Don’t get the bad reviews, yes, it is such thin and watery serum, but it delivers many peptides and visibly improves signs of aging. I do use other products for hydration and moisture and actually appreciate this doesn’t have any HA or other things as it’s easy to go overboard with those if you have sensitive skin. I like it, hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts , does what it’s supposed to Show more
I have dry skin so I love rich textures. This feels like water. You probably love it if you are oily but for me I need to feel that every product adds to the hydration of my skin
