Pleasantly surprised by its hydration level

What I love: -The glass container: it's sleek and gives a clean appearance on my vanity. (I also had it in my bathroom for the first week to use right after my nightly shower.) -Bottle Pump: it's an important feature for a product like this, to be able to control the amount dispensed. Plus, it's ...

This serum is a game changer! I have terribly dry skin but after adding this under my moisturizer, it makes such a huge difference in how soft my skin is, and how much more hydrated it is. Only thing is due to it being a thin consistency, im going to be using a lot more of it. I received this product for free in exchange for writing a review.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This body serum is great! It has a milky texture that smells woody and so good. The packaging is glass and heavy , definitely gives high-end vibes. When it comes to the serum itself, it is very hydrating and few pumps are enough for the whole body. I like to use it after showering, it smells good and feels nice and soft on my skin

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I used this product after every shower. It was thin enough to soak into my skin quickly while still being moisturizing. I loved the herb scent this has and it made me look forward to using it everyday. Overall, I noticed my skin becoming softer over time but I will have to use it for a longer period to determine if the retinol provides any other improvements. I do think this is a great line for aging skin bc of its gentle formulation. I would recommend to anyone looking to try body retinol since this is gentle enough for beginners.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I love the texture, and gave tried every body retinol serum their is. This one has a great milky texture, but after two days of using it, i of course broke out witu a rash all over my chest and neck, an anywhere else i applied this. Im not allergic to retinol, but Bakuchiol? Im allergic obviously. This isnt the first time ive gotten a rash from using a product that has Bakuchiol in it. Its supposed to be more gentle than retinol, but i beg to differ. I can use regular retinol every day without an y issues, but as soon as i put Bakuchiol on my skin? Im guaranteed to get a rash and it sucks because im not usually allergic to any skincare, except that ingredient. Something in it my skin doesnt like. I bought this with my own money an i will be returning as well.
