Whether or not they actually make a difference in efficiency I don't know, but for whatever reason, I absolutely adore products that have these little capsules in them. This is an, "active marine astaxanthin serum" - I can honestly say, that's not an ingredient or benefit profile I'm familiar with. I test MANY MANY skincare products, so I am always pleased when I can add something into my routine without it feeling redundant.I've not noticed any visible change to my skin, but that is to be expected - it is unrealistic to expect a notable change in skin without consistent, long-term use. But, having used it about halfway through the bottle, my overall opinion is indeed favorable.I reduced 1 star because I dislike products that lack fragrance. For that reason alone, I would not buy it again - however, I will enjoy using the rest of the bottle!Note: Given the lack of testing requirements for cosmetics, and the often unsubstantiated claims for efficacy, I typically evaluate them based primarily on ingredients and quality. Although I may reference my personal experience, there are simply too many individual variables to determine how it’ll work on each person.

Though it says it is a hydrating and helping even color tone for the face and is best for acne prone skin this feels like oil but not greasy that gives the right amount of glow and moisturization to the skin. It looks beautiful when applied and makes the skin glow. I love how it comes with a squeezer that can be used to get the last bit of the product so there is no wastage. It did not cause any irritation on my skin after application and I love that it blends into the skin with the warmth of your fingers. it suits all skin types and it is very calming.
