  Pros

  I loved how well it absorbs into the skin. It wasn't irritating, and the fact that it didn't cause any blemishes or acne was a big plus. True to Antipodes' reputation, it has an incredibly pleasant scent. Using this product gives your skin a luminous glow. If you want to achieve that glazed donut look on bare skin or before makeup, this is worth trying. The product contains Kakadu plum, which is rich in Vitamin C. When I inquired about the exact percentage of vitamin content on their official website, they couldn't provide that information... LOL. While this product is much more affordable overseas, it seems quite pricey in Korea due to import costs. I'd recommend this to vegans as it's certified vegan and cruelty-free, meeting strict standards.

  Cons

  For those with dry skin, it might fall short in terms of hydration and moisture. Most importantly, the serum contains mica, which gives it a pearlescent effect. If you're not a fan of golden shimmer in your serum, you might want to skip this one. I only use this product during the day and avoid it at night to prevent the shimmer from transferring everywhere. The value for money is... well... But at least it wasn't irritating. If you're considering purchasing, it's extremely overpriced in Korea. It would be wise to buy it during sales when traveling to Australia or New Zealand, or ask a friend there to get it for you.

  Tip

  When this product first launched, they heavily advertised its ability to give skin a glow. That glow comes more from the mica and golden shimmer in the serum rather than its skincare benefits. You might think the golden shimmer would create a warm effect, but it actually suits all skin tones when applied. The glow isn't overwhelming, making it suitable for daily use. Remember to always follow up with sunscreen when using this product in the morning!
