According to Own Firming Silk Concentrate, 

Visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for more vibrant skin. The naturally derived and patented CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) formula in Own Anti-Aging Firming Silk Concentrate works with your body to treat all three layers of skin through a power-packed serum that’s proven to absorb easily without leaving a residue. Own Firming Silk Concentrate works with your own body’s chemistry to reactivate healthy processes and rebuild the skin’s structures for brighter, taut, and genuinely younger-looking skin. 

Product Details:
● Retinol-free formula 
● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness 
● Dermatologist-tested 
● Fragrance-free 
● Paraben-free
● Sulfate-free


My experience: First of all, I have to say from the outset that I am in love with this serum, and as one who has spent hundreds of dollars on single serums- I do not say this lightly. This is a light runny liquid that looks like water, but feels like silk as the name suggests. Upon applying it to my skin I notice an immediate softening and hydrating effect. I have used it at night only, and then used it both day and night- and definitely noticed that using it twice a day is twice as good. I simply add a drop or two to the palm of my hand and then massage it into my skin, and voilà- beautifully glowing bright happy skin. I love that it only includes four ingredients- none of which are unhealthy. After extended use there is a definite plumping of fine lines and increased clarity, and it  has never caused my combination skin to break out. It  has the perfect weight and consistency, and isn't at all greasy. This is a beautiful product, and the price is unbelievably low for what you are getting!

Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Coco-Caprylate, Conjugated Linoleic Acid*, Tocopherol. 
*CLA Patented Plant Technology™
Overall assessment: This is a very high quality and effective anti-aging "power-packed serum" that has really impressed this skincare obsessed girl! I now want to try their eye cream!

According to Own, 
Hydrate and illuminate your skin nightly with a luxurious formula designed to fight all three causes of aging while you rest. Own Anti-Aging Refining Night Cream features clinically proven CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) technology, a plant-based ingredient designed to enhance collagen levels, improve moisture retention, and boost metabolism for softer, smoother, and genuinely younger-looking skin. 94% of women who tried Own Anti-Aging Refining Night Cream reported that it absorbs easily and penetrates the skin quickly.

Product Details
● Retinol-free
● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
● Dermatologist-tested
● Paraben-free
● Sulfate-free

My experience: This is a lightweight and fast absorbing night cream that feels amazing on the skin. It is a deeply hydrating anti-aging cream that is as gentle as it is effective. Upon application I notice a slight cooling effect and tingle, but it is pleasant and refreshing rather than uncomfortable. It feels soothing very soothing to my combination skin, and makes my skin smooth and supple. When I wake up the following morning my skin has greater clarity, a noticeably increased moisture level, and a beautiful and smooth texture. I find it remarkable that Own is able to harness such a potent anti-aging formula at such an affordable price point. It's also remarkable that it is this effective without containing any retinol! This is a really unique product that has truly piqued my interest in all of their products. This is a company to watch, and definitely a line worth trying. I suspect that most people who try their products will quickly become devotees.
Ingredients: Water (Eau), Pelargonium Gravolens Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Glycolic Acid, Coco-Caprylate, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes*, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil Dimethicone, Squalane, Sodium Hydroxide, Tocopherol, Conjugated Linoleic Acid*, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Hydrogenated Palm Gycerides, Sclerotium Gum, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Lecithin, Carnosine, Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Germ Extract, Bisabolol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol
