While not great for the environment, they're unbreakable and perfect for on-the-go! The serum is yellow with a viscous texture that doesn't drip, absorbs well, and leaves a non-sticky, firm finish. It truly feels like a firming serum! It's slightly rich, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin. I used it well when I had dry skin, but now that I have combination dehydrated skin, I avoid it. My mom loves it though! I'm satisfied that it's free from harmful ingredients and doesn't contain dimethicone, a silicone ingredient I dislike. It's not ideal for teenagers, but would make a great gift for moms. For teens to mid-twenties, focus on hydration rather than firming products!
ConsI don't have any complaints, but those who don't tolerate tea tree oil should avoid this product!

My mom and I are each using one thanks to the buy-one-get-one-free deal. My mom had to see a dermatologist due to side effects from her previous firming ampoule, but this one with the same idebenone ingredient works wonderfully without any adverse reactions. The absorbs well is great, and while the texture isn't runny, it doesn't drip. It's nice that it stays put, though it does take a little time to absorb fully.
ConsThere's honestly nothing to complain about! The volume is generous, and I appreciate that the scent isn't overpowering.
TipApply this as the final step in your skincare routine and give it some time to absorb. Your skin will feel firm and amazing for hours!

(I'll add photos later.) First, let me describe my skin type: I have deep dryness, which ironically causes oiliness in my T-zone, and I get blemishes mainly on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. I mostly get small bumps rather than inflamed acne, and I'm concerned about whiteheads in my butterfly zone, chin, and between my eyebrows. I used this product only in the evening routine! 1. Absorbs well At first, I thought the thick consistency might absorb slowly, but it actually has great absorption and spreads easily. While it's not the lightest serum, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin, which I appreciate. 2. Hydrating Although this serum promotes firmness, I'd give it higher marks for hydration. Of course, when skin is well-hydrated, it naturally becomes more elastic! The serum doesn't necessarily flood your skin with moisture, but it provides adequate hydration and seems to create a protective layer that locks in moisture, making the hydration last longer. 3. Doesn't cause blemishes (especially small bumps) I often get blemishes from products that form a film on the skin, but this one didn't cause any issues despite its texture. I've been using it consistently, and while I did get one slightly hard, inflamed pimple on my chin, that's rare for me and usually happens when I'm not feeling well. Typically, if a product doesn't agree with my skin, I get small bumps, but I didn't experience that with this serum. However, if inflamed acne is your main concern, you might want to keep this in mind when considering a purchase.
Cons1. Stiff dropper As mentioned in many reviews, the dropper is quite stiff, making it difficult to dispense the product, especially given its thick consistency. 2. Didn't notice anti-wrinkle effects I have fine horizontal lines on my forehead, and as I approach my 30s, I'm starting to pay attention to neck wrinkles too. I always apply this product up to my neck, but I haven't seen significant improvements in my forehead lines yet. It might be because I haven't been using it for very long! Since this product doesn't cause any issues for my skin, I plan to continue using it. I'll update this review if I notice any effects on my wrinkles in the future.
TipThis isn't exactly a pro tip, but I use The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid (AHA) 7% Toning Solution for exfoliation. While I'm not sure about compatibility with other AHA products, I've heard that the acidic nature of AHAs can hydrolyze peptides. So on days when I use my exfoliating product, I either skip this serum or use a different one! If you're using any AHA products, it might be worth checking if there are any ingredient conflicts.

However, this product's scent isn't overpowering. It has a subtle, pleasant aroma reminiscent of vitamin powder dissolving in water. ❤Texture The consistency is thinner than water but doesn't drip. When applied, it feels like it's firmly gripping the skin. As it's a firming ampoule, it moisturizes and prevents deep dryness while leaving the skin's surface feeling taut and supple.
Cons👎Dropper I received this as part of a buy-one-get-one-free deal, but the amount in each bottle seems insufficient. The product doesn't fill the container completely, making it frustrating to draw up with the dropper. You have to tilt the bottle slightly and really pull on the dropper to get the product out. It's incredibly inconvenient that even with a new product, it's difficult to dispense from the start. 👎Price To be honest, the effects don't seem significant enough to justify the price. While it's a decent price for a firming ampoule when purchased as part of a buy-one-get-one deal, it's somewhat disappointing when bought at full price.
TipFor best results, use a toner to prep your skin in the morning, then finish with this ampoule. Your makeup will apply more smoothly. Just make sure to pat the ampoule into your skin gently with your hands and allow it to absorb fully before applying makeup to prevent pilling.

It absorbs well and feels great on the skin. The hydration level seems perfect for the current weather. I appreciate that it's gentle with no unnecessary ingredients. As for its wrinkle-improving properties, I'll need to use it for at least a month to see results.
ConsThe dropper feels a bit stiff, and it doesn't dispense much product at a time.
