To quickly note, I received this for free from Picky and DEWYTREE in exchange for my honest review.
The serum contains 40 ml (1.35 oz) and is fragrance-free.
The serum is viscous and not super watery.
It has a faint orange tint and it feels lightweight.
It leaves the skin with a subtle glow.
Recommended use is to apply an appropriate amount and smoothly apply it to your face. After using it, the serum is very gentle, soothing, and doesn’t cause me any irritation. Make sure not to skip sunblock when using; it really made my skin look more glowy and brighter. It's also quite hydrating, and it doesn't contain any artificial fragrance, but it does have at least one essential oil in the ingredient list. It has very nourishing ingredients, but it does contain a couple of fragrance-related ingredients that are known irritants. I'd recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin and to anyone with oily-combination skin, as well as it's hydrating but not super over-the-top moisturizing.
What I like: I appreciate how genuinely gentle this serum is; it's not irritating and is hydrating. It adds a lovely glow and doesn't cause me any irritation. It's pretty soothing on top of that and isn't overly heavy or sticky on the skin. What I don't like: there are some irritants despite being fragrance-free.
Artificial fragrance-free
