I am impressed! I have been using the Phyto-Retinol CBD Night serum for about 12 week now & I love it - The overnight treatment is a little miracle! My skin felt softer after only a few uses & now feels brighter & more radiant. You need such a small amount that one bottle lasts a long time too. This is now a permanent part of my evening routine & I am keen to try more of the range.

I’ve been using the wonderful Ascend Phyto-retinol CBD night serum product now for a few months. I wanted to give it time before reviewing so I could be as honest as possible. I just LOVE it and would highly recommend it. I wake up feeling that my face has not dried up overnight. I’ve noticed a huge difference and people have commented on how young my skin has been looking. (I’m 51). I will certainly purchase again and have recommended to all my friends. Well done Ascend on such a great product with great packaging too! Will make a fabulous gift.

My wife tried the Ascend Phyto-Retinol CBD Night Serum and now is hooked. She can suffer from sensitive skin, however, she said the serum was not drying or harsh, had a pleasant smell and her skin appears fresher and smooth. Fantastic stuff.

I've been using Ascend Skincare's 'Caffeine Serum' for the last 3 weeks. I have very dry, sensitive skin. The serum arrived beautifully packaged with a good quality container. The serum feels amazing on my skin, it both soothes and relieves the tightness of dry & tired skin. Within just a few days of using the product there was a noticeable difference in my skin, it looks brighter and by week 3 it was glowing! I highly recommend Ascend Skincare.

I have been using the phtyo-retinol night serum and i must say... it's been fab! It's packaged well, feels premium and very smooth going on the skin. With a nice smell and smooth finish it's a great product to add in to your night time routine. I have noticed my skin looking a bit brighter and feeling softer over the last few weeks and this is the only thing i had changed into my routine. Would certainly recommend trying this product if you are looking to try something new for your skin!

This was my first time using any CBD products and so I really appreciated the transparency of the ingredients and their purpose on the serum box. Using the serum itself is like applying liquid silk. A little goes a long way to making my skin feel incredibly smooth. Love it.

Absolutely lovelovelove this range! i wanted to try a more natural anti ageing product and quality CBD is my go-to wellness product of choice. I purchased Ascend's morning, refresh and night serums and used them solely and religiously on my face for a month, with no other products. I was a little hesitant in all honesty, as i tend to have oily skin and therefore don't use oils, however in the interest of research i went in, fully committed. The oils absorb really well and have gentle, natural fragrances. My skin initially became quite dry however i persisted as i wanted to see if the products really worked. After the month I started to add my usual moisturiser and lo and behold, two months down the line and i can categorically say that fine lines and hyper-pigmentation have all but disappeared. Friends have commented on my skin too, which is a bonus. I seriously cannot recommend Ascend enough and wish i'd found them sooner! I'm also still using 5 small drops for my face/ neck and the products go a long way and therefore last a decent amount of time. They came in a beautiful package and the branding and bottles are well designed and recyclable. Worth every penny! <3

I was given the trio of Ascend facial oils as a present in October 2020 so I’ve had a few months of using the different oils. My skin is dry to very dry and so normally I use a natural oil (rosehip) with my facial moisturiser especially in the winter. I mostly use natural skin care products that are plant oil based so I was very excited to receive these. Given my skin type, my preference is for the Caffeine and CBD brightening oil in the winter. I love the rich coffee scent, which is balanced by the sweeter oils. It feels really luxurious on my skin which feels soft and well moisturised. The Rebalancing CBD oil, I mainly use in the morning, more so as the weather is improving. It’s quite light on my skin and does not feel heavy and oily and quite quickly absorbed. It's not overly scented like some of the commercial skin oils – in fact it smells quite fresh and grassy (not sure if that’s a good thing for a review- but I like it) The Night concentrate is really rich. It’s a deep golden, almost amber colour and quite sweet smelling. As a night treatment I use this maybe a couple of times a week and find that my skin looks and feels good in the morning. Can’t say how they work under makeup as I don’t really wear any or if I do, because of my skin type it does not cause excessive shine or is greasy looking. I have learnt that less is more with these oils and when I first used them I tended to be a bit over generous with how much I put on my face. A little goes a long way. My verdict? Good for older skin that is dry to very dry. Skin feels softer and more supple. Comparable to a number of big brand/commercial facial oils with the added bonus of being a natural alternative to chemical based serums.

WHAT IS CBD?

CBD is the shorthand name for cannabidiol, a chemical compound found in nature that is abundant in certain strains of Cannabis Sativa. Hemp-derived CBD, like the extracts we use at Ascend Skincare, is 100% natural.

As a supplement, it is taken to help optimise the body’s innate inflammatory response, which is extremely beneficial when translated in skincare for people who suffer from dry, itchy, heavily blemished and overall unhappy skin.

It is legal, well-regulated, and won’t get you high.

The Importance of Antioxidants in Skincare

We often see in the skincare industry a crossover between dietary advice and popular skincare ingredients. We see this for example with Vitamin C, which we know to take as a supplement to help fight off illness, and also in skincare as a potent antioxidant and brightening agent.
