When I first laid eyes on Lavinia Pre-Treatment Essence and Lavinia Youth Regenerating Serum, I was captivated by the luxurious dark blue packaging of the skincare bottles.

I started with the Pre-Treatment Essence, which I used immediately after cleansing my face. It had a pleasant scent that was easy on the nose but I especially liked its lightweight texture that absorbed very quickly into my skin.

Then, I applied the Youth Regenerating Serum on my face and neck. The scent took a little time to get used to, but I was able to forgive its odd-smelling aroma as the serum made my skin feel firmer and more supple after 14 days.

Personally, I enjoyed using both the pre-essence and anti-ageing serum in my daily skincare routine. Within the two-week review period, I observed positive changes to my skin firmness, tone, softness, overall skin health as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – all without clogging pores or causing irritation.

I rely on collagen supplements and anti-ageing serums to take care of my skin, so I was excited to try the Youth Regenerating Serum by Lavinia to see if it’s the one for my skin.

Since the drugstore formula I previously used wasn’t as effective and had a slightly rich texture for my skin, I was hoping that the Youth Regenerating Serum will not be the same. To my pleasant surprise, it had a fast-absorbing consistency that left no residue on my skin at all.

My skin felt instantly hydrated, smoother, and more nourished after using the serum for the first time. After incorporating it into my daily skincare routine for two weeks, my skin felt plumper and my facial contour looked more lifted compared to before. While it’s worked better for me than other anti-ageing serums I’ve tried, I find that the anti-ageing serum doesn’t clog my pores which is a huge plus.

The Lavinia Pre-Treatment Essence, which I used together with the serum, is another product from the brand that I’d want to continue using. I find that it’s helped me sweep away dirt and unclog pores to give me a clearer, more refined skin texture while minimising fine lines.

Most anti-ageing serums I’ve tried left me with acne breakouts due to their heavy textures, but Lavinia Youth Regenerating Serum was unlike any of them.

In addition to the anti-ageing serum’s lightweight and easy-to-spread consistency, I also find that the formula has helped my skin become more hydrated, nourished, and even smoother in texture too – all without any negative reaction.

After 14 days, my skin feels plumper and healthier than before – I can safely say that the Lavinia Youth Regenerating Serum is the best anti-ageing serum I’ve tried so far!

Furthermore, using the serum with Lavinia Pre-Treatment Essence for two weeks was a five-star combination for me because the pre-essence had worked equally as well for my skin type – within first use, I’d noticed improvements in radiance, softness, and hydration on my skin.

Skin concerns: Dull skin, uneven skin tone, textured skin, visible/enlarged pores, blackheads/whiteheads

I was thoroughly impressed by how lightweight the pre-essence felt! Not only was it non-sticky and just mildly perfumed, but the Lavinia Pre-Treatment Essence also absorbed easily in seconds so I didn’t have to wait long before applying the next skincare product in my routine.

The Lavinia Youth Regenerating Serum nailed it for me too, as it delivered visible results in skin firmness, tone, overall skin health, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles within two days of usage.

Overall, I appreciate how beautiful the products were – from the packaging to the formula – and both were the best anti-ageing skincare products I’ve ever tried thus far.

In my bid to stave off the effects of ageing on my skin, I try to apply anti-ageing skincare daily and also incorporate a facial mask at night – I also try collagen supplements occasionally! Trying the Lavinia Revive skincare series for the first time, I was drawn to the prestigious, classy-looking bottles and could only hope that the formulas held within deliver visible results during this trial period.

Thankfully, both the Pre-Treatment Essence and Youth Regenerating Serum did what they promised to do for my skin while remaining lightweight and easily absorbed without any sticky after-feel. In 14 days, my skin felt softer, more supple, and hydrated, and I appreciate that both products didn’t clog my pores at all.

I consume collagen supplements frequently and include anti-ageing serums, moisturisers, ampoules, and masks in my daily skincare routine, so you can say that I certainly know what to look for in an anti-ageing skincare product.

Unfortunately, the Lavinia Youth Regenerating Serum didn’t work for me despite rave reviews shared by other Daily Vanity readers here – I’d done a patch test on my hand (like I always do with all skincare products) and the tested area broke out in rashes so I didn’t proceed to use it on my face.

That said, I’m glad I gave the Lavinia Pre-Treatment Essence a chance because the lightweight formula has improved my skin significantly in terms of radiance, softness, and hydration within just seven days of use while enhancing the efficacy of my skincare regimen.

All in all, I’d recommend the Pre-Treatment Essence to my social circle because of its effectiveness – as well as the beautiful, elegant packaging!

Skin type: Sensitive
Skin concerns: Dull skin, uneven skin tone, visible/enlarged pores, blackheads/whiteheads, pigmentation

I was initially worried if my sensitive skin could tolerate this anti-ageing duo but to my surprise, there weren’t any adverse side effects even as I tried the skincare products for the first time – this, to me, proved that the ingredients used in the formulas are natural and gentle to the skin.

With the Lavinia Youth Regenerating Seum, I’d usually use one pump of product for the entire face and neck but on days when my skin looks exceptionally tired, I’d go for two pumps to give my skin additional nutrients. While I had some concerns about the slightly rich texture, I was glad that the serum remained easy to spread on the skin and did not feel oily at all

The Pre-Treatment Essence also delivered what it promised – boosting my skincare regimen’s efficacy while moisturising my skin without any greasiness. What’s more, the product also helped take care of my skin’s radiance, suppleness, and fine lines without triggering any irritation.

Needless to say, I’m absolutely satisfied with both these products and am happy that they’ve worked very well for my skin type without clogging my pores.

Skin type: Combination-dry
Skin concerns: Dehydration, visible pores, blackheads/whiteheads

With its non-sticky, easy-to-absorb consistency, I must say that the Lavinia Youth Regenerating Serum performed as advertised because I could tell that my skin looked more even-toned and felt softer and more supple after using it for two weeks.

Unfortunately, the suppleness I observed on my skin didn’t seem to persist beyond the 10th day, which I wasn’t sure why that was the case.

The Pre-Treatment Essence, however, helped my subsequent skincare products apply better on my skin while boosting my skin’s radiance and moisture without any oiliness – so much so that I wanted to continue using the product after I used it for the first time.

I truly did not expect how much I would come to enjoy using the anti-ageing duo by Lavinia, and I’m pleasantly surprised that it worked well in our humid climate!

A light watery formula with a sweet aromatherapy scent, the Lavinia Pre-Treatment Essence absorbed into my skin readily and prepped it for my skincare routine that followed suit. I love how refreshing the formula felt on my skin after every application – no tightness or irritation whatsoever, just skin that felt hydrated and looked brighter upon the first application.

Lavinia’s Youth Regenerating Serum worked just as great for my skin type, as it gave me plumper, firmer, and more refined skin in just 10 days. In fact, my facial contour looks more lifted after using this product too!

What I also like about the serum is its gel-like texture, which was easy to apply onto the skin as it didn’t drip easily and cause a mess like other serums. Since it’s a non-greasy formula, I didn’t have to worry about any sticky residue lingering on the surface of my skin.

Personally, this anti-ageing serum has worked better for me than other anti-ageing serums that I have used previously as it got the job done without clogging my pores.
