skinfood gold caviar collagen serum

this is another sample review, which i got from one of my haul, probably the tester korea one. i've tried the gold caviar serum, and the gold caviar collagen cream, so i'm glad i got a different sample of this line. this is the description from their english website: a collagen-enriched serum with russian caviar extract, pure gold particles, and collagen extract that fill up loose, deflated skin for a firmer, tighter complexion (cosmeceutical for wrinkle care).

the packaging: the sachet comes in a boring square sachet. beware though about the color and make sure you read the english text of the product name. because this gold caviar and gold caviar collagen packaging is similar. the only difference is there's a purplish hue for the gold caviar collagen one. oh, and there's the new gold caviar collagen plus too.. makes it more confusing. but don't be afraid, all you have to do is make sure you read the english text of the product name. thank God it's in english.

the smell: at first i think it's smell fragrant, like floral.. but at the end i smell something a little bit fishy. but just a bit. but on my second usage, i think it's very very unnoticeable. once you put it on your face, i can't smell anything.

the product: oh, if you like luxurious thing or anything contains gold, then you'll like it. it's a clear serum, slightly viscous with gold flecks in it. once you applied it obviously the gold flecks will vanish. and then your skin will look luminous. oohhhh... oh it's a rich serum that it takes a few minutes to be absorbed.

the result: it's very moisturizing, so i think it will work for wrinkle prevention. but since one sachet only last me about 2-3 usages, i have no further say about it. although it's very moisturizing, it doesn't make my skin greasy the morning after.

unfortunately, i don't think i will get this one, since i've read someone said that other than hydration, it doesn't do anything else. and if i'm not mistaken, this line is considered the luxurious line from skinfood, so it's not cheap. so i don't think i will spend my money on something that only works for hydration. but if you like gold, try this serum. i think this will suit every skin types. even oily skin can use it, only at night. for dry skin, i think you need something more powerful than just this serum. but for me, i'll pass.
