Pharmacist's Verdict
This is a highly effective and incredibly affordable hydrating serum that's a great addition to almost any skincare routine, but it must be used correctly on damp skin to work properly.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent surface hydration, making skin look and feel plump and smooth.
- Extremely budget-friendly, offering great value for the price.
- Simple, fragrance-free formula is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
- Features multiple forms of hyaluronic acid to hydrate different layers of the skin.
Cons
- Can feel sticky or tacky on the skin, especially if too much is applied.
- Must be applied to damp skin and followed by a moisturizer to be effective; otherwise, it can dry out the skin.
- It's a hydrator, not a complete moisturizer, so it won't be enough on its own for dry skin types.
- While it plumps fine lines, it won't permanently erase deeper wrinkles as sometimes hyped.
