erha age corrector anti aging serum (old version)

this is the description from watson website (as erha already changed their website) which i've translated: anti aging serum that's clinically proven helps to fade fine lines on your face and helps maintain skin and neck elasticity. 

- L-mucin, bio sodium hyaluronate, D-panthenol to moisturize skin.

- carnosine, prodizia and soybean phytoplacenta to regenerate skin cells.

- peptide complex, juventide, matrigenic for skin elasticity and beta white for brightening skin.

star ingredients: L-mucin, sodium hyaluronate, D-panthenol, carnosine, prodizia, soybean phytoplacenta extract, peptide complex, beta white.

ingredients list: aqua, pentylene glycol, carnosine, butylene glycol, snail secretion filtrate, glycerin, glycine soja seed extract, calcium chloride, carbomer, polysorbate 20, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, dicaprylyl carbonate, hibiscus abelmoschus seed extract, xanthan gum, undaria pinnatifida extract, starfish coelomic fluid extract, propylene glycol, albizia julibrissin bark extract, citronellyl methylcrotonate, panthenol, hydroxyethyl acrylate/ sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone copolymer, silica, isoceteth-10, oligopeptide-69, hydrogenated lecithin, sodium oleate, glycine soja oil, disodium EDTA, carrageenan, BHT, sodium hyaluronate, citric acid, phenoxyethanol, ethyl hexanediol, potassium sorbate, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, sodium sulfite, sodium metabisulfite.

the packaging: it comes in white box with red label at front. ingredients list is printed on on side and on the other side there's description and direction in both english and indonesian. they secure the top of the box with seal sticker. this is the old version as the box is white with red label. the new version comes in black box and red label. the description at front is different as well. here it's only written age corrector serum with hyaluronic acid, whitening agent and antioxidant, while the new one has "peptides and soya phytoplacenta" at front. the serum itself comes in dark plastic bottle with the same label that has the same design as the box. it uses pump to dispense the product and cover the pump head with dark plastic cap as well. i think they use airless pump system, but correct me if i'm wrong. the serum comes in 20 ml which is slightly less than usual serum size (30 ml). 

the scent: no added fragrance as you can see in the ingredients list, so if you're asking me, it smells rather foul. but i guess you'd be fine as long as you don't sniff it real close. for me, i personally like added subtle fragrance to give more experience while using skincare, but i do get that some people are sensitive to fragrance, so i think this would be a good option for those who has sensitive skin or have issues with fragrance.

the product: the serum is milky white gel type serum. it's viscous but melts instantly when you spread it around. it sinks quite quickly too. there's no tackiness after it's being completely absorbed. i usually use two pumps for my whole face and neck, but sometimes i skip it when i use moisturizing sheet mask. there's no tackiness after it's absorbed. i use two pumps for my whole face and neck.

the result: i have to say that i agree that this is a moisturizing serum. in long terms, it would help fight aging signs. but since i also use other skincare products that also claim to fight aging signs, i can't say that this serum works better than others. however, in the past, i've had some problems with skincare products that contain peptide. as i was testing this serum, plus using masks most of the time, i started to get breakouts again. even worse than before. so i decided to stop this for awhile and use the niacinamide twice a day. the breakouts lessened for a bit before popping out again. i decided to use this again but without adding emulsion as this is quite moisturizing and i think this time it will be okay.

i don't know why but maybe i need to sort my skincare products order to see the result better. i would try this again in the future. but for now, i think this serum might be messing with my maskne. i think this serum is not super rich and heavy that all skin types can use this. looking at the ingredients, this serum has a lot of good stuff, unfortunately, it doesn't work well with my skin condition right now. if you're curious about erha anti aging serum, you should get it. the price is quite reasonable, but wait until it's on sale since this serum is only 20 ml so the price per ml would be more expensive that usual serum. as for me, i will try to finish it then sort my skincare products order to fight my maskne first before trying something new.
