Although historically considered an exclusive luxury for the royals, gold-infused skincare has been a popular concept in the mainstream skincare industry for a while now, and although some people swear by it, others don’t rate it at all. Me? I was undecided. It’s certainly an intriguing concept, and there are several studies out there that point to the various ways in which gold can benefit the complexion. However, since I hadn’t personally tried any gold-infused skincare products, I couldn’t judge.
That led to my discovery of Orogold – a brand that believes in the power of 24K gold so much that it can be found in every single one of its products. Although I was tempted by a few of the brand’s collections, the Orogold Golden Glow Collection ended up being my first choice. Why? Because each product looked impressively innovative, and also sounded like they were exactly what my skin needed!
So, what’s the verdict – is gold-infused skincare worth the hype? Here’s what my foray into Orogold’s gold-infused skincare products taught me:
The 24K Golden Dew Serum-in-Cream: Luxury Meets Convenience
If you’ve ever dived into the skin benefits of gold, you’ll know that it has a few things to offer. Not only can it help to leave the skin feeling more hydrated, but it also provides a radiant glow to match. The 24K Golden Dew Serum-in-Cream encompasses this, while also conveniently serving as a multipurpose solution that allows me to combine two steps of my skincare routine into one.
How Does it Work?
Although this product may look more cream than serum when you open the jar, it’s very befitting of a serum in the way that it quickly sinks into the skin. In addition to gold, it contains several go-to ingredients that everybody should be using in a serum, from vitamin C and niacinamide to sodium hyaluronate and peptides.
The reason why a cream is usually needed alongside a serum is that a cream will contain the heavier ingredients needed to form a moisture-locking seal over the skin’s surface. Thanks to a blend of occlusives that do just that, including sweet almond oil and avocado oil, it forms a seal over the surface of the skin. This slows moisture loss down in the way that a moisturizer does. Granted, it may not be rich enough for people with very dry skin. However, it worked magic on my combination skin. It keeps my skin looking dewy and soft throughout the day. My complexion always seems more radiant after I use this product.
The 24K Golden Multi-Corrective Solution: The Look of Youth…Instantly
Gold has always been revered for its ability to make the skin look younger. It’s one of the reasons why Cleopatra loved using gold-infused skincare! The Orogold 24K Golden Multi-Corrective Solution does exactly that. The best part? It produces visible results almost instantly.
How Does it Work?
This product works by giving the skin a plumper and tighter finish. This makes fine lines and wrinkles look less noticeable. Although the effects are temporary (they last me until I cleanse my face), they’re undeniably impressive. The fact that it makes my skin look this much smoother in just a few seconds is the icing on the cake.
How does it actually do that? Take a look at its ingredient list, and you’ll spot several names there that are known for their fast-acting effects. Sodium hyaluronate, alpha-hydroxy acids, acetyl hexapeptide-8 – they’re all high-performance ingredients that, when combined, really push boundaries. There are a few ingredients in this solution that provide long-term benefits, too. From vitamins A and E to squalane to, of course, gold, it’s a product that’s worth having around if the appearance of aging has started to creep up.
The 24K Skin Balancing Mask Stick: Innovative Yet Natural
Innovation is rife in the skincare world, but a rub-on face mask was news to me. The 24K Skin Balancing Mask Stick from Orogold takes the mess and the hassle out of masking.
How Does it Work?
This product couldn’t be any easier to use. Simply glide the stick over your face, focusing on the areas that are showing signs of aging. Then, remove the mask with a warm washcloth 15 minutes later.
Like the other two products in the Golden Glow Collection, this one also made my fine lines look less noticeable. It gives my skin a much smoother and more even finish, to the point where I now use it a couple of times a week.
While some masks can’t be used this often, this one primarily consists of natural plant oils. You’ll spot some of the usuals in here, such as jojoba and coconut. They’re joined by several lesser-known oils, like black raspberry seed and meadowfoam seed. Bakuchiol makes an appearance in this mask, too. Often compared to retinol, it’s an ingredient that quickly tackles the visible signs of skin aging.
The Orogold Golden Glow Collection: Final Verdict
It’s a little difficult to say how much of an impact the inclusion of gold has had on these Orogold products. After all, they contain so many other show-stopping, science-backed ingredients too! With that said, these products have made enough of a difference to my complexion that they won’t be the end of my adventure into the world of gold-infused skincare. In fact, I’ve already treated myself to a couple of other Orogold products, which I’m sure I’ll be telling you about soon!
