Skin type: Normal, dehydrated. Tends to be partly oily in hot&dry summer, and severely dehydrated&dry in our windy winter with harsh seasonal heating. Skin has under the skin inflammations in particular time of month due to hormonal changes.
Consistency: Oily water, so I shake thoroughly it before usage.
~
Scent: Citrusy, but lightweight and quickly fading. It doesn't linger on skin.

Absorption: In small amount (1 drop on forehead, nose, 1 on every cheek and chin. Total: 5 little drops) it takes almost no time to soaks in, but even then skin is saturated with moisture so you can feel it's full hydration. If you don't calculate the right amount it can make your skin oily (oils in ingredients), if that is a problem you can use usual napkins, it will clear the shining, but skin still will be moisturized.

Overall: When I read it is moisturizing, I didn't know it's SUPERBLY moisturizing (I suggest it's because of a toner from this haul, I read it is drying). It's an acid serum, but I didn't have any tickling or stinging feeling while using this, even right after soft peeling. For more synergy effect I feel like I had to buy an acid toner from this line. So, first, I haven't notice much effect. To test it, I used only this serum a little more than 1 month on body part that suffered from horrible hormonal underskin inflammations. This zone is cleared now. I haven't used acid toner from this line, but in that month (when I tested this serum) I used soft peeling gel 3 times. So, it's not an SOS product. It didn't calm inflamed acne I already had, so I just had to be patient. To see results I had to use it for a month. Well, periods still brings inflammations, but it's it's just one tiny pimple near that zone where I applied it. I rate this 4 stars, because I haven't noticed that much brightening effect. I mean yes, skin became clearer, but it's only because no more inflamed stuff, post-inflammation hyperpigmentation is still there. But still, I think this serum has a positive effect on my skin, so I'm gonna use it further on daily basis. There are no day-one-miracles in skincare (besides, every person's skin differs) and we need to be steady and patient for results.
