Something Different Sunday - OWN Serum and Night Cream review

Both OWN products were provided to me for review.  Regardless, I make every effort to have my reviews be unbiased and honest.

Through my relationship with iFabbo, I received the Own Firming Silk Concentrate and Refining Moisture Night Cream to try.

The bottle of Silk Concentrate is a generous size - you don't need much, so 1 oz will last a while.  The serum is fairly light and colorless,  It behaved like an oil for me.


I love serums, and this one is paraben, sulfate and retinol-free.  I applied it both in the morning by itself, and in the evening with the night cream, as directed.  The company says that 95% of women agree that these products absorb quickly.

Apparently, I am the 5%.  I couldn't wear makeup over the serum, no matter how long I waited.  When I woke up in the morning, my face would be greasy from applying the products the night before.


I suspect my skin just doesn't need as much moisture as these products provide.  For a 40+ year old woman, I have more problems with pimples than wrinkles.  I suspect these would work better for those women with problem wrinkles and sagging skin.


The products claim to be fragrance-free, but I wasn't a fan of the smell.  I will admit, though, that I am one of those women that likes her luxury products to be the whole package - smell great, look great - AND work.  The packaging for the cream had a weird rubberized texture that picked up every lint fuzzy and dog hair in my bathroom, unfortunately.  It did make it easier to hold the bottle, though.


After using the products for about 2 weeks and still having the greasy face problem, I decided to use the products on my neck and torso instead.  They are great for a hydrating body treatment.  The night cream made a great hand cream as well.

Both products sell for $24.99 on their website.  For more information, or to order, please click on my affiliate link:  HERE.

  1. You are not the only one who had a problem with the serum. In fact, I was worried I had used it wrong or something because it was so greasy!

    1. You and I are in that 5%! I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me.. I'm still using it on my body, and I don't have the greasy feeling there, or I just don't notice it. I'm hoping it'll firm up my breasts! haha

Thank you for your comments! They mean so much to me, and I read all of them, even if I don't always have a chance to respond.
