several months ago, i had this urge to try some products from less well-known brand. so i started buying stuff from them, mostly serums. one of them is settled. i bought two serums from them and one of them is this one. it looks promising, so let's see how it goes.

| description and ingredients list |
the packaging: it comes in a green box with description at front of the box. on the side and the back, the color becomes purple-green gradient with more descriptions in indonesia as well as the ingredients list at the back. they sealed the box with plastic sealing. the serum itself comes in transparent glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. the label is purple and see through so you can see the remaining product from the outside. it comes in 30 ml which is the normal size of a serum, but for local brands, it's more since usually local brands only comes in 20 ml.

| the bottle |
the scent: this one is scentless. most local brands release scentless products, so yeah.. nothing new. at least this one doesn't smell foul.
 |
| the dropper |
the product: this is a transparent runny gel type serum. it's quite runny so it can be picked up by the dropper. it's easy to spread around and it sinks in nicely into my skin as well. i usually use one to two pumps for my face and neck. however, for an moisturizing serum, i think this one is a bit on the runny side. usually my moisturizing serums are a bit on the thick side.

the result: this one is quite lightweight so it sinks quite quickly for a moisturizing serum. it gives glowy finish obviously but it doesn't feel overly tacky. i can still layers it with other products in my skincare steps. however, i don't think it's enough to counteract my actives, so sometimes i add another serum on top of this one.

honestly, it's quite disappointing because i'm quite interested in this serum more than the others from this brand. but this is a good serum. it's quite lightweight so you can use it day and night. i think it'll suitable for all skin type as well. it layers well so it's another plus. however, for me, it's not enough especially at night, so i won't repurchase it. if you never heard of settled, well, it's understandable because they only have three products so far and everything is serum. you can only purchase from their official marketplace, so maybe wait until there's some sales or free delivery.
