Review: Be in Awe Kaanti Lightening Serum

Oh acne, you evil son of a b****. It is not enough for you to simply come along and ruin my complexion with your painful, red bumps. You leave a legacy, purplish red scars which take an extremely long time to go away. I very much hate you, and I do all that I can to combat you. Your little legacies however are even harder to be rid of than yourself. Let me reiterate that I hate you.

Moving on to something positive, I do very much like this serum from Be in Awe. It is designed to clear up hyperpigmentation (acne's little legacy), and in the two and a bit weeks that I have trialled this serum it has exceeded expectations.  There is only so much you can do in 2 and a bit weeks, but I have been quite pleased with the results.

Be in Awe is an Australian company which uses Ayurveda holistic medicine principles in their skin care products. What Be in Awe says:

"kaanti Lightening Serum is formulated with encapsulation technology of β white in a liposome vehicle for excellent stability and delivery, Niacinamide at 5% and Liquorice extract; with the added benefits of Indian gooseberry, Gotu kola and Sage extract."

Be in Awe Kaanti Lightening Serum soaks in quite easily, although it does take a minute or so to dry down. During that minute your skin will feel a little tacky, but once it soaks in it dries to a matte finish, something that I find very important (having pores the size of America). The serum is very light, so I do believe that it would suit most skin types, including the poor dears with very oily skin. I have been using this morning and night, before a sunscreen or before my night cream.

Now, to the results. After two and a bit weeks (as long as the sample has lasted me) I have noticed a reasonable lightening in newer acne scars on my cheek, and a very slight lightening on the acne scars on my chin (which get no relief because I keep getting acne). Considering that it normally takes 12 weeks to see a result using a hyperpigmentation serum, to see results after two and a bit weeks is amazing. Be in Awe promises visible results in 28 days, but I am pleased that I got results earlier (my sample is almost out)!

I am not the only one who loves the Be In Awe serums, check out these posts from Me, My Best and I, and Blushfully.
