2019 has been the year of skincare discovery for me - well, building on the knowledge 2018 taught me; when it comes to taming my rancid face with lotions, potions, serums & oils. I've even got marginally better at keeping my skincare enthusiasm and routine up, actually doing the different steps most / some nights.
My increased familiarity with key skincare ingredients, what they treat & when it's best to use them meant I was super excited to receive these affordable, vegan-friendly serum concentrates from Pro Co recently. Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin C... all these buzz words sound exactly like the kinda things my knackered old skin needs.
Let's unpack them and learn more about the brand in this first impressions, brand introduction post.

So, as mentioned, the three serums included in this post are totes vegan-friendly; which I massively applaud. ALSO their packaging is 98% plastic free, which is another value I'm all about. And as a final, icing on the cake benefit; they're just £7.99 each on Amazon - and clicking on any of the product links below will give you 20% off your item(s) when purchased through there.
Affordable, ethical, vegan-friendly & striving for a sustainable world? YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE, Pro Co.
So, as you may have guessed if you're somewhat familiar with skincare, the Vit C & Eye Serum in this trio of dreams are meant for use in the day; with the Retinol best used at night, so it can get to work on fresh skin as you sleep. They're in handy, industry-size dropper bottles with great concentrations & science behind their formulas - let's take a look at each one. And get those discount links out!
Pro Co Vit C Serum*
This fab serum [containing must-have Hyaluronic acid] boasts a unique combo of 10 active & natural ingredients to reduce the signs of ageing & leave skin glowing.
Pro Co's Vitamin C Serum aims to reduce the signs of ageing by helping reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, age spots and by brightening dull, faded looking skin. Its inclusion of Hyaluronic acid delivers intense hydration to revitalise, lift and firm your skin. And the Vitamin C in its rich formula stimulates the skins production of collagen; leaving skin looking rejuvenated.
A nice, lightweight serum you're fine to apply in a morning before your makeup. Quickly absorbed & a little goes a long way.
Pro Co Retinol Serum*
Retinol is bae when it comes to tackling wrinkles and keeping the skin looking youthful. This serum is again, lightweight with a little covering a lot of skin. It smells a little like limes and feels like it 'coats' the skin in goodness as you're sleeping. And whereas some Retinol products I've tried can feel a bit 'burny' on the skin; this one doesn't.
Pro Co's 7% Retinol Serum boasts a unique active formulation of highly concentrated Retinol; which delivers goodness deep into the skin. This serum's anti-ageing formula works to banish wrinkles, lower levels irritation and enhance the product's ability to penetrate the skin. It's scientifically proven to have a much lower irritation potential and far greater stability over time; compared to pure Retinol in beauty products. Which I can totally vouch for, hence my burny experiences with other brands in the past.
Pro Co Eye Rescue Serum*
Last up, this fab Eye Rescue Serum helps to fade dark under-eye circles and rejuvenate this delicate area. This product has been formulated using advanced encapsulated natural ingredients; designed to help fade existing pigmentation & improve skin micro-circulation.
I haven't seen huge differences using this yet, but I hope to - it certainly has all the scientific know-how to banish my under eye baggage!
I've really enjoyed trying Pro Co products & massively applaud their sustainable, vegan-friendly vibes - will you be giving them a go?
