i bought this in an anti aging set with the multipeptide one that i've tried before. if you're interested to read my thoughts about it, then you can read it here. anyway, around the time that this serum was released, i remembered salmon DNA or salmon sperm (i forgot which one) got the hype as the new "it" thing in skincare. but it's very short-lived as no one talk about it anymore. anyway, i've tried the multipeptide one, so let's see how this one goes.
this is the description from their website: skin booster elixir from deep blue ocean, infused with 62% deep sea water, salmon DNA, pseudoalteromonas ferment extract, hydrolyzed marine collagen and pearl. promotes skin elasticity, revitalize uneven skin texture, boost collagen 1& 4 production, skin regeneration and restoring back your skin's glow.

| the bottle |
the packaging: the serum doesn't come in a box. they just seal the bottle with plastic sealing. the serum comes in a glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. though the bottle is orangey, but it's see through so you can see the remaining product inside and no, the serum isn't orange. the label has descriptions in english and indonesia as well as the ingredients list, but everything is printed in tiny fonts, so it might hurt your eyes if you tried to read it. anyway, somethinc is quite weird as all of their serums come in 20 ml size. yep. 20 ml. usually full size serum is around 30 ml or more.

the scent: i was worried that this might smell salty or foul, but thankfully, no. it's scentless and it doesn't have weird scent because of the ingredients.

| the dropper and the serum inside |
the product: the serum is a gel type serum, a bit runnier than multipeptide one. i thought this one would be thicker, but i guess i was wrong as the multipeptide one is thicker. anyway, it's easy to spread around and doesn't leave tacky feeling afterward. it layers well with my other skincare products and it works okay for my foreo bear. judging from the ingredients, there are a lot of moisturizing agents and some soothing or brightening stuff. but mainly moisturizing ones.

| how it looks like on my hand |
the result: this one is definitely moisturizing, but compared to the peptide one, this one is lighter. the peptide one sometimes feels tacky afterward but this one doesn't. it's easier to absorb as well. however, aside from moisturizing, i don't see other effect though i've been using it for a month now.

i guess this one will be more suitable for all skin type as this is lighter than the peptide one. if you're looking for a lightweight moisturizing serum, then this might be a good option. as long as you don't have problem with salmon DNA. price wise it's still affordable and somethinc stuff is easily found almost everywhere, from their official website and marketplaces to other online stores. as for me, there are lots of new serums out there, so i'll still put this into consideration but i won't say that i'd repurchase this one for sure.
