My review:

This is my first time trying LIFTACTIV CxP Serum and doesn't really expect much from a sample. The texture is creamy and the color is like light gold, I don't really like the smell which somewhat reminds me of mocha. But I try not to do a review just based on the scent . . . it is not a perfume after all. The one that is obvious is I do feel their plumping effect.

I don't see immediate radiance look but the formula is pleasing and rich enough yet easily absorbed which is suitable for daily use. I try it again on the back of my hand and it do give a brighter look than the one not given any. So maybe, on different skin condition it'll give that instant glow.

My verdict:

You'll love the immediate plumping effect for the extra fine lines (meaning: deeper lines need more time), instant radiance (do compare the before after look with a photo), how quick their absorbed, one negative comment from me it will be just the scent, I really dislike.
