Let me be blunt: I rarely invest in new skincare. I’ve had the same routine since I was in my teens. But now that I’m older, my skin is in dire need of a refresh. When I learned that Delavie Sciences’ products are made with Bacillus Lysate, an antioxidant derived from a microorganism that's (wait for it) researched on the exterior of the International Space Station, I gave into my curiosity. I set out to test the brand's Aeonia collection for three weeks to see if they actually improved my skin’s tightness, elasticity, and fine lines. Spoiler alert: They did.
Why I love the Aeonia Age Defying Serum…
Brightening effects. I applied this serum right after washing my face every day, twice a day, for about three weeks. I noticed a slight glow immediately after applying every. single. time. I also noticed that it greatly improved the look of dark spots and dullness just like it claimed. Point Delavie Sciences.
Lightweight feel. The other thing I noticed almost immediately was how lightweight the serum is. I could barely feel it on my face after rubbing it in. Plus, in a surprising turn of events, I realized it also helped my makeup stay on a little longer throughout the day.
Scent. Normally I get nervous when skincare has too much perfume or scented ingredients in it for fear of irritating my skin. But this serum smelled amazing without causing any burning or breakouts.
Easy application. One of my favorite things about this serum is the dropper that comes with it. It releases just the right amount of serum you need to cover your entire face without having excess left over.
Why I love the Aeonia Sculpting Cream…
Softening effects. While I noticed how soft my skin was after just one day, I noticed a huge difference after three weeks. This stuff works. With consistent use, my skin was smoother and way more hydrated than it has ever been.
Thick consistency. With this cream, a little goes a long way. You really don’t need too much of it to enjoy its benefits. It has a heavier consistency, which made it a little harder to wear under my makeup. However, it does mean that it’ll last longer. Bonus points for the little scooper tool that’s included, which gives you the perfect amount of product every time.

The quickest way to revitalize your under eyes…
Get that “I just slept a full eight hours of sleep” glow with this eye cream. It’s specifically formulated to amp up the moisture in your skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and unwanted fine lines. It goes on like butter and starts working immediately. This will be my winter-weather staple, I can already tell. ($75)
A gentler version of their Age Defying Serum…
This version was created with sensitive skin in mind. It doesn’t contain any potentially irritating or redness-inducing ingredients but still works to restore moisture, in addition to boosting elasticity and firmness. Use it before applying makeup or after a long day for a little skin TLC. ($125)
