This moisturizer is able to deeply hydrate my skin & lock in all that moisture as my last step in my night time routine. So far my skin has been loving how lightweight & yet deeply hydrating this is. I wake up with soft & plump skin π as for the brightening claim, I have yet to report on this. One thing that I have also noticed is that my laugh lines arenβt as prominent as they used to be which is a huge plus for me. Aside from the strong to moderate scent, I pleasantly enjoyed this π I think that all skin types will enjoy this.
