Skintific 4D Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum 36 ingredients
It's alright. It doesn't hydrate as much as I thought it would even thought it specializes in hydrating the skin. The texture is watery, takes a longer time time to absorb imo. The product is also 20ml instead of an average 30ml serum volume for a higher price with below average effect. Definitely not worth it.
