Calming Serum – The Overview
“Dr. Barbara Sturm” is a German aesthetics doctor who makes a handful of anti-wrinkle creams and serums including Calming Serum. Calming Serum is an anti-aging serum that the manufacturer claims will soothe and rebalance irritated skin.
It is marketed and sold through an official website which contains some information about the product and how it is supposed to work. While the website is reasonably professional in appearance and consumer friendly, it is very standard in what it offers. Some contact details are shown so consumers can get in touch with the customer service department and there are a few success stories but no before and after photos. The product page for Calming Serum includes the list of ingredients contained in the formula, but no full descriptions are provided on each and individual amounts used are not disclosed. Instructions for usage are very brief and there are no additional features such as video tutorials etc.
Consumers can purchase Calming Serum directly from the website where it is sold for $250 which is extremely more expensive than comparable brands. The company does not offer discounts for larger orders and they don’t provide free samples or have any kind of loyalty programs for their customers. There is a mention of a money back guarantee and returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt. Items must be returned unopened/unused, with tags, in their original packaging.
Ingredients Contained in The Product
Purslane Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Glycerine, Panthenol
Calming Serum – Product Description
According to the manufacturer, Calming Serum is enriched with an active, plant-based complex of Cardiospermum, Echium Plantagineum and Sunflower that soothes and rebalances irritated skin. Purslane, an anti-aging powerhouse, helps calm the skin and reduce visible signs of irritation. Perfect for soothing your complexion after sun exposure, shaving, sleep loss, jet lag, air conditioning or environmental pollution. When used over time, this serum strengthens the skin’s natural defenses, minimizing the skin’s sensitized reaction. The key active ingredients used in the formula are listed but their concentrated amounts are not shown and there are also no results shown form any clinical testing that may have been performed. They ecommend that after cleansing, apply to the face. Wait for the serum to absorb before applying the manufacturer’s face cream. To reduce skin sensitivity, use regularly in the morning and/or evening.

Bad about Calming Serum
- Calming Serum is very expensive

Calming Serum – The Bottom Line
Judging from the ingredients that are contained in Calming Serum, it may have some effect on reducing major signs of aging when used on a regular basis as directed. However, most consumers would want to see more information not only regarding each ingredient, such as their specific benefits but their concentrated amounts too. While having an official web presence is good, it would be even better if the manufacturer expanded on it, offering any clinical testing performed on the product and how soon users can expect to experience results. Although there are very few customer success stories, they shouldn’t be relied upon as a clear indication of how a product works as everyone’s skin care needs are different.
Calming Serum is very expensive and consumers cannot get the discounted price for larger orders. It should also be kept in mind that there is a conditional money back guarantee and there are no free samples available. Being expensive for this type of anti-wrinkle product suggests that it is of a reasonably good quality although that cannot be confirmed due to the absence of clinical testing results. As with most anti-aging serums, its full effects may only be known after using it consistently for at least a month or two.
