Not for me
This product caused an allergic reaction that covered my face in atopic dermatitis. I got sample, used it & at first really liked it so purchased. By the time my order arrived I was experiencing some allergic reaction but it was mild & went away (not realizing this was because I had used up sample & approx a week had passed without using) I didn’t put it together & started to use serum again, within 2 days my skin freaked out, this is the single worst allergic reaction I have ever had to any product. Was really bummed because I wanted to love this but it did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. 48yr female with insanely sensitive & reactive skin. I use a barrier serum from a different brand multiple times per day, I’m unsure if it’s actually adding anything but it didn’t irritate my skin. I thought I would be replacing that with a higher end product but it was a massive failure for 3x the price. Took 3 weeks of discontinuing this product plus prescription from dermatologist to get the dermatitis flare to calm down. Obviously this works great for a lot of ppl & I have no idea what ingredient in this product I’m allergic to but it definitely caused some grief for me .

Disappointed
This serum is supposed to bind moisture to the skin and hydrate the skin with hyaluronic acid. My skin, which is combination skin, actually feels dryer after I apply it. I have been using this product for a few weeks and do not notice any benefit to using it. I will not buy it again.

Not satisfied
I use several Skinceutical products. This one was not worth the price paid. I’ve used other brands of hyaluronic which were much more effective. Im very dry and found no hydrating or plumping.

Caused Reaction
Was excited to try this sample I received. Unfortunately after using for 3 days, I realized my skin texture was terrible. It caused bumps - not milia, almost like tiny mosquito bites - across my cheeks, and nose. This was the only new product I added, so I'm sure it was the source. It was moisturizing, but not worth it. I know Skinceuticals has a great reputation, but the few products I've tried always leave my skin looking worse than when I started. Perhaps not the best choice for sensitive skin.

Complete Waste
This product is a complete waste of money and lie. My $20 Amazon product did the same results and 1/4 the money. Wouldn't buy again or even think to. Felt no more hydration than a hyaluronic product that was not SkinCeuticals

Not effective and possibly aging
The first time I used this product, my skin looked flaky, so I followed it with a cream, and I wondered what hydration I was getting from this product. On night two, I followed this product with a facial oil and they worked ok together, so I felt more optimistic but still skeptical (as maybe just the oil would be better). Night three, I used a moisturizing cleanser, so I followed that with this product alone. I didn't look in the mirror again for about 40 minutes, but when I did, I saw deep lines on one side of my chin, which I'd never seen before (I'm 39). Not only did the product lack benefits, but it seemed to have a negative effect on my skin's appearance. I was drawn to this product for environmental reasons (no palm oil derivatives and glass bottle), but it's a no go for me.

Doesn't work for me
After using this product for only two days, I had an allergic reaction. I got red, dry, peeling skin, very unattractive, red bumps. I then noticed that this is good for acne prone skin, which I do not have. Perhaps that ingredient was the suspect. I have very dry, sensitive skin. I regret that I threw away the packaging or I would have returned it. This was an expensive experiment that didn't work. I have liked all other SkinCeuticals products, but this one is not for me. My husband has oily, acne prone skin. Think I'll pass it on to him.

Breaks me out
Not good for my skin. It broke me out bad and I tried using for almost a month. I don’t understand what’s in it that is causing really bad acne now.

Not for me
The product is almost watery-texture. I live in a dry environment in which that kind of product would make my skin dry, as it works as a medium that absorbs moisture from my skin rather than from the air.

Did not work for me
This product stings after application, and leaves my skin irritated. It did not add moisture, if anything my skin felt drier.
