Summary
I had a travel size bottle of this product and not the usual packaging. The serum is slightly translucent and easy to apply, being quickly absorbed into the skin. It is non-greasy and not tightening on the skin. The product has good moisturisation and combines well with creams applied on top of this product. The serum is almost fragrance free, with a very barely perceptible fragrance. I did not notice effects from the product but the size of bottle I had was 10ml and a longer use would be needed.
