I'm a huge lover of British brand OSKIA. OSKIA is a natural skincare brand with a nutritional focus. Their Renaissance Mask is my all time favorite. Next I would like to talk about the Get Up & Glow serum. Described as a Radiance & Energy Booster. Details per OSKIA:

This serum has a stunning pink glow to it that will wake up & illuminate any complexion. Perfect for a morning pick me up. The slippery hydrating texture plays well with others and has no layering issues. The scent is light with the standard OSKIA rose-lychee perfume which is a fresh light scent that I find so pleasant in OSKIA products. This serum is packed full of skin nutrients like vitamin E, MSM, milk peptides (lift, firm, tone), yeast lysate (yeast cell derivative to promote healthy cell function), prebiotics, oligasaccharides & biosaccharides, sodium hyaluronate, riboxil (sugar to energize and revitalize), butterbur (reduce redness and irritation), swiss apple stem cells & galactorabinan (vegetable alternative to collagen). Whew. That's a lot of skin loving ingredients. This is a soothing, hydrating and energizing serum. It's like a multi-vitamin for your face.
MSM is a sulfur compound found naturally in our bodies and some plants. You can take MSM as a supplement for joint health and it touts other uses and claims. It's also been talked about as the beauty mineral to help with anti-aging and skin health. It does this by supporting collagen production and health, as well as being anti-inflammatory. Read more HERE and HERE about MSM benefits.
This serum comes packaged in a clear glass bottle with dropper style for dispensing. The dropper is not my favorite package if you know me. This was my second bottle of this serum and the first bottle I had came in a glass pump style package which I much preferred to this one. I don't know why they changed to a dropper. However, the serum inside is well worth the trouble of a dropper. This serum may not be some big retinol anti-aging powerhouse or an antioxidant cocktail, but it feeds your face tons of skin loving ingredients that give my skin this happy healthy glow. That's what I noticed the most when I got to the end of this bottle--My face just looked so hydrated and healthy. I would absolutely repurchase. You can grab it here--Get Up & Glow
