Review (2/5): STRONG Smell, Couldn’t Get Past The Smell to Really Use It Other Than a Drop on My Hand
When this first arrived, I was going to open the amazon packaging and I could smell a strong, medicine like scent. So, I immediately thought that it must have broken in transit. Once I opened the amazon shipping package, there was a box inside. There wasn’t anything all over the box, so I opened it, and inside was a glass bottle completely intact. I couldn’t understand why the scent was so strong if the bottle was intact. Then, I thought if I can smell it that strong now, I wonder how it’ll be using it. The scent of the packaging had such a strong medicine kind of pepper smell, it was really overpowering.
Inside the box, there’s a product info card. It has the product on one side with what benefits it’s supposed to have. The other side has specific instructions on how and when to use, and a full list of ingredients. I really liked that!
The product comes in a glass bottle with a dropper. The bottle seems nice and durable. The product itself is a orange-yellowish color. I applied a little to the top of my hand and it felt oily. Someone in another review said it felt oily but they expected that since it was an oil. I’m not sure if they were talking about this product or another one. This is called a serum, so I don’t really expect it to be oily. I’m not sure if it’s some kind of serum, oil combo? I have dry skin so the oiliness wasn’t too bad for me. But, I could still feel it, so if I had oily skin I probably wouldn’t even want to use it.
Anyways, the most use I could get out of it was the little I put on the top of my hand. The scent was so strong, it made me a little sick to my stomach. I’m not usually sensitive to smells, so it must have just been this specific scent - it had a medicinal, pepper type smell. I don’t really know how to describe it, but it wasn’t for me. So, unfortunately I can’t really say whether or not this is a good product. All I can say is that it comes in a nice glass bottle with a dropper, has a really strong scent, and it feels oily. If you’re sensitive to smells, I would say this isn’t for you.
