Isa Knox Te’rvina AD Prime Regenerating Elixir is a placental growth factor serum.
Actives:
- niacinamide
- peptide + growth factor complex.
On application:
Gel serum with a faint rosewater aroma, that glides over the skin with a pleasant water break effect. Feels wet on the skin after application, and dries down pretty quickly to a non-sticky finish.
My thoughts:
This begs for a comparison between it and AQ’s Active Serum. While AQ is a pretty functional (as in not very texturally refined) effective human-like growth factor serum, this is more of a luxe product with a more luxe feel. AQ’s action is easier to see, faster, and I prefer it overall. Te’rvina is a classic Korean serum – it’s very nice to use, gentle on the skin, but it doesn’t really pack a punch. It delivers in the long run, but after one bottle I don’t really have anything to say about it. It’s not very regenerating, which I wasn’t expecting based on the name.
For you, if: you’re looking for a hydrating-nourishing serum with additional well-aging benefits.
Not for you, if: you’re looking for a growth factor serum that will deliver results quickly, or you don’t need a nourishing serum.
