Benefit Instant Comeback Serum

A couple of weeks ago, I got a package through the door with a sample size of Benefit’s Instant Comeback Serum. I got it for signing up for emails with a magazine if I remember right.

It was a little 5ml bottle; you know the ones, just big enough to get you hooked but too small to last too long!

Now I have susceptible skin and was a bit wary of using it as I haven’t tried any Benefit products before ever, but at the same time, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Benefit. Was it that good? Would I even notice the difference?

Well, I am afraid to say it is quite possibly the most amazing product I have ever put on my face. Seriously! Ever!

Combatting Dry Skin

My skin is super dry, and I really struggle to find products that reduce the pores and dry skin issues I have on my nose and this stuff done it. From the very first use! I mean, what do you do when you find that product. You get straight on to the website to find out how you can get your hands on an eternal supply of this miracle liquid.

Then you cry because to afford just one bottle I would have to work a 6-hour shift! At £36 a bottle it is completely and utterly out of my price range but damn do I really want to buy me a bottle of this. Even if it means living off beans on toast all month I really need to invest in a bottle.

Makeup free selfie

As you can tell from my pic, I am no beauty blogger just an ordinary mum. The pic is of my and my daughter on a day out taking selfies on the dodgems and I was pleased with how my skin looked without makeup.

Applying Benefit Instant Comeback Serum

My skin felt smooth and soft after applying it before my daily moisturiser. There was no greasiness it absorbed straight away, leaving my skin make up ready. There was no dry, flaky skin. My foundation went on so easily, and I looked so healthy I couldn’t believe it. You don’t even really need too much of it either.

By the end of the day, I could feel my skin start to get a little dry again so as good as it was it wasn’t a full 24-hour miracle cure, I would need to re-apply it again if I was out for the day and night but as I don’t do that it’s not a major problem.

I also went out makeup-free with the serum and moisturiser on, and my skin looked and felt great too minus the makeup. I would totally recommend this product, and I really hope I can afford to buy a full-size product before I run out or I might cry!

Who would have thought the answer to my dodgy skin problem would literally fall through my door.

Have you tried this product? What are your thought’s on Benefit products?

I got this sample too 🙂 I've been using it in place of my normal moisturiser, but have to say whilst I'd say it was good, I haven't had as amazing results as you unfortunately 🙁

It looks great! I need something like this. I know what you mean about the price, I wouldn't be happy paying that but if it lasted well, I wouldn't mind x

It sounds amazing! Tbh that's not a bad price for a good serum and if you think about the money you'll save on other products – eg less foundation etc or in fact just how chuffed you'd be with it. Stuff it love. Treat yourself!!

Your skin looks great, I know what you mean about getting hooked on samples. I had an Eve Lom one last week and it was so good but ££££.
