i really like this, BUT, i've never used any kind of serum before so i don't have anything to compare it to.it's light, has a VERY mild pleasing scent, and it doesn't irritate the skin (no stinging whatsoever).my only issue would be the size, pretty small, but i guess a little goes a long way; four drops seems to be just right for me (directly drop one on forehead, cheeks, and chin) but it dries pretty quick so it can't be massaged in slowly.lastly, i've been using their ginseng green tea night cream for a while now and i can honestly say that it does great on its own. i do feel like this serum gives it a nice boost though, so if thats what you're looking for, give it a try.i'd have to use it for a longer time to really notice the changes (smaller pores, less acne, and such) but i'm liking it so far.UPDATE: been using this for a little over two months i wanna say? and first off, three drops straight down the middle works as well (forehead, nose, chin; massage in bottom to top, 'cause gravity) but i do go with four when i wanna make sure its really on there nice!i have noticed my pores have gotten smaller and that i dont get much acne anymore (if i do, its those tiny harmless ones). overall my complexion looks balanced/even compared to before i wanna say? but it could just be the whole routine ive been doing. i do use one of those electric face brushes every other day. plus i started washing my face only before going to bed. for mornings i just use a toner (one of those basic apple cider vinegar mixes: half acv, half distilled water, and a few drops of essential oil; either lavender or tea tree, or whatever else suits your skin). ive been liking this, i feel like it lets my skin breathe plus acv is supposed to balance out your skin ph or something? either way, it does make products such as this one last longer ;D. i'll use a good sunscreen if im heading out though.i still continue to use their night cream as well (which i really like, its light but it hydrates well!) so that could be it too. also, their new mask is awesome, its the most gentle one ive yet to use.i can see all their products working incredibly well together, so do give it a go if youre thinking about it. but aside from their shampoo and conditioner, once i run out, i might start dabbling in the whole natural, diy thing to see whats up. 'cause you put it all together on your own, so you know exactly how its made and whats in it, plus when (trial and error, might take a while getting it right, might not) you get it right, theres that deep sense of satisfaction (i can make stuff! that work!) you just cant buy.so yeah, i'll stick to what ive said before, you want that extra boost, get it. but i personally dont feel like all the extra stuff is necessarily NEEDED. good face wash, good face cream/eye cream, start early enough and you are pretty much good....i guess a good diet helps.... some exercise too, you know, to get the heart going to release those toxins. it is all connected, so just see what you need i guess!

This was pretty good I have always used this brand for cleanser and it is my first time trying the serum I will have to say the scent does take some getting used to and is quite potent

I have extremely sensitive skin and am always wary of trying retinol. This not only made my skin look firmer, better hydrated, and more youthful, it also seemed to clear up an active breakout and help my rosacea - unintended consequences I think, but still awesome. The serum feels goopy right out of the bottle, but absorbs fully into the skin pretty quickly. I like it so much that I have already added the night and eye creams to my cart in anticipation of my next order.

I don't like products that leaves a grreasy film after application and this serum is the best one I have ever tried. Fast absorbing and non greasy. Has deep moisturing that makes my skin hydrated all day. Very satisfied with the results.
