glad2glow blueberry 5% ceramide moisturizer

i'm back at it. buying new moisturizer especially the lightweight ones for my morning routine. there are a lot of them that i haven't tried yet so i slowly try buying them one by one and trying them. one of the most raved one is glad2glow blueberry one. but as usual, if you knew me, i rarely only buy one product every time i buy from a brand. usually i will see what other products they have to offer so i can save on the shipping cost, so expect another review from this brand since i also bought something else from them.
the tub

ingredients list at the back
the packaging: there's no box, just the tub, wrapped with plastic sealing securely. the moisturizer comes in a purple plastic tub with screw cap. there's ingredients list printed at the back of the tub, but nothing else.  there's another purple plastic separator that keeps the product from being in direct contact with the air. there's another tiny spatula inside but this time, it's straight and not curvy like other spatulas before this one. this one comes in 30 g, which is a normal size for a moisturizer. however, it looks tiny compared to other moisturizer with the same size that i used just before this. but oh well, the other ones have double-walled body, so it deceived me. not this one though.
the inside and the straight spatula
the scent: they say it has refreshing blueberry scent but for me, it smells like the grape sugus candy which i use to eat sometimes when i was little. anyway, the scent is a bit fruity and mild so it's not overwhelming.
how it looks like inside the tub
the product: it's a bluish lightweight gel moisturizer. the consistency is similar to true to skin or maybe a tad lighter than somethinc ceramide. since it's lightweight, it's easy to spread it around. it melts into watery traces so it's easily absorbed. it doesn't give any tacky feeling afterward.
how it looks like on my hand
the result: this one really gives cooling sensation afterward. and it's totally hydrating and lightweight. perfect for daytime use. after using this moisturizer in combination with tatcha essence, i started to see the result almost immediately after 2-3 days use. my skin condition gets better and even though i almost get my period, my skin is still manageable. which is great!
it melts right away
i totally love this moisturizer. i could see why there are so many people loving this moisturizer. it's very enjoyable to use. anyway, even though i can see that every skin types will love it, dry skin would need something else since this one is so lightweight. oh and if you don't like scented products in your skincare routine, then you should skip this one too as this is scented. but if you don't have any problems with all that, then i suggest you try this if you're curious about it. the good news is, this one is really affordable. the only cons is this one might not last long. 30 g is not a lot to go by if you use it every day. as for me, i like this one enough to put it on my maybe-repurchase list. 
future me here: i've just found out recently that this brand is NOT a local brand, but imported from china. this curiosity sparked when i saw them launching a lot of products that are similar to other brand's, so i did some little digging and found out the truth. let's just say, i cancel my upcoming purchase list because suddenly i lose interest in trying them. but this one is a good solid product.
