A Review of Mambino Youth Glow Omega Face Complex


Introduction

My complexion has a tendency to be dry and sensitive to many products. I have monthly flare-ups with areas of breakouts that can be quite painful. Recently I tried a new product to help combat the dryness and soothe the inflammation. I was looking for something that would moisturize my skin without causing oiliness that would lead to more breakouts.

About the product:

Youth Glow by Mambino Organics is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It contains rosa mosqueta, evening primrose and sea buckthorn and is high in essential fatty acids which nourishes the skin. The product describes itself as " revealing fresher, smoother and more radiant looking skin."

How I tested the product:

I have been using it for one month now.

Pros


  • Does not irritate my sensitive skin.
  • Certified organic ingredients.
  • Pleasant smell - although for people who like fragrance free the aroma might be too strong. I am sensitive to many perfumes but I really like this. It has an orange/rose aroma.
  • Reasonably priced - cost me $24 and as you only need a couple of drops the 1 fl oz bottle should last as long as most serums. In my opinion you don't need a serum with this product and you may not need a moisturizer on top, although I still use a moisturizer in addition to this product.
Cons

  • I don't know that any of the ingredients specifically target anti-aging as do many serums that are currently on the market.
  • The scent might irritate some.

Conclusion

I like this product and was quite impressed that it did not cause any more breakouts. I used it on inflamed areas and it did not irritate. I feel the product lives up to its promise of calming sensitive skin. It actually feels like it has healing properties too and the ingredients look good. My skin feels moisturized hours after I have applied it. I am happy with my purchase.

I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Anything that calms my skin is good in my book.
