Review (5/5): Extremely effective moisturizing, delicious scent
Great ingredients: the main cactus ingredient smells like a delicious Indian gourd (I guess that’s because it technically almost is), and the bit of added essential oils top it off to make a heavenly smell.
Back-of-the-hand-in-winter test: Oh and yes, it moisturizes extremely well. I put it to the ultimate test on the back of my hand, which has been so dry this winter it even had some cuts from dryness. It alone without other products made the rough skin relatively smooth and soft for a good 12 hours. But this serum really shone in the test using first toner, then serum, then lotion, then serum again. My hands drank it up and turned from cracked to smooth and happy, staying that way for over 12 hours. Just toner and lotion didn’t have the same result, so the serum is definitely the star here.
On the face: just love it. After toner, followed by moisturizer.
