The Way I Used It

I scoop the product with a spatula, I didn't dip my finger into the jar. I love to used this in day time, but love to put it on night time as well.

I usually I only used one big scoop from the small spatula to covered all my face. And take another medium amount to cover my neck and chest area.

 I used this before sunscreen in day time. And before sleeping mask at night time. But sometimes this will be just my last product that I used.

The Packaging, Scent & Texture

Do you know that this moisturizer is something that I already used before and super love it? I did make the full review on old packaging at my instagram.

But this one, this one finally upgraded into a bigger jar! Previously it was in 50ml jar, but now it is 80ml! And what more interestung is the price is the same. yayyy!

The scent is fresh citrusy scent, it smells fresh and light. Not too strong. It's actually soothing kinda scent. I kinda like it tbh.

This is a light gel type moisturizer. Non sticky. Not greasy at all. Fast absorption to my skin. Not heavy and give me a little cooling effect.

My Thoughts On The Result

First, just so you know this will be the combination review from my past experience and now.

I super love this moisturizer before, and now that I put this into my routine again, I still love it! Definitely a moisturizer that I highly recommended if you don't have any allergic to the ingredients mentioned above.

This is one of the best gel moisturizer I ever tried.

I still remember that I didn't have any expectation about this moisturizer before, and this cream definitely gave me a huge wonderful surprised.

It soothes, calms, hydrates, and make my skin glow too. My skin loves it. It feels fresh and cooling too.

It didn't breaks me out, when I had acne, it helps to calms it down a bit faster. 

I really don't have anything bad to say about this moisturizer, a perfect moisturizer for someone who have oily skin like mine.

The Way I Used It
I used it both day and night, but if my skin is okay, I wear this only at night.
One or two pumps are enough for me.
Because this serum is thick, I used this right before moisturizer, and if I have other serums that I used with this one, this GBR will be the last serum I wore between the serums.

The Packaging, Scent, & Texture

This GBR came in a cute glass pump bottle, the packaging is simple, minimal, with green and white and a little black font on the bottle. The packaging though simple, but it gives off the luxurious feeling. The pump in this serum is sleek and easy to pump it.
It has no fragrance, but it has that Tamanu smell (i think). Honestly, I'm not really a fan of this serum. But the scent doesn't lingers, so I'm okay with it though I admit it was hard at first to adjust with the smell.
The serum is in light green mint colour, it is so pretty! I love this serum colour, Somehow, it makes me feel calm just looking at the colour.
The texture is thick cream like, at first I did feel it was a bit heavy for my skin, at that time my skin was well hydrated and hadn't had any problem. But when my skin had problem and dehydrated, my skin loves the thickness of this serum, it sits well on my skin, and I feel like it protects and repairs my skin.

My Thoughts On The Result

When I first tried it on, I did not immediately love it, because at that time my skin was fine and had no problem, so this one felt a bit heavy. I tried for a week, and my skin adjusted with the serum, but I didn't see any result yet.
I stopped for awhile.
And when my skin started to feel dehydrated and problematic, THIS SERUM IS MY SAVIOUR!

Love how this serum help my skin improvement.

This serum helps to hydrate and moisturize at the same time, soothed my irritated skin, and my skin felt firm and supple after continuosly using this. I can feel that it repaired my skin well!

For me, this serum is really a good treatment serum when my skin had problems.

I do really enjoy using this!
