   Absorbs quickly, doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, clog my pores, cause acne, or make my skin oily. I love mixing it half and half with my heavier creams or thicker foundations. I find they spread better and mesh with my skin better. I love how its unscented too. The packaging dispenses the exact amount every time and doesn’t leak when travelling. As for any “miracles”, I don’t think the ingredients support that. I’ve been using for several years and haven’t found my pigmentation or fine lines improve. I like what it does for me and keep using, but only buy on special as its really just a light moisturiser for me.

   I’m wavering between 2 and 3 lippies for this product. It’s not a horrible product, but it just didn’t do anything for me, and it wasn’t cheap either. This serum goes for €45 on their website, which is up there with significantly more high end brands. I bought it on sale for a lot less, but still – with that price tag I expected something more. It’s a thin, slightly oily consistency that sinks into the skin surprisingly quickly. It has a slew of claims, from brightening to firming and anti-ageing. It also boasts with a ton of natural ingredients from all kinds of superfruits and plants, but again, I didn’t see the miraculous results that the description and the name hinted at. It wasn’t very hydrating either, so if anything I think it’d be best for people whose skin has no tendencies to get dry, or for the warmer months/warmer climates. It didn’t break me out, which is good I guess, but I can find a lot of products that doesn’t AND does something for my skin. The packaging feels very cheap, and I realised right away that it was very reminiscent of another product. I finally figured it out – I swear it’s the exact same packaging as Max Factor’s Colour Adapt foundation that I used to cake on my face in my early teens. Ah, the nostalgia!

   I can’t speak for the application under makeup, since I only use this at night, but I believe the reviewer below as I have sometimes noticed it has a slight tendency to ball up. It hasn’t been a huge issue for me, though. Maybe it depends on what other products you use it with?

   It does claim to be completely free of chemicals (obviously buying into the whole “all chemicals are bad chemicals” agenda), so if you want something really natural for your skin and you don’t mind essential oils such as lavender – this might be for you. I’m all for going as natural as possible without losing effectiveness, but for me, this formula was ineffective. Overall, not impressed with the performance, and though I’ve not used it up, I’ve moved on to a serum that gives my skin both the hydration and brightening effect it needs.

   + Cruelty free (PETA certified)
   + Vegan
   + Free of a whole lot of undesirables – parabens, sulfates, PEGs, and so on
   + Didn’t break me out

   – I didn’t notice a single difference when using this serum, compared to using no serum at all. None.
   – “Free of chemicals” claim makes me want to roll my eyes a bit
   – Not worth the price tag
   – Cheap packaging

   This is a nice little addition to my regimen however I can only use it in PM since it balls like nothing else. This is one fussy little sista since I cannot mix it with anything stop the balling either. This peels off everything else I use afterwards so its quite limited in its ability to be used whenever. This is a liquid type serum that has virtually no smell and absorbs easily. It has impressive list of ingredients but I don’t feel its great enough to purchase again since there are items with far more effective ingredients I prefer to use at night. This would be great if you only wear 2 layers, this and moisturiser. Great dispensing system in opaque bottle and it has great potential for future revision.
