Skincare // Alpha-H


There was so much hype surrounding Alpha-H that I knew i had to get my hands on something from the range. Without hesitation, I drove out to a local beauty store to check out what was on offer. It was the Liquid Gold that I was mostly interested in, as I'd heard it had changed lives, yes... lives people!

While I had already decided I was going to purchase the Liquid Gold, I also wanted to sample some of the other products available and see how they worked in unison. The smaller product sizes suited me so i opted for the the Liquid Gold discovery collection which included Alpha-H’s most iconic and bestselling products (Balancing Cleanser 30ml, Liquid Gold 50ml, Liquid Gold Rejuvenating Cream 30ml, Liquid Gold Perfecting Daywear 15ml and Liquid Gold Intensive Night Repair Serum 15ml).

I've now been using this set for over a month and I have to say I'm bitterly disappointed with these products. I feel they have done nothing to improved my skin texture, hydration or overall appearance. I really dislike the scent of these products too. At first the scent was kinda nice but after a while I felt like i had an exposed compost bin on my face. The products were tacky in texture and left a shine on my skin making the daycream almost impossible to wear. The only product I liked was the cleanser, which I've been using with my clarisonic. It does leave the skin fresh and clean so that gets a thumbs up.

As for the hero product, the Liquid Gold, I'm still undecided how I feel about it. Admittedly I'm not sure I feel like it's improved my skin. If anything i feel super guilty for not waring a moisturiser on the nights i wear just the Liquid Gold. I wish I could have liked these products as the brand sounds like a good one and has had great reviews. Perhaps there is something else by this brand that may suit me better, but sadly I don't think the Liquid Gold range was for me.

Please remember this is just my experience and yours may be different. My advice is to perhaps go and get some sample sachets if you can and see how it works for you.If you've had any experience with this brand I'd love to hear your thoughts.
