I've been checking out products with Polyglutamic Acid, since it can hold up to four times more moisture than Hyaluronic Acid. The serum smells slightly chemical like many INKEY List products. It is quite good and leaves my dry skin very hydrated and moisturized. Would probably buy it again, if it weren't for the pilling. [Updated: Rating]
I must have after Hyaluronic Acid serum. Just locks everything in. Also a great primer before makeup.

I love this product. I need to use it more frequently. I love how it feels when I apply it. It’s a red “oil”, but easily blends into the skin.
It definitely adds glow and brightness to my skin.
I have yet to come across a product similar to this by other brands.
i like this alot buti just have no idea what it does lmao. i use it for feet, hands and dry areas after a scrub. It softens and feels nice (smells a bit coppery) but i can do just as well without it so meh. :3 i dolike it tho!
