On the recommendation of a friend I bought this serum last week and so far, first impressions are good. The issue my friend had with her skin was that it was dry and sore from being reactive to the weather. This isn’t actually something I have a major issue with but from time to time after a particularly bracing dog walk it can happen. My friend attributed her newly hydrated and comfortable, moisturised skin to Neurophroline serum, citing it better and more effective than hyaluronic acid – and that’s what made me buy it before she’d barely finished her sentence!
I’ve even had Lucy trying it out on her super sensitive skin and she’s been able to use it with no problems at all which is a miracle in itself. I know very little about neurophroline so I’m taking my cue from the Victoria Health website that explains it better than I ever could. However, top line is that it’s an extract from wild indigo that helps to break down cortisol production and activates a natural calming neuropeptide within the skin. In this formulation, 2% neurphroline is blended with hyaluronic acid and liposomes and together they’re a power team. So, at this early stage, noticeable results are that it forms a kind of very, very fine barrier layer that feels protective without feeling at all intrusive and seems to hold in moisture as well as boost regular moisturising effects. You can mix it with your daily moisturiser both night and day. I feel like I’ve been let in on some kind of skin care secret with this – hearing my friend’s results first hand, the fact that Lucy can use it on her sensitive skin and its being helpful in hydration and calming, and what I can feel on my own skin I’m happy to do an early stage recommendation. It’s £18 HERE. Don’t blame me if you get addicted :-).

This sounds really interesting and I e been looking for something particularly for when I’m out walking or gardening Also slightly off topic, but…due to anti rejection drugs I’m taking now making me more vulnerable to skin cancer I’ve been advised to wear factor 50 every day so I’m looking for a moisturiser (rather than a sunscreen) that my irritable skin can tolerate – I’ve already made two mistakes a product from Elf and another from Lancôme – any suggestions please!! Help! Thanks in advance!❤️
I would always suggest Avene for vulnerable skin or skin that is reactive – it’s always impossible without trying to know how a sunscreen and a moisturiser will get along together, assuming you are layering, but REN Evercalm range might be another good option for you combined with REN SPF.
Oh great thanks Jane…I’ve used a few REN products before and always been ok with them, especially love the 1min Facial. I’m also slightly confused by the whole factor 50 info in general as I recently read an article where another doc said anything above factor 35 was a waste of time…!!?♀️ My goodness skincare has become SO complex… Off to investigate REN. Thanks again.
It’s far too complicated I agree – my view would be to use SPF30 and above on your face but in a format that you like. You also need to remember you aren’t sunbathing (I assume) day to day so incidental sun isn’t the same as basking in it. I’m probably a bit too relaxed on that front – I don’t mind a bit of sun on my face and body but I’m careful.
I’ve been using the Neurophroline serum for some time and love it, but have had seriously good results layering it under the GOW Super Bakuchiol serum and the Victoria Health Fulvic Acid cream. It’s a very powerful combination.
Ooh, thank you for letting me know.. 🙂
