L'Oreal Youth Code serum hydrates the skin very well. It helps to prevent early signs of again. It minimizes the pores, also made my skin soft and silky-smooth. I use it everyday and I can really tell the difference the glow and pores. The texture is light weight, non-gresy and very hydrating. It absorbed in the skin very quickly.The serum comes in a beautiful thick glass jar with a very easy to use dropper and leaves no mess.There is a slight smell to it but its definitely not overpowering. I definitely recommend this serum.
