SkinMedica has revolutionised the anti-ageing category with the launch of the Biometa Essential Serum™ exclusively in the UK – the first all-in-one anti-ageing treatment. It combines the benefits of the patented serum, Biometa Complex™ with potent antioxidants, peptides, skin brightening and innovative anti-ageing ingredients that provide long term and immediate plumping of lines and wrinkles.

I was very lucky to be given a bottle by Carly from Skinbrands to try!

Biometa Essential Serum™ is the result of over three years of innovative scientific research that targets the natural ageing pathways of the skin. Biometa Essential Serum™ unlocks the rejuvenation process, resulting in long lasting natural beauty.

The product is in fact 2 separate ones which are pumped onto the hand and mixed together before applying to the face.

Chamber one - BIOMETA COMPLEX™ - Bioscientifically designed and developed by SkinMedica with novel ingredients, featuring Pichia Pastoris Ferment Filtrate which has been clinically proven to stimulate the skin’s natural growth factors and work on over 30,000 genes to repair and remodel the skin.

Chamber two - Corrective Complex, a potent mixture of antioxidants for protection, peptides and speciality ingredients that stimulate the skin’s natural ability to regenerate, fight against environmental damage, immediately smooth & tighten the skin, brighten and lighten the skin and age spots.

In clinical studies, Biometa Essential Serum™ showed results in all visible signs of ageing that appeared short-term and continued over time. Patients in the studies reported significant improvement in the following:
•88%: improved the appearance of wrinkles
•97%: product is convenient to use
•97%: improved skin smoothness
•91%: product led to tighter, firmer skin
•91%: improved skin softness
•91%: improved skin texture



This product isn’t cheap, but if you add the cost of what is spent on other skincare products in your daily skincare regime e.g. an antioxidant serum, peptide serum and brightening & tightening products, it doesn’t sound too bad.

I have been using it for about 6 weeks now and although that’s not long enough to provide a true review of a product, I have noticed how much smoother and softer my skin looks & feels.
I have been applying it twice a day. In the morning after cleansing followed by my sunscreen and at night after cleansing.

I think it is great for people who want a no-hassle skincare regime with only one product to apply.
And it really does contain some excellent anti-ageing ingredients (peptides, growth factors, antioxidants, etc.).
I am not sure if there is any other skincare product out there which contains all those anti-ageing ingredients in just one product.

The negative point is that I did have problems with the pump. Sometimes only one side of the pump was working, so I was only getting the APS Corrective Complex part. I really had to play around with it to get both to come out together.
Also a couple of times a week at night, I would need to apply a moisturiser afterwards because my face was a bit dry. I have normal skin not dry, so I would imagine people with dry skin using it would need to regularly apply a moisturiser at night.

To be honest, I am not sure if it beats my usual regime of applying Skinceuticals antioxidant Phloretin CF, followed by Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex & SPF.
