During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I just couldn't convince myself not to buy the Westman Atelier Serum Duo (Westman Atelier Eye Activator Serum Reviewed HERE), and I am glad because I really love the face and eye serums.
Gucci Westman discusses the creation of the Westman Atelier Serums with the leading skin scientist, Dr. Raymond Park:
'Everything starts with the quality of the skin—including your makeup,' says Gucci of the impetus behind Skin Activator, the new Westman Atelier skincare serum packed with 12 potent actives that doubles as a luxurious makeup prep. Decades spent working as an editorial makeup artist in fashion and film has taught her that 'you’re only as good as your canvas,' Gucci continues. So when it came to formulating her first-ever pure skincare formula, she was on a major mission.
'I wanted something to intensively hydrate, calm, and tighten the skin,' Gucci recalls of a five-year journey in formulation that ultimately took her to Korea. There, she worked with leading skin scientist Dr. Raymond Park, whose breakthroughs include creating the world's first non-prescription formula to heal the skin barrier. When it came to her own dream skincare formula, Gucci says, 'it had to contain the right actives, at the right levels, to really correct and protect skin. And it had to work flawlessly with your makeup.
Together, they collaborated on a smart, skin-identical formula that includes four types of hyaluronic acid, peptides, niacinamide, prickly pear extract, and more. By harnessing an innovative delivery system known as multi-lamellar technology, the serum mimics skin’s natural structure, allowing it to deliver a checklist of highly stable ingredients—without disrupting it.
'My skin instantly feels juicier, tighter, more harmonious and awake,' Gucci says of gliding on three pumps of the weightless gel, which works for all ages and skin types, every morning. Whether she follows with face moisturizer or skips straight to foundation, 'it takes my skin—and my makeup—to the next level.' Before bed, she applies it again as an overnight treatment: 'When I wake up, my skin looks so calm, so even, so hydrated and healthy.'
Westman Atelier Skin Activator Serum is a formulated to protect the skin barrier, to deeply hydrate and calm the skin, and to soften the appearance of fine lines. Furthermore, this serum– which boasts 12 potent actives and 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid– makes my skin feel a bit more firm without feeling tight or unnatural. When my skin is irritated it calms down any redness, and it floods it with sustained hydration throughout the day. It is a lightweight and fast absorbing serum that melts into the skin, and it doesn't leave behind an oily or sticky residue. While it offers my skin deep hydration, I still use my face oil and a moisturizer after it sinks in, but I have tested it without either and my skin looked and felt beautifully hydrated, soft, supple and luminous. I love a good serum, and this is definitely that. It has no detectable aroma, and is such a joy to use. They offer refills– which is such a nice feature– and next time I will order that instead since buying the refills saves you $25.00.
According to Westman Atelier,
A hyper-potent serum that floods skin with 12 actives to soften fine lines, boost firmness and deeply hydrate.
This all-in-1 serum works in 3 ways for happier skin with every dose. 12 key ingredients plus smart, skin-identical science that’s made for all skin types.
Developed in partnership with Korea’s leading skin scientist and powered by a multi-lamellar delivery system, this formula deposits the right actives—at the right levels—without disrupting skin.
