And then i went on a family trip to Europe and while in Heathrow Airport in London, i passed by and saw the Guerlain Issima Midnight standing there looking all classy and shit and i thought well why not give it a go. Thankfully it wasnt over a 100ml so it was all good. HOWEVER, it was 80 freaking pounds.
The product comes in a midnight blue packaging with a gold cap .At first i thought it was for anti aging but nah, it is for all skin types, all ages and best of all, it is a freaking late night recovery treatment! So what is a late night recovery treatment? basically when individuals dont get enough sleep, the skin cant regenerate itself therefore resulting in really dull and pale skin. The midnight secret with Hydronoctine detoxifies by replenishing moisture and oxygen to the cells, while yeast extract improves cellular oxygenation. Vitamin E and rice extract combat free radicals.
Looks pretty right?
Well wait till you smell it, when i first opened the cap, i smelled an amazing scent that i cant really make out what but it smelled so good seriously! but i was a bit worried as i have oily combo acne prone senstive skin and suspect it might not be fragrance free but nonetheless i tried it anyway.
HOW TO USE:
Apply to cleansed skin at night, either alone or under another skincare product for up to three times per week (on non-consecutive nights).
It comes with a pump bottle as you can see, so clearly it is definitely hygienic and wont be such a hassle as there is no need to use q tips to scoop out the product if it were placed in a jar packaging. I usually use one pump and it is already enough for the entire face,
It comes out a white goopy gel like texture that wont clog your pores and it is definitely oil free! It felt like i was applying gold to my skin as it absorbed really well and there was no greasy or any discomfort during application. I used this only when im going out to a sleepover, concert, party, flight or when im pulling out an all nighter.
So the result?
When i went on a 15hour flight, i could barely sleep as it was really uncomfortable sleeping in economy class so i stayed up, watched a few movies and listened to music, However with lots of free time, i made a trip to the toilet, washed my face, slather on the guerlain issima midnight secret and returned to my seat. By the time we landed, I felt really tired and sleepy but my skin feels great, rejuvenated and moisturised. Even my mum commented on how even my skin looked.
The week after, was exam week meaning i stayed up all night almost everyday and basically i knew my skin was about to look like crap and i could feel a breakout coming through. However, i began to use the midnight secret in conjunction with La Roche Posay Effaclar K (which i use as a night moisturiser) and barely had any sleep. Instead of the usual dehydrated oiliness, a cluster of acne and blackheads or dull looking skin, nothing happened. Seriously, the midnight secret prevented it from happening. Instead it was like sleep in a bottle! . My skin stayed even, clear and hydrated.
I didnt use this every night though as it is meant as a 'late night recovery treatment' so i do recommend to use this for those late night partying, concerts, long haul flights, all nighter or even sickly days. Even though it is soo freaking expensive, i definitely would recommend to splurge on this!
RATE: 9/10 . if the price was lower, definitely a 10/10!
