I did not notice any brightening effects, and it takes some time to completely sink into the skin. After 7 months of using, I noticed a kind of nut-like smell to the product that did previously not appear.

I use this sleeping mask insted of a moisturizer in my night time routine. The texture is smooth and spreads easily. The gentle ingredients makes it perfect to pair with actives.

For my preference, it was too oily on my skin. I used it right after cleansing and only used moisturizer after. My face would still stick to my pillow, and mixing the serum with a moisturizer made it worse. I would recommend for dry skin types

While this makes a really good starter into retinol products, I could not see any improvements to my skin (used for 4 month).
It does give a nice glow and is immensly hydrating.
