What has my experience with the product been like?
Do you folks want to laugh? This whole time, given the packaging that I got it in, I thought this was a serum but when I went to go look it up I realized that this is the stuff they sell in a spray bottle - the Skin Booster - is actually the serum in the line. That said, I've been using this as a serum and it worked great - it gives my skin a nice light hydration and, because it's meant to be layered under other products, my moisturizer goes on great over this. It makes my skin feel really smooth and soft, which I like and overall it's a great product. That said, the price point is ridiculously high for what it is and given that all it does is make my skin feel soft and smooth (because I can't really see what it's doing to prevent pollution damage), I could find products that do the same thing at a much lower price point.
