as i've said, i wanted to try underrated local brand and several months ago i bought some stuff from kitschy. i've tried their toner and their moisturizer, so it's only the serum left. both the toner and moisturizer are so-so for me, so let's see if my skin agrees with the serum. actually, i'm a bit hesitant because this one contains niacinamide, which my skin doesn't quite like. but it also contains peptide that my skin enjoys. so let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: a powerful glow for a powerful self. giving you a potent glow that also moisturizes and a visibly smoother, more even-toned skin, overtime.
what makes it special:
- forward glow formulation combining niacinamide and peptide in one bottle.
- the soothing and moisturizing agent (aloe vera, rose extract, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate) work together to help hydrate and plump your skin, bringing you to a higher level of healthy glow.
- works as an anti-aging over time.
power glow is especially made for all skin types.

| the box |
the packaging: just like other kitschy products, this one also comes in light yellow/orange box with retro design. the box is made of recycled paper and they seal the outer part with plastic sealing. there's a bit description at the sides and back of the box as well as the ingredients list but nothing on the bottle. the bottle itself is a transparent green glass bottle with white plastic dropper head. the dropper is a bit unusual since this is the first time i try this type of dropper. you have to press the top of the dropper to suck the serum and then lift it out of the bottle and then press it again to release the serum. however, since the top part is quite hard, it takes quite some time to getting used to it. another cons: since the serum is quite runny, sometimes it drops onto my palm even before i press the top part. it comes in 20 ml which is the usual size for a local serum.

the scent: honestly, it's been awhile since i use the serum, so i forgot how it smells like. maybe it's unscented or have a subtle scent, i can't say for sure.

| how it looks like inside the dropper |
the product: as i've said before, the serum is very runny, like liquid. or a very runny oil. it looks goldish inside the dropper but when i put it onto my palm, it looks transparent. anyway, since it's runny, it's easy to spread it around. it takes awhile to be absorbed though.

the result: afterward, i can see the glow that it gives. it's just as its name, a glow activated serum. after using it for about a week (i use it every afternoon and night, fyi), i start to see a difference. especially in my forehead area and on my cheek bones part. i have to remind you though, that i also use retinol serum every other day so it might affect the result that i'm getting. i can't see about the soothing part, but i can definitely say that this one is moisturizing.

i can say that this is a very good serum. it works just as it's promised. i think it's suitable for all skin types but maybe for dry skin, you will need something else, especially if you're using actives like retinol and other acids. my only complaint aside from the hard dropper head is the size. i wish it comes in bigger size because it's just so good. will i repurchase? maybe. i will definitely put it in my repurchase list if i ever run out of products to try. price wise, it's affordable and it's easy to get their products since they're local, so give it a try if you're curious.
