Reviews about Brightening Pre-Serum "First Care"

This is a really nice item, but it varies for each person. If someone is unsure if it will work for them, it's better to get a 10ml sample from a cosmetologist. I have been using this product for 5 years and I really like it.

The serum is absolutely amazing!

The toner is definitely not a replacement. If oily compositions are applied on top, the pre-serum rolls off (apparently, it doesn't absorb enough). It seems to moisturize... but it's not enough for me - I had to reorder the toner. Now, I apply the toner, then the pre-serum, followed by the serum and cream. And still, there's a feeling of tightness... I don't know why... maybe it's my skin - dry after courses of Obagi with retinol and hydroquinone.

But what confused me the most is the smell... am I the only one who smells gasoline? For those who understand compositions, please tell me if there's anything petroleum-based in it. The smell is just terrible...

And also, MAKEUP, pre-serum, and cream (also, Academie) arrived from the EU without any plastic seal on top of the boxes - is this normal? The serum actually spilled out of its box and was loose in the delivery box when I opened it...((

Overall, the product rating is not great...

I am ordering again because this serum is really awesome! The texture is very pleasant!

The most beloved serum. I tried it at a cosmetologist's office and then ordered it here. It's amazing, but I only like it when used together with the Thin Tone from Christina. Then my face simply shines as if after a cosmetic procedure.
