Did nothing for my skin
Summary
I had a sachet of this to try. It is a clear, very runny serum. When I applied it to my face it left my skin feeling dry and tight and had no discernible good qualities.

I have four samples of this product but after using them all I was not convinced that there was enough improvement to make me want to buy this expensive product.

Great serum that lifts and tightens the skin, but the packaging is not easy to use, and it's overpriced.

Strongest points
Attractive bottle. Easily absorbed, easy to apply. Good tightening and lifting action.
Weakest points
Very expensive. The dropper is not very effective and difficult to get the product out especially when bottle is almost empty.
Summary
Very expensive serum with a dropper attached to the top which does not work very well at all so i ended up just tipping the serum out into my hand which proved quite wastefull. I have used much cheaper serums that appear to do the same job so I would not recommended over spending on this product.
