This has a clean, fresh, slightly citrusy scent.
What has my experience with the product been like?
I really like the way this feels refreshing going on and its texture is lovely. It smells nice too without being heavy and makes my skin bright while feeling refreshing and hydrating. Despite its price point I actually would consider investing in this and the reason being that this also contains hyaluronic acid so technically it's like having a hyaluronic and Vitamin C serum in one.
