the bottle

the packaging: it comes in a light yellow box with color band at front to indicate the type. for youthful, it's purple. there's description at the back as well as ingredients printed on each side for day and night serum. the serum itself comes in a plastic bottle with two light yellow cartridges inside. you can't see through the cartridges so you can't see the remaining product from the outside. each cartridges end up with a separate pump head, which face opposite side. you only need to see the label at the back of the bottle to see which one is the day one and which one is the night one. the pump head is covered by a transparent plastic cap. the cap is easy to come off so it drops the bottle when i try to grab it by the head. after several times, i know better than to grab it by the body, and not the cap. i have a feeling that the cap will come loose after a few time. anyway, each cartridge comes in 15 ml, which is half the usual serum size. 

the scent: this is unscented and doesn't have foul scent either.

the product: both serums are transparent gel type with the day one is slightly runnier, but just a tiny bit. the difference is fairly thin. for day serum, it's quite thick so if i'm using a quite moisturizing sunscreen, i ditch the moisturizer. for the night serum, it's not thick enough that i'm a bit worried that it won't be enough to counteract my retinol serum. anyway, i use around one a half or two pumps for day serum and three pumps for night serum. for day serum, it contains moisturizing and hydrating stuff while for night serum, aside from peptide and hyaluronic acid, it also contain niacinamide and babchi (which is slightly exfoliating). since i use the night serum more, i end up finishing the night serum pretty fast. faster than the day one.

the result: for day time, it's quite moisturizing so i agree that if being used regularly, it will give you plump skin. however, for night serum, i do believe that it will help with dark spot as it contains babchi and niacinamide, but i'm doubtful about the elasticity. my previous mamonde red serum is slightly more moisturizing than this one. 

anyway, i quite like the idea of having 2 serums in 1 packaging. it will be great for traveling since you don't need to bring lots of serum with you, but the packaging is quite bulky. as for the formula, even though this is targeted for anti aging, i think all skin type can use this. for the day one, you can skip the moisturizer if you have combination to oily skin. but for the night serum, i think dry skin will need something else especially if you're using acid like BHA or retinol. as for me, i don't think i'll repurchase this one because i go through it pretty quickly. the night one doesn't seem to last for two weeks. as for the other type, so far i don't feel like trying it, so i might not buy them. anyway, if you're looking for a dual type serum targeted for moisturizing and anti aging, then you should try this one. on sale, it's quite affordable.
