I bought this to use alongside the Rose Quartz Supreme Probiotic Rich Cream. They go very well together but now I have run out of the serum I can tell the difference. The serum is creamy and takes a bit of massaging into the skin. However I found the ritual of doing this quite pleasant in the end. It did seem to fortify my skin and now that I have none left my skin feels drier and less plump. What I also really liked was that it reduced the appearance of pores and wrinkles. The only downside is that the bottle doesn't seem to last very long making it quite expensive. I did find however that a whole pump was way too much and that I could get away with using only half each time. The serum and cream together sink in well without leaving a greasy layer so SPF or makeup on top would be fine. I prefer this serum to the Hydra Miracle Serum. If you have mature skin it puts back what you need to have younger looking skin.
