1611 Labs is a new skincare brand founded by cosmetic scientist Amina Ajayi. The brand believes in high-performance skincare treatments and create effective, powerful products using science-backed active ingredients.
I was sent a few of their products to try, and I’m really impressed. The ingredients within the products are wonderful and they’re extremely pleasing to use.
🧪 1611 Labs Formula 7 | v.7 360 Barrier Repair Treatment Serum
What is it?
This has been a life-saver as we transition into the colder months. It’s soothing, hydrating, moisturising and repairing. As skin-barrier repair serum, it works tremendously well. I had a bit of sensitivity after using a product, and this really helped calm and soothe the irritation I was experiencing. It has everything you could want in a barrier-repair serum, such as Ceramides, Omegas and Centella Asiatica just to name a few ingredients. Since the irritation has calmed, I’ve been using this alongside my retinoids to prevent irritation re-occurring.
Targets
Barrier Repair, Dehydration, Dryness, Redness
Who is it for?
Anyone can use this because we all need a good strong, healthy barrier so our skin behaves and looks its best. It’ll be particularly good if your skin is sensitive, prone to redness or your barrier is compromised from using too many active ingredients.
How to use
You can use this day and night in the serum stage of your routine. It’s a good idea to use this alongside your retinoids as it will help prevent irritation.
Price
£70.00 for 30ml
🧪 1611 Labs Formula 10 | v.5 Prebiotic Urban Defence Treatment
What is it?
This is a little bit of a multitasker, which I love when it comes to a skincare serum. This is designed to support and protect the skins microbiome, improve radiance, elasticity and firmness, regulate sebum production, gently exfoliate, provide antioxidant protection AND strengthen the skin barrier. As you can see, it does a lot! I find this provides lasting hydration on the skin and I’ve found it really good for improving radiance. It’s also been really good for clearing pesky little spots that appear. It’s one of those serums that anyone and everyone could use.
Targets
Dehydration, Dryness, Barrier Repair
Who is it for?
Everyone! All skins need hydration and a strong barrier, so crack on.
How to Use
Day & night. You simply use it in the serum stage of your routine.
Price
£65.00 for 30ml
