About Elisabecca Milky Piggy Hellpore Gold Essence
This is a good old skincare ampoule (aka serum) with a golden twist. Enriched with beneficial skin care ingredients like niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and herbal extracts, Elizabeca Gold Essence nourishes your skin with this powerful cocktail.
Elizavecca Gold Essence* ampoules are available on the official website or on Amazon. For 50 ml (1.68 oz) of the product, you should pay around $24.
Packaging:
Nothing surprising here. For easy and hygienic application, just use your trusty old dropper bottle. Everything is packaged in a simple cardboard box with a very beautiful white and gold design with an industrial feel.
Texture and aroma:
Elizabeca Milky Piggy Hellpore Gold Essence is a clear, slightly viscous serum. Enriched with gold nanoparticles (100ppm), this serum looks beautiful on your skin and makes you feel good, but we’re not sure if it actually has an impact on your skin’s health. I was pleasantly surprised by the scent of high-quality herbs. It’s a bit bitter, like a medicine, but it’s also fresh, and it’s a nice contrast from the sweetness and confectionery aromas.
material:
But no one buys a new skin serum just because of the packaging or the nice scent. We love them because of their activating and moisturizing ingredients, right? So we suggest taking a closer look at some of the most interesting and effective ingredients contained in this formula.
- Niacinamide: A type of vitamin B3 that is a true “all-rounder”. Visibly improves enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and dullness while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier.
- Sodium hyaluronate: Think of sodium hyaluronate as a “mini” version of hyaluronic acid. Its molecules are much smaller, so it penetrates deeper into the skin instead of sitting on top of it.
- Gold (100ppm): Not only does it look luxurious, but the gold particles stimulate blood circulation, provide antioxidant properties, and give your skin a glow that glows from within.
Plant extracts with soothing and skin repair properties
- Allantoin: Extracted from the comfrey plant, this is an incredibly soothing ingredient that heals minor inflammation and promotes skin cell regeneration.
- Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract: Derived from German chamomile, these are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and are perfect for calming red and stressed skin.
- Lavender angustifolia (lavender) extract: In addition to its fragrance, lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that balance the skin’s oil production and soothe the surface.
- Mentha Piperita (peppermint) leaf extract: Gives a gentle cooling sensation and wakes up tired skin.
- Rosemary leaf extract: It is rich in antioxidants that help protect your skin from environmental stressors (such as pollution) and maintain elasticity.
Does gold really have an effect on skin care?
Gold-infused serums and masks certainly win points for “shelf life” appeal, but their effectiveness in skin care is the subject of ongoing debate in dermatology. Proponents suggest that colloidal gold may act as a carrier for other active ingredients, have an anti-inflammatory effect, and calm redness. However, many experts claim that gold is chemically inert and does not easily react with or penetrate the skin barrier. If you look at the size of this golden particle, you can see that it cannot be absorbed into the skin and actually have any effect.
How to use Elisabecca Milky Piggy Hellpore Gold Essence
There are many ways to incorporate your favorite face serum into your skin care routine. Here are three of my favorite ways to maximize hydration and skin brightening benefits. Consider these three application methods:
- 1. Using water or toner: For a light and refreshing feel, apply the essence to slightly damp skin. Water helps disperse the hyaluronic acid and gold particles evenly and quickly without stickiness.
- 2. When using face cream: If your skin feels particularly dry, mix a few drops of the essence directly into your favorite moisturizer. This creates a DIY “super cream” that enhances the emollient properties of the lotion and locks in moisture, leaving your skin feeling dewy and glassy.
- 3. Under the sheet mask: This is probably my favorite! Just apply a few drops of the serum to your skin and neck before applying the sheet mask. The mask’s physical barrier acts as an occlusion, pushing the essence’s active ingredients deep into the dermis for intense radiance and maximum absorption.
My experience using Elisabecca Gold Essence
Spreading this essence provides an incredibly soothing and cooling sensation, making it the perfect follow-up to cleansing and toning. I prefer to apply it on damp skin so that the formula spreads effortlessly and locks in moisture. As for the “viral” gold particles, most of them stay on the surface and eventually fall off once the serum is fully absorbed into the skin.
I woke up the next morning after my first night’s use with a natural glow. There was a bit of oiliness around the bridge of my nose and nostrils, but the overall feeling was plump and moisturized. In the future, I plan to combine it with a stronger moisturizer.
Final verdict…
Hydration: 👍👍👍👎(9/10)
Texture: 👍👍👍👎(7/10)
Overall: 👍👍👍👎 (8/10)
Like most hyaluronic acid-based skin serums, Milky Piggy Hellpore Gold Essence is extremely powerful and instantly boosts skin hydration. Leave your skin feeling smooth and plump with a glass-like glow in the morning. Featuring skin-evening niacinamide and soothing allantoin at the top of the ingredient list is a thoughtful and welcome addition. Your skin care routine can never have enough of these effective active ingredients.
What should I change? I will definitely ask Elizabecca to reduce the size of the gold flakes. If the golden particles could be hydrolyzed, they would be able to penetrate the skin. The description states that the ingredients contain gold (100 ppm), which is a very common marketing tactic to draw attention to a product, but I’m not sure if this refers to the visible gold particles or if the essence is infused with additional gold nanoparticles.
