Nett Wt: 30ml
Price: In the RM20+ range (I bought these at a discounted price + BOGO)
These were one of the best buys from my Taiwan trip. The texture of the serum is watery but when applied did not appear whitish. They absorb beautifully without the slimy feel.
I find these rather similar to Dermalogica Booster. But of course, at a much cheaper price. My skin tends to look healthy and supple when I apply this, sans redness which I'm prone to.
I'm hoping to repurchase this soon.

Kiehl's gives the most generous samples ever! 5ml of this Acai Serum lasted me about 5-7 uses :)
Now next to the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, this is my favourite item from Kiehl's. I'll tell you why..
With most samples, I tend to save them for holidays use. So I packed this with me during two of my trips to KL recently. First was for a friend's wedding. It was quite a mad rush trip and earlier with some very very late nights; then there was meeting up with relatives and shopping mad before the wedding dinner. So my skin was kinda dull.. from the lack of sleep.
I used this without expecting anything in specific (also my skin dislike the air conditioning). The texture is quite runny, and brown in colour. I love the citrusy scent but had a hard time exacting the smell. It spreads and absorb easily and fits my requirement when it didn't leave me a tacky feel.
But boy.. the next morning I woke up to really good looking skin. Of course I couldn't believe my eyes so I asked The Husband to verify lol. Just one application and I see supple well rested skin. Whoa, but after the sachet I told myself to calm down.. maybe I was a little OTT.
Then the next trip - I fell sick with food poisoning. I spent the night throwing up with no sleep. But even when I was sick, I still care about my skincare. Again I was so pleased when the sun rose and I can see myself clearly.. I didn't have to look haggard going to the doctor lol. Skin looks healthy, just the stomach sick then.
The only thing that holds me back from rushing to the store and buying a full bottle? I have too many serums at the moment :( Also my MRC are coming to an end (after lasting so long!) I sure look forward to purchasing the serum soon. Airport - travel exclusive size please?

Vitamin C.. they are good for us aren't they? I pop mine daily in the morning. And when I came across this in Bangkok last year, I had to try one.
The texture is not sticky or thick, makes application really easy. Doesn't sit on top either. Once absorbed, skin feels smooth to touch. No tingling or sensitivity issue.
This is mildly scented - fresh citrus. I only use this at night. Keeps the pimples at bay somehow but does not take care of redness. I find that if I use this continuosly after a month I no longer see any differences. So I skipped a month monthly and I see more positives. 60 ml for the price is really a steal.
I wouldn't mind repurchasing this one, but I am tempted to check out what is new at Oriental Princess :)

Another item from my Taiwan trip :)
I remember I was super excited at one of the Watsons outlet because I saw the entire Naruko range there. Spent quite some time browsing and deciding what to buy, because it was sale time (thank you thank you so lucky I was there when many outlets were having sales); many items are either on discount or Buy 1 Free 1 :D
I didn't have time to browse the internet for reviews on this, but I thought it looked good. I have to try it. And boy I'm glad I did!
Ok let me gush about the scent first. If I were to rate what I like most about this serum, it would be the scent. Each time I apply this, I am reminded of Wesak's Day. You know the fragrant floral water that devotees use to bathe the Buddha? Yes this smells just like that. I love it! Its so relaxing.
I use about 3-4 pumps for face and neck. This milky lotion is very easy to absorb, and didn't make my face shiny. No breakouts too. I only use this for day time. I'm already done with the serum :( Lasted me about 1.5 months of once a day use.
Now for the brightening effect.. I think it does help a little. Because I've been too slack with the sunscreen (don't ask why, don't shriek too - just another episode of crappy sunscreens and I don't know what other ways to finish them before I open a new one). So, I've been without sunscreen for probably 2-3 months or more now? Sun exposure as usual - lunch time glaring sun for say 3-5 mins? Irregular though.
I didn't develop any new dark spots. While I didn't turn into luminuous Snow White, not getting new dark spots seems kinda great. Right?
Couldn't vouch for firming though, because I've been quite consistant in massage and sagging haven't come visiting :P
I will most probably repurchase this again because I really love the scent. Ahhh.
By the way, the glass bottle is quite heavy and its not easy to gauge the content inside. So I am unlikely to take this along for travels.

I like the packaging, solid in a glass bottle with a pump. Not heavy me thinks.
The smell is really refreshing. I only use this at night so far, and am on my way finishing it.
Its gel texture is easy to spread on, but I find some sticky feel if I apply this in a rush. And it would sting on "freshly" picked skin - so no picking on blackheads / pimples prior to using this.
Comes the real problem..
I don't know if it works for me hahaha. I think my skin still looks the same. Not any fairer for long, not any darker either.
Having said that, lately I have been skipping sunscreen a few times a week :P
After finishing the recent Sunkiller, I've been more cautious in trying out other sunscreens because I do not want to be surprised in the morning with white cast, just 5 mins before I rush out the house. Worse, I even walked out for lunch without an umbrella! (need to change need to change)
So I guess in a way, not getting any darker is great?
Anyway, I have decided to use this serum prior to applying a mask (any type).
I find it works better this way. I do find fairer, plumped skin after removing the mask. So I'll just leave this for the masking ritual then.
Don't think I'll repurchase this, not bad, but not excellent either..

I thought I have previously review this serum, but I couldn't find it hmmm. Weird that the bottle is still in my to-do list lol. Playing tricks on me..
Anyway, it was my mom that started using this serum. She used a couple of bottle and my, her skin does look good! Supple and blemish free, she doesn't look like in her 50s (envy envy). It was one weekend I went back hastily without properly packing my own skincare, and she offered me this. Went to sleep and when she woke me up the next morning...
She looked excited - she commented that my skin looks really good. And yeah I jumped off the bed towards the mirror (vain people are like that). Oooohh, my skin did look plumped up and glowy. Now I know whenever we get a good night rest our skin would look good. But what I saw was way better!
So I went on and bought myself a bottle of this goodies. Used up the whole bottle, and it never irritates my skin. This is like the drugstore version on Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate.
The fact that it comes with a dropper makes usage very convenient. Have not experience any spillage, and one pump is sufficient for whole face and neck. The rubber stays solid too, so it didn't get greasy.
The serum absorbed well, and does not leave sticky residue. No unpleasant smell too, but scent could be very subjective.
Cosway occassionally has sale on this where you could get the 2nd bottle at 50% off.
The only reason I stopped buying (I've used up 3 bottles) is because Cosway kinda increased their membership fees, and other that a few selected items; my mom and I rarely purchase anything else. Hence wasn't worth to continue the membership.

I hauled this back from Korea last year :)
There were so many Power 10 Formula to choose from I really want them all.
I like that it comes with a dropper.. and I use 1 full pump for the whole face and neck. Because of its runny texture, it is very easy to apply and absorbs almost immediately. Non-sticky.
However I find that if I do not use BB cream or foundation after, my face tends to get a little too glowy mid-day. No such problem with a little makeup after application.
It doesn't break me out, and no negatives etc. I believe it does hydrate, but the effect isn't very obvious. And these days I spend less time taking care of my skin - my mornings are rushed, work late everyday, pretty irregular meals, and came back feeling dead. If on top of all that my skin didn't dry out, its something, yeah? :)

I love browsing the local drugstore for random finds. On some days, I score items that are rarely found here.
I do think that this serum is too rich for my combination skin. Not daily use. I use this about 3x per week, evening only. One and half pump each time, for massage including my neck. The baby powder scent is very relaxing.. and after massage, it leaves a dewy glow.
Then, no thick moisturizer after. Or risk having hair and dust and sand on the face. Actually just hair.. :P
The serum is not runny, nor too thick. Just nice to spread. I like the pump as it means less chances of accidental spills / germs contamination; and no need to wash spatulas before/after each use. Yes! I am a lazy lazy person :D
I'm happy to gloat that I do not have wrinkles or sagging yet... so, I don't know if it really lifts! Lol, but I do know my skin look plump after each massage and the morning after (so yes to firmer skin!). With careful use (no overdose) my skin is clear most of the time..

Sigh, another product that I'm happy to toss! Total waste of money :(
What really puts me off was the smell! Strong plastic smell, I really dislike it!
What was worse.. it did nothing to shrink pore size. Easy to spread and apply, but difficult to live with the smell, though it did not last long. But still...
And look at the long list of ingredients. @_@
Even a slight help in the oil control department won't make me repurchase this..

I forgot how much was this serum.. probably about RM100-ish?
Don't have much to say about this, as I wasn't impressed.
Watery in texture, 2 drops are not enough for me. I usually use 4-6 to cover my neck as well. Absorption was pretty good. But I don't find this moisturizing, nor did I detect any radiance on my skin.
My skin condition remained the same throughout the use.. not worse, not better. I'm just glad I finished the bottle..

I use this as a day time serum. Didn't detect any scent. Seems that it contains alcohol, but it doesn't sting nor cause any irritation to my skin.
Spreads easily, and absorbs pretty quick. Leaves a cooling feel.
Okay for light hydration, my skin does not feel tight at the end of the day.
However it does not reduce pore size. It does plump up the skin and give a nice healthy glow. Nothing significant for those over 30s, I think.

The first time I used this, I got a huge shock. The scent is extremely strong.
Like deep, sweet hawthorn smell. And the scent lingers on for a good couple of hours. So if you don't like scented products, stay away from this.
I'm about to finish this, because I quite like this. Its runny texture allows me to spread it easily. Used alone, it does not leave sticky residue / feel. I usually add about 3 drops of Rosehip oil to this, and its a yummy nutrient for my skin.
With the Rosehip oil, it can be abit sticky. Pat on some powder and I'm good to go. Moisturizing properties are great; even better with the oil combo. Does not break me out. Not too sure about firming though.
I'd really love this if the smell is notch lower.. On certain days (bad hair days) the scent bothers me.. like wearing perfume on my face.. :P

I heart heart heart this! Really, seriously. If I have to give up all my other lotions and potions, I'd be happy just to keep this one :)
It was a gift from The BF this year (yay we have Kiehl's in Penang!). Been using this since Jan, and I'm no where past the first 1/5. The SA recommended that I only use this 3 times a week, 2 drops each. But being me.. I use about 4-5 drops because I like pampering my neck and shoulders too.
Each application resulted in very clear, well rested skin! Even on the time of the month. Sometimes, I skipped toner and night cream altogether. Just a few drops of this elixir. Gently patted on.
The scent is not overpowering, but just gentle enough to lull me to sleep.
And best of all, it does not leave me with sticky residue - no hair on my face :D
I'd be happy to spend RM200 on this again!

Foxy Says:
I redeeemed this serum from Vouch Magazine cut out coupon. Airellis relocated their outlet to Queensbay area so I guess this their opening special.
Been using it for a couple of weeks, and I find that this works pretty well.
My long hours at the office gave me some faint lines around my mouth area, a sign of dehydration! Arghh.
The serum spreads easily, so I only need about 1-2 pumps each time.
I prefer to pat it on, and doing this means no stickiness, another plus point.
Color: Clear gel, semi-runny
Content: 30ml
Scent: Unscented, my nose is happy!
Price: Err, I got it free, but if I remember well I think it is RM168 (or is it RM68?!)
After about a month of using, I find that my skin is less dehydrated (again depending on the hours of sleep): - I only use this once a day.
The fine lines are still around, but getting less obvious.
I'm not too sure if I'll re-purchase this, as I'd like to try some others first :)
Ooh counting down.. 6 more pumps and I'll be bidding farewell to this serum...
I did a quick search for this and I don't find many reviews about it, I wonder why?
And, it is no longer listed in Estee Lauder's website. Discontinued perhaps?
It took me about 4 months to finish this up, as I only use it daytime. 3 pumps to comfortably massaged into my face and neck.

Foxy Thinks:
Hmm I'm not sad bidding it farewell.. Its not that I don't like it. This is a very basic serum that moisturize, that's all it does for me. *shrugs*
I don't know about the "bursting with vitamins" part, other than keeping my skin hydrated I don't see radiance. Definitely not saving me from looking like a zombie whenever I slaved at work and got stingy with sleep. *another shrug*
Oh, and this takes a lil longer to absorb.. but I usually do a lil massage so it doesn't really bother me much.
Well... taraaa Radiance Serum. I think I like the Nutritious Vita-Mineral Moisture Milk better.
