First off, this product smells amazing! I've used hyaluronic acid products before and I find they usually have a slightly chemical smell. This stuff, however, has a nice fruity scent. It isn't overpowering though, and it doesn't last long after you apply it so if you're sensitive to strong scents it shouldn't be a problem for you.
I purchased this product to help even out my skin tone and hopefully reduce some of my hyper-pigmentation. I'm still in my 20s, but have Asian skin which is more prone to brown spots. I can't really comment on how this product would help with wrinkles or firming, but I can say it definitely brightens the skin! After just a few days of applying the serum before bed, I noticed that my skin tone was more even and that some of my dark spots were already beginning to fade. My skin just looks all around better, and I'm much more likely to leave the house without foundation now because I feel as if I just don't need it.
Another thing that's interesting about this product is how it's labeled a "serum," but instead of the clear liquid formula that most serums have, this stuff looks more like a cream to me. What this means is that it's also a lot more moisturizing than a regular serum would be, which is great because hyaluronic acid products can be very drying to the face. I haven't had any issues with dry skin/flaking since using this product. I still moisturize after application, but if you have skin that's more on the oily side, you might be able to get away with just leaving it on its own.

I ordered this serum in the hopes that it would help improve my hyperpigmentation (dark spots). I use it every night after I wash my face
and almost immediately, I noticed a difference in my skin tone and texture! The freckles around my face seem less noticeable and, although it wasn't a main concern of mine, I've also noticed that my pores around my nose and cheeks seem smaller. I use this in conjunction with a retinol serum a few times a week, and with them together I've never been happier with my skin :) My face looks less tired and my skin is much brighter, and I've even stopped wearing foundation as much since I don't feel the need to hide my skin.
The serum is thin and has a sort of slippery texture when you apply it, and although it doesn't dry my skin out, it does leave it feeling sort of tight. I wait a few minutes for it to dry before following with a moisturizer.
This vitamin C serum is a bit more expensive than other ones on Amazon, but in my opinion the results are worth the money. The only critique I have about the product would be that it doesn't smell... great, exactly, but it's not necessarily a bad smell. Just a little strange but it doesn't linger on the skin, so it's not a huge deal.

This eye cream is amazing! I’ve been using it for a week and a half and can already see a big reduction in the color of my dark circles. In the morning it also works to help reduce puffiness, and it feels a little tingly when you apply it. Overall the appearance of my eyes makes me look much more rested :)
The cream has a sort of minty scent, which I wasn’t expecting. It’s not strong, and even though I have sensitive eyes, it doesn’t irritate mine. Another thing which I appreciate a lot is that I’m able to wear this eye cream under my makeup. Other eye gels and creams I have used have balled up underneath concealers and foundations (almost like balls of silicone or a rubbery substance), but thankfully this product doesn’t do that. It sits well underneath my makeup throughout the day and keeps my under eye area moisturized so my concealer doesn’t crease.
I apply the eye cream twice a day, in the morning and at night. It’s really done a good job moisturizing and evening out the skin under my eyes.

I purchased this product because although I usually have combination skin, dry patches started to form around my nose and mouth because of dry weather. I was looking for something to moisturize my skin that wasn’t too heavy, since my pores clog easily and I’m also prone to breakouts.
On the whole, I’m very pleased with this serum! I apply it after washing my face, and since I have combination skin that isn’t too dry, I’m able to get away without using a moisturizer on top of it. The dry patches on my face disappeared almost immediately, and I love how this product doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy like a lot of moisturizers do. I’m also able to wear it under my makeup without it affecting the texture of my foundation or the way it wears throughout the day.
This serum is thicker than I would have thought, almost like the texture of a cream. There’s also a slight citrusy fragrance, but it’s not too strong and the serum hasn’t irritated my skin in any way so far.
I’m in my twenties, so I can’t really comment on how this product would work for wrinkles.

I’ve used Yalmeh’s hyaluronic acid serum and was very pleased with it, so I was excited when I found out the brand had something for your eyes that targeted dark circles and puffiness.
I usually use creams instead of gels around my eyes, and the first thing I noticed with this product is that it absorbs much more quickly into my skin than creams do. Sometimes eye creams can leave a shiny residue and greasy feel after you apply them, but I don’t really get that with this gel. There’s also a slight cooling sensation when you apply it, and I notice that after a few minutes, my eyes look more refreshed. You can almost immediately notice a difference in your dark circles and puffiness (or at least I did!) but after a week of using the gel twice a day, I could tell my eyes looked much more rested.
I use the eye gel after I wash my face in the morning and at night, and another great thing is that it wears well underneath my makeup. It doesn’t cause my foundation or concealer to separate and/or form little balls like some other products :)
There’s also no scent on this eye gel (at least none that I can detect), which I like because sometimes strong fragrances can irritate my eyes.
