I am an absolutely self-confessed skincare junkie. I’m a huge believer in prevention being better than cure when it comes to your skin. So I naturally gravitate towards the most effective, science-led products. I was always really keen to try U Beauty, but I never got around to it for some reason. But boy, am I pleased that I’ve now finally taken the plunge. I’m obsessed!
U Beauty offers everything that I look for in skincare. It’s sustainable, planet aware and uses some seriously ground-breaking technology. Not to mention, it’s completely female-founded – which I love! Each product has been formulated using the brand’s ‘Siren Capsule Technology’. It is a unique technology that helps to maximize the efficacy of anti-ageing ingredients.
U Beauty Resurfacing Compound

For me, to see true results from a brand, I have to try at least two different products from the line. The first product that I tried from this range is the U Beauty Resurfacing Compound. A serious all-rounder, this treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. It contains powerful ingredients such as stabilized vitamin C, vitamin E, retinol, hyaluronic acid, AHA exfoliants AND antioxidants.
I could go into the power of each of these individual ingredients, but we would be here all day! Let’s just say, all of them work extremely hard to brighten, tighten, resurface and defend the skin. And they do it well! Usually, I worry that products with such a potent concentration of active ingredients could cause irritation, but I didn’t find that with this.
U Beauty The Super Hydrator

Another product from the U Beauty Skincare range that I am in love with, is The Super Hydrator. I suffer from quite dry skin that looks and feels dehydrated quite quickly. So in preference, I will always reach for a hydrating formula.
The technology behind this product is insane. It’s a serum that delivers long-chain hyaluronic acid molecules to the areas of the skin that need it most. In other words… it’ll completely cure any dry bits ASAP.
U Beauty The Barrier Bioactive Treatment
Use code VELVETLIFE to get 15% off
Overnight treatments are great if you have a specific skin concern that you want to target. However, I often find that overnight treatments can be a little aggressive and not very well suited to sensitive skin. The idea of this product, though, is to actually help with skin texture and brightness by improving the quality of the skin’s moisture barrier. Any inflammation or sensitivity caused by a compromised skin barrier is totally banished. Thus, making it great for pretty much anyone to use. The product contains clever bioactive marine ingredients which help to naturally increase skin cell renewal.
U Beauty Plasma Lip Compound

I love the idea of plump, juicy lips but absolutely HATE the idea of getting injectable fillers. I know it’s common now, and one day I know I may take the plunge. But until then, I’m always on the lookout for anything else that will do the job and save me from having to face the needle. With that said, The U Beauty Plasma Lip Compound promises to give a ‘3-D cushion effect. So I had really high hopes for it from the outset.
It contains peptides, ceramides, AHA, PHA, Hyaluronic and Salicylic acids, along with shea butter and beeswax. All of these ingredients work together to give lips a smoother texture. Also, to get rid of any dryness, enhance volume and target any fine lines around the mouth. It also contains a subtle pigment that adjusts to the natural lip colour of the wearer. Thus, adding a little more dimension and glamour.
