What's Inside?

The kit includes four essential Elemis products that suit a wide range of skincare concerns:

• Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm: This iconic balm is known for melting away harsh makeup and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
• Pro-Collagen Marine Cream: A renowned anti-aging moisturizer that firms and hydrates with marine and plant-based actives.
• Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads: Exfoliating pads gently remove excess dead skin cells, making your skin smoother and more radiant.
• Superfood Facial Oil: A lightweight oil packed with nutrient-rich superfoods to nourish and brighten the skin.

My Experience.

However, it may not be suitable for those with extremely sensitive skin or certain skin conditions. When I first tried the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, I knew it would be a staple in my routine. Its texture is like silk—thick and rich but not greasy—and it effortlessly melted away my makeup. I love that I can also use it as a quick mask when my skin feels dull or dehydrated (full review here).

The next standout for me was the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. After a few uses, I noticed my skin felt more hydrated and plump. It absorbs quickly and layers perfectly under makeup, which is a huge plus. After consistent use, my skin looked firmer, and fine lines were less noticeable.

The Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads were a game-changer for me. Although my skin can be sensitive to exfoliants, these pads were gentle and left my skin feeling smoother after just a few uses. They brightened my complexion without irritation, making them perfect for daily use (Full review here).

Lastly, the Superfood Facial Oil added an instant glow to my skin. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly, nourishing my skin without feeling heavy. It also worked wonders under my makeup, keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day.

Final Thoughts

The Elemis The It-List Kit is an exciting investment for anyone seeking visible results in their skincare routine. Each product offers unique benefits, and together, they create a transformative routine that leaves your skin feeling firm, hydrated, and glowing. It's a journey of hope for your skin's health and beauty.

A Unique Method

Biologique Recherche has a unique approach to skincare. Each skin type is unique and changes throughout our lives. Therefore the brand has chosen to treat it in instants. Taking into account all of the different elements (internal and external), they design a skincare routine adapted to your needs at the present moment.

The Serum Placenta

This golden water holds the key to regaining a smooth and healthy glow. With its lightweight texture and excellent regenerating skills, this serum fits perfectly for an oily/acne-prone skin type. Targetting dark spots, acne scarring, and inflammation helps your skin to repair damaged skin cells and prevent pigmentations on the surface.

How does it work? The serum mimics the skin's Biomimetic placenta to provide the skin with all the elements it needs to regenerate and restore. Also, it quickly soothes redness and reduces old and new traces of acne.

The Benefits

• Skin texture is smoother
• Scarring and pigmentations appear reduced
• Redness and inflammation from acne reduced
• Overall healthy glow

My Review

The placenta has numerous benefits for our skin, and I wanted to try out Biologique recherche's “mimicking active”. This product spiked my interest from the moment I saw it. The serum has a water-like texture that rapidly penetrates the skin. After applying it daily for over a month, my skin started to show results. It is now much softer and has a smoother texture. My imperfections are still present, but the discomfort I had is reduced.

I recommend this serum to those who wish to target the results of acne scarring or hyperpigmentation. The serum is a softer approach compared to the more known correcting serums that contain acids. Another great thing about this serum is that it doesn't add oil to the skin or cause clogging of the pores. I will continue to use this serum, along with another favourite in my daily routine, and my regular moisturizer.

Also, check out Creme Placenta (review here) which is on of the best moisturizers to follow after Serum Placenta if you have problem skin that needs all the help.

What Is ZIIP GX Tool?

The ZIIP GX tool is an electric facial device that, when used in tandem with the brand's facial products, helps boost the regeneration of skin cells and reboot collagen production. How? This is where it gets a bit too sciencey for my liking. But the simple explanation is that the device emits electric ‘nano currents’ – microscopic currents that penetrate the skin and work with our body’s frequency to get the best results.

What is ZIIP's Golden Gel?

I tried the device with the brand’s Golden Gel – a cooling, luxe-feeling serum. Using the ZIIP GX with a gel of your choice is essential. The gel can be purchased as a set with the device itself. When smothered onto cleansed, dry skin, the gel acts as an accelerator for the nano currents to reach the neediest parts of your skin (i.e. dehydrated areas, dry patches, pigmentation, etc.). It’s designed to help make your skin conducive to the energy the device releases (thanks to the gold extract and dehydrated seawater ingredients) and is packed with bio-placenta, which stimulates the creation of collagen for a glowy, plump result.

I simply had to download the ZIIP app onto my phone to use it. It’s pretty plain sailing from that point onwards. All you have to do is connect your device, select a treatment (there are 10!) that best suits the skin concern you are trying to target and get going. If you still struggle and need some guidance, there are handy videos on the app that help.

What Is Included In ZIIP GX Series Box?

The box contains the following items:

• ZIIP GX device
• Full-size 80ml Golden Gel pump bottle
• A charging USB cable
• ZIIP Travel Bag
• One cleaning cloth
• User Guide

My Review

I’m sure you’re wondering whether it works or if this savvy skincare gem is worth the breathtaking price tag. My simple answer is yes. This super luxurious skincare regime isn’t loved by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston for no reason – it just really, really works! I tried a range of facials on offer for over two weeks. And I can safely say that my skin appears more lifted, sculpted, glowy, and less lacklustre. My puffy eyes are still there, but they are much better, and I generally look more awake.

TOP TIPS:

• ZIIP GX Series device should light up when it touches your skin. If it doesn’t, there is not enough gel on your skin, and you need to apply more.
• Use it regularly! Depending on which facial you go for, you may have to wait a certain amount of time between treatments. However, ensure that you maintain the treatments appropriately to receive long-term results.
• Need to give your skin a quick boost? Opt for the ‘instant gratification' program on the app for a 4-minute facial from which you’ll see results.

It helps with various skin concerns, including acne, dark spots, pigmentation, skin aging, lines, and wrinkles. When it comes to LED skin treatments, Red & Blue lights are most talked about. Blue light basically works on the superficial layer; therefore, it is most commonly used for acne and breakouts. Red lights go a bit deeper and, thus, help with collagen production.

LED skin devices do not have much power, so they can not burn the skin in the short term. I mentioned it as many people have concerns regarding its safety on the skin. CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask combines Red (633nm) and Near Infra-Red Light (830nm). These two wavelengths, mentioned in nanometer units, work in harmony below the skin's surface to stimulate the skin's natural rejuvenation process. Thus, helping the skin looks and feel newer, fresher, and youthful.

Red Lights stimulate the production of new collagen by tricking the skin into that there is an injury, and it needs to work to heal it. Red light also calms the redness and creates an even skin tone. Near Infra-Red penetrates deep into the skin's surface to boost circulation, improve blood flow, and boost oxygen to the skin's cells.

What Is Included With CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask?

Apart from the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask, below are included in the packaging:

• Power Cable and charging plug. There are multiple plugs, and the suitable ones can be used based on where you are located. Even when travelling to another region, you are covered with other plugs included in the package.
• User Manual
• Cloth storage pouch

My Thoughts

The CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask feels like any hydrogel mask. The mask is made from patented flexible silicon that ensures light penetrates every face area. It is very flexible and comfortable to wear. I have been using it every day, for 10 minutes, since last month. I use it on clean skin most days, and I apply Hyaluronic Acid serum on other days before using this LED mask. Overall, I am super impressed with the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask.

Also another amazing thing is that I can do anything while wearing this mask. I can be in the kitchen, watch tv, or do any chores without worrying that the mask will be off. Also, the mask turns off after 10 minutes, so I do not need to keep track of time.

I did not notice any irritation or other sensations on the face or the eye area. The first thing I noticed was the glow. I do not believe in expecting immediate results when using any skincare products as well as devices. So, I had to use it for a minimum of 1 month before concluding. With consistent use, I have noticed my skin is radiant and looks more even. The dark spots and pigmentation seem to have diminished a bit. I plan to continue using this mask in my skincare routine to work on the lightened discolorations. Overall, my skin looks hydrated, radiant, and youthful, and the texture looks even.

Coola products are crafted with at least 70% certified organic ingredients. Also, the ingredients follow sustainable farming practices and support local communities. The products harness the power of plant cell actives to nourish and support healthy skin.

Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF50

Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF50 with White Tea is an organic moisturizer plus sunscreen. It is hydrating without being oily or greasy. And, it provides a sheer broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The formula is fragrance-free. The sunscreen is very lightweight, smooth, and comfortable. It blends nicely into the skin without leaving any white cast. I am very particular when it comes to sunscreens as most leave a white cast on my medium skin tone.

This one feels more like a nice lightweight moisturizer. It works nicely on its own as well as layers nicely under the makeup. Above all, it is water-resistant for over 80 minutes. It does not congest my skin and there is a glow it imparts to the skin. Plus, I find it so gentle, even for my kids. It definitely is going to be a staple in my skincare routine and a family essential for beach days.

Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30

Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 with Tropical Coconut is an organic sunscreen for the body. It is a very lightweight creamy formula, like the face version. The finish is a sheer veil of radiance, similar to a hydrating lotion on the skin. It does not leave any residue and there is no heavy feeling once applied.

This Coola Sunscreen is very comfortable on the skin, feels like nothing. It blends nicely without any white cast. The formula is very moisturizing, does not irritates the skin. And, it is water-resistant for 80 minutes. Again, a very family-friendly product.

Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist

Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist Organic Face Sunscreen SPF18 is a sunscreen in the form of a fine refreshing mist. The formula is infused with coconut water and aloe vera that are both so refreshing and soothing even on their own. The mist feels weightless like a spritz of water.

It keeps the skin comfortable, calm, and hydrating while providing sun protection at the same time. I love using it during the day just to freshen up or even to set my makeup. It adds an extra layer of protection as a makeup setting spray or while on the go.

Full Spectrum 360° Mineral Sun Silk Creme

Full Spectrum 360° Mineral Sun Silk Creme Organic Face Sunscreen SPF30 is an organic, oil-free sunscreen. The texture feels very silky and airy. It provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while also helping mitigate the effects of blue light and pollution.

It is very lightweight and blends nicely into the skin. The result is a natural glow on the skin that does not look oily or feels heavy. The formulation has non-nano zinc oxide that is transparent and airy. There is no white cast on the skin. It stays well just on its own or under the makeup.

Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops

Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops Organic Face Sunscreen SPF30 is a very lightweight sunscreen that can be used on its own or can be mixed into a moisturizer or foundation. It does not congest my combination skin. If used on its own, the silky lightweight formula blends nicely into the skin. I apply 5-6 drops per area of the face after my moisturizer. And when few drops are mixed into the foundation or moisturizer, it mixes and applies nicely. I mix equal parts of these drops and the foundation or moisturizer to mix them well before applying. Also, it does not leave a white cast on my skin nor does it makes my foundation oxidize.

In conclusion, I am really enjoying these Coola sunscreen products. Not just for me but they are perfect for the whole family, even for kids. They are lightweight, smooth, and blend nicely. Depending on the texture and finish of the formula, you can pick one. Classic Face and Classic Body sunscreen are my go-to for the whole family. Apart from providing sun protection, the products are very hydrating and comfortable.

Coola Sunscreen products are reef-friendly, which means I do not have to worry when wearing them on the beach. I also like the packaging of the products, very fun and lively colors. Plus, the tubes are 100% plant-based and sourced from sugarcane. The glass bottles of the mineral sunscreen, mist, and sundrops are also recyclable as well as can be repurposed.

Other sunscreens I love under my makeup are from By Terry and ReVive Skincare.
