Dieux Deliverance Serum Review
My thoughts on the soothing trinity serum
Hello! Welcome to my second Dieux product review. I have already reviewed the Instant Angel Cream here.
I bought this in late summer/early fall, alongside the Auracle Eye Cream. I have been using both since fall 2024. However, I fallen off with the eye cream, but I've been using this serum consistently since then.
Notes on the product and brand.
Product Name: Deliverance Soothing Trinity Serum
Brand Name: Dieux
Price: $69 (nice!)
Amount: 30 ml (about 1 fl oz)
Price-per-amount: about $2.3 per 1 ml
Where To Buy: Dieuxskin.com and Sephora
Something cool about this product is $1 from every Deliverance sold goes to fighting the Floret Coalition, an anti-racist collective of small businesses supporting and funding equity-oriented actions via monthly donations and social campaigns. Dieux Skin donates $1 of each of their products sold to a different organizations. However, I wrote this review like a month or more ago and it doesn't seem like they do donations with this anymore specifically with this serum.
How is the product packaging?
The product comes in a paper carton.
The bottle itself a rigid plastic bottle with a matching rigid plastic pump. Pretty average. The bottle and components itself can be recycled via drop-off, not curbside.
Ingredient-callouts?
It actually has CBD at 1%, or blend of CBD*, which if you against CBD — then surprise! It also contains niacinamide at 4%, with the note: ”Niacinamide can be irritating at percentages above 5%. Survey your products; if they have high percentages of Niacinamide, pause their use when applying this product.”
It also has glycerin, my favorite moisturizing ingredient.
Also, Dimethicone, a silicone mainly found in oily-skin, blurring products.
Then, the last ingredient I recognized is shea butter.
Something really cool about the Dieux Skin website is that under the ingredient drop-down, you will a list explaining what the major ingredients in the product does for you. Then, when you click on the full ingredient list, you can actually click on every single ingredient and the site will tell you what that ingredient is and what it is used for.
I am not a cosmetic chemist, so I cannot tell what each ingredient does, but I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. Learning about what ingredients you like and don’t like is going to be integral in helping you find, buy, and use products that give you the skin you want.
*The Deliverance serum, as well as other Dieux products, use ingredient blends called complexes. So it is not necessarily glycerin on its own, it is glycerin mixed with urea and other ingredients.
How does the product smells?
No scent I can smell.
How does the product taste?
Fortunately, I have not accidentally tasted it. Thank god.
How the product itself looks and feels?
This product has a lightweight, gel-like serum texture. The website says it is milky but it doesn’t seem milky to me. I always associate milky to be more runny or an in-between a standard runny serum and gel-like serum.
The pump delivers the right amount of product, it applies easily, and sinks into the skin almost immediately.
So if you are not a fan of runny serums, you might like this.
Did I like it?
Yes, I actually love it. I noticed a difference in my skin the morning after the first night I tried it. My skin looked slightly brighter and clearer.
For reference, I use this at night, about three times per week. The website recommends using it everyday, morning and night. However, even with my routine and all the products I use, I still see a difference using the serum only 3x per week.
If you don’t know, I shave my face like three times per week because my hair grows back fast (I know, very annoying), and it can leave a lot of irritation and bumps on my skin. I feel like this product helped calm the irritation, redness, and bumps, and now my skin looks and feels a lot better.
For the claim of fine lines and wrinkles, I think yes but slightly. With good clarifying skincare products, you will see slight benefit in different areas: brighter face, smaller scars, lessens lines. It does a little bit of everything for your face.
If you read my reviews on Instant Angel and Air Angel (coming soon), you would know that both products clogged my pores. However, I think since this product is not really meant for hydrating, I feel like I wasn’t exposed to the same ingredients that clogged my skin with the first two products.
Overall, I am having a great experience with this serum.
Okay, here is an update approximately a few months after I wrote this. So when I started using this in the late summer/fall, I could see an immediate difference. I'm from the Midwest so our winters start off subtle but then they get really dry once late December, January, February hit. I noticed once the weather got super cold and dry that the serum wasn't as effective on my skin.
So for me personally this isn't the best product to have in my dry, winter skin care routine, especially if I'm exposed constantly to dry air. However, I will be using this product starting late spring (it snows in early spring), summer, fall, and early winter. I just had to phase it out for a few months in winter.
Who would I recommend this to?
Honestly, if you have the budget and want to try a new serum, I would say go for it. My experience was great. It does a little of everything and overtime, with consistent use, that little compounds into a lot.
I would also recommend this to people starting their skincare journey because I think this formula is gentle yet effective. And like I said, It does a little of everything, so when you start seeing some other areas of your skin where you need extra care, you can start adding in a targeted product for that area.
For example, since I explained that weird, you use the serum for a month and notice you want your acne scars diminished more, so you start using another product to target that.
With that being said, I shifted through the low ratings on Sephora and noticed a lot of people broke out BECAUSE they used this serum alongside a Dieux moisturizer.
As you know, both Dieux moisturizers clogged my pores, but I love this serum. If interested in other Dieux products, I highly suggest trying the serum first and then after a few weeks, trying one of its moisturizers. Getting a sample from Sephora is not a bad idea either.
Dieux, if you are reading this, sell sample sizes of you moisturizers so people can discern if it is right for them.
In general, this is a great clarifying serum.
