Review - Yellow Gorse  - Radiance Firming Intense Facial Serum What its contains / ingredients Rosehip fruit oil Argan Oil Jojoba seed oil Safflower oil Borage oil Neroli Sweet Orange Cypress oil Myrrh Oil What it doesn't contain I can't find any information about what it doesn't contain, but Yellow Gorse products are Vegan, natural, ethically and locally sourced from Dorset, and from the texture of the product I can tell is doesn't contains any nasties, like parabens, silicones etc.  When it can be used I used this at night rather than the day, just as it takes a little while to sink in, and so I wouldn't be able to put makeup on top of this serum. But there is no directions from Yellow Gorse. Is it Lush?!? Yes. I really enjoyed using this products. It smells gorgeous, feels very fine on my skin but does take a little while to sink into my skin, so I tend to use it at night.  This serum to me was more o...

This is a two apart review and I will be posting part 2 next week, so stay tuned!! About A. Florence Skincare A.
