GUERLAINAbeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum, 0.5 oz.

In Love With This Product

I only found out about this product because I bought one of Macy’s advent calendars and this was one of the products in it, a small sample. Immediately, I knew it was different from everything else I’ve tried. The plumping effect that the serum gives you is unbelievable. I will never be without this product again.

So soft

I love this! I got it as a sample at Christmas snd had to buy the full size bottle when it ran out. It makes my skin do soft had diminishes fine lines. The added benefit is how it has improved my nails since I rub my hands together when I have finished applying it.

Not for me…

Since I received BEE LAB SHOTᵀᴹ and YOUTH WATERY OIL SERUM as a duo, it feels only fair to review them together. First of all, this is a very unique concept — I’ve honestly never seen anything like it before. The packaging and overall design feel extremely luxurious, which immediately caught my attention. After reading several positive reviews, I was genuinely excited to try them for myself. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to my expectations. Although the products are marketed as suitable for sensitive skin, my skin did not react well. I believe this is likely due to the presence of both alcohol and fragrance. I noticed that many people mentioned a tightening effect on the skin, and I definitely experienced that — but not in a good way. Instead of feeling firm and refreshed, my skin felt tight in a way that suggested dehydration. I gave the duo several tries, hoping my skin would adjust, but the result was the same each time. Sadly, it seems this product is just not for me, which is quite disappointing given how promising and innovative it initially appeared.

Super luxurious feeling

A super luxurious feel on the skin and it makes you want to really massage it into your face. It feels super soft and is great for winter and dry skin! Doesn’t feel heavy at all and saturated really nicely making you less puffy in the morning too.

I originally had a sample of this with another order. It was so good that I bought a full bottle, to permanently add it to my skincare regime. My skin is noticeably softer and more moisturised, with a healthy glow that means I don't need to add make-up in the summer.

A beautifully formulated serum that delivers its p

I’ve been using the Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum for around two months, and it’s become a staple in my routine. The texture is slightly oily but very lightweight, it spreads easily, sinks into the skin quickly, and leaves no lingering stickiness. It layers beautifully under moisturiser and sits well with the rest of my skincare. Despite having sensitive, acne-prone skin, I experienced no irritation or major breakouts, which is always a concern with fragranced or oil-based formulas. Instead, my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and less fatigued, particularly on dull or tired days. With consistent use, my complexion looks fresher and brighter, with improved plumpness and reduced discolouration. While it’s not a dramatic overnight transformation, the cumulative effect after two months is very noticeable in terms of overall skin health and radiance. The packaging feels luxurious and high-end, though the gold finish does read slightly plastic, but that’s honestly so secondary. That said, the sensorial experience and results justify the premium feel of the product.
