Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum was born out of the desire to have a luxury, highly active serum free from harmful toxins. Disappointed with all-natural products that weren’t in fact “all-natural” vintner, April Gargiulo, along with natural beauty industry experts, spent two years researching and formulating the luxury facial oil.
At the heart of this powerful phytoactive treatment are energy dense botanicals that infuse every drop of Active Botanical Serum with anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, firming phytoceramides, nourishing fatty-acids and powerful antioxidants. These elements along with a targeted essential oil selection help to fight signs of aging; stimulate cellular turnover; maintain skin elasticity; strengthen capillaries; inhibit melanin production; deliver oxygen to cells and protect against free-radical damage. Because the skin fully recognizes the plant actives as the nutritive building blocks of its own structure, skin becomes more healthy, radiant and youthful.
The serum is made from over 20 raw, unprocessed oils. Developing a serious cult following since it’s launch, recently Celebrity makeup artists including Alice Lane, Mary Phillips (J.Lo, Christy Teigan, Khloe Kardashian) and Andrea Tiller (Allison Williams, Amy Schumer, Olivia Palermo) have been ordering this multi-correctional, game-changing serum in preparation for awards season for its antioxidant, skin firming and radiance boosting effects.
It features a base of grapeseed oil, which has been infused with active botanicals in an 8-week, temperature-controlled extraction process that results in a product that delivers better anti-aging performance. Additional botanicals and nourishing oils have been blended in for even more brightening, anti-inflammatory, firming, nourishing, circulation-boosting, and antioxidant benefits.
All ingredients in Vintner’s Daughter are organic, wild-crafted, or sustainably harvested from the highest quality growers; they’re also used in some of the highest concentrations in the industry, and combined to allow specific synergies to occur. They also happen to provide the product with a multi-layered, sophisticated scent. And its small particle size and dry oil texture mean that it’s immediately absorbed into the skin, leaving a glow but no greasiness.
I tried the uber-luxe oil for three weeks. I only needed about 5 drops for my entire face. I was impressed with the lovely scent, the extensive skin-healing ingredient list, and the loving care taken when processing the ingredients. This is a luxury skin oil, and the ingredients are top shelf! Unfortunately, I am allergic to an ingredient in the oil (probably the citrus). I have very sensitive skin, an auto-immune condition (which makes my skin extra reactive), and I’m particularly allergic to Vitamin C (which is NOT the case for most people!). I have reluctantly given this beautiful oil to my fiance (I so wanted to keep it!), but the good news is that he loves it! And his skin is less temperamental, and more on the dry side (I have dehydrated skin, but with hormonal acne), so it is perfect for him. He loves the light, non-greasy feel that makes his skin soft and youthful-looking. He doesn’t spend a lot of time on his skin, so he appreciates how easy the oil is to apply. And, of course, we both appreciate the long-term anti-aging prevention!
