Prodotto di buona qualità con una profumazione delicata. Ottima l'idea di poter acquistare solo il refill per evitare sprechi di plastica. Confezione piacevole e curata nei dettagli
Ottima texture e profumazione delicata, mai invadente. Lascia sulla pelle una piacevole e duratura sensazione di idratazione. Dopo sole due settimane di utilizzo noto già un miglioramento visibile: la pelle appare più luminosa, morbida e uniforme.
It’s a silky, fast-absorbing serum that instantly boosts hydration. After applying it, my skin feels soft and supple—completely different from how tight and dry it usually feels after washing with a regular face soap. When I use it after the Photogena Facial Treatment Cleanser, my skin stays so hydrated that I sometimes forget I haven’t even moisturized yet! It’s lightweight, non-irritating, and smells amazing. I absolutely love it.
The texture is truly incredible—lightweight, silky, and instantly absorbed into the skin without leaving any residue. It feels almost like a second skin, delivering hydration and radiance from the very first application. I also really appreciate the airless refill packaging, which not only preserves the formula perfectly but also reflects a more conscious, luxury approach to skincare.
