I saw a considerable improvement in overall skin texture and brightness. This serum also helped to even out my skin tone and lighten under-eye circles. Used 3-5 times weekly.
I adore this product - it is the most elegantly formulated HA that I’ve ever tried. It’s not runny, but it’s also not sticky. It neither feels like glorified water nor does it just sit on your skin - it absorbs beautifully, and you feel the bounce!
Minus one star because… well, it’s beaucoup bux for *just* HA. Now that I’m in my 40s, I want serums that pull double-duty! & for less than half the Show more
