Overall: Great Positives: Does what it says except… Negatives: Not redness-reducing (at least for me) Soothes and smooths. Despite the price point, you don’t need a lot of this nicely absorbing night oil. I find that out of all its claims - it helps most with minimizing pores. Fine lines? Maybe. Temporarily at least… in the morning, my skin feels smoother. Redness-reducing is debatable. I feel it actually can contribute (a bit) to redness but hardly like other retinoids or retinals can. However, and conversely - it’s not irritating for me and I find it soothing. Go figure. The nice thing is - I feel it is very hydrating and you don’t necessarily need to add a moisturizer and/or eye cream. But even when you do, it works well with other brands too (I use “clean by Sephora” moisturizers like Caudalie, Farmacy Honey Halo and even Sephora Collection). Other reviewers complain about the scent. It is - unusual. I have a sensitive olfactory sense and can pick up “notes” in wine or perfumes that many can’t. But Luna drops’ scent is hard to decipher - not perfumey - no floral or woodsy anything, not chemical-ly. The upside is that I do not feel it’s a strong smell and fades very quickly. But scent is complex and has unique effects on every individual.
