KORRES Wild Rose Collection


Wild Rose Oil is a natural source of vitamin C, which demonstrates significant ability to reduce the look of fine lines and skin discolorations. Wild Rose Oil also forms a protective film on the skin that prevents damage caused by drying, and improves skin texture.

First up in KORRES Wild Rose collection is the Daily Brightening & Refinishing Buff Cleanser ($28.00), which is a gentle skin brightening cleanser that exfoliates skin naturally using a dual-action process to uncover even, luminous skin.


I instantly fell in love with the amazingly creamy texture of this daily exfoliating cleanser, and I also really appreciate how the rice grain and cherry stone do not magically vanish once I start rubbing my face, allowing for a gentle yet deep cleansing action. This cleanser leaves my skin fresh while instantly brightening my complexion, which will be hugely appreciated in the dull winter weather. I was surprised that this is actually gentle enough for daily use, even for my super dry and ezcema-prone skin! Oh, and did I mention the amazing scent, just like a fresh bouquet of roses?

The product I was the most excited to try in the Wild Rose range was the Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial ($54.00), because... a sleeping facial - really? Have you ever heard of such a thing? This product is more than a mask, and more than a night cream - it is an overnight facial-in-a-jar with Vitamin C from Wild Rose Oil that works while you sleep to renew dull, tired skin by morning.


This sounded like the perfect remey for my dry skin, and I was not disappointed - I even saw results by the third use! I absolutely love the weightless soufflé texture that instantly melts into my skin to leave it extremely smooth, soft and moistured by morning, and best of all, this product won't leave your face - or pillow, or hair! - even the slightest greasy!

I was also blowned away by the Instant Brightening Eye Treatment ($42.00), which never fails to leave my eyes looking brighter and more luminous - yes, after just one application! The velvety, never greasy and quickly absorbed cream is a dream to use, and it makes me look awake in an instant.


Luckily, I don't have to deal with dark circles - yet - but this product is said to help to add radiance to the delicate eye area while minimizing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. Rose-gold toned optical brighteners add instant luminosity, revitalizing the eye area so eyes appear brighter and more incandescent after just one application.

The only thing I don't like is the applicator - the hole is a bit too big when you only need a small quantity of product. Otherwise, I swear I still can't believe how luminous my eyes look when I use this - now, nobody has to know when I woke up at 6:00 in the morning!

Overall, I am hugely impressed by these Wild Rose products and I can't recommend them enough! Be sure to also check out KORRES Wild Rose Face & Eye Serum - wich I reviewed here - and the 24-hour Moisturising & Brightening Cream.

KORRES products are available at selected Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora retailers nationwide.
