Now in its 7th year, the CertClean Clean Beauty Awards celebrates the best performing products — products made without harmful ingredients. Hosted by CertClean and supported by an eminent panel of judges (like me), the Awards is a global movement to recognize the clean beauty products that deliver results.

This year I review products in perfume, face serums, lip care and eye color categories, and I will all review them separately.

Here come the entries for CertClean Beauty Awards in the FACE SERUM Category:

DrLOUIE Dark Spot Serum $114.99

A very gentle serum, no sticky, and even though it has a brownish orange color to it, it doesn’t leave a trace behind. I didn’t felt any tingling or any sensitivity so I can continue using it daily to help reduce and prevent future age spots.

Comes in a glass bottle with a dropper.

NUEZ ACRES Pecan Repair Serum $27.99

What an amazing anti-aging serum! Even though is an oil, this is acting like a dry oil so it gets instantly absorbed into the skin without leaving a trace. I must say I’m impressed!
