Introduction

As we age, fine lines and wrinkles create deeper grooves in our facial skin. The daily moisturizer that has been working well in our 20s and 30s doesn’t have the same influence anymore. This is when most people add a day serum into their beauty regimen. A fine layer of a potent serum will boost the production of key proteins, such as collagen, in order to treat and rejuvenate aging skin. More than simply locking in hydration, a day serum must be composed of active ingredients which are proven to rebuild skin cells.

We were excited to review June Jacobs Age Defying Copper Serum because their patented tag of ‘cutting-edge science married with nature’ implies everything we are looking for in a day serum. It is true that this product is made with all-natural ingredients as it is essential not to include parabens, preservatives or anything that can compromise facial skin. However, we were left puzzled as to where the ‘cutting-edge science’ came in. There is one mention of ‘patented antioxidant blend of white, red and green tea extracts‘ but no actual patented ingredient was listed. Usually patented ingredients will be linked to scientific research, but there is nothing available on the June Jacobs website about this.

Learn more about this day serum in our in-depth review below to find out why it made it into our #3 spot on this list.

Ingredients

As mentioned above, this day serum does not contain any potential harmful ingredients such as parabens or preservatives. Using natural ingredients is laudable and what we expect from day serums which are based on the latest in biotechnology.

The key ingredients, listed here, look good but there are no patented ingredients which are included. We found one reference to a patented antioxidant blend in a different location in the June Jacobs website, but after digging around we did not see anything else about this.

Additionally, while we expect to see ingredients which promote the production of collagen and elastin, we don’t actually want to see actual collagen and elastin included in the formula. This is because both of these proteins are too large to cross over the skin’s barrier. It is unclear why these 2 compounds are included here.

Furthermore, there are 50 other ingredients found in this day serum, but no mention as to what the percentage is as compared with the key ingredients. Thus, it’s hard to truly judge the potency of each drop of serum.

Key ingredients:

  • Copper, Zinc, Magnesium - Help promote collagen and elastin production.
  • 5% Peelmoist - Helps smooth skin, improve moisturization and preserve the natural barrier function of the epidermis.
  • Collagen - Helps aid cell regeneration by promoting firming and lifting benefits.
  • Elastin - Helps the skin maintain its natural elasticity by aiding in the binding of moisture.
  • Hydrolyzed Soy - Helps to stimulate production of the skin's structural components to increase firmness and elasticity.
  • Hyaluronic Acid – Acts as a humectant to minimize water loss from skin.

How To Use

Apply, after cleansing, with a gentle tapping motion. Then massage into the face, neck and décolleté. This should be a first layer underneath your moisturizer and sunscreen.

Price

This costs a whopping $94 for a standard 30 ml/ 1 fluid ounce bottle. At close to $100, this is more expensive than our top 2 choices for day serum.

Guarantee

At first glance, there is no indication that the June Jacobs brand accepts returns or offers a guarantee on its products. Upon digging around the website, we found in small print, at the bottom of the website, something which said ‘shipping policy’. It was under here, also listed in very small, light print, that June Jacobs will, in fact, issue a full refund to your credit card if you are unhappy with your purchase.

It is important to note that you must be within 30 days of original order date and you must include a copy of your receipt and reason for the return. Additionally, the policy stresses that consumers must speak to a representative before sending back products.

Conclusion

We are really on the fence about June Jacobs Age Defying Copper Serum. On the one hand, it utilizes only natural ingredients in its formula. There is nothing that could potentially irritate skin or cause harm, such as parabens or preservatives.

The part of the formula that is questionable is if there is really a patented ingredient or not. We look for patented ingredients because they are based on scientific proof that an ingredient actually works. Because day serums are so thin, the ingredients impact greatly on the efficacy of a formula.

The key ingredients seem powerful but we were also curious as to why collagen and elastin were included as it is known that they are too large to cross the skin’s barrier and therefore cannot aid in skin renewal. One more question we had was how much of this day serum’s formula is composed of key ingredients and how much is composed of other ingredients - who knows?.

Since the price is rather expensive at close to $100 per bottle, we were extremely interested to take note of the guarantee associated with this product. What we didn’t like was how difficult it was to first find the guarantee and also how many stipulations come with the return policy. We would like to hear from customers who were successful at returning any products from June Jacobs before vouching for it.
