Effective, absorbs quickly, lightweight, organic
Weakest points
None that I found, though the price might be more than you want to pay.
Summary
The serum is very lightweight, not greasy or sticky feeling. It sank into my skin pretty quick too, which makes me think I should re-consider what I’m currently using. That or I’m a bit drier thanks to more sun exposure of late. The serum is fragrance-free and I notice the packaging says it can be used on its own. Generally speaking, serums aren’t meant to be used in place of moisturiser. However, you tailor your skin care regimen to suit as you like. The box and plastic pump bottle are all recycleable. And of course, Melvita are bunny-friendly and eco-certified.
Result: I’m at the stage in life where I’ve adopted a more French approach to skin care ie: maintenance rather than prevention. So this serum works well with that outlook and is something I would use again.

Strongest points
Very easily absorbed and no trouble at all to put on. It certainly plumped up my lacklustre skin, especially around the eyes.
Weakest points
Not much of a smell compared to others so you don't "look forward" to putting it on as much. THe bottle and pack are a bit disappointing appearance-wise for the price.

A very effective professional product - at a price!

Summary
Totally natural and organic, I have been regularly using this for well over a month underneath my moisturiser day and night, I have found it extremely hydrating yet lightweight and it does not leave an oily residue feeling after applying to the face which I really liked. It was so easy to use and you cant use too much as one pump is really all you need its silky smooth to apply and had a very pure subtle scent to it. My skin had no break outs whatsoever while I have been using this and that is very rare as I do occasionaly get the odd spot now and then. The smoothness in my skin is fab as its hydrated and soft and the overall texture and skins tone looks much improved.
I think this is a great serum I haven't used any of my previous ones since trying this its just great in every way possible.
