I usually use the 7-skin method with watery toners, and this product works well for that too, as the texture is almost like water. I apply it 3 times, and even with repeated application, the product doesn't get used up quickly. After absorption, my skin is left with a smooth and moisturized feel.
ConsWe all know that Clinique does not use fragrance, but this product has a rather distinctive scent. It's not overpowering, but there's a hint of plastic, urban, and slightly stale odor. If you're sensitive to fragrances, this might not be the best option for you, as it's not truly fragrance-free, despite being labeled as such.
TipI also tried the moisturizer from the same line, but I found the hydrating properties to be somewhat lacking. This serum seems to be great for replenishing moisture, but it doesn't seem to be effective for managing dead skin cells. Before using this product, I recommend using an exfoliating toner first, and then applying this serum in multiple layers. This should work well during the summer, but for the winter, I've been layering the Skinfood Watery Berry Cream over this serum, as it provides more hydration and better long-lasting effects. I find that it stays on my skin even the next day after application. I suggest using an exfoliating toner before applying this serum for the best results. I personally use the COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad.
