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 ...

I really enjoyed using this serum. The texture is light and comfortable on the skin, and what I appreciate most is the scent, it's almost imperceptible, very soft and clean, with no heaviness at all. It feels calming and pleasant, making it easy to use daily. Overall, a well-balanced serum that feels gentle, refined, and thoughtfully made.

I've been having really dry skin lately so I decided to try this skin serum out. I like how it's more light weight than lotion but it still hydrates my skin just as well. I love it.

When it comes to retinol I have to avoid. Being a new mom I look for intentional ingredients not only for the safety of myself but now my little one. This alternative to retinol body serum is absolutely amazing. It hydrates your skin so well and the texture is amazing, it's not sticky at all. It has a hint of the most wonderful scent, not too strong or overpowering just enough that smells clean. I'm actually so impressed with this body serum. It's now a staple in my skin care routine.

This body serum which contains an alternative to retinol, but still very powerful and soothing for dry skin. My body in the winter gets very dry and for my work- appearance means a lot. This has helped with not only hydration but also with firming my skin and helping my skin feel alive. The scent is very subtle but peppery and calming. I absolutely love it and just how quickly it absorbs into my dry skin! The bottle is absolutely beautiful. I am definitely going to purchase this again and definitely recommend it to everyone!
