ingredients list: rosa damascena flower water (65%), glycerin, water, methylpropanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, butylene glycol, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, betaine, pentylene glycol, allantoin, adenosine, xanthan gum, octanediol, ethylhexylglycerin, carbomer, anthemis nobilis flower extract, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, eclipta prostata extract, coccinia indica fruit extract, polysorbate 20, caffeine, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, SH-octapeptide-4, SH-decapeptide-7, acetyl hexapeptide-8, rh-oligopeptide-1, rh-polypeptide-1, rh-oligopeptide-2, rh-polypeptide-3, rh-polypeptide-22.

the packaging: all somethinc serums don't have boxes. they only come in the bottle. this one comes in transparent (but looks pinkish) glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. there's small label with short description and ingredients list on it. the serum size is 20 ml which is a bit weird for a serum since it usually comes in 30 ml size for a full size one, but all somethinc serums regularly come in 20 ml size. i think they should consider changing the dropper since it didn't pair well with the serum.

the scent: though it contains rose water, somehow it doesn't smell floral at all. in fact, it's quite scentless, without any foul scent. you can also see that there's no added fragrance in the ingredients list as well.

the serum: it's a thick pinkish transparent gel. it's very thick that you have to pinch the dropper for a few second for it to pick up the product. that's why i said they should try other method to dispense the product as it's a bit annoying when i pull out the dropper but nothing inside even though i've pinched the dropper for a few seconds. however, considering the serum is quite thick, it's considered easy to spread it around without any problem. it layers well over and under my other skincare products, no pilling. i can even use it with my foreo bear easily.

the result: i think the result and the experience is similar to votre peau peptide serum, though if i recalled correctly, the votre peau is not as thick as somethinc one, but just slightly. this is a moisturizine serum but not super rich that it clogs my pores. it pairs well with the actives that i'm using at the moment. i won't say that the result is dramatically seen in 15 days as it claimed, but i can see my skin feel softer and the condition is getting better each day, combined with other product that i used. if you're curious, i'm currently using a retinol serum, hylapore serum and rotating between votre peau moisturizer and sulwhasoo moisturizer. i also use vitamin c serum during the day. 

i have to say i quite like this one. i think it's okay for all skin types, but maybe for oily skin, you should try it first. luckily somethinc offers smaller size, 5 ml, so it might be a good idea if you want to try it first before buying the full size. as for me, i'd definitely put this in my repurchase list if i ever run out of things to try. price wise, it's affordable and somethinc often holds sale. you can find it in their website or their official marketplace as well as other places like online shop and sociolla.
