It's a bit too rich for my skin; it's more of a cream than a serum texture in my opinion. I can't wear it underneath the Dynamic Defence, even in the coldest days of winter, without my dry skin feeling and looking oily by midday. I've been using it as a night treatment on its own instead, which has worked well. It moisturises well, and my skin looks and feels okay when I wake up - I'm not amazed, but it generally looks pretty good while using this. I don't experience any clogged pores, unless I apply it directly to my chin. The active ingredients are good: vitamins A and C, and various peptides to help smooth fine lines and promote collagen repair.
Like the Dynamic Defence, this has a jasmine/monoi scent. I don't dislike it personally, although it isn't a selling point to me, but it's worth knowing if you find it hard to tolerate scented products.
My biggest problem with this for me is it's shimmery. I dislike shimmery moisturisers - they don't make your skin look magically radiant, they make it look shimmery. It's not that big a deal, because I only use it at night, but I can find products that perform a similar function adequately for me that aren't shimmery.
In summary, I think this particular product is best suited for very dry skin if you do want to use it underneath a moisturiser, and avoid if you don't like shimmery or scented face products. I'll use it up, but I won't repurchase like I have the Eye Repair and Dynamic Defence.
