First Impression:

It comes in a tinted sturdy bottle with a pump. I was surprised that it come with a pump instead of a dropper like it tends to be but I am not complaining. The pump works great. It relievers the right amount of product.

Overall Assessment:

I do not have visible signs of aging such as wrinkles so it would be hard to provide feedback in the area. But since this is an anti-aging serum and based on the key ingredients, I am calm knowing the my skin is receiving a nice treatment. 

This is by far the best fast drying serum that I have ever tried. Usually I have to wait a few minutes for my serum to be absorbed before following with a moisturizer but I do not have to wait with this one. It makes my night routine go by faster. 

It hydrates my skin and it makes it feel plump and smooth. I tend use it at night but when I decide to use it during the day, I make sure to follow it up with a moisturizer to lock in the nutrients and then add a layer of sun protection which I apply every 3 hours. I always use sun protection but when using this serum it is recommended to use it because it makes your skin extra sensitive to the UV rays. 

The main reason I got this serum was to protect my skin, to treat my skin to some anti-aging nutrients and to help reduce my hyper pigmentation. I have been using this serum for about two weeks and I have not been amazed. It is not a miracle worker and some of my spots of hyper pigmentation are still visible. They have faded a little but not completely. I will continue to use it and I'll update you if anything changes.
