Review of Natio skin care routine – I have recently started using Natio products to establish a skin care routine after not having one for a long time. I’m 43 and don’t wear much make… Read more

up. I chose Natio after trying the tester for the smoothing face oil and loving it, however I didn’t get that product as it was sold out.

I am exceedly happy about the effects these products have had on my skin however, I have one major complaint that I’ll discuss below.

The products I’ve been using are listed here. I’m not reviewing them independently because I only use them in conjunction with each other. The combined effect is notably positive on my skin.

Renew roll-on eye serum

Ageless avanced firming serum

Renew line and wrinkle day cream & night cream (separate products)

Ageless rosehip oil cold-pressed

The eye serum roll on is easy to apply but takes a while to soak in compared to the face serum which definitely feels like it’s firming my face. The day and night creams are lovely. The day cream works well under make up.

My first time using facial oil. Compared to the smoothing oil that I tested, the rosehip seems lighter and I apply it mornings (just one squirt) as well as more liberally at night. It makes my skin glow. If I was skipping my night routine I think I would still apply a couple of drops of this. It needs a few minutes to soak in but I still feel it in my skin when I wake up.

Even though I only have one complaint about this range, I feel it’s quite major. I have a sensory processing disorder so I can be quite sensitive to products. The essential oils and fragrances in these products burn my eyes and leave me tears. I’m getting better at applying them. The eye serum is free of these so I apply it first. The facial serum is the biggest culprit and I have to apply it very carefully to keep it far away from my eyes and then not touch my eyes. Because I wear glasses, the “fumes” get concentrated and trapped behind my lenses. I will try the Renew serum next time to see if it better for me.

However, I love the effect of the serum, enough to persevere anyway. I used to use a tinted moisturiser and that was my whole routine. I didn’t see the value in applying three separate products to the same skin. I really feel the serum tightens my skin before I apply the moisturiser. I also feel the oil at the end seals in the moisture and adds a glow.

Price wise, I feel Natio is good value. I paid full price at a pharmacy. I got the Ageless serum because it was $7 less than the Renew serum but I couldn’t tell what the difference was. Now because the “fumes” irritate me I wish I’d paid the extra but i still don’t know what I’d be getting for it.

The reason I got a mix of Ageless and Renew was mostly due to availability. I got the eye cream for the roll on applicator but it takes ages to soak in, maybe a finger squirt would have been better. I like the softness of the skin around my eyes as it’s very delicate but I notice no difference to shadows.

Overall, I will never go back to occasionally applying moisturiser. I’m sold on having the full routine and I am very satisfied with this brand Natio and love the products.
