Slowing down the aging process and maintaining the firmness and elasticity of facial skin is the cherished desire of many modern people. In the vastness of the beauty market there is an incredible amount of ‘elixirs of youth’ for eliminating wrinkles. When making a choice, it is always better to trust proven professionals.
The Ordinary EUK 134 0.1% is a serum with Manganese Chloride, the formula of which was developed by specialists from the Canadian brand The Ordinary. It is based on one of the strongest and most effective antioxidants such as EUK 134. The principle of action of the product: Manganese Chloride creates a self-healing molecule that combats free radicals and provides round-the-clock antioxidant action, and also has absorbent properties, which ensures effective cleansing of the skin due to the combination of all oxides with manganese molecules. The serum can be used as a stand-alone skincare product, or mixed with other cosmetic products to increase their effectiveness.

My rating is absolutely terrible. This serum caused Quincke's edema. Fortunately, the emergency doctors arrived quickly and acted efficiently. Overall, I do not recommend it.
I mix this serum with a balancing blend of oils and microalgae 1:1 every other night. My skin is combination, with open pores in the T-zone, lots of freckles, and pigmentation spots. The serum helps even out my skin tone and reduces oiliness during the day, which is definitely a plus. Although my pores haven't become smaller, they are less noticeable due to the evened out complexion.
I am 27 years old and have dry skin.
This serum is a real find, I debated for a long time whether to buy it or not, and I made the right choice.
The texture of the serum is oily.
I apply it in the morning and then follow with my day cream.
After a week, my face started to glow with natural light, it became sufficiently moisturized and had an even tone.
For those who suffer from dry skin and have light flakiness, I highly recommend this product.
The serum is easy to apply and spreads quickly, leaving a characteristic greasy feeling without any residual stickiness. I bought it to use under my morning cream, as the serum has an additional sun protection property. However, I found it too heavy for my morning routine, even though I really wanted it to work. It left me with a feeling that there is something on my skin, which is especially uncomfortable in the summer.
In the end, I incorporated it into my nighttime skincare routine. I mix 2 drops of EUK+ with 2-3 drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (which I can't imagine my skincare routine without). I apply it to my face, wait a few seconds for it to absorb, and then seal it with a night cream.
I haven't been using it for long, so expecting instant effects from the antioxidant would be foolish. However, overall, my skin looks better, with a more even tone and a fresher appearance. Dry patches have disappeared and the color of my face has become more even. I will try using it in my morning routine during winter.
