Pleasantly surprised by its hydration level

What I love: -The glass container: it's sleek and gives a clean appearance on my vanity. (I also had it in my bathroom for the first week to use right after my nightly shower.) -Bottle Pump: it's an important feature for a product like this, to be able to control the amount dispensed. Plus, it's ...

Smooth serum that absorbs well

I've really been enjoying this alternative to retinol for body serum. I recently found out I was pregnant, so I'm no longer able to use my regular retinol products at this time, so this was a good alternative. The serum itself is a thin milky consistency that absorbs well into my skin and leaves no sticky or oily feeling to it. I've been using this at nighttime on my arms and chest and then lock in the moisture with a body cream, and it's been leaving my skin feeling nice and hydrated. This has a very light scent to it, it was almost not perceptible at all to me at first, but after it lays on my skin for a little while I can sort of smell it, with the most prominent note being the the raspberry/black current to me. This comes in a nice glass bottle, with a pump for easy dispensing, which makes it super convenient.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Thanks to Herbivore & BzzAgent for the free product! This lotion has a serum-like texture and a gentle, neutral scent. I love that it's a natural alternative to retinol, it makes my hands feel so soft and hydrated! I've been applying it every morning after I do my skincare. Comes in a fancy glass bottle and has a built in lock!

From the smell to the texture of my skin, in a really big fan of this product. The scent is earthy and natural, not too overwhelming. The texture of the cream is silky. It's been freezing temps in nyc and my skin has been struggling, particularly my legs. Since using it my legs feel much more hydrated and less dry.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I really enjoyed using this serum - I was new to body serums before trying this product and I will continue to use! I applied immediately after a shower/toweling off while my skin was still slightly damp, which I felt helped lock in moisture (I did follow up with a basic moisturizer). This product does tout itself as a retinol alternative, and while I didn't really notice any anti-aging/wrinkle-fighting benefits, I do think it made my skin softer and hydrated after continual nightly use. The smell was lovely as well - definitely a light woodsy scent that I found played well with my other products. Overall I'd recommend! I was gifted this product in exchange for my honest review.
