I normally prefer to apply products directly to my face from the dropper, but this cactus serum is very runny. I expected the serum to be slightly more viscous, but if I applied this straight to my face from the dropper, it would run off my face before I even had time to set everything down and pat it into my skin, so I find with this serum, it was most effective to to drop the product into one hand and then pat it into my skin with both hands. That way product waste was reduced and way less messy. The serum does absorb into absorb into skin quickly. It does feel slightly sticky on the skin, but honestly, I follow with moisturizer, so it's fine.
This serum is not fragranced, but does have a bit of a plant, herby scent (possibly from the cactus) to it like from the extracts and oils contained in this serum. I don't really smell the product past application, however, so I don't think the scent is much of an issue.
This serum is meant to improve skin texture, glossiness, skin elasticity, as well as help skin maintain hydration. I can't speak to the skin texture because I am fortunate to not struggle with that; however, my skin definitely feels more hydrated, and looks a lot more radiant and glowy.
