Skinfood Aqua Grape Bounce Bubble Serum Review

Anyeong~

Today review is for Skinfood Aqua Grape Bounce Bubble Serum. The same range as the Aqua Bubble Cream I reviewed before. The main function of this serum is to replenish moist and elasticity to skin, it’s another anti-aging serum. My first impression on this serum was the heavy glass bottle with beautiful gradient colour of blue-green on it, reminded me of the sea and the letter in a bottle thing.

Based on Cosdna analysis mostly safe ingredients with a few yellow flagged moderate risk ingredients. Check if you are sensitive to the ingredients. 

My thoughts:

The serum is transparent and runny with bubbles that you can burst. Not many serum where you can pop and burst bubbles, it’s a fun serum. The texture is gel like but runny. The scent is light - slightly perfume like scented. The serum came in a heavy glass bottle with pretty cyan colour. The serum is not oily at all, it’s lightweight, gel like and easily absorb on skin; even with a few layer of application, it sits well on skin without greasy or sticky feeling. I didn’t find this serum make any obvious difference on my skin, although it does moisturize my skin at the time of application, but it didn’t lock in the hydration thereafter. For the price it is a disappointing product for me.
