The serum is really nice, I like the milky texture and it left me feeling hydrated.

Unfortunately, the dropper stopped working after a few uses... and this is not an isolated issue. Many other people have reported this with the serum. It was so bad that I had to return it. Ridiculous, since I would've held onto it had that not been an issue. How hard is it to design a dropper? My review would have been 4 stars had that not been the case.
