I absolutely love this serum! I have used it intermittently for the past few years. I really enjoy using it during the cold, dry winter months because it is super hydrating. It's nice and thin, so it spreads easily and doesn't feel heavy. It just sinks right in. At first, I wasn't sure it was working, but eventually I noticed that my skin would still be hydrated the next morning.
