My Review of Chantecaille 24K Gold Essence Intense
The 24K Gold Essence Intense is a pre-serum essence designed to prep your skin for the rest of your routine. I do love an essence to super boost my routine and just get that extra layer of hydration in, but this isn’t your average toner-essence hybrid!
First of all, it’s infused with 24K Gold which is not only very exciting if you’re a magpie like me, but it’s also very appealing because gold has some absolutely amazing soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
And there’s even more gold, because Chantecaille have also included gold stabilised Vitamin C in this formula which is a very stable and effective form of Vitamin C. This works to brighten the skin and provide antioxidant protection. Improved stability means that the Vitamin C is able to act on the skin over a longer period of time.
I also love that this essence is peptide-packed. The formula uses a blend of natural biopeptides will help to stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity whilst hydrating and smoothing the skin. There’s a lot going on!! Plus it gives some serious glow!
How Does It Feel?
The texture of this essence is divine. Whilst it is lightweight and it absorbs effortlessly into the skin, it has a richness that makes it feel like more than an essence. So much so that I am really not in that much of a rush to go in with my serum.
It is instantly comforting and I can notice it plumping up my skin straight away. It it is the perfect prep step and I have been using it day and night as my first step after cleansing. You only need a small amount so a bottle will last you months. I have been using it for about three weeks and I have barely made a dent in it.
What Are the Results?
As I said, I have been using this for just under a month and it has found a firm place in my routine. After just a week, I noticed a real increase in radiance and the feeling of hydration and comfort.
I notice that my serums and moisturiser absorbs beautifully into my skin, and everything I layer on top just seems to work better. I have a nice radiance and plumpness.
Is It Worth It?
Obviously at £218 for 50ml, this is quite an investment in your skincare routine. If you don’t have the budget for this, then I would say you don’t need it. However, if you are looking to splurge on something that will elevate your routine, then I don’t think you would regret this purchase. It’s perfect for those moments when your skin needs a little extra TLC or as a treat to yourself. Plus the glow is guaranteed.
