VOTARY Super Seed Serum is a fragrance-free facial serum created for sensitive, redness-prone and easily unsettled skin. Its carefully selected combination of hydrating ingredients, nourishing seed oils and peptides helps leave skin feeling calmer, softer and more comfortable.
Broccoli seed oil and rosehip oil provide nourishing lipids, helping support the skin's natural moisture barrier. Hyaluronic acid, in the form of sodium hyaluronate, attracts and retains moisture to leave skin feeling hydrated and looking plumper, while glycerin helps maintain moisture levels.
The formula also contains carnosine, a peptide that supports the skin's natural defences, alongside oat kernel flour and oat kernel oil to help soothe and condition the skin. Grape seed oil and green tea extract provide additional antioxidant support.
What makes this serum particularly interesting is its focus on skin resilience. Rather than simply adding hydration, the formula is designed to help support the skin's natural barrier and improve the appearance of redness, leaving the complexion looking more balanced and feeling less reactive.
VOTARY reports that a six-week clinical trial involving 20 participants found a 13% reduction in redness, a 12% increase in moisture levels and a 10% reduction in wrinkles. These are the brand's reported trial results, rather than a guarantee of individual results.
I particularly like the fact that this formula is fragrance-free and contains no added colour, making it an appealing option for anyone who prefers to keep their skincare routine simple and avoid unnecessary fragrance. It also contains salicylic acid, so if your skin is very reactive, patch testing before use is especially worthwhile.
