I received this product for free from Home Tester Club and Neutrogena in exchange for my honest review.
I enjoyed using this serum as part of my evening skincare routine 2-3 x per week. I liked the lightweight gel texture as it felt cooling and absorbed easily into the skin without feeling sticky. It also layered well underneath face moisturiser. I noticed an improvement to blemish marks after 3 weeks of consistent use.

Cons: I disliked the screw top cap, it was too fiddly and would have preferred a flip top cap. Another issue was the serum is runny so even when the tube is squeezed lightly, too much product squirted out, which led to wasted product. The packaging could be improved with a bottle and dropper to allow more control during use and to eliminate waste.
I’m not a huge fan of the packaging. I found the bright red packaging a bit off putting because it a colour associated with danger. I also found the text on the box difficult to read because the colours and background weren’t dyslexia friendly.
