What owners single out
The pump system's leaking problem that buyers flagged aligns with the packaging concerns video reviewers raised.
In their words
“Lightweight yet powerful, this serum absorbs quickly and layers beautifully under makeup. The texture is smooth, never sticky, and it leaves my skin feeling firmer, hydrated, and visibly more radiant. With consistent use, my complexion looks healthier and more refreshed. Perfect for an effortless daily routine with real, noticeable results. ✨”

“I like the feel of the product however there's one major problem with the packaging. The pump system leaks the product in between uses. It's a closed system so you can't open it up to see where the leak is or tighten anything. Considering the cost of the serum it's very disappointing.”
