Surprisingly lovely!
Update about 2 weeks later: Still haven't had any (obvious) reaction with acne, so it seems like the product works for my skin! I've still used it quite often, so that's a very good sign. Still haven't crumbled with any other product I use. Considering how this feels on the skin and applying it, I could probably see myself using it as a day cream. I've gotten used to the scent, feels okay. I've ordered another tube now. Highest rating for the cream, lower rating because the tube could be easier to use (maybe it's enough to optimize the relationship between the size of the tube in relation to the initial amount of content) ______ Easy to apply, feels light and super nice on the skin. (Doesn't feel like sunscreen, which tends to be thick in consistency and therefore a bit annoying to apply.) The scent isn't really my favorite, but quite mild. Haven't (yet) crumbled with any other product I use. Feels initially really moisturizing, but becomes dry on the skin after a while. Minus for the tube, which for some reason makes it hard to get the right amount of product out. Comes out in different amounts and "farty", even when I shake down the contents. The tube is possibly actually too big for the content since this happens so quickly. I don't think it can be solely due to the cream's consistency. (Other creams I've bought from the same brand that have the same amount of content, in the same type of tube, have behaved similarly - quickly started to fart/spit out cream that splatters and leaves hardened cream around the opening) Something good about the tube is that it is made of a pretty soft and thin material, making it easy to cut open to use the remaining cream that has a hard time coming out at the end. (Not much cream left then since the tube is soft and flexible, but there are a few applications if you want to use it up) 30ml is not much when it comes to sunscreen. I only use this for my face and décolleté. Convenient to take with you, but it would have been practical to have a larger amount anyway. If the tube could hold more, I wouldn't mind if the content became 40ml instead, for example, with the same tube size. It would probably make the use smoother in several respects, including reducing the tendency to spout/fart out cream so it might be easier to get the right/desired amount out. My skin often reacts with pimples when I use sunscreen on my face, and it usually occurs after a shorter period of use. I haven't noticed any clear tendency to that yet with this cream actually. I await using the product a bit longer to see if I react with pimples.. otherwise, this cream could be my new absolute favorite!Translated from swedish

Lovely gel! Minus for pump bottle.
Wonderful, lovely, and fragrance-free gel that is very easy to apply even on thin, wrinkled eyelids. Can't determine if it has an effect, used it for about two weeks, but it gives a fresh and hydrated impression after application. However, I don't like the packaging because it's the same type as one of the eye creams*. There will be quite a bit of product left when you can no longer get anything out via the pump, and it will be very difficult to get it out in any other way from the narrow bottle. Additionally, only a little product is needed for each application, so it becomes unhygienic to scoop out the gel with your hand. I would strongly prefer a tube with a long, narrow tip instead, a type of tube that is common for eye cream, so you can use all the product and get the right amount out in a convenient way until you've used it all up. At the end, you can also cut the tube open and get the remaining part. * I didn't buy the eye cream in the same type of pump bottle (Eye Care fluid) again because of the packaging. Had forgotten this.. it came to mind while I was writing this. Over half the amount of product was left in the narrow bottle when the pump could no longer get anything out.. Very difficult to get it out by hand, especially to get the right amount for application.. I spilled what I got out into a small jar. Don't want to hold it that way. I remember the cream as very good, but the packaging ruined the whole experience after a short time. I bought the eye cream that comes in a jar instead. Very good cream, and an enormous amount in the jar for being for the eyes. I would have actually preferred to buy the Eye Care fluid if the packaging changes.Translated from swedish
1 product in post Lovely gel! Minus for pump bottle.584 views- 2 monthsI read what you write, and it really didn't work smoothly with the eye fluid, among other things due to its consistency in combination with the type of packaging.. so that's the experience I have had previously with this pump bottle unfortunately. It absolutely did not work to just pump it down and it was super hard to get out with a spatula.. there was so much left too.. had to pour it into a small jar I had.. and the cream smeared and slid.. it didn't stick to either my finger or the spatula to get a quantity for application.. No thanks to that experience again simply 😅 Aside from the hassle, there was so much product left.. when you start to finish a tube, there is often already quite a bit left, so when you cut it open, there aren't that many applications left where you need to mess with the product. Yes, it is easy to screw off the pump cap, I agree with you there, there are no difficulties.. it's all the other stuff and how much of the Eye fluid was left, its slippery consistency, etc. that together were absurd. The largest part of the usage of the product (about 2/3 of the amount, and you use very little with each application!) was a disappointment because the pump couldn't get the product anymore, it was stuck to the walls of the bottle, etc., and it wasn't enough to just pump it down.. I had to change the packaging myself already after about 1/3 of the product was used... (instead of having it a bit troublesome for a few applications, like when you cut open a tube that is starting to run out). Not even anything in the vicinity am I interested in again 😅 I want to be able to get out a suitable amount of product for most applications using the original container, that's just how I am. People are/prefer different.., deal with different levels of hassle, etc. - and if you have something to use the bottle for afterwards, maybe you can tolerate more hassle.. I have nothing I want or can use it for anyway, so I just want a functioning packaging while I use the product 😊 I hope despite everything that it will be a milder experience with this gel than with the eye fluid from the same brand (with the same type of bottle or a similar type of bottle). 😃👌🏼

Slow and crumbly, UNFORTUNATELY!
This has a too slow consistency near the eyelids, it's hard to spread and becomes uneconomical because you need to use more cream than is actually needed. Otherwise very lovely and gives a hydrated impression initially, but UNFORTUNATELY it crumbles after a while (even if you don't use any other product on the skin!) If it were a bit thinner in consistency, it would be much easier to apply.. and it wouldn't crumble .. then I would have just bought this, because it is so lovely when it is finally on the skin.. (until it starts to crumble after about an hour) It might be (crumbly) because too much cream has been applied, but it can't be applied in smaller amounts on thin wrinkled eyelids because the cream is too slow/thick in consistency! Could have been completely perfect... so keeping my fingers crossed for a change!Translated from swedish

Loved this, now with a new name (changed ingredients?)
Have used up several bottles. Works really well with other products I use. Love the feeling of it and the gold glitter. Has a nice effect after application but hard to determine if it has an effect over time. The effect and feeling after application are definitely addictive for me since I started using it. (I usually don’t use makeup or glitter otherwise, so I don’t use it to sparkle and occasionally put on a concealer or a bit of cream blush on top) The serum has changed its name while I’ve been using it. Marine collagen to vegan collagen. I don’t know if the ingredients have changed... I’m on my first bottle with the new name. Have only used it a few times, haven’t noticed any major difference, not yet anyway. Hoping that it’s EXACTLY the same, because I’ve been so freaking satisfied so far! The rating is lowered because it has changed its name and possibly ingredients (?), so I need to get used to the new one. Also, it’s questionable whether it has an effect over time on the skin, so that’s why it’s not the highest rating! The effect at the moment after application has so far (with the previous name/ingredients) been top-notch and I haven’t noticed any reaction (like it crumbling) at any time with other products, so it has been a very reliable product so far. Always needs to be shaken before application, because the gold settles at the bottom and if you don’t shake it, you only get a little gold per time and then it gets way too concentrated with glitter when the product starts to run out. There is generally a lot of glitter/gold in this! I usually empty the pipette in the bottle and shake the product before I draw up product in the pipette... then the gold distributes well for each application and there isn’t a thick gold sludge in the bottle when the product starts to run out.Translated from swedish

15% Niacinamide
I've bought this several times. Feels a bit strong on the skin but doesn't give me any unwanted reaction, so I'm satisfied. Used in periods over a longer time. Strongest concentration of niacinamide I've found.Translated from swedish

Weird smell for the face
I like other serums from this brand, but this one with vitamin C has a smell that I find hard to deal with unfortunately. It smells like laundry detergent/cleaner. I've only bought it once, and the smell made me avoid using it.Translated from swedish
