I used it once a week and within two months, I saw many benefits - my bumpy skin had started to smooth significantly, my acne scars had began to fade but most importantly, my dry skin LOVED THIS. After every use, my skin felt so hydrated and soft. I’m quite young so signs of aging was not a target for me, yet I did have an apparent smile line near my lips. It hasn’t gone, but it is less visible. I also loved the use of hydrators in this serum as it just makes it perfect for dry and dehydrated skin. The smell of this product is quite minimal, and the colour is beautiful (a reminder that the colours not the same amongst all bathes as the fruit extract varies in colour through seasons). It absorbs really quickly, and only leaves a little bit of a sticky residue - this is bearable compared to many other products from the ordinary.
