rays that can lead to premature skin aging.
Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF30: For days when you spend a lot of time outside or when you need more protection, such as during active outdoor activities in the spring and summer, you use the Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF30. This offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, and HEV rays and evens out your skin tone with a subtle tint without white residue.
