A Serum That Actually Works

Let’s face it, the skin on our face matters.

Black, white or yellow, our souls are tucked behind the skin we were assigned to without a choice. 

It is the first thing people see when they see us, which emphasizes the need for a proper representation of who you are and how you present yourself to the world. 

There have been beautiful ups and awful bottoms in the story of my skin. From being a teen experiencing hormonal acne to establishing a beauty ritual to help me compete in beauty pageants. I’ve modeled for international campaigns and had to relearn everything I thought I knew about my skin during and after pregnancy. 

My journey has evolved so much.

The behaviors, tendencies and preferences of our skin is something we all have to learn along the way. It can and will change overtime as we go through life. And, so we adjust our products accordingly. 

One item that I am happy to have discovered and will forever keep in my back pocket is an extreme multi-correction serum from Herbal Face Food called The Cure X. There is simply nothing else like it on the market. It addresses:

Acne (maskne), scarring, moles, warts, cold sores, eczema, deep wrinkles, dark circles, melisma, extreme sun damage, lesions and more!

The brand claims the serum contains 50 of the world’s most powerful botanicals, 20 being the rarest most expensive plant concentrates on the planet. And I believe this, why? The serum is undeniably POWERFUL. 

HOW I FELL IN LOVE

PART I

11AM // August 26, 2021

I woke up with a pimple on my forehead. Not sure how or even why it occurred but I didn’t fuss. I just thought it would be a great opportunity to test this serum. I gave it a good shake and applied it directly on the pimple as a spot treatment. I let it air dry as I went about my day. 

2PM // Same-day

After getting out of the shower, I turned to the mirror, reaching for the serum to reapply. And to my astonishment, the pimple was gone. Like it never even happened. I thought I was going crazy! I documented this on my Instagram “Skin” Highlight.

PART II

5AM // May 18, 2022

I just got my first hydro-facial by an aesthetician the day before. I was up early to catch a flight to LA for a wedding and noticed a HUGE planet forming underneath my skin. It was starting to swell up, taking space from underneath an eyebrow to mid forehead.  It was as if all the dirt and oil that wasn’t able to escape during the facial was forming in this area while I slept. It was becoming painful and had the potential to ruin my entire weekend. Worried and a bit frantic, I applied this serum and let it air dry as I worked to get to the airport on time. 

11AM // Same-day

By this time, I completely forgot about the nightmare that was forming underneath my skin. I checked into my hotel, used the bathroom and while I washed my hands I looked into the mirror.

GONE. VANISHED. EASED! I was at a loss for words and instantly regretted not documenting the experience.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. Shake the bottle well before each use. This helps to activate all the ingredients.
2. Can be used as a serum and/or spot treatment.
3. A little goes a long way. 
4. This product does not rid me of every acne type. You may have better luck overall, but it seems to perform best on my pimples formed from dirt and oil. Stress and hormonal pimples tend to last a bit longer on my skin, although this serum helps to improve them.
5. There is an herbal essence you can smell before even opening the serum which should be expected considering what it is derived from. 
6. Use multiple times throughout the day. Keep it with you and reapply for faster results. 
7. Vogue-approved feature, Top 10 International Beauty Products in December 2021 
8. The Serum I is considered their entry-level serum with just 25 botanicals, yet wildly effective. If you’re nervous or just want to test it out. 
9. The Cure, the one I’ve discussed throughout this post, is their most powerful serum currently. However, a little bird told me another serum with 75 botanicals will soon take its place.
10. The product is derived from 100% plants and is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-aging, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory.

DISCLAIMER!

I can not lead anyone to this product without mentioning this: you WILL feel it working. 

Some may describe this feeling as a warming sensation (Vogue Singapore), others (me) as a burn. No matter your adjective, no one can deny that you can feel it. The feeling is actually the formula stimulating blood flow to help deliver the nutrients deep into the skin. It is possible to get used to the sensation.

As I age with grace, I am grateful for having this product in my back pocket. No matter what skin issues I may face in the future, having a serum as dynamic and multi-faceted as this helps me feel good knowing that I am prepared.
