As the title suggests, it's difficult to know if this product is doing anything other than hydrating my face. So far, it hasn't appeared to brighten my face, tone my complexion, heal blemishes any quicker than assumed, or reduce fine lines.

Here are its pros, however:
I have used this product for 2-3 weeks now, it will last decently long since you only need a dime-sized amount to cover your entire face. In terms of hydration, I believe it is quite wonderful to layer with other light, watery products.

I gave this product three stars because while it does hydrate, that seems to be all it does. Perhaps I need to use it longer. In my personal opinion, it feels like putting expensive water on my face, which isn't necessarily bad, but for the price, I think I can do better.
