IASO PROGRESSIVE Age Care Serum | Premium Anti-Aging, Anti-Wrinkle Serum, Gold-Infused Formula, Improving Skin Quality and Texture, Korean Skin Care, 1.18 oz

This product is so worth it. I tried many different Korean products, but this is the best! I have a discoloration on my skin, and I have just noticed that the area that the dark area is getting lighter. I’m so in love with this product. It’s so affordable, and I like the packaging!

UNBOXING: This serum arrives in a swoon-worthy, gold box sealed with two safety stickers. Once open, you'll find a small yellow pamphlet in Korean. Don't worry! When you open it up, there's an English translation. The bottle is a gorgeous, a shiny gold cylinder that begs to sit out on your counter with your perfumes. USE: The applicator is a pump that releases a pea-sized amount when you fully press on it. The serum is a shimmering gold color, and the scent is to die for - just the sweetest, lightest, most polite floral you can imagine. Rubbing it into my hand, it leaves no color cast. My skin is left feeling soft and smooth. It leaves no sticky or tacky residue. INFO: I have a few sun spots, hyperpigmentation (melasma), super dry skin, and the typical anti-aging concerns. Products in my current rotation: cleanser, micellar water, Eucerin Anti Pigment Serum, Eucerin Anti Pigment Night Cream, Glytone rejuvenating cream, a prescription compound with tretinoin/kojic acid/hydroquinone/steroid, and Larosanna cream with Lanolin as a barrier cream before bed. Note: I do not use all of these products daily. Now, the best anti-aging product there is, and the one that has the most scientific studies to date, is tretinoin. Using prescription-level tretinoin, you should see results in 3-6 months (for anti-aging, results are faster for acne). I mention this just so we all keep our expectations in line with reality. Anti-aging treatments are a LONG GAME even when you're using prescription strength. It stands to reason that a product like this serum would likely take just as long, if not longer, to show tangible results. Keeping that in mind, I will rate the product five stars because everything is perfect at my initial evaluation: quality control, aesthetics, safety, consistency, scent, and an amazing ingredient profile. Everything that I CAN evaluate at this time ticks off ALL the boxes of a high-end skincare product. What I CAN'T evaluate YET is the long-term efficacy of the product. If you don't see an update 8-12 months from now, you'll know that I didn't get enough results from the product to repurchase it. EXTRA The pamphlet had small and hard to read text. Here's a summary: • Adenosine and phytocomplex help energize and thicken the skin's surface to look smoother and younger, diminishing fine lines. • Anti-oxidants and intensive lifting plant extracts help firm and add cushion to thinning and aging skin. • Moisturizing system that leaves an invisible veil of moisture. Strengthens skin's natural moisture barrier. • Vitamins and skin-soothing extracts to calm and retexturize the skin. • Poly Froctose (sic) Multiple Technology: new delivery technology that gives a light, smooth texture to your skin. This three-dimensional molecule retains moisture longer to protect your skin against contaminants. • Adeno-B3 Liposome: Multi-level compound shield including Adenosine, Vitamin B3 and Ginseng extracts increases effectiveness of the formula. • Instructions: Apply one or two drops over the face am/pm after toner or after IASO Intensive Clear Booster (a mild exfoliating treatment with AHA/BHA).

First impression, the package is so classy and elegant! This serum is thicker than what I'm used to so I needed just a little bit more than my water-based serums. I love that it's subtly shimmery, giving you a soft glowy look. For what the product does, I think this is a bit pricey compared to what other similar Korean serums can do. Like I can probably get similar results for a fraction of the price. Other than that, I do recommend this product if you feel like splurging a bit!

Korean skincare wins again! This serum is clearly well made - it feels and smells great, and I like that it adds just a little bit of gold shimmer that isn't super obvious like body glitter products. It just adds a little bit of visual interest without being obvious. The pump bottle works well and is clearly well made. The box looks nice too. Good serum, well made, looks neat.

My thoughts on the product and packaging are different from what I saw in the other reviews. First off, because of the price being high, you expect a box to match. Others liked the box. I think they could have done a far better job with the box. It looks cheap to me. Especially, the plastic inside of it that the bottle lays in. And then there is the bottle itself. Again, a light cheap plastic material that other face products would never put their special and expensive face product in. I am not saying it has to be glass or all in the packaging but this I found ridiculous. It has a nice pump though. It gives you a very small amount. Mine gives me about half the size of a small pea amount. The serum has a nice thickness. It feels just right. It has a shimmer to it. I was surprised, however, when I smoothed it onto my face. I didn't feel like I put something on my skin. So, greasy it definitely is not. But I would expect to feel a moisturizer of some kind or a softness to my skin, but I didn't feel anything at all. And my face didn't feel any different. I was a little confused. And very much disappointed. I didn't smell anything much. And what I did smell wasn't bad but not appealing either. I did see a very light shimmer. But I can only see this when under direct light with my face up to the mirror. Otherwise, I couldn't tell. I have only worn it a few times so I cannot say if it is going to make a difference in my skin. Nothing so far of course. Because of the price, I find myself not wanting to use it every day like you are probably supposed to. I don't go out a lot or I probably would just to have a little shimmer to my skin. Closest and next best thing to a glo. If they see it. I went to their webpage to learn more about the product because the amount of information that was included on a yellow folded sheet of paper wasn't giving me what I was looking for. The paper talked a lot about what it can do for you with their "technology". I did manage to find, however, that there are also active ingredients of Adenosine, Vitamin B3 and Ginseng extracts as well. There is a mention of aphyto-complex but I am not sure what that is. On the website, they mainly talked only of the three main ingredients in the serum that gives it that subtle shimmer to the skin which are Pearl, Amethyst, and Gold. I don't know how much of each is actually in the serum. I wanted to see what else it had but it was too focused on those three ingredients to give information on others. I have bought other skincare products from Korea before. I love Korean skincare products. It started young when I had a best friend who was Korean, and I would watch her beautiful Aunt with the most beautiful skin tell us how she knew all the secrets to beauty and skincare as I watched her put on her skincare products. The way she looked, I believed her. And I do think there is something true with her statement as far as Korean women knowing skincare beauty. This particular product though so far has been a little bit of a letdown. I don't want to say anything other than that because I still need time with it on my skin. I need to test the product after using it every day for at least a month. But as of right now, it isn't the product I was expecting. I have other face products from Korea in my bathroom right now that are half the price and are far better.

This is a nice age serum. It comes in a pretty gold box and the bottle itself is really nice. The serum seems to be working well on my skin. Though it’s hard to tell as I’ve recently started using it. I plan on continuing to use it and will consider buying again if it seems to be working. So far I’m really happy with it!

I love this serum/moisturizer. I love the shimmer as it comes out of the bottle and the shimmer and glow it leaves on my skin. It's gentle, absorbs nicely and I love the way my skin looks. It works great under makeup as well. It really just leaves a glowy complexion.
