Kat Burki Complete B Illume Brightening Serum | Review

 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

That I have a penchant for ultra-luxe face serums is so obvious at this point that it barely needs to be stated. However, one might be surprised to hear, given the sheer number that I test, that I still become indescribably giddy when I come across on that is truly exceptional. This is precisely how I reacted when I began testing Kat Burki Complete B Illume Brightening Serum. This silky-smooth luxurious serum delivers real results, is an unmitigated pleasure to use, and it smells heavenly.

About Kat Burki,

Kat Burki utilises Applied Nutritional Sciences to deliver the most effective formulations for the skin through technology and cutting-edge nutritional research. Intelligent ingredient combining to create super nutrient complexes, are then Cold Processed to ensure maximum efficacy for optimal skin health.
KAT BURKI Complete B Illume Brightening Serum is an effective skin brightening serum that is formulated to treat, and fade, photo-damage (hyperpigmentation), soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and brighten the complexion. Its lovely featherweight consistency boasts an aromatic gel-like texture that immediately sinks into the skin without leaving behind any sort of residue. The aroma is what I would describe as an herbal fruity floral, is incredibly pleasant, but it does fade quickly, and will not likely pose a problem for people who prefer unscented skincare products. Formulated to penetrate the dermal layer, this serum promises to restore damaged cells to reveal a more youthful appearance and more even skin tone. I cannot see or comment on what is occurring at the dermal level of my skin, or about the restoration of damaged skin cells, but I can most assuredly tell you precisely what this luxurious serum has done for the overall observable appearance of my skin.

After using this serum for a couple of weeks I noted an overall improvement in the clarity of my skin, and a serious brightening and glowing effect. I do not have a lot of photo-damage, but I definitely have some, and after about a month I have definitely noted that the hyperpigmentation had begun to fade. Furthermore, this nourishing elixir plumps fine lines and leaves my skin soft, smooth, hydrated and luminous. I simply apply it to my face, neck and décolleté after cleansing, and before my face oil, and let it work its magic. It is a tremendous pleasure to use, and I can already tell you that I will splurge another bottle when I finish this one!

According to Kat Burki,

The phenomenal penetration of these chirally correct compounded skin brighteners in this product make photo damage and aging skin a thing of the past. Proper penetration is the key, and the inconsequential epidermis is not what needs attention. The dermal level is what needs to be addressed as miniscule scar tissue builds up and skin clarity and brightness is compromised. This product has been formulated to in fact penetrate fully into the dermal layer. Witch Hazel, Reishi Mushroom, Alpha Arbutin and Schisandra, clinically proven to be more effective than hydroquinone, work together in a Super Nutrient Complex formulated to restore damaged cells to their youthful integrity for a younger more even skin tone.
Directions: Cleanse skin first and pat dry. Apply a small amount to entire face, neck and décolleté. Allow to dry. Kat Burki suggests that you follow with Kat Burki complete B Bio-Correcting Face Crème or complete B Vital Hydration Mask. For AM/PM use. Can be used daily under makeup, and/or as a spot treatment.

Put more simply, I will most definitely purchase  a replacement as soon as I finish up this bottle. I am so delighted by this serum that I am eagerly looking forward to trying more Kat Burki products.

    1. It really is. The aroma is pretty subtle, and it does fade quickly– so I do think that it would work for you, Marcia. That said, if at all possible you might seek out a sample to smell first. The gel-like texture is VERY fast absorbing– so it disappears immediately into the skin.
