Seriously so glad I tried this product

I ordered the trial kit that came with this and the matching eye cream. I came back to buy this again and I was very surprised to see the lower rating, and honestly, the two low ratings I dont believe are quite fair. Ive been using both every night for a few weeks now. I have seen very noticeable d...

Great serum but not 1.01 oz 🥲

I was so excited to try this serum and finally got my hands on it about 2 weeks ago. I did notice that the dropper was being a bit difficult and that it wasn't grabbing a lot of product. Nonetheless, I got the few drops I could (which wasn't alot)when I'd use it. Somehow I'm already close to finish...

The amount of product vs price point feels like a scam

There is absolutely not 1.0 oz of product in this bottle. From the moment I opened it from the package, the bottle felt basically empty, all of the serum was basically already in the dropper. Couldn't even gage any results if I wanted to

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Must have for anti-aging and glowy skin!

I love this serum so much that I am already on my second bottle! Just a little goes a long way, apply it to your cleaned, toned face at night and you will wake up with a nice plump look. I have sensitive skin and this worked well on my face without causing any issues. I even noticed i ditched my night face cream because this (even when used alone) does the job!

I was so excited to try this serum and finally got my hands on it about 2 weeks ago. I did notice that the dropper was being a bit difficult and that it wasn't grabbing a lot of product. Nonetheless, I got the few drops I could (which wasn't alot)when I'd use it. Somehow I'm already close to finishing this product. Mind you, I use it every other day. My sister happened to get this product earlier today. She called me saying that the dropper is flimsy and not picking up product and that the bottle looks almost empty. Soooo not sure what's going on, but I hope they fix that because it's a great serum!! My skin has been looking very smooth and I think its partly from this every other night. Hope it gets resolved.
