The packaging for this product is a shimmery silver and turquoise box, minimal but suggests higher end for a product available in supermarkets. The bottle itself is made of glass with a white opaque finish to protect the product from sun damage. The applicator is a dropper that inserts into the bottle and provides a measured amount. I prefer a pump applicator for ease of use, but this is okay.
The product itself is white with a slight shimmery tinge to it. It is not oily, more creamy but of a consistency which glides onto your skin with ease. The directions suggest using two pumps twice a day, but I found one to one and half each time provided sufficient coverage. The product has a slight aroma, ordinarily I dislike fragranced products strongly but this was quite pleasant, almost like you are inhaling a relaxing essential oil as you apply the product to your skin.
The serum glides over your skin with ease and feels like it soaks in effortlessly. My skin felt hydrated and the shimmery tinge to the serum certainly provided a dewy glow. Further skin care products and makeup applied with ease over this serum.
Did this serum live up to it's claim? Hmmm... being mindful I only trialled this product for two weeks it is hard to categorically state either way but, the product claims to contain Niacinamide to reduce the look of dark spots - I wouldn't say my dark spots have necessarily reduced but the dewy glow of the product did make my skin overall appear brighter and supported makeup application to cover dark spots with ease. The product also claims to penetrate 10 surface layers deep to reveal skin's natural glow - again, I can't be sure if it penetrated this deep to reveal a natural glow but upon application my skin did appear brighter with a glow, which i would have credited to the slight shimmer in the serum as to the cause of this glow.
Overall a very pleasing product and I look forward to continuing use of this serum beyond the trial time to decide if it is to become a staple in my skin care routine.
After I bought this I realised the packaging didn’t even mention the amount of vit c in product. However I have used it since purchasing a few wks ago. Pleasant mild fragrance. Absorbs easily and leaves a lovely glow on the skin which I like. Didn’t really notice much difference to my skin until I had been using it for three or more weeks. Skin looks way clearer and has a more even look to my colouring. Will continue to use this product.
Tips: Use this in morning before moisturiser. One pump of the product was more than enough for my face.
