What owners single out
In their words
“Best hyaluronic acid serum in an affordable price range! I used an Obagi Hydro-drops for years and while I loved it.. The smell and the price were huge downsides. I also lost a lot of product due to the packaging. I got my first bottle of FAB Hydrating Serum in a subscription box. It feels so luxe like my old drops without the high price and scent. I love the pump vs a dropper or squeeze bottle.”

“I’ve been a faithful user of this product (and all first aid beauty products) for years. When the new bottle came, it’s not 1 oz as opposed to 1.7 oz, despite being advertised as 1.7 oz. The significant size change gives me the ick, there is no integrity with FAB”
