I bought it along with the 20% Vitamin F. Rather than expecting miraculous results, I figure it's better than using nothing at all. I've heard this ingredient is considered the best alternative to retinol. The texture is a transparent blue, slightly thicker than a runny nose. It instantly feels moisturizing on the skin and absorbs quickly with a nice, bouncy feel. Depending on your skin type, those with combination-dry skin might find it drying after application in spring and summer without additional products. Update after 2 weeks of use - I'm upgrading my rating from 4 to 5 stars. It provides instant hydration, improves skin texture (making it firmer, smoother, and more supple, and significantly delays the onset of dehydration when wearing makeup), and is gentle on the skin. It's the most essence-like product I've ever used, and I love it. I reach for it more often than the oil-based Vitamin F. When I massage it into my face, it instantly provides a hydration boost equivalent to about 5 layers of toner. It absorbs quickly, forming a protective layer. When it starts to feel dry, I apply a moisturizer on top. The hydration gives a nice cooling effect in summer, which is great. It seems like a well-made product. The Vitamin F, on the other hand, seems to make my face more sensitive (and caused dry eyes), so I've stopped using it daily. I now use it once a week on my face and apply it to my body for 5-6 days consistently. Interestingly, I find the Buffet more effective when used intermittently rather than daily.
Cons- It pills slightly under makeup, so I wouldn't recommend using it before applying cosmetics. - While the texture is much better than the oil-based Vitamin F, it seems to just provide hydration. However, one of its key features is that it's rumored to have 'actual' effects on wrinkle improvement, so I plan to continue using it for daily care. - The scent was a bit off-putting at first, but now I've gotten so used to it that I barely notice it. After reading other reviews, I remembered, 'Oh right, the smell was a bit strange.'

With its various peptide ingredients and the addition of copper, it helps strengthen the skin without making it overly sensitive to irritation. I didn't use this product alone, but rather in combination with Matrixyl, so I couldn't pinpoint the individual effects. However, based on the product description provided by The Ordinary and the improvement I've seen in my skin, I believe this product helps fortify the skin and make it healthier. I have a very sensitive skin that easily gets red and inflamed, and I've tried all sorts of highly-rated and supposedly high-quality products, but they would still cause breakouts. Of course, this product alone didn't completely fix my skin! But it did help my skin become healthier during the improvement process, rather than making it more sensitive and weaker. I found this brand while searching for something that could address the specific needs of my problematic skin, and I've been generally satisfied with the product quality, so I plan to continue using this product.
ConsThe smell, as everyone has mentioned, haha. But it's not as unbearable once you get used to it! I'm sensitive to scents, so I generally avoid strong fragrances or artificial ones. This one isn't my favorite, but it's tolerable and I've gotten used to it... Also, when your skin is in poor condition and you have trouble absorbing it, it can pill up! You'll see blue-ish pilling when that happens. In that case, it's best to apply it only at night and use something else during the day. I'm not sure if it's good for long-term use. I've been using it for around 3-4 years, maybe 5 years? Sometimes I get lazy and stop when my skin is doing well, but then I realize I need to go back to it when my skin condition worsens. This product is a keeper!
TipEnsuring proper absorption is key!! I try to use a galvanic device to help with absorption, but to be honest, I often skip that step because it's a bit of a hassle. But it does make a difference! However, for sensitive skin, the galvanic method could be too irritating, so it's important to use this product according to your own skin's needs.

The neat packaging. The easy-to-understand ingredients. It absorbs well. I didn't find it irritating, and it tingled a bit, but it was fine.
ConsThe watery texture, the watery smell... The makeup smears. And I still don't know what kind of effect it has.

I've been using it for about half a bottle, and people around me have said that it has made a difference.
ConsYou need to make sure it absorbs well, and the Deodinary products in general tend to feel heavy when applying makeup.
TipIf the buffet suits you, then you might as well use this product!
