Packaging :

Since this came as a part of a PR package, I got it in a strong, hard cardboard packaging. Careful packaging while transportation stems from the fact that the bottle is a glass bottle; which brings me to it’s major drawback, it’s need to be handled with care. The bottle will break if it slips from hand or if not kept in a secure place. The bottle is quite heavy too. It is transparent with a screw cap which has a metallic sheen. The bottle doesn’t contain any kind of dispenser, so we have to directly pour the material onto our palms.

My Thoughts :

Well, to be very honest, I had so much expectations & hope from this product, also because of the ingredients. But trust me, it does NOTHING for your skin. Nothing.

It has a watery texture and a lot of added fragrance to it. I can’t handle very strong fragrances, so every time I applied this on my face I literally choke on the smell. It almost feels like water with lots of fragrance. That’s it.

I am using it on my legs and hands just to complete it.
