glowincpotion hydralive+ moisturize lock everyday moisturizer

as i've already said in other post, i bought the set to be used during transit and on the plane as the set is tiny so i can slip it into my bag. even though i don't have dry skin, i thought it would be drying on the plane so i bought the hydralive one. let's see how it goes.

this set included:
- hydralive+ moisture lock gel cleanser 5 ml
- hydralive+ moisture lock skin drink essence 5 ml
- hydralive+ moisture lock serum 5 ml
- hydralive+ moisture lock everyday moisturizer 5 ml

the packaging: it comes in a jelly pouch the the name of the set at front. the font is the same color as the whole set as they color coded according to the type of the set. for hydralive it's dark blue, which is similar to maintain (light blue). the moisturizer itself comes in greyish plastic tube with screw cap. ingredients list are printed at the back and it comes in 5 ml size. it's very tiny but since i only need a little for my whole face and neck, i can use it up to 3 times.
the packaging
the scent: just like the maintain one, this one is unscented but if i whiff really close, i can smell something but it's very subtle. maybe it's just because of the ingredients since it doesn't have any fragrance added.
all the stuff in the set
the product: the moisturizer is slightly bluish in color. it's a gel type moisturizer that's similar to the maintain one. this one definitely contains more hydrating and moisturizing ingredients.
the tube
the result: i have to compare it to the maintain one as that one is targeted for normal skin while this one is for dry skin. i have to say that compared them back to back, the maintain one is more moisturizing that the hydralive one. both are lightweight but for me this one is suitable for daytime only.

i have to say that this one is suitable for normal to combination skin rather than dry skin. for me, it's okay for daytime, but won't be enough for night time. however, compared to other gel moisturizer that i used during the day, this one is the heaviest, thus i might not get the full size one as i like my other moisturizer better. anyway, price wise is affordable and this one is quite decent. and it's beginner friendly as you just need to find out your skin type and there's a whole routine to follow so it's easier if you're confused about where to start. but you can also buy them separately if you want. as for me, i won't repurchase the full size just because of preference, not because this stuff is bad.
