Darlings, I want to keep spreading the magical energy of makeup and skincare throughout the world. When developing my NEW! Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, I wanted to create a QUICK and EASY, targeted serum to improve skin’s outward appearance, making it more glowing, hydrated and youthful-looking, whilst also enhancing the look of skin texture for smooth makeup application. I have infused my latest formulation with ground-breaking, clinically proven ingredients developed in the world’s leading skincare laboratories to give everyone, everywhere REAL SCIENCE TO UNLOCK YOUR CONFIDENCE.”

"Charlotte’s MAGIC SERUM contains a newly-developed form of Vitamin C which binds the ingredient to micro-particles of gold. The vitamin is stabilised and the supplier has shown that it absorbs into the skin with 100% efficiency and zero-waste, vs traditional vitamin C at 30% efficiency. Also supplemented with glutathione, an antioxidant which prevents the Vitamin C from degrading, the ingredient is preserved & potent in the formula whether it is on your skin or in the bottle."

“MAGIC SERUM contains Polyglutamic Acid which acts like a pure water drip being constantly fed into the skin. After using MAGIC SERUM my clients will touch their skin after 5-6 hours and still find it feeling plump, hydrated and soft to the touch. I personally have been amazed to find my skin still feels hydrated and dewy in the morning after using Magic Serum at night!”

GEORGIA LOUISE VASSANELLI’s EXPERT SKINCARE MASSAGE TECHNIQUE

“I have designed this bespoke massage technique for Charlotte’s MAGIC SERUM CRYSTAL ELIXIR to allow you to benefit from the effects of a rejuvenating facial massage at home. We hold on to a lot of tension in the 45 muscles of our face, and so to really target and release that tension, as well as sculpt the facial contours and soften the look of lines and wrinkles, facial massage is essential. “ -

  1. Swatch of a light, luminous, ivory-coloured serum.

    MAGIC STEP 1

    "To begin your massage with MAGIC SERUM, take 4-6 drops of the product. Your skin will take what it needs, so be generous with it. Start by warming the formula in your hands."

  2. An open luminous, ivory-coloured serum in an opened glass bottle with its dropper beside it.

    MAGIC STEP 2

    "PRESS the formula into the skin working in outward motions from the centre of the face. You will see how it seamlessly absorbs, allowing the active ingredients to absorb into the skin.The technique of PRESS AND RELEASE massage into the skin is known to help to boost lymphatic drainage and in turn help to eliminate toxins."

  3. Swatch of a light, luminous, ivory-coloured serum.

    MAGIC STEP 3

    "Then, use the SHIMMERING WAVES motion to warm up the muscles of the face to help absorb the MAGIC SERUM formula into the skin. This step is inspired by the effleurage motion in traditional Swedish massage – use your fingers to create stimulating ‘waves’ across the skin, always working outwards and upwards."

  4. A luminous, ivory-coloured serum in a glass bottle with a gold and white-coloured dropper lid.

    MAGIC STEP 4

    "Finish with CRYSTAL RAINDROPS inspired by the tapotement technique or “tapping” in traditional Chinese medicine. Use fluttering fingers to tap the skin’s surface all over the face – this technique is known to boost microcirculation, creating a radiant, healthy-looking glow.

    Now your massage is complete! Your skin should be left with an aura of crystalline radiance and you will instantly be able to see the multi-dimension effect of Charlotte’s MAGIC SERUM on your skin.”

THE BENEFITS OF CHARLOTTE’S MAGIC SERUM CRYSTAL ELIXIR AS EXPLAINED BY DR ANJALI MAHTO

REDUCTION IN THE APPEARANCE OF PORES

“The #1 question I receive from my clients is… ‘How do I shrink my pores?’ Normally you need to use laser treatment or micro-needling to address this concern, but for a less invasive approach I can now recommend Charlotte’s Magic Serum which contains a 5% concentration of Niacinamide which works hard to help minimise the appearance of your pores, and I have seen the amazing results myself.”

HYDRATION OF THE SKIN

“From a skincare standpoint, it is essential to have a product which hydrates over time. MAGIC SERUM contains Polyglutamic Acid which acts like pure water being constantly fed into the skin. After using MAGIC SERUM my clients will touch their skin after 5-6 hours and still find it feeling plump, hydrated and soft to the touch. I personally have been amazed to find my skin still feels hydrated and dewy when I wake up in the morning after using Magic Serum at night.”

BRIGHTER, EVEN-LOOKING SKIN WITH THE REDUCTION OF THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES

“Vitamin C is an essential powerhouse ingredient for many reasons – it can help to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines and boosts brightness; however a lot of Vitamin C is destabilised and therefore not effective on the skin by the time you use it. Some of my clients bring me Vitamin C solutions to use which have turned orange because the vitamin has destabilised from exposure to light or oxygen, or simply because it has not been used quickly enough, and so I cannot use it. Charlotte’s MAGIC SERUM contains a next-generation Vitamin C ingredient that uses microparticles of gold to stabilise the ingredient and help deliver its powerful benefits for brighter, even-looking skin, and it doesn’t destabilise in the bottle.”

HEALING & WELLBEING WITH THE POWER OF CRYSTALS

“I have studied reiki, crystal healing and facial massage for many years and have always believed in the power of crystals to heal and energise a person’s aura. We are living in the CRYSTAL AGE and in the skincare industry, we are seeing the grand age of crystal and quartz tools, like my Butterfly Lift + Sculpt Rose Quartz gua sha stone. The crystal ingredients in Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir are a powerhouse – they bring spiritual energy to the science-powered formula.”

HOW TO USE CHARLOTTE’S MAGIC SERUM CRYSTAL ELIXIR IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

Georgia Louise Vassanelli expertly explains how to use Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir as a NEW! ESSENTIAL step in your SCIENCE-POWERED skin routine…

I love to layer skincare formulas, especially when working to intensely hydrate and cater to my clients with multiple skin wishes, but with Charlotte’s Magic Serum now there is one serum which does it all.

Charlotte and I agree that beautiful makeup requires a beautiful canvas and for those of us with less time, we have created a simple 4-step routine for instantly glowing, healthy-looking skin and more youthful-looking skin over time.”

  1. Two facial cleansers, one in lemon-yellow packaging and the other in charcoal-black, with their lids off.

    STEP 1: PERFECTLY SPA-CLEANSE

    Start by double cleansing with an oil-based cleanser. Charlotte’s 2-step Goddess Cleansing Ritual uses a citrus oil cleanser to melt away surface impurities and a charcoal-based cleanser to gently extract deeper impurities away from the pores.

  2. An open luminous, ivory-coloured serum in an opened glass bottle.

    STEP 2: TARGETED SKINCARE

    Now you can apply your powerful skin booster. With Charlotte’s new MAGIC SERUM there is no need to combine with a hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, peptide or stem cell serum here – MAGIC SERUM has it all!

  3. An open glass jar filled with a pearly-white face cream with its rose-gold-coloured lid next to it.

    STEP 3: INTENSELY HYDRATE

    Seal in your serum and help boost the skin’s natural lipid barrier with a hydrating moisturiser. I recommend Charlotte’s award-winning MAGIC CREAM to bring an instant glow to dull-looking skin.

  4. Lip oil in a white coloured tube with a beige coloured cream in a glass jar with the lid beside it.

    STEP 4: TARGETED LIP AND EYE RESCUE

    Finish with targeted care around the lip and mouth, using Magic Eye Rescue to visibly brighten and reduce the appearance of dark circles around the delicate eye area, and Charlotte’s new Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir to visibly plump the look of lips and target fine vertical lines.

  5. A thick butterscotch-coloured moisturiser in a big, open glass jar with its dark-crimson-coloured lid next to it.

    FOR YOUR EVENING ROUTINE...

    "I recommend you mirror your daily routine at night, just swapping out your day cream with a more intensely nourishing night-time hydration formula like Charlotte’s Magic Night Cream, to wake up every morning with plumper-, younger-looking skin.”
