My face doesn't feel dry at all - it's my winter secret weapon! I have sensitive eyes and usually get irritated when using oils, but this product doesn't cause any eye discomfort. Before makeup, I gently press a small amount onto my cheeks, chin, and forehead with my palms. It prevents my makeup from looking patchy and gives my skin a subtle glow.
ConsI was really satisfied using this product, so there's not much I found disappointing. However, the price is quite high for the amount you get.

The serum has an oil-based formula. Some oil-based products can feel heavy and overly shiny when applied, but the Marula C Serum leaves my skin looking radiant and glowing. It applies lightly and absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. Plus, it's made with 100% marula ingredients, so it's great for sensitive skin as well.
ConsThe fragrance may be divisive - it has a distinct passionfruit scent. Since it's made with 100% marula, the passionfruit aroma is quite pronounced. Personally, I enjoy the passionfruit fragrance, but I can see how it may not be everyone's preference.
TipI purchased a miniature size to test it out first, and I'm glad I did because I ended up really liking it. I'll likely purchase the full-size product now. When applying BB cream, adding a drop of the Marula C Serum makes it apply even more moisturizing and dewy.

It's great to use when my face looks dull. It doesn't make my face shine like a mirror, but rather gives a subtle glow, and my makeup seems to apply really well, so I really like it! And I love the dropper-type packaging, it's perfect for me~
ConsI didn't have any trouble or breakouts while using it! Everything's great, but the scent... When I first received it and applied it to my face, I was really surprised...;;; I don't know how to describe this scent;;; The scent was a bit... disappointing ㅠ_ㅠ And the price is a bit high.. Other than that, I would definitely buy it again~~
TipIf you apply it generously before bed and sleep in it, your face will look so much brighter the next day~~

The absorption power is really good. Since I have dry skin, I need to apply it twice and then put on the cream. For most people, applying it once should be enough. 2. It has a nice glow. The subtle, beautiful glow is so nice.
Cons1. The scent is not great. As soon as I put it on my face, the strong scent hits me. It's like a strange, rotten fruit smell... Since I'm sensitive to fragrances, I didn't reach for it much. 2. For my dry skin, it wasn't moisturizing enough. It felt a bit more oily.

I received the product and have been using it for a week. I received 3 test samples of 5ml each. The test samples came with a dropper, which was very convenient. The oil is not heavy and applies nicely, leaving a refreshing feel. After application, there is a nice subtle glow. Lastly, instead of layering multiple skincare products, I found that using the Pimonche serum twice a week is sufficient, without any tightness in the skin.
ConsWhen I started applying it, I felt it might interfere with my foundation application, leaving an oily feeling. While it may work for those with dry skin, for those with oily or combination skin, using an oil mist instead of the oil might be better. The product applies smoothly, but my cheeks felt slightly irritated. It also takes a long time to absorb, leaving an oily residue on the face. I also noticed that many people are sensitive to the scent. I initially thought the scent was subtle when applying with one hand, but when I used both hands, the citrus scent became quite strong and then faded quickly. For those not sensitive to scents, it should not be an issue.
TipFor those with dry skin, mixing a small amount of the oil into your foundation can help prevent dryness when going out in the winter.

Since it's an oil type, it has great moisturizing power and gives a healthy glow to the skin. I can immediately feel my skin tone becoming brighter and my skin texture becoming soft and smooth!! In the summer, oily skin types may find it a bit difficult to use, but it will be great for dry skin types.
ConsOne slightly disappointing aspect is the scent. I expected a refreshing fragrance since it's a yellow product, but it has a slightly musty? smell. It's a scent I've never encountered before, and I find myself going 'Huh?' every time I use it. But I think it's the natural fragrance of the passionfruit, so I'm getting used to it as I continue using it.
TipIt seems great for massaging while rolling it on!!!

Portability! First of all, it was stored in a 5ml container, so it was good for hygiene, and it was in a dropper format, so it was convenient and good. It was the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand and fit perfectly in a pouch. ✌🏻Spreadability, Oiliness As it is an oily product, the spreadability was good! After applying, it had an oily glow, and even when applied before a cushion or foundation, it did not dry out and had a moisturizing effect.
Cons😥Scent It smelled like flowers at first, but then it had a disgusting cooking oil smell! The scent went away over time, but I think it would be difficult for those sensitive to scents to use. 😥Absorption After applying, it didn't absorb very well, and I don't think I could go out just by applying it alone. 😥Pimples My skin type tends to change depending on the weather, and it changed from combination to dry, and it seems the oil-moisture balance was disrupted, and pimples appeared on my cheeks!
TipI used it anytime before makeup! I did my basic skincare routine in the order of skin-serum-lotion or cream, so my makeup applied well. ㅎㅎ

The packaging is nice, and the container is especially too cute, so I took a lot of photos. Since it was the first time using the product, I used it cautiously, adjusting the amount. As I have combination skin with dehydration, I used it mainly in the evening rather than in the morning. Using it in the evening gave a nice, glowy feeling, and it felt like my skin was plump, which was good. After using it, my skin texture seemed to improve the next day, becoming smoother and softer, so I only used it in the evening.
ConsThe scent is a bit unpleasant, so it might be very unpleasant for people who are sensitive to fragrances. Also, using it in the morning doesn't seem to work well. I like to have a dewy makeup look, but the product didn't work well with my other products, and I felt like my makeup was lifting off my face. Additionally, you need to be careful with the amount, as using too much can make your face look oily rather than glowy!
TipUsing it in the evening is better, and gently patting it in to let it absorb fully gives a nice, plump feeling to the skin. Especially for me, I found it worked well to dispense a suitable amount on my palm, gently rub it between my hands to warm it up, and then massage it into my face with a cooling stick, as if giving a facial massage!

First, I'm glad that you provided 3 samples of the 5ml product so I could use it generously. And since I have combination skin, my T-zone was dry, but when I used the Marula C Serum, it made my skin feel really moisturized. However, if you apply too much, it can feel a bit oily, so I recommend using a small amount or suggesting it to those with dry skin! If you use the appropriate amount before makeup, it will give you a dewy, glowing complexion!
ConsThe scent is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of smell, with a slight tropical fruit aroma, which I didn't particularly enjoy. However, the scent does disappear over time, so it wasn't a major concern.
TipIf you use it before makeup, you can achieve a dewy, glowing complexion!

My skin type is oily in the summer and dry in the winter. First of all, the product has a slightly viscous and slowly flowing texture. And when you apply it, it becomes very glossy. Please keep this in mind. Spreadability ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The spreadability is not too thick, so it spreads well. Oiliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The oiliness is a bit more than expected. I usually don't like to apply skin lotion, but with this product alone, the moisture is sufficient. However, when I tested it with blotting paper, a lot of oil came out, which surprised me. Absorption ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The absorption is also good, with a feeling of the product adhering to the skin. However, when first applied, there is a slightly oily feeling on the surface, and you need to wait a little for it to be absorbed. Moisture ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The moisture is not something to worry about. It doesn't feel as moist as a regular toner, but more like an oil or ampoule that gets absorbed, so it feels more moisturizing.
ConsThe fragrance was a bit disappointing. It's a fragrance that will likely divide opinions, and personally, I didn't like it as it smelled like rotten passion fruit. And this product has a lot of oiliness, so it felt like applying cleansing oil when I put it on.If you don't like an oily texture, I don't recommend this.
TipIf you lightly blot the product with blotting paper after applying, the moisture lasts longer and it has a nice, moderate glow. I would not recommend this for oily skin, but for dry skin that likes oil, I would recommend it.
