I'm a regular Clinique user. My mom decided to gift me a bunch of products of my choosing. One of them was the active glow serum. After 3 days of using it in my morning and evening routine I noticed my skin quite literally had more of a glow to it. I'm 60, have worked outside the last 20 years. My skin isn't great. This made it go from looking dull to glowing.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Im really enjoying this serum! It's super hydrating and feels great on my skin. The ingredients are impressive, which makes me feel good about using it. My only issue is the scent; it smells like rubbing alcohol to me. Because of that, I'll be using it on my skin rather than my face. The packaging is adorable and I appreciate the opportunity to try it. Thank you, Influenster!
