Finally a product that is oil free and hydrates my face without an irritating texture
I bought this serum on the recommendation of a friend. I like the consistency & feel of the serum on my face. I would say it is comparable to Estee Lauder Idealist in that regard. I’m happy to find this affordable solution.
