As for why she went with an oil-based product over a cream, she has her reasons. “I find my skin does better with a moisturizing oil than a cream. It just soaks it in,” she said in the same interview.

Each bottle is consists of natural essential oils like baobab oil, grapeseed oil, pumpkin seed oil, and rosehip oil to replenish the skin cells, keep cells rejuvenated, and prevent signs of aging by improving elasticity. According to the brand, a powerhouse aspect of the serum is its nutraceutical complex, which works to support collagen production, improve fine lines, and smooth wrinkles while still feeling ultra-light and hydrating. It also works on all skin types, is unisex, and is infused with natural botanical extracts to help improve skin tone and texture.

And customers love it, too. “As I’ve gotten older I decided that I need to do something to help with the elasticity of my skin,” one reviewer wrote. “I took a chance and started using Aura Glow Serum for the last six months. I am thrilled with my results! My skin is firm, glowing, and radiant. Everywhere I go out and every social gathering I attend I am approached by friends and strangers alike about how healthy and youthful my skin looks.”

Another reviewer added, “A friend recommended this serum and I was reluctant to buy it because I thought it was too expensive. I broke down and bought it, and it’s definitely worth every penny. My skin looks radiant and feels so soft and smooth.”

If you’re looking for some more affordable recs from Williams, she has you covered. She recently revealed she loves as her everyday, fuss-free tinted moisturizer. The product comes from makeup artist Richard Anderson, and Williams says she won’t leave the house without it.

“His new skin tint is one of my all-time favorites–and the mascara is amazing too,” she said.
