ingredients list: aqua, 1,2 propanediol, cyclopentasiloxane, ethyl ascorbic acid (2%), aluminium starch octenylsuccinate, polyacrylamide, artemisia capillaris flower extract (raykami), ferulic acid, marine collagen, soluble collagen, sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, oligo sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, dimethylsilanol hyaluronate, potassium hyaluronate, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, sodium PCA, allantoin, trimethylpentanediol/adipic acid copolymer, daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract, glycine soja (soybean) oil, glycerin, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, c13-14 isoparaffin, laureth-7, 1,2-hexanediol, pentylene glycol, perfume.

the packaging: it comes in a white box that has the similar design among all whitelab products. they seal the outer box with plastic as well. the serum comes in a dark brown glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. the label has description as well as the ingredients list. anyway, i have the problem with the packaging due to the reason that you'll see later. anyway, i don't think they should use dropper to dispense the product, maybe pump or something else. this only comes in 20 ml as well just like somethinc.

the scent: as you can see in the ingredients list, they list perfume at the end of the list so it's definitely scented. it smells floral, but i don't mind. it's quite noticeable but it's not overwhelming. but if you don't like scented products, there are plenty options out there.

the products: the serum is milky white gel type serum that's quite viscous. that's why it's hard for the dropper to pick up the serum. i have to pinch it for a several seconds before releasing it to pick up the product and then it only pick up a drop or two. i ended up pouring the serum straight from the bottle to my palm. the serum is easy to spread around though. it takes a few seconds to sink in and doesn't leave tacky feeling.

the result: right off bat this feels moisturizing. a tad more moisturizing than the somethinc one. during the times i use this serum, the weather is getting hotter in my place, so i have to say that i'm not fond of using this during the daytime, but it was okay in the afternoon. however, i don't notice any brightening effect. it seems to change a little at the end, but it's only just slightly bit. i can see the effect from somethinc one better than this one.

anyway, this might be one of the mild one vitamin c serum. i don't feel tingling or anything when i use it. and it's quite moisturizing, so if you're a beginner and looking for a mild vitamin c serum, then you should start using this one. price wise, it's still affordable and it's easy to find. i just hope they change the packaging though. as for me, i don't think i'll repurchase.
