The Plasma Lip Compound

Do your lips feel like they need some extra-moisturizing love? If so, then the compound range is for you. Doubling up as a beautiful lip shine and skincare treatment, the compound visibly plumps, contours, and smoothes lips. U Beauty's lip compound uses a 3-D cushion effect to push visible results to new levels. Also, the creamy texture increases volume, hydration, and softness day by day. Perfect for a soft tint to your lips and a glamorous smile, the lip treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles over time. Moreover, the formula uses exclusive technologies to lock in hydration and soothe dryness and dehydration.

What's Inside?

Using two exclusive U beauty technologies, the lip compound will boost your natural collagen and elastin production. The Siren Technology™ targets the necessary zones and improves skin renewal and hydration.

• VOLUME-SIREN

This peptide-packed formula helps increase volume in thinner-looking areas of the lips. Using a blend of natural extracts, peptides, and ceramides, your lips are protected, hydrated, and repaired with each use.

• HYDRA-SIREN

This hyaluronic-rich formula delivers a deep moisturization and plumping effect to the lips. U beauty has combined Long-Chain Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, inflate, and plump lip appearance, while the hyaluronic acid spheres on the lip surface visibly volumize the lips.

Up To Four Colors

The pre-existing universal shade is taking on a NEW appearance this summer. Released in three tinted shades, you can now add a touch of colour to your lip:

• Universal – Glossy clear
• Rose – Pale pink
• Fawn – Warm beige
• Lastly, Cassis – Rich plum

My Review

I am a massive fan of hybrid lip products and love to use the lip compound in my daily makeup routine. Its silky smooth texture makes my lips instantly soft, and the lines are reduced. This lip softener is ideal for everyday wear, and the new shades offer plenty of options. The packaging has slightly changed its appearance from the previous one, but the lip compound still works like a dream. Soft and comfortable all day long!

The Resurfacing Body Compound

Do you have dull and rough skin on your body? If so, then welcome your new best friend. Reducing visible irregularities on the skin's surface and promoting the skin's natural desquamation. This body exfoliant helps to eliminate excess skin cells. Doing this makes the skin much smoother, and wrinkles fade to leave uniform skin. The skin is softened, and any keratin blocks or clogged pores are eliminated. This product can be used all over the body and works excellently on Rough, flaky patches.

How to use it?

You can use the body compound 1-2 a week for a flawless skin result. I recommend using it during your shower for easy removal and a mess-free application. Massage the fluid onto the skin in circular motions and leave for 5 minutes.

The Benefits

The benefits of using U Beauty Resurfacing Body Compound include:

• Reduce the appearance of imperfections and pores.
• Even out the skin tone.
• Smooths out rough, flaky skin.
• It helps to calm the redness caused by shaving.

What's Inside?

Inside this lightweight formula, you will find the exclusive SIREN Capsule Technology™. It is designed to deliver precise treatment where the body needs it. Alongside this technology is a bouquet of antioxidants, peptides, proven exfoliators (AHAs, enzymes) and salicylic acids. Together they help prevent and remove the buildup of impurities and dead skin cells. The fluid helps to support the skin's moisture barrier.

My Experience

The Resurfacing body compound has been a good friend of mine and never disappoints me. The texture slides onto the skin and instantly removes unwanted skin cells. I use this on my legs during summer, and it looks great. My skin is soft and has a natural glow, perfect for those summer dresses.

I recommend this to those who suffer from ingrown hairs and flaky skin, as the exfoliating action is intense but gentle.

Psst: Try it out before applying your tan lotion for superb results!

I recently reviewed their new Eye Concentrate and am still hooked on it.

Wipe away the years!

This lightweight creamy texture is a real treat for your eye contour. The RETURN eye treatment targets signs of ageing caused by oxidative stress and a free-radical imbalance. Over time this can leave your skin marked by fine lines, wrinkles, or a puffy, dark undereye. The eye treatment was designed to be used on our fragile eye contours. It helps to reduce signs of ageing and restore a youthful, energetic gaze.

The super-intelligent formula of this Eye Concentrate contains potent actives like peptides, antioxidants, and Pure diamond powder. Therefore, eye contour has impressive skincare benefits and smooths the skin immediately.

What's Inside?

MACRO-SIREN And BIO-SIREN

The skin around our eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest. Therefore, this eye cream works on two levels of the skin for immediate and long-term results.

MACRO-SIRENS

Reducing the appearance of fine lines/ wrinkles on the surface level, this treatment leaves you with a plumper and healthier eye contour. A combination of vitamins, humectants, and organic stevia extract helps to restore moisture levels and visibly awakens the eye contour. For an instantly smoother texture, the brand incorporated pure diamond powder.

BIO-SIREN

The bio-siren formula is composed of Biomimetic plankton extract and peptides. It helps to resolve imperfections such as puffiness and discolouration visibly. This is ideal for those who suffer from darkness under the eye. As a result, you are left with a brighter under-eye.

Review

The RETURN Eye Concentrate was successful only three days after I started it. I have genetically inherited dark circles that never seem to fade. That was until I used this beauty. The eye cream leaves your eyes feeling extra comfortable and hydrated after application. As the days went by, my eyes became more bright and smooth. Also, I noticed a difference when applying my mascara. I didn't look so tired. Get me right, my dark circles hadn't disappeared, but they were much more discreet. It worked well with my usual skincare routine, removing the tired and dull look. Overall, it's a yes for me!

My Experience

It was my first time trying U beauty products, and I like them. The cleanser has a lovely texture that transforms under your fingertips. My skin felt incredibly fresh and ready for my skincare products. With cleansers, I am always curious as to the actions. I let the cleanser set for a few minutes so the actives could penetrate my skin. After using the cleanser daily for two weeks, my skin felt great. My pores were tighter, skin clearer and healthy. Another fantastic fact about this brand is that they are highly engaged in sustainability and eco-responsibility. I 100% recommend trying this cleanser and look forward to discovering their other products.

Another product I enjoy from the brand is its new Super Body Hydrator. It is very lightweight yet moisturizing.

My Review

I have unusually dry skin and it gets worse during change of weather. I always have to reapply moisturizer throughout the day. All the creams I have used have a very thick consistency that makes my skin sticky. Because of the constant dryness, my skin had become dull and flaky. The texture of the skin got rough and it looked deeply dehydrated. Even if I applied moisturizer repeatedly, my skin was not able to hold the moisture within itself. I had patches all over my body and they were not decreasing, no matter what I used.

Above all, I have always liked U Beauty products so when I saw their body hydrator, I knew I had to give it a try. I have used it for over a month now and have never been happier. Its consistency is amazing and it is not sticky at all. After a while, I did not even need to re-apply it at night as it had hydrated my skin so deeply and well. The skin looked visibly fresh and glowy after using it constantly. It had repaired all the damage of the past so the patchiness was gone too. The texture of the skin improved greatly and made it look younger.

Other products I love from the brand are linked here for your reference.

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.

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

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.
