SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Gel 30 ml

I've been using this product for 2 weeks but I don't really see a clear difference yet. Perhaps that needs more time. The protective effect of the sun is also still difficult to test in this bad summer weather:) The formula is thin and easy to spread, so you don't need much. The product is a bit pricey but I think it will take you a long time. It has a bit of an odd smell that I would describe as medicinal soy sauce. No worries, it is not very strong and it also disappears quickly. Often a good sign that not much attention has been paid to perfume. Especially for my sensitive skin. So I think it's a plus that there are no strange reactions. After applying it, I do have the idea that it hydrates my dry skin without making it greasy. I like this. Makeup also goes over flawlessly.

I was curious what this serum would be like! Also because the price value of this product is €177 euro. Then you also expect something 😊 I used it myself before I started my makeup routine. Let it dry for a while. Moved in with me quickly. But wasn't right after a few days of wow effect. Just normal, I guess because I expect more from it. Great serum, probably also for people who really have more oily/combination skin who would benefit more from it.

I wanted to test this serum because I have darker spots on my face. The serum doesn't feel sticky, so that's a positive thing. I do think it has a pungent smell, which I'd rather not have in a serum that you use every day. Furthermore, I don't see an immediate effect and I notice that my skin doesn't really react to it. So great serum, but not for my skin :(
