i bought this in a set before i went to europe. i knew well that glowincpotion travel set is tiny, so i knew that i wouldn't be enough for two weeks. but both my flight stopped in turkey, so i figured i needed something smaller in my bag so i can use it during my transit or while on the plane. anyway, at first i bought the hydralive and the forever one because i thought it would be drying on the plane, but they sent me the maintain one. since i didn't have the time to send them back to switch with the correct one, i decided to just buy the forever in another order. anyway, let's check the moisturizer from this set.

items in the travel set:
- nutrient skin pH balancer cleanser 5 ml
- nutrient skin essence toner 5 ml
- nutrient skin serum 5 ml

the packaging: it comes in a jelly pouch with zipper to secure all the stuff included in the set. there's a big label at front so you know which type of set that you get. it's also written in the same color as the the rest of the set. for maintain, the font is light blue as they color coded the type. the moisturizer itself comes in greyish squeeze tube with screw cap. ingredients list are printed at the back of the tube. the size is 5 ml but it's enough for around 4-5 uses.

the scent: there's no annoying scent, though if i sniff closely, there's a bit scent due to the ingredients.

the product: the moisturizer is a white gel type moisturizer that's on the dense side compared to other moisturizer that i've been using lately. in fact, it's probably leaning toward cream more than gel. but it's still spread around easily. since it's quite thick, i only need a little for my whole face and neck.

the result: compared to the toner, the moisturizer gives enough punch, sealing everything if you use the whole set. the toner and the serum are considered lightweight, so the moisturizer feels like compensates everything else and seals it at the end. however, since it's quite thick, at the end, it feels a bit oily, but not too much.
i have to say that if you use it solely, the moisturizer will feel a bit heavy on oily skin, but it's still okay as it comes in gel type so it doesn't feel too heavy. i think it's okay for normal to dry skin, but for dry skin it might not be enough at night time. if you're using the whole set, then the moisturizer is a must to use as it seals everything at the end. i have to say that this moisturizer really delivers. i use this when i was on the plane and it helps with the dryness in the plane cabin. when i arrived in my destination, i usually got acnes because my skin was dehydrated, but not this time. it's well moisturized without looking overly greasy, so i'm happy. however, i won't buy this to use for my daily routine as i have other lightweight moisturizer that i like better than this one for in the morning, so.. yeah.. i'll repurchase if i ever need another travel set.
