These past weeks have flown by! After sharing my First Impressions of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum (can be found here), As promised I have returned with my final review, let’s jump straight in!

I have been using the Magic Serum as part of my skincare routine both morning and evening. Half of the pipette per use is plenty for a full application. A quick recap of the Magic Serum.
What the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Promises:
- Instant Hydration
- Anti-aging – reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores
- Even and firm the complexion
- Leave you with younger looking skin
- Suitable for all skin types
For ingredients breakdown, texture and application review please see my First Impressions post.

My Review
After six weeks continual use I have seen some great effects from the Magic Serum. Instantly after applying my skin appears and feels more hydrated.. It immediately plumps and revitalises my skin leaving it looking healthy and glowing. Most noticeably has been the reduction in the appearance of my pores on my nose and cheeks. Now pores will never completely disappear however they are much less visible and my skin is smoother. It has helped to even my skin tone whilst relieving the dehydrated areas, no patchy skin is always a win. As a result of continual use skin is looking healthy and fresh, no complaints here!

I have experimented using the Magic Serum at various stages in my skincare routine. I always love to save time and mix my serum with my moisturiser on busy mornings. It works brilliantly with all my moisturisers without reducing the effectiveness of the serum.

Overall I am really pleased with the reduction in the appearance of my pores and improvement in my complexion. My skin feels more comfortable and hydrated and looks healthy and glowing. As you can see I have made my way through the bottle it is now empty, lasting roughly eleven weeks with daily use. Would I repurchase? an easy yes! If you are looking for a hydrating boost and glowing skin from your routine this could be for you.

Thank you for reading, I love to see empties as well! Have a great weekend Paige! Sarah
I love Charlotte Tilbury products but only ever pick them up every once in a while as a bit of a treat to myself. Next time I’m in the mood to splurge on a skincare product I’ll definitely be picking this up x

Thank you for reading! Sarah
This packaging is adorable. It’s never too early to invest in good skin and I’m always looking for products to postpone fine lines as long as I can!
Anything that helps! Thank you for reading!
This sounds like such a lovely product. I’m always looking for something to reduce the appearance of pores so maybe next time I want to treat myself I’ll keep this in mind!

I love that you’ve shared an update on how you got on with this serum. Yes, it’s pricey but clearly worth it as it’s effective and the bottle has lasted a long time – I hope your hints are listened to! I’ve been using a Vitamin C serum for the last few months and been very impressed with that too. Incorporating a serum into a skincare routine is such an easy step, but one that I’d never skip now. 🙂 Lisa
So pleased you have found a good serum Lisa, I think serums are my favourite part of my routine – quick and easy and packed with goodness! I sent the other half the link for it I don’t think I can be any more obvious! Thank you for reading! Sarah
I love reading reviews like this! I have used Charlotte Tilbury products a few times, thank you for sharing!

It is great that you got to spend some time to really feel the effects of Charlotte Tilbury’s serum. I’m glad to hear that you noticed some longer term benefits. Sometimes, you need to commit to using a product to really feel the effects. Big plus that your pore appearance reduced a well. Glad you enjoyed it overall!

I have been debating buying this product for a while now but am always wary spending so much ££ on skincare, I came across your post and it was really helpful thank you! I think I need to bite the bullet and make a purchase now 🙂 x
Thank you so much Ellie! Let me know if you do try! Sarah
This looks like an absolutely luxurious product – I don’t think I’ll be trying it until I have a bit more money though! I’m glad that you were able to see visible results, it seems like it would be great for my skin too x
Thank you for reading! I was really pleased with the long term results, do let me know if you try! Sarah
