Wondering if there’s any weight behind all of those gold-infused skincare products out there? While there’s no denying that gold has quite a few skin-loving properties, I have always erred on the side of skepticism, partly because I tried a couple of gold-infused products several years ago and wasn’t impressed.

However, looking back, those products were from unknown brands and didn’t contain many other substantial ingredients. The gold was likely more of a gimmick rather than a significant part of those products. Still, I didn’t think that I would be persuaded into using gold-infused skincare again…until I came across Orogold. This skincare brand has been around for over a decade and has earned a loyal following in that time. Their ethos is to combine 24K gold with other potent and proven ingredients in a way that enhances the efficacy of the entire formula. 

Needless to say, I was intrigued, so much so that I decided to splurge on the Golden Glow Collection – the latest Orogold collection to hit the shelves. Here’s what I thought after testing these three products out: 

The 24K Skin Balancing Mask Stick

Skin Balancing Mask Stick

When it comes to innovative skincare products, the 24K Skin Balancing Mask Stick really takes the cake! This is the first time I’ve used a face mask in stick form, likely because there aren’t many other products like this out there. The convenience of a mask stick is the biggest highlight – it makes masking quick, easy, and mess-free.

What Does it Do for the Skin?

When it comes to its benefits, this mask is a pretty multi-functional product. Immediately after using it, my skin feels much softer and smoother. It has a bouncier finish to it too, which I absolutely love! 

Now that I’ve been using it for a couple of months, I’ve noticed that my fine lines don’t look quite so visible. This mask has definitely played a part in that because, thanks to its stick format, I’ve been giving those creased areas extra attention with this product. 

Key Ingredients

Take a look at this product’s ingredient list, and you’ll immediately understand why it has had such a profound effect on my complexion. It’s packed with science-backed compounds that are known for reducing the look of aging, such as bakuchiol. It also, of course, contains gold, which is combined with a number of richly moisturizing plant oils. 

The 24K Golden Multi-Corrective Solution

The 24K Golden Multi-Corrective Solution is another Orogold product that brings innovation to the forefront. Once again, this one is all about tackling the appearance of aging. Its unique applicator makes it easy to use and also gives you the opportunity to really hone in on your problem areas, as opposed to wasting the product on the areas of your face that don’t really need it.

What Does it Do for the Skin?

The beauty of this product lies in its fast-acting nature. It’s a great quick fix when you need to instantly mask the appearance of your fine lines and wrinkles, with this formula producing visible results in just a couple of minutes. While it doesn’t completely erase my wrinkles, it makes them appear much softer. They look ‘barely there’ rather than a prominent feature on my face. 

Key Ingredients

There are a number of key ingredients in this formula that give it its supercharged nature. Peptides, DMAE, sodium hyaluronate, squalane, and alpha-hydroxy acids are just a few on the list. Gold is present too, with this ingredient known for quickly adding radiance. All in all, once again, these ingredients are exactly what you want to be applying to your skin if you’ve been noticing the visible signs of aging creeping up.

The 24K Golden Dew Serum-in-Cream

Golden Dew Serum In Cream

Last but not least, the 24K Golden Dew Serum-in-Cream. This is the only product from this collection that I use daily – the other two aren’t designed to be used as frequently. It has fit into my morning routine perfectly, allowing me to slightly simplify and speed up my busy mornings without causing my skin to miss out on anything. It does the job of both the antioxidant serum and the moisturizer that I was previously using, making it a very well thought-out two-in-one product.

What Does it Do for the Skin?

This product does a great job of giving my skin an instant glow. It hydrates and illuminates while also providing plenty of moisture. It always leaves my skin looking plumper and brighter, making it one of my all-time favorite products.

A few months in, and I believe that this formula has played a big role in the reduced appearance of my fine lines too. Take a look at its ingredient list and you’ll quickly see why I think this…

Key Ingredients

This product is packed with some of the best antioxidants around. Niacinamide, vitamin C, and vitamin E are all must-haves, while the botanical oils in this formula, including grape seed, avocado, and sweet almond, are all known for being great sources of antioxidants too. It’s packed with hydrating ingredients as well, including squalane and sodium hyaluronate. Plus, like every Orogold product, it also contains 24K gold.

Final Verdict

As you can see, I was totally blown away by how well these skincare products worked, along with the impressive ingredients list that each one came with. With this in mind, it’s difficult to determine how much of an impact the gold in each formula actually had. However, whether due to the gold, the other show-stopping ingredients, or a combination of both, the improvements that I’ve seen in my complexion after using these products have been enough to make me a big Orogold fan.
