This article is a review and ingredient report for Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum

What is Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum?

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum is a fast-absorbing, waterless eye serum packed with skin-restoring organic goodness to plump and treat the delicate eye area skin.

It is a small bottle with a big impact because Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum has a waterless formulation. This affords maximum absorption of the actives.

And the actives are amazing.

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum

Why Waterless Beauty

Waterless Beauty refers to when a skincare product formulation does not contain water.

Water is typically the first ingredient seen on product ingredient lists, sometimes comprising more than half of the product volume.

Instead of water, Waterless Beauty uses oils, ferments, butters and oil-soluble active ingredients.

There are no unnecessary fillers such as water, silicone, and alcohol in any Kat Burki product.

About The Patented KB5 Complex

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum contains something called “KB5™ Complex”.

Kat Burki uses their patented KB5™ formula base instead of water. Instead of actives being diluted, the pure active ingredients work at full force with KB5™.

KB5 Complex is five cold-processed extract essences. Together they create the proprietary KB5 Complex, a trademarked signature blend that replaces the water in all Kat Burki formulas.

This makes highly concentrated, pure, eco-conscious formulations. And they are also remarkably effective.

Lets take a closer look at the Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum formulation:

The Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum  Experience

Lightly tap – do not rub – this rich cream around the delicate eye area skin. Despite some powerful actives such as retinol and Vitamin C, it is luxe and soothing, so skin does not feel dry, tight or irritated.

The scent of Rosehips is pleasant but present. I prefer scentless products around the orbital area, but was lulled into making this product an exception.

The cream feel luxe yet surprisingly absorbs very well into the my skin. There is no residue left on the skin. This is a benefit of the waterless KB5 base – it enables actives to do their best work and get deep into the skin.

This makes quick work of smoothing fine lines and evening the skin tone.

Why We Love Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Face Serum

· 6 Comments

Niacinamide offers something to everyone. It fades discoloration. Niacinamide reduces acne, large pores, and fine lines. Niacinamide helps the skin generate ceramides, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen. Young or old, male or female, who doesn’t want healthier, brighter skin? So we were excited to try Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Serum. It is a 5% niacinamide in a vegan, organic formulation which makes this great active even better.

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

what is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin. The topical application of Niacinamide improves enlarged pores, fine lines, dullness, and a weakened skin surface. [1,2] It boosts hydration, fades hyperpigmentation and helps skin retain firmness. [3]

Niacinamide is great for sensitive skin that is unable to tolerate retinol.[4] Niacinamide is relatively nonirritating compared to other acne treatments. [5]

Niacinamide Research

Research shows Niacinamide has many benefits. Studies show that Niacinamide can:

  • Fade dark spots,hyperpigmentation, and discoloration naturally and gently. [6]  One study showed Niacinamide was less effective than hydroquinone. But in about two months, it did almost as good a job fading dark spots but without the side effects of hydroquinone. [7]
  • Provide pollution skincare. Niacinamide reduces the impact of environmental damage because it improves skin’s barrier [8]
  • Reduce the inflammation of rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions [9]
  • Treat acne. In a double-blind clinical trial of inflammatory acne, 4% niacinamide worked as good as an antibiotic. [10]
  • Regulate sebum production [11]
  • Make ceramides [12]
  • Hold skin cancer prevention properties:
“Niacinamide … prevents ultraviolet radiation (UV) from reducing ATP levels and inhibiting glycolysis, thus preventing the UV radiation‐induced energy crisis. This enhances DNA repair and reduces UV‐induced suppression of immunity” [13]

What Makes this formulation special?

While gentler than many actives, some people experience irritation with Niacinamide. This formulation contains buffers like Organic Sunflower Seed Oil and Organic Aloe Vera that nourish the skin.

Importantly it combines Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid which works synergistically.

The Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum organic ingredient list includes hyaluronic acid

Why Hyaluronic + Niacinamide Works

A feature of this Skin Daily formulation is the pairing of Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin, but it depletes as we age. Topical Hyaluronic Acid application replaces levels in the skin, giving a youthful glow.

This Skin Daily formulation pairs Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid

This Skin Daily formulation pairs Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid

Niacinamide makes hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is like a friend with VIP access; it uses its’ moisture pulling ability to draw active ingredients, like Niacinamide into deeper skin layers. The deeper Niacinamide can work, the better the overall skin appearance.

This means Hyaluronic helps Niacinamide make MORE hyaluronic in the lower layers of the skin.

It is imperative to use a moisturizer over Hyaluronic Acid, as it draws as much moisture as possible into the skin. If Hyaluronic Acid can’t get enough moisture, the surface of the skin can appear DRY, because the Hyaluronic is still “thirsty.” Fortunately, Skin Daily is packed with moisturizers.

This is a superior formulation with skin-friendly, natural, Niacinamide supporting ingredients. Let’s take a closer look:

Ingredients

Organic ingredients

Aloe vera nourishes delicate eye skin

Aloe vera nourishes delicate eye skin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice comes from the Aloe Vera plant. Aloe Vera provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth to treat acne and fight skin aging. It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It soothes irritation.

NIACINAMIDE

A natural skin brightener that reduces hyperpigmentation and fine lines with strengthening Strengthens skin barrier, brightens, improving fine lines, and reduction in hyper-pigmentation.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid gets “beauty secret weapon” status due to its’ ability to hold enormous amounts of moisture; it can draw moisture from the air, sucking it into the skin. This moisture drawing ability has a dual benefit. Not only does it make skin as plump and dewy as possible, creating an environment where the skin contains as much hydration as it can hold, but it uses this water drawing ability to pull active ingredients, like Niacinamide, deeper into the skin.

Style Chicks Glossary of Skin and Hair Terms. glossary definition on StyleChicks.com

Avocado

Avocado Fruit Oil

Avocado oil benefits the hair, scalp and skin. Avocado oil massaged into the scalp prompts blood flow to hair follicles. Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture of skin. Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C,D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[14]

Sunflower

organic Sunflower Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil heals sun damage and restores moisture. It deeply penetrates the skin to enhance elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production.

glycerin

Rosemary

Organic Rosemary Leaf Extract

Rosemary Extract combats dry skin. It naturally protects the skin from sun damage and free radicals. It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes.

Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E prevents the signs of premature aging by softening skin texture. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic. It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The experience

Apply a pea-sized amount to the face. Wait five minutes and apply moisturizer.

It doesn’t sting or leave skin red. There is no sticky or chalky dry-down. Makeup and sunscreen go over the serum without pilling. Leaves skin with a nice, even tone. Skin quickly looks brighter with daily use.

Just a pea-sized dot for face and throat

It can be used in tandem with a vitamin C serum. Only a small amount is needed per use. It leaves a nice glow and makeup applies evenly over it.

wHY USE A VITAMIN B3 SERUM

Redness around the nose and cheeks makes one look older, this is due in part by tiny capillaries that tend to break starting in the early 40’s, causing redness, especially around the nose. It is subtle, especially at the bottom of the nostrils, but it is there and makes one look older.

Adult acne can start at any time, often when anti-aging products are being concurrently used. Treating adult acne is more complicated than just drying the pimples as we did as teens.  Both these issues cause redness, and some skincare products such as peels can cause irritation.  Vitamin B3 can treat both acne and wrinkles at the same time without irritating the skin or causing it to feel dry and itchy.

INGREDIENTS:

Active ingredients include:

Vitamin B3 (5%) a powerful anti-inflammatory that reduces the redness and puffiness in acne, irritated skin, and blotchy skin.

Hyaluronic Acid makes skin look instantly younger by adding lots of moisture and plumping the skin. It also allows the B3 to reach deeper into the skin, it sort of sucks it into the skin by swelling the pores with moisture to open them, making them receptive to the product. The deeper a product gets into the skin, the better. It can, however, make skin more sensitive to sunlight, so if you are not using a sunscreen already, make sure to do so, especially if you are using any anti-aging Retinols. Vitamin C serums, or ALAs.

Soothing ingredients like Organic Aloe Vera to soothe and cool the skin, Avocado Oil is a rich conditioning and moisturizing agent, as is Vitamin E.

UPON APPLICATION

The serum does not sting or burn on application, it is cool to the touch and smooth. It dries down well without any visible residue and my skin is not sticky. My skin is normal to dry/sensitive, some users mentioned it was sticky, the instructions say to use about a pea size amount, I found this amount or a bit more to leave no residue.  There is a nice glow. Do however allow enough time for the serum to dry before makeup application to give it time to set. I apply it after I shower, I eat breakfast then apply my moisturizer and sunscreen, and then dry my hair, then apply my makeup to allow time for it to set.

HOW MY SKIN LOOKS WHEN USING IT

There is an interesting sort of airbrushing in the light deflecting nature of the serum. I have a cluster of broken capillaries that is red, the redness in that area seemed to diffuse and is not as noticeable even just after applying the serum, and it seemed to be less inflamed.  I also have a glow/highlight to the top of the cheekbone where one might apply highlighter.

My hands have hyperpigmentation and lots of blotchy redness, so I treat my hands to some of the serum as well.  Hands can be a giveaway for aging, so I try to treat my hands to what I put on my face whenever possible. But always follow the serum with a moisturizer.

ACNE and Niacinamide

I have one pimple on my cheek, it is red and just forming. The serum did reduce some of the visible inflammation and redness, so far it hasn’t irradicated the pimple, so I don’t think this would be my only treatment for acne, but a nice addition for areas that suffer for both from acne and wrinkles, such as the forehead area.

CONCLUSION:

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) is a very good addition to an anti-aging regimen because it addresses a loss of elasticity and reduces redness.
