Thoughts: I saw one YouTuber use this product and it intrigued me. She really made her skin glow and look dewy. I want the dewy look. It makes you look younger.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while using. I just sniffed the product and there's a slight scent. It's so light that I had to sniff real hard to smell it. I did smell watermelon. Secondly, I like the packaging. It's simple and shiny, light pink stands out. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of glass. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I lift up and down the lid. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse and bag. It's also easy to hold with one hand. You also have full control of the pump. You can pump out as much as you like. Third, the consistency is kind of gel-like instead of being liquidity. It's also on the medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also no too thin that it runs. It's a good consistency and you can take your time massaging it into your skin. With that said, it's easy to use. After cleansing and toning, the first thing I apply is the serum and then I finish off the skin care routine. It's light-weight, not greasy, not sticky, and extremely comfortable on the skin. Since I have dry skin, it absorbs quickly. I feel like people with normal to oily skin, it might take some time to absorb into the skin. It's also hydrating. With hydration, you notice less fine to thick lines with usage. Lastly, my skin looks fine the next morning. I use this product mornings and nights. Would I say it's a miracle worker? No. The main reason I got this product is to get the dewy look. It might be my skin texture, but I saw no dewiness. I saw slight shine but it's so minimal that I had to look closely. If I wanted the dewy look that I saw YouTubers put, I need to pump a lot of product. This product would run out quickly. I am glad I got this product. If I just want a hydrating product, this will be fine. If you are looking for anti-aging or the dewiness, you will need to use a lot. I think this brand targets people in their twenties. If you are thirties or older, I say skip.
