Marshmallow serum?

Boots Botanics Skin Relief Serum Ultra Calm

£8.99

Yes you read that right, marshmallow, the chewy, fluffy sweet thing. On your face? I wasn't so sure either but now I am!

This face serum from Boots Botanics range is a part of the 'calming' collection aimed at reducing redness and skin sensitivity. Personally I suffer a lot from redness, dryness and angry itchy skin, I have yet to find the cause of this however in the process I have tried a lot of products aimed at reducing these symptoms. When I spotted the 'ultra calm' title I was immediately curious as to what ingredients were being used, I was surprised to find that one of them was indeed marshmallow. According to them "Marshmallow is nature's soothing star. The roots are packed with natural sugars and polyphenols that work together to help leave skin less reactive and altogether calmer", this ingredient works together with liquorice and Linden flower, which after further research I have found can be used to treat itchy skin! 

So that's what they say, as for me I totally agree. This serum is so light and soothing to apply especially on bad skin days, it's brilliant for sensitive skin and really does make a difference in hydration and redness. Obviously as with most products it does need regular use to show results and I have to admit when I get lazy with it it does show in my skin. They say it can reduce sensitivity in just 2 weeks, so i would definitely give it a go if your struggling with angry skin.
