I don't like this serum :( This retails for SGD$59.90 for a 45ml bottle. As stated on the website, 'An intensive moisturizing treatment with both anti-wrinkle and whitening functions, it smoothens dry and rough skin with 100% active ingredients. Its Agave and Cactus extracts refreshes the skin with non-sticky feeling.'. This is a clear, viscous, pale yellow serum. After toner, I applied this to my face and pat it on my skin. I really wanted to like this serum as I liked Skinfood's philosophy of using food to maintain inner and outer beauty. However this serum falls short of my expectations. It was very thick and sticky for a serum, which was difficult to spread on my skin and be absorbed. I had to keep lightly patting my face and I eventually gave up. I don't feel the need to apply moisturizer after this as the serum was so thick. This serum was marketed for its anti-wrinkles and whitening properties, which I think was for mature skin. I don't have any wrinkles so I can't say much about that aspect, but my face did look slightly brightened. However, I had been taking care of my skin lately, and coupled with a good diet, it probably contributed to the glowly feel of my skin. This was packaged in a sturdy opaque white and green bottle with a hole at the top of the bottle which controlled the amount being poured out. However, I can't gauge the amount which was left. I will not recommend this serum to anybody as I feel that a good moisturizer can do a better job of brightening and moisturizing, and I will not repurchase this product :)
