Rescue serum definitely RESCUED my skin!!
I’ve slowly been swapping all my skincare products out for shanidarden products. If I could recommend one product to try out first, it would have to be the rescue serum. This serum is the best and does the job!! I’ve been using the serum every other night. I’ve noticed less unevenness in my skins texture and tone. The rescue serum was complimentary from shanidarden but I definitively will be repurchasing and recommend to everyone.

Working serum for oily skin
I’ve been using the Rescue Serum With 10% Azelaic Complex, and I want to share my thoughts. With oily skin, I always look for products that not only tackle imperfections but also won’t overload my skin. This serum has been a game-changer! It effectively addresses uneven skin tone, post-acne marks, and reduces redness. Thanks to the 10% Azelaic Complex, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my skin – dark spots have faded, and blemishes are less visible. The non-comedogenic formula is perfect for oily skin, providing hydration without any greasy or heavy feel. *gifted by shani darden

Amazing
This serum is packed with azelaic acid which does wonders for the skin. I haven’t noticed any breakouts or purging occur by this product. Instead, it helped to calm my skin and reduce pimples and hyperpigmentation! Gifted by Shani Darden.

So soothing!
Gifted by Shani Darden. I love this smooth gel serum consistency. It’s really pleasant to apply. I do find this very calming on the skin and it’s my first time trying Azelaic Acid so I’m excited to see how it works over time. My skin texture did feel very smooth on the mornings after using this. I am using this every other day and I am experiencing no sensitivity.

Calms my skin
I am enjoying this serum. I find it helps to calm and soothe my easily irritated skin and redness. I use this every other evening because that seems to work best for me. This is hydrating and makes my winter skin feel refreshed. I received this complimentary from Shani Darden.
