【WHITESILK & Wisely】(𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐔𝐩𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝) (2.7oz) [Stem Cell + 3% Matrixyl] Power Lift/Smooth/Contour Serum― with [Argirelin + T1 Collagen + Vitamin B3 & E] ― bye bye wrinkles

WHITESILK Cell Rejuvenation Brightening Anti-Wrinkle Lifting Hydrating serum came in a pretty bland box with Human Stem Cell Conditioned media listed on all 4 sides with US Patent #US9874574 & EU Patent #EP2425844. The back side of the box asks "Why should I use this product?" and seems like there has been rigorous testing and patents submitted from several countries. The first ingredient listed is Human Stell Conditioned Media. I was curious about SCM and their website anterogenpartners.com is listed on label for more information, and I went to the FAQ's on the website. SCM is comprised of and come from human fat or adipose tissue. They also recommend refrigerating the product to preserve stem cell because they are temperature sensitive. I was interested in trying this product because from reading/researching, stem cells may improve skin and reduce appearance of wrinkles and age spots, acne scars and skin laxity by increasing collagen production. The teal frosted bottle has a little pump dispenser that dispels just enough at a time so you can use it sparingly or liberally as choosing. The serum has a slight watery gel consistency. There is a faint floral-like scent to the serum. My skin on my arm absorbed it quickly once rubbed in. My skin felt soft and supple. No sticky or tacky residue. Can be easily apply lotion or sunscreen over the application. Compared to the other arm, the one with the serum looks brighter and less sun-damage. Excited about seeing the results when using on my face.

This serum is a thin, somewhat runny gel that comes in a small blue pump bottle. It absorbs well, does not have any fragrance, and didn't cause any irritation, itchiness, or rashes. It is a South Korean skin care product, always a good sign. Many of the ingredients in this are common to other serums I have used, like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and ginseng, but it has a few uncommon ones, like broccoli vesicles (?) and the main selling point, Human Stem Cell Conditioned Media. This is not actual human stem cells but the liquid produced by them and it is supposed to help with cell repair and regeneration. The several clinical studies I checked online indicate that the media is effective for increasing the skin's moisture content and reducing wrinkles so I am hopeful that with continued use I will see some improvements in my skin.

WHITESILK & Wisely (𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐔𝐩𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝) Power Lift/Smooth/Contour Serum goes on smoothly and blends easily. However, after 2 weeks I stopped using the serum on my face. I applied a small amount of the serum in the morning, but by afternoon my face felt clammy. You know that feeling when you just can't wait to get home and wash your face with a good cleanser? That's how this product made me feel. I hate to let anything go to waste, so I continued using the serum on my neck and on dry skin on my forearms. (A little drop goes a long way.) This does seem to be helping my dry skin, so might be appropriate for neck or décolletage, but is just too heavy for the face.

Okay, there are MANY collagen based products on the market that simply don't work... let's face it (no pun intended... okay, maybe it was). This product is made by my new favorite Korean based company that makes incredible facial products for a very fair price when compared to similar products that don't seem to work nearly as well in my opinion. This serum is massaged gently into the skin (AM and PM for best/faster results) around trouble spots like the forehead and eyes (crows feet and just below). After several weeks of both this serum and the same manufacturer's collagen stick, I've notice a definite reduction in wrinkles and bags under my eyes upon waking in the morning. Applied in the AM after showering, you can actually feel the serum lifting and tightening the skin after properly applying (like a natural facelift, it's great!). I'm excited to see what age defying results I may obtain in the future from this.

I've repeatedly attempted to use this serum on my face, yet unfortunately experienced a breakout wherever I applied the product. This consistently happened to me, over the course of several months, to where I finally stopped attempting to use the product. In the interim, I've attempted to locate an exact ingredient listing for this serum, so I can attempt to isolate what triggered my allergies. I haven't been able to do so. I've finally stopped any trials of using this on my skin, not because I disbelieve in the promises of the product...I just cannot find information regarding its ingredients and usage standards, so that I can isolate my why my skin responds so poorly to the formula.

I love this product! It has improved the texture of my skin over the past few weeks. My wrinkles have softened, and my skin has firmed up. While it's not a fountain of youth, it definitely makes you look more refreshed. The serum targets five types of expression lines, including forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and frown lines. It contains a powerful formula with Matrixyl Complex and Adenosine, which effectively reduce both old and new wrinkles. Clinical results show a 30% reduction in deep wrinkles after two months of use and a 16% improvement in skin smoothness within one month.The lightweight serum absorbs quickly and provides excellent hydration. It also supports skin renewal and helps prevent future wrinkles. Suitable for all skin types, it’s easy to use—just massage one dropper full onto your face, neck, and chest twice a day.

At the time of purchase for this serum, nowhere in the products ad did it state this serum contained “Human Stem Cells”! I only found this out when the serum arrived and I read the FULL Ingredient list which I Included a Picture of that with this review. I have zero desire to use human stem cells in my daily skincare routine therefore I won’t be trying this serum! I did research all the listed ingredients found in the serum and didn’t find any ingredients that are pore clogging. I did place some of the serum on a cotton ball and didn’t really detect any kind of scent to liquid. The serum might work well for someone, just not something I’m interested in trying.

When I selected this item, I researched and found that most stem cells in cosmetic applications are derived from plants. So I thought I would try it and see that it says "Human stem cell conditioned media" as an ingredient. So off on a search I went and found that the media doesn't include the cells themselves, but the liquid surrounding the cells as they grow. I dunno. That's pretty weird to me and I don't know if I can use this stuff.
