JARVIS COSMETICS REVIEW | Miracle Serum + Rejuvenating Cream

Watch my YouTube review here
About Jarvis Cosmetics
Jarvis Cosmetics is a new company that currently has two products available online, a Miracle Serum and Rejuvenating Cream as well as a set that contains both plus a bonus item. I was sent the set to review. 

Jarvis Cosmetics focuses on Traditional Korean Medicine practices, which aims to balance and improve the skin by focusing on restoring the skin to it's healthiest state. They use a lot of herbs to make their products and I have listed all the ingredients at the bottom of this post. 
Serum + Cream

Packaging
The packaging that the set comes in is really sturdy and packaged well. The products are inside a box and surrounded by foam so nothing was broken or leaked during transit. 

The company also said that they could be changing the packaging that the products currently come in, however I like the packaging that they have now! Both the serum and cream come in bamboo style containers that remind me of Tarte Cosmetic's bamboo packaging and brushes. 
Miracle Serum

Products
I've used both the serum and cream for over a month and a half. The directions recommended using them twice a day. In the morning after washing my face, I applied the serum, then if I felt like I needed some more moisture I applied some of the cream. At night I would wash my face, apply the serum, then apply the cream. 

The very first night I tried out these products I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and remember thinking that my face felt so moisturized! I haven't really used a face cream or lotion before because I just hadn't invested in one yet and I could definitely tell a difference when I used the cream! 

The serum was easy to apply. It comes in a push top bottle so I would use one squirt each time I applied it and would kind of pat it into my skin. I was traveling a lot while I was testing the serum and my skin tends to get irritated when I travel but other then that I didn't notice any issues or irrations arise from using these products. 

Both products have a pretty strong scent. If you've ever been to an Asian massage place or a spa it had a smell similar to that. Very strong herbal smells, that you will notice when you apply the product, however I did not think it was a bad scent. 
Rejuvenating Cream

Cost
The serum cost $59.99 while the cream is $54.99. The set comes with both the serum and the cream as well as a bonus bottle of the serum and is $99.99. 

Final Thoughts
Out of both the serum and the cream my favorite is the cream, mainly because for me I've used serums before and this was the first time I had used a cream/lotion for a long period and I loved how moisturized it made my skin. 

I also like how their focus is on improving your skin's natural health, instead of just focusing on restoring an issue on the surface (like acne or eczema). By focusing on the actual quality of the skin everything else will improve also! I'm a big fan of this because I used to struggle with eczema for over a year in high school and would use topical lotions to treat the issue but every time I tried to switch to a non-medicated lotion my eczema would return. So I know the importance of improving the skin's natural health.
