QV Face’s Hydrate + Renew Serum offers a clinically tested 3-in-1 serum that has been formulated specifically to treat and improve skin, even sensitive types. The fragrance-free, multi-purpose formula works to hydrate and calm the skin while also delivering anti-ageing benefits.
At the affordable price point of $20.99, members were not expecting to pick up the bottle and feel the weight of such high quality packaging. The lightweight formula also surpassed their expectations thanks to its absorbent and easy-to-spread consistency, requiring just two small pumps for complete coverage.
Regardless of their familiarity and success with other QV products, those with sensitive skin were still uncertain that this formula would not cause irritation. However, members happily reported that the niacinamide, glycerin, and panthenol-rich serum did not cause any irritation to the skin. In fact, it left their complexions in a far better condition than it found them.
While it’s not the first serum to claim hydrating and anti-ageing benefits, QV’s formulation did earn itself props for doing something that others weren’t: keeping things simple. Safe for use both morning and night, this serum agreed with all skin types, played along with other ingredients and of course is both accessible and affordable. Over the short term, members reported an improvement in the plumpness and glow of their skin, while the longer term benefits ranged from improved elasticity to enhanced brightness.
For this reason, members were unable to find many (if any) reasons that they wouldn’t continue using this serum daily at the conclusion of the trial. Quickly replacing not just one but up to three different serums in their routine, their regimens were streamlined and condensed while the results in their skin were amplified. Overall? 50 very happy, healthy and hydrated faces were left to show for it.

You say:
“My complexion is now brighter and more awake and my skin feels so smooth and soft! I didn’t notice a huge difference in the fine lines around my eyes, so I was a bit disappointed there.” – Orchid27
“I have been so happy to trial this product. I’ve got dry, sensitive skin and often find products give me a million little bumps up to burning my skin. With winter I have been very dry, and so wasn’t really giving this much hope. However amazingly this has been so hydrating, without causing any skin irritation. I love putting this on morning and night and my skin feeling invigorated, it soothes the dryness and I recommend it.” – Niqueyp
“I have been using the serum for the past 3 weeks and I can see improvements in my skin. So far I have noticed that my skin is more hydrated and smooth and wrinkles are less visible. I will continue using the serum.” – Preppa
“The packaging is lovely and the pump is much more appealing then a dropper. One pump is the perfect amount to cover my face and my neck generously. The serum is light and readily absorbs into my skin. My skin was left feeling plump, hydrated and over time has reduced the appearance of wrinkles, particularly around my eyes.” – Nbird16

QV have some lovely products and price point is always reasonable
I was lucky enough to be on this trial, I love how hydrating it is.
I was in the trial and QV make great products
Congrats chrystalage!!
Lucky you. I also think QV make good products and well priced too.
Seems like it’s good at hydrating but that’s it.
That is important though.
How do you get picked for a trial?
Make sure your profile is filled out & do a few reviews, Loren. Then, wait for an invitation email.
I just read the full product blurb & it’s got Vitamin E, which is always a zit trigger for my skin. My skin isn’t sensitive but very zit-prone.
I need to try products from the QV line
I was lucky enough to be on this trial – I really like it, it’s so hydrating and my skin feels so supple.
I’ve got lots of serums open at the moment. I must use them up.
ha Ha – I know the feeling – I have just cleared out all my old stuff and some had even gone off -yukky !!
I haven’t really tried much from QV so would be keen to give their skincare a go!
Do not like the ingredients. 25g face serum only, hm
I love so many QV products. This is one I would definitely try.
I am yet to try QV products but this item might be one to look out for because it contains 2 types of vitamin B (niacinamide and panthenol) and is affordable.
QV products are always in the reasonable price range and I have always found they make really nice products
That is so true, they are always affordable.
This brand makes some great products!!
I agree. Like QV
I didn’t think much of the design of the packaging but the serum formulation was great!
This is a great everyday serum.Love the experience while using this.
Pretty high rate for noticing improvement.
Sounds like a lovely serum
I love a good serum.
This hydration serum sounds great!
Looks like a nice serum to try.
Looks like a good Serum and it isn’t too expensive to buy would be worth trying out so glad that it is for sensitive skin and has some great ingredients niacinamide, glycerin, and panthenol.
Yes good reviews and worth a try??
Some good reviews, think I’ll look into trying this
The QV Serum is one I will keep in mind when next I need a new serum.
Great to see glycerin and niacinamide fairly high up on the ingredients list, and the price point is reasonable. I’ll still tend to choose CeraVe over QV though because of the ceramides (I’ve tried QV’s ceramide range but it’s more expensive and I can’t deal with the fragrance!).
Good to know Eriberry.
lovely to add a hydration serum to our skincare regime
A very good serum
Not a brand I’ve ever tried.
This certainly sounds like something I should try at some point.
Amazing reviews!
Sounds great and like how affordable it is.
Delighted to have been selected for this, my first trial in almost a year. Very affordable and lovely serum.
I really enjoyed trialling this product, I’m running out of it now and will definitely be buying some more.
Congratulations to those who were chosen on this trial. Love that it is reasonably priced and hydrating.
Definitely going to check out this serum!
would be great for when skin is sore and sensitize/
Great reviews and an affordable price, I must try this serum.
I have tried many QV products and have mostly been satisfied with them. I appreciate it that the price range is quite Ok.
Great to hear!
I would have loved to be on this trial. QV is a brand I trust and love most of their products. Thanks for the reviews trial team.
Some good results! I’ve seen this product everywhere. it’s nice to read results, and learn more about the product
It was great to be selected for this trial after not having had a trial for a long time. Very affordable product.
Good to see a few long-term/regular contributors on this trial. Definitely trust their reviews and might give this a try when I run out of the other *too many to count* serums I had to test and have been accumulating.
I never used to use serum at all but now do and this QV Face Hydrate and Renew Serum Trial Team looks great with good reviews.
I love QY products –
The review scores are a bit uneven :S
