Foundation Primer SPF50 PA+++

Foundation Primer SPF50 PA+++

Sola

Tinted Sunscreens

|

₱699

As a lightweight, glowy everyday base, Sola is genuinely good. As a sunscreen is where the 3-in-1 promise gets shaky, and for a surprising reason: a little already gives real coverage, so you naturally use a thin layer, and a thin layer is not enough to trust as your only SPF.The good: blends with bare fingers, feels lightweight, has a light-to-medium coverage that hides redness and dark spots, and the shade matched after settling with no oxidation.The catch: by the 4-hour mark, the T-zone and sides of the nose start to shine, so you'll need to blot.Our honest opinion:Get it if you want an easy, glowy everyday base, and you do not mind blotting. Skip it if you need full coverage, matte oil control, or a sunscreen you can fully rely on.
Melano CC Deep Clear Enzyme Face Wash

Melano CC Deep Clear Enzyme Face Wash

Rohto

Japanese Cleansers

|

₱504

Pros:Strong cleansing power; effectively removes excess oil and dirtCreates rich, dense foam that’s gentle on the skinLeaves a fresh, clean finish without residueMild citrus scent that isn’t overpoweringAffordable and offers good value for moneyPotential Cons:May feel slightly drying for very sensitive skinEnzyme formula may not suit those prone to irritationThe Melano CC Deep Clear Enzyme Face Wash is a great option for anyone who wants a refreshing cleanse with rich, dense foam. In testing, it removed up to 199.54 mg of oil, showing strong cleansing performance. Compared to some products that removed only around 100 mg, it stands out for its ability to wash away excess sebum and dirt. This makes it especially suitable for teens, young adults, and those with oily skin.Another highlight is how well it lathers. It creates a thick, cushiony foam that lets you wash your face gently without too much friction. Unlike some cleansers where the foam quickly breaks down, this one stays dense and stable during use. The scent is also mild, with a light citrus note that isn’t overpowering, making it easy to use for most people.It leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed after rinsing. Testers noted that it provides a good balance, removing oil without making the skin feel overly dry. While some online reviews mention a tight feeling, this wasn’t a major concern in testing. It also rinses off easily, with no slippery residue left behind.The formula includes enzyme-based cleansing ingredients that help remove excess oil and dead skin cells, which can contribute to clogged pores. This makes it a good choice for those dealing with blackheads. While enzymes can sometimes be a bit strong for sensitive skin, the formula also includes clay ingredients that may help reduce potential irritation.It’s priced at around ₱400–₱500 for a 130 g tube. Considering its strong cleansing power and pleasant feel after washing, it offers solid value for money. If you’re looking for an effective facial cleanser, this is worth trying.
Melano CC Medicated Whitening Lotion

₱740

Pros:Excellent hydration for dry skin (+48.21 moisture increase in testing)Gentle formula suitable for sensitive skinSmooth, slightly thick texture that absorbs quicklyAffordable price and widely available in the PhilippinesPotential Cons:Only one brightening active ingredientCitrus scent may not suit everyoneThe Melano CC Medicated Whitening Lotion Moist Type is a great option for those with dry or sensitive skin looking for an affordable brightening (whitening) lotion. In our testing, it delivered strong moisturizing results. After applying it to testers’ arms, skin moisture levels increased by an average of +48.21 after two hours. Compared to some products that only reached around +12.75, this lotion stands out for its ability to hydrate deeply and help prevent dryness.Its gentle formula also makes it suitable for sensitive skin. Based on expert ingredient analysis, it contains relatively few components that may cause irritation. It also includes a solid range of brightening support ingredients. Along with an active ingredient that helps prevent skin irritation, it contains plant extracts and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to help support the skin’s barrier function. However, it only contains one recognized brightening active ingredient, which may not be enough for those who want more intensive whitening care.The texture and overall feel are another highlight. It has a slightly thick, smooth consistency that spreads easily across the skin. Testers noted that it “glides on smoothly” and “feels gentle,” and it absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy or sticky finish. The scent is a fresh citrus fragrance. While some users may find it a bit strong, most found it mild and generally pleasant for daily use.In the Philippines, this product is widely available on Shopee and Lazada, typically priced at around ₱550-₱750 for a 170mL bottle. Compared to other Japanese brightening lotions in the same category, it offers strong hydration and decent ingredient support at a much more affordable price point, making it a practical entry-level option.Overall, it’s a solid choice if you want to start brightening care without spending too much, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. However, if your main goal is more intensive whitening results, you may want to pair this with other whitening products or explore other options with multiple active ingredients.
Light Reflecting Foundation

Light Reflecting Foundation

NARS

Dewy Foundations

₱1,888

ProsLong-lasting finish that stays fresh for hoursMaintains a hydrated, radiant look even after extended wearLightweight formula that creates a natural, skin-like finishSmooth, fluid texture that blends easily across the skinAlmost fragrance-free, making it suitable for those sensitive to scentWide shade range with 15 colors and detailed undertonesPotential ConsCoverage is lighter compared with some competing foundationsPump bottle can feel stiff and may take time to get used toNARS Light Reflecting Foundation is a strong choice for days when you may not have time to touch up your makeup. When our testers checked their skin eight hours after application, many commented that their skin still looked hydrated and the foundation had stayed in place well. Compared with other radiant-finish foundations we tested, which often allowed oil to surface more easily, NARS Light Reflecting Foundation maintained a clean and polished look for longer.The finish was also impressive. Because the formula applies in a thin layer, it rarely looks heavy on the skin. This supports online reviews that say it creates a natural-looking, radiant complexion. Many radiant-type foundations in our comparison avoided looking overly made up, and this one was no exception. Similar to CHANEL Ultra Le Teint Fluide, it works well for people who prefer makeup that enhances the skin while still keeping a natural look.Testers also responded positively to the fresh, fluid texture. Some of the products we compared felt thicker, but this formula spread smoothly across the skin. Every tester commented that it blends easily and has good spreadability. Another advantage is that it is almost fragrance-free during use, making it less likely to bother people who are sensitive to scent. However, the packaging received mixed feedback. As some online reviews mention, the pump can feel stiff, so it may take some time to get used to dispensing the foundation smoothly.The shade range is another highlight. With 15 shades available, it offers more variety than many of the products we tested, more than half of which had only 10 shades or fewer. The shades are divided into detailed undertones and tones, making it easier to find a color that closely matches your skin. We used the shade "Deauville" in our testing.Coverage was the only area where the foundation was slightly less impressive. When we compared the skin before and after application, a competitor foundation reduced the appearance of pores by about 75%, while NARS Light Reflecting Foundation reduced them by around 57%. Overall, the number of noticeable pores decreased by about 33%.Because the formula focuses on a natural, skin-like finish, it does not provide very heavy coverage. It is best suited for those who prefer a light, radiant look rather than a heavy foundation. If stronger coverage is your priority, you may want to consider other foundations as well.
Heart Brush

Heart Brush

ReFa

Hairbrushes

|

₱1,379

The ReFa Heart Brush stands out for its compact design and easy maintenance. It features a handle-free, heart-shaped design and comes with a protective cover, making it easy to slip into your bag. If you’re looking for a portable hairbrush you can bring to work, school, or while traveling around the Philippines, this design is practical and convenient.One of its strongest points is that it’s washable. You can rinse it with water to quickly remove hair oil, hair milk, or product buildup. This makes regular cleaning simple and helps keep the brush hygienic over time.In terms of smoothness, the results were decent. After three strokes on shampooed hair, smoothness improved by 79.85% based on instrument testing. The brush improved comb-through noticeably, though it did not completely remove tangles at the ends. For mildly tangled or normal hair, it performs well enough for daily use.The shine-enhancing effect was also moderate. Gloss measurements showed an average increase of 14.56% after brushing. While it may not dramatically transform dull hair, it does help improve the overall look, especially when used on already well-conditioned hair.Ease of brushing was average to good. The pins vary in length, allowing them to reach the scalp comfortably. However, because of its handle-free design, some testers found it slightly difficult to grip. Others appreciated the compact shape. Comfort may depend on your personal preference.Overall, the ReFa Heart Brush is best suited for those who want a stylish, portable, and easy-to-clean hairbrush with decent smoothness and shine improvement. If you’re looking for a convenient daily brush rather than an intensive detangling tool, this could be a good fit for your needs in the Philippines.
Premium Ex Repair Mask

TSUBAKI

Hair Masks

₱749

The TSUBAKI Premium Ex Repair Mask is a good option for those looking for a quick, easy hair treatment. Among the products we tested, it was one of the few that required zero waiting time. After reviewing the formula, we found amino acid–based conditioning ingredients that help improve hair texture and smoothness.When tested on bleached hair samples, our testers rated the overall manageability as decent. Contrary to some online reviews, most of our testers were satisfied with the moisture level. Because it has a rich, oily feel, it may suit those with thick hair or high hair density. That said, it doesn’t overly weigh hair down, so even those with fine hair may still find it manageable.However, when it came to smoothness, reviewers noted some slight drag while combing. Instrument testing also showed a higher friction coefficient than the average of other products we compared. This means it only mildly improves the hair's smoothness compared to other products on the market.Overall, compared with top-performing hair masks that left hair smooth and beautifully controlled all the way to the ends, this product showed average ability to treat dry hair. It appears to work best for hair that is not severely damaged. If your hair is heavily damaged or extremely dry, you may want to consider combining this product with other treatments or using other hair masks available in the Philippines that offer deeper repair and smoother results.
Cezanne Pearl Glow Highlighter

Cezanne Pearl Glow Highlighter

Cezanne

Highlighter

|

₱420

The Cezanne Pearl Glow Highlighter 01 Champagne Beige is ideal for those who prefer a bold, luminous glow rather than a subtle sheen. This affordable Japanese highlighter works especially well for events, parties, or full-glam makeup looks where you want your highlight to stand out.It contains large, highly reflective shimmer particles that create a bright, dimensional finish. The glow is noticeable and defined. If your goal is to enhance facial structure and achieve a radiant, sculpted look, this shade performs well. It is also relatively resistant to sweat and friction, making it a practical option in warm, humid conditions.One drawback is the included brush. It is small and slightly difficult to maneuver, and the product does not adhere as seamlessly as expected. Some powder fallout and slight white cast may occur depending on application and skin tone. The built-in brush is convenient for quick touch-ups, but for a smoother, more even application, a separate highlighter brush is recommended.As of writing, the price is around ₱420 on Lazada and Shopee, making it a fairly budget-friendly highlighter. Given its strong glow and affordable price point, it’s an easy option to try if you’re looking for a radiant Japanese highlighter without spending a fortune.
Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion

Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion

₱827

Rohto Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion (Emulsion) is a strong option for anyone looking for an affordable Japanese moisturizer that delivers reliable hydration. In our testing, skin moisture levels increased by an average of 27.76 units four hours after application compared to before use.Another highlight: moisture levels remained almost unchanged between 30 minutes and four and a half hours after application. While some emulsions we tested showed nearly a 10% drop in hydration over time, this formula demonstrated solid moisture retention, helping keep skin hydrated for hours.Testers also praised its moisturizing yet comfortable feel. Many said it “absorbs well” and leaves the skin feeling “soft and bouncy.” Most described it as “almost fragrance-free,” with little to no noticeable raw material scent. This makes it suitable for people who are sensitive to fragrance.Low stickiness is another advantage. Compared with other products that showed heavy residue in testing, this emulsion left minimal tackiness. These results help counter online claims that it feels overly sticky. The bottle features a convenient one-touch cap, allowing you to dispense the product quickly and use it easily, even during busy mornings.Expert ingredient analysis also gave it high marks. As a medicated formula containing active ingredients that help prevent skin irritation, it includes well-balanced skin-conditioning components. Unlike some products tested that contained potentially irritating ingredients for sensitive skin, none were identified here. Its formulation supports smoother texture while helping prevent dryness and roughness, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.As a Japanese brand whitening emulsion priced at around ¥800 on Lazada and Shopee, it is one of the more affordable options in its category. It also contains active brightening ingredients that help promote a clearer, more radiant-looking complexion.Recommended For:Those aiming for smooth, healthy-looking skinPeople who prefer a moisturizing, cushioned finishAnyone looking for a non-sticky whitening moisturizerNot Recommended For:Those who prefer fragranced skincarePeople who want a very light, refreshing texture
Perfect Whip Cleanser

Perfect Whip Cleanser

Senka

Foaming Cleansers

|

₱280

Senka Perfect Whip is a great match for those with oily skin who want to thoroughly remove excess sebum and dirt. In our cleansing test using a lard-soaked oil-absorption sheet, it removed 212.21 mg of lard, exceeding the overall average of 165.6 mg across all tested products. This indicates that you can expect strong cleansing performance.Lathering power is another highlight. When we used the recommended amount and lathered it 100 times with a foaming net, it produced the equivalent of 3.41 20 mL-disposable cups' worth of foam. Some comparable cleansers created only around two cups, so this facial wash clearly delivers generous, dense beauty foam. The bubbles feel thick and cushiony, and they don’t easily collapse while you’re washing.After rinsing, there was a slight tight feeling, but the overall finish was clean and refreshing. The foam rinsed off easily, and many testers reported “little to no slimy residue” and that it “washed off cleanly,” leaving the skin feeling fresh.It also has a light, refreshing soap-like scent. The fragrance is noticeable but not overpowering, and 6 out of 9 testers said they did not find it unpleasant. In terms of skin-friendliness, it received high marks. Based on the ingredient list, no components commonly associated with irritation were identified, making it relatively easy to use even for those with sensitive or delicate skin.At an online price under ₱300, it’s worth a try as a reliable cleanser. While it offers strong cleansing power and rich, fluffy foam for a refreshing wash, it still left some reviewers' skin feeling tight. If your skin tends to feel dry after cleansing, you may want to explore other options as well.Recommended For:Those who prefer a fresh, squeaky-clean finishThose who want to thoroughly remove excess oil and impuritiesThose who enjoy washing with thick, cushiony foamNot Recommended For:Those whose skin easily feels tight after cleansingThose with dry skin
Vitamin Enriched Face Base

Vitamin Enriched Face Base

Bobbi Brown

Primers for Dry Skin

|

₱1,500

The Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is a great choice for those who struggle with dryness, tightness, and makeup breakdown throughout the day. In our test, 13 testers applied the product and wore it for six hours. Very few reported tightness or flaking. While some of the compared products began to feel dry over time, this one maintained a comfortable, hydrated feel.Although the texture feels rich in the jar, it melts smoothly into the skin upon application. It has a noticeable fresh citrus scent. When applied, it created a natural, healthy-looking glow without appearing overly shiny. testers described the finish as radiant but not greasy. If certain areas become too shiny, lightly blotting with a tissue can help control excess shine.After reviewing the formula, we found that it is primarily oil-based. Ingredients such as Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 and Shea Butter help prevent moisture loss by forming a protective barrier on the skin. While it also contains water-soluble moisturizing ingredients, the amount appears moderate. For best results, apply toner and lotion first to properly hydrate the skin before using this product.One thing to note is that the coverage is limited. What we mean is that it will not address major skin blemishes. Some testers commented that uneven skin tone and visible pores were still somewhat noticeable after application. This product is better suited for those with minimal skin concerns. If you have dark spots or prominent pores, using a concealer should help provide more coverage.The price is around ₱4,250 for 50 mL (based on the official store). It’s a good match for people with dry skin who want a naturally glowing finish that looks like healthy, well-prepped skin. However, it comes in a glass jar, which is not the most travel-friendly option. Some comparable products come in tube packaging that may be more convenient, so it’s worth considering your preference.Recommended For:Those who want a natural, healthy-looking glowThose who want to prevent dry, flaky, or cracked makeupThose looking for a moisturizing base that feels comfortable and not tightNot Recommended For:Those concerned about dark spots or highly visible poresThose sensitive to citrus fragrances

In testing, it removed up to 199.54 mg of oil, showing strong cleansing performance. Compared to some products that removed only around 100 mg, it stands out for its ability to wash away excess sebum and dirt. This makes it especially suitable for teens, young adults, and those with oily skin.Another highlight is how well it lathers. It creates a thick, cushiony foam that lets you wash your face gently without too much friction. Unlike some cleansers where the foam quickly breaks down, this one stays dense and stable during use.

Deep Moist Shampoo 1.0

₱949

&honey Deep Moist Shampoo is a good choice for people who don’t want to spend too much time shampooing. In actual use, most testers were able to create lather quickly. While some of the compared shampoos were difficult to foam up with a small amount, this one made it easy to produce plenty of bubbles, helping cut down wash time. The rich, fluffy lather made it easy to wash while cushioning the hair, which may appeal to those concerned about friction damage.Its cleansing performance also earned high marks. We used lard to simulate the scalp's sebum, and when mixed with, it removed 188.03 mg of the lard. This exceeds 180 mg, which is considered a benchmark for the amount of oil produced by oily skin, and is in line with many of the shampoos we tested. &honey's shampoo should help remove excess sebum, styling products, and other buildup, and may reduce greasiness on the scalp and hair.The floral scent was rated positively by our testers, with comments such as “smells very nice” and “great for everyday use.” While some of the compared products had fresher, more refreshing scents, this one suits people who prefer a sweet, elegant floral fragrance. More than half of the testers said post-wash squeakiness was “not noticeable,” and none reported the dryness mentioned in some online reviews.Another strong point is its ingredient lineup. After reviewing the ingredient list, we found that it contains a good range of repair ingredients. Both keratin-based and non-keratin protein components are included, which can help support the repair of damaged hair. This makes it a reassuring option for those focused on caring for hair damage.That said, it contains lauramidopropyl betaine as a cleansing agent and menthol as a cooling ingredient, both of which may cause irritation for people with sensitive skin. If you have a sensitive scalp and want something especially gentle, you may want to consider other options.Recommended For:People who want to wash hair and scalp gently with rich, fluffy latherThose who want to thoroughly remove excess sebum and styling product buildupAnyone who likes sweet, floral scentsNot Recommended For:People with sensitive skin

₱392

Rom&nd Zero Matte Lipstick No. 05 Evening is a great choice for anyone looking for an orange-brown lipstick that applies beautifully, even without advanced makeup skills.With just one swipe, it creates soft, blurred lips with a modern, on-trend look. The slim tip makes it easy to define the edges and apply color precisely, while the matte formula glides on smoothly without dragging. Despite its matte finish, it feels comfortable on the lips and is easy to work with, earning it high marks in our testing.Color payoff is another strong point. The calm, sunset-inspired shade looks true to color once applied and adds a natural flush that gives the lips a healthy, polished appearance. The finish has a subtle moisture to it, helping reduce the look of vertical lip lines.It also performed well in terms of staying power. During testing, pressing a tissue against the lips twice after application caused minimal color transfer. Thanks to its strong hold, it feels reliable even when wearing a face mask, making it a practical option for everyday use.

₱910

The Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Mask feels pleasant to use, provided you’re comfortable with moderate moisturizing power. When tested on monitors’ arms, skin moisture levels increased by an average of 10.97 points two hours after application. Some other products we tested showed increases of 30 points or more, so those with very dry skin may want to use other products to address moisturization.An ingredient review shows the formula contains vitamins as skin-conditioning ingredients, which may help improve skin texture. Overall, it’s best suited for people in their 20s to 30s with minimal skin concerns. However, it also includes ingredients such as plant extracts and preservatives that may irritate sensitive skin.A major strength is the sheet’s excellent adherence. As many online reviews note, it’s generously soaked with essence and stays in place without drying out. Testers also found the size just right. The soft sheet material feels gentle on the skin, with no prickly sensation, making it comfortable to wear.After use, testers' skin felt moisturized and slightly plump. Unlike some masks that leave a sticky finish, this one absorbs well after a few minutes and is easy to use even in the morning. The scent is almost nonexistent. While it doesn’t offer a fragrance experience, it also won’t interfere with other scented products.Overall, this mask is a comfortable option for people with normal skin who aren’t concerned about dryness. Individual packaging makes it convenient for travel. That said, if deep hydration is your top priority, it’s worth looking at other products as well.Recommended ForPeople with normal skin who are not particularly concerned about skin irritationNot Recommended ForPeople with very dry or sensitive skinPeople who prefer very lightweight, refreshing skincare textures

The bubbles feel thick and cushiony, and they don’t easily collapse while you’re washing.After rinsing, there was a slight tight feeling, but the overall finish was clean and refreshing. The foam rinsed off easily, and many testers reported “little to no slimy residue” and that it “washed off cleanly,” leaving the skin feeling fresh.It also has a light, refreshing soap-like scent. The fragrance is noticeable but not overpowering, and 6 out of 9 testers said they did not find it unpleasant. In terms of skin-friendliness, it received high marks. Based on the ingredient list, no components commonly associated with irritation were identified, making it relatively easy to use even for those with sensitive or delicate skin.At an online price under ₱300, it’s worth a try as a reliable cleanser. While it offers strong cleansing power and rich, fluffy foam for a refreshing wash, it still left some reviewers' skin feeling tight. If your skin tends to feel dry after cleansing, you may want to explore other options as well.Recommended For:Those who prefer a fresh, squeaky-clean finishThose who want to thoroughly remove excess oil and impuritiesThose who enjoy washing with thick, cushiony foamNot Recommended For:Those whose skin easily feels tight after cleansingThose with dry skin

Highlighter

₱420

The Cezanne Pearl Glow Highlighter 01 Champagne Beige is ideal for those who prefer a bold, luminous glow rather than a subtle sheen. This affordable Japanese highlighter works especially well for events, parties, or full-glam makeup looks where you want your highlight to stand out.It contains large, highly reflective shimmer particles that create a bright, dimensional finish. The glow is noticeable and defined. If your goal is to enhance facial structure and achieve a radiant, sculpted look, this shade performs well. It is also relatively resistant to sweat and friction, making it a practical option in warm, humid conditions.One drawback is the included brush. It is small and slightly difficult to maneuver, and the product does not adhere as seamlessly as expected. Some powder fallout and slight white cast may occur depending on application and skin tone. The built-in brush is convenient for quick touch-ups, but for a smoother, more even application, a separate highlighter brush is recommended.As of writing, the price is around ₱420 on Lazada and Shopee, making it a fairly budget-friendly highlighter. Given its strong glow and affordable price point, it’s an easy option to try if you’re looking for a radiant Japanese highlighter without spending a fortune.

Tinted Sunscreens

₱699

As a lightweight, glowy everyday base, Sola is genuinely good. As a sunscreen is where the 3-in-1 promise gets shaky, and for a surprising reason: a little already gives real coverage, so you naturally use a thin layer, and a thin layer is not enough to trust as your only SPF.The good: blends with bare fingers, feels lightweight, has a light-to-medium coverage that hides redness and dark spots, and the shade matched after settling with no oxidation.The catch: by the 4-hour mark, the T-zone and sides of the nose start to shine, so you'll need to blot.Our honest opinion:Get it if you want an easy, glowy everyday base, and you do not mind blotting. Skip it if you need full coverage, matte oil control, or a sunscreen you can fully rely on.

₱1,030

d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum is a good choice for those who value fragrance in their skincare. Testers rated the scent highly, with comments such as “the sweet fragrance lifts my mood.” It has a calm, jasmine-like freshness and feels more subtle than products with a sharp or overpowering scent.Beyond fragrance, its moisturizing performance is strong. Two hours after application on the arm, moisture levels increased by an average of 72.64%. Some compared products showed an average increase of only 29.4%, making this mist suitable for people concerned about dryness.When used over makeup, most testers found that it didn’t noticeably cause makeup to break down. One comment noted that “even after spraying, the eyeshadow and eyelashes didn’t smudge.” The compact size (3.5 cm wide × 15 cm tall) and light weight of 147 g also make it easy to carry for touch-ups on the go.In addition, when beads were pressed onto artificial skin after application, 13 out of 20 adhered, suggesting noticeable stickiness. This may not suit those looking for a mist with very little stickiness. If this doesn’t bother you, this product stands out for its fragrance and high moisturizing power and is worth considering.

Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence Serum is a good option for those who want an easy way to prevent acne and skin irritation as part of their daily skincare routine. It contains two types of vitamin-based active ingredients, along with additional actives designed to help protect the skin from irritation.While working to prevent acne and skin trouble, it also targets skin texture and brightening. Overall, the balance of ingredients is impressive.

When we measured skin moisture levels using a corneometer, hydration increased by an average of 74.2% two hours after application. This formula helps lock in moisture, making it suitable even during dry seasons.However, there are some potential drawbacks. Some reviewers said it had an oily, slippery feeling and scent that may not appeal to everyone. On the positive side, testers liked the packaging, which they said made application convenient. If you’re looking for a serum you can easily apply in small amounts, this one is worth considering.
