Hailing from the magical landscapes of Greece, the freshly launched KORRES Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir definitely comes across as the brand’s most prestigious formula yet. This impressive concoction promises to hydrate, correct, and repair visible signs of aging with the help of Saffron Extract. Yes, what most of us associate with the exotic touch of spice and color in globally inspired culinary traditions, also boasts extremely high levels of the powerful antioxidant, crocin.
Know to be worth its weight in gold, Saffron lends its anti-aging talents to the latest KORRES formula to deliver a youthful, luminous complexion with a single application. For whom is the new Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir? For anyone looking to address loss of firmness, moisture or radiance. The cumulative effects of stress, oxidation, and environmental damage on our skin can result in hyperpigmentation, prematurely developed fine lines, or ruddiness. Chances are you can’t alter your lifestyle too much, so look to this small change in your skincare routine for significant improvement.
The new KORRES Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir is a powerhouse treatment that goes on clean skin before your moisturizer of choice. It’s a serum – pipette and all. Extremely lightweight in texture (not thin though), the formula is packed with the earlier mentioned Crocin Extract derived from hand picked crocus flowers in the Greek town of Kozani. It is combined with Beta Glucan Polysaccharide, which eliminates free radicals and repairs cell damage, making us look younger longer. Patented Hexapeptide-11 serves as the firming agent, low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid plumps up the skin, and added polysaccharides from oats and tamarind seeds soothe and soften for extended comfort.
The herbal floral aroma of KORRES Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir is divine. All you need are a couple of drops and the champagne hued, slightly iridescent potion sinks in within seconds without a trace of sparkle – just glow. Instantly brighter, your skin will feel noticeably softer but touching your face is never good, so try to restrain yourself. Amazing when worn day or night, the Saffron Elixir does especially well under makeup. While not recommended per se, I’ve combined it with a tinted moisturizer and achieved unsurpassed results.
I remember when KORRES apothecary formulas were scarce–almost impossible to find–and still long for the tall slim bottles of Body Waters of over a decade ago. That said, I am loving the brand’s growth and expansion. A summer doesn’t go by in this house without a stash of Basil Lemon shower gels. And nothing beats the Wild Rose Sleeping Facial in the overnight mask department.
