Review (4/5): Hello, moisturizing serum, and good-bye, dry skin!
I was already prone to dry skin before relocating to a desert climate where I was forced to really up my hydration game. I have gone through numerous products that claim to help but then end up w/ minimal (if any) improvement.
After day 1, I wasn't sold on this product either. However, I decided to continue its use for at least five days since the product description claimed noticeable improvement "after 5 days." I am glad that I stuck it out.
I initially thought the eye dropper weird but quickly grew to appreciate it. A small dose goes a long way and the eye dropper allows easier control to obtain only the bare minimum product necessary without wasting anything. I do wish that it was slightly larger as the bulb does not fill completely, so I require a refill (or two) to cover the entirety of my face, but this is a minor nuisance at most.
This product is unscented (a plus!) and smooths easily across the face. It is somewhat noticeable for a short timeframe after application. It is semi-shiny and not sticky but maybe slightly tacky (?not sure how best to describe this). If you follow the product description's instructions to "gently pat for better absorption," there is less of this feeling but it is still noticeably present. I do not wear make-up, but I imagine that those who do might need to ensure sufficient time has passed after use before dolling themselves up (if applying in the morning).
There seemed to be some mild improvement after a couple days, but there was no question about its effectiveness after the aforementioned five days. My skin was definitely smoother and improved! I look forward to continuing its use in my facial care regimen and hope to try out some of this other brand's products.
