This serum is definitely one of the best products I have purchased from The Moms co. (not very impressed with their protein shampoo).
I've been using this serum for over a year now and it has never irritated my skin (which is combination type, prone to occasional breakouts and dryness).
I do not have issues with fine lines so cannot comment on that regard, but it certainly suits my skin which is need of an ultra light product which is hydrating and soothing at the same time.
What I like most about the product is that it glides on and spreads Very easily and smoothly (reminds me of snail mucin), leaving a very light film behind which is not suffocating but hydrating, probably why I have never used more than 2-3 drops for my face as less product is required to cover the entire face.
Although individuals with dry skin may have to top it up with a heavier moisturiser or facial oil suited for their skin as it is not of a rich texture, hence not moisturising enough.
Personally, I like to apply it on damp skin after cleansing and layering it underneath a regular moisturiser then dabbing a few drops of Evening Primrose oil on top to seal in the hydration, and it works like a charm for me.
As far as the ingredients are concerned, I am very impressed with the ingredient list, for a person like me who is very strict and picky when it comes to assessing the ingredients on their safety and purpose , it's a very huge point.
I love that all the ingredients are pretty straightforward and directed to help with soothing and retaining the skin barrier. (a quick search on the Internet will help provide a deeper insight on the function of all the ingredients)
Additionally, there's no fragrance added, which I always steer clear of, although it does contain Orange essential oil, but I could hardly detect its presence as it's not very pronounced and doesn't irritate my nose or skin.
I must say it will not transform the skin dramatically, but the changes are subtle, and I like it more as a Maintenance product for my skin rather than expecting it to tackle any issue (such as occasional acne marks), and it has definitely helped me keep it in a healthy state.
Overall, it has a good texture and spreadability (emulsion form), offers lightweight hydration, is safe, soothing and non irritating. Hence, works great as a maintenance product for me.

UPDATE : So I happened to run out of this serum and decided to continue with a very basic skincare routine without it for a while, just to find that most of my whiteheads (which had always been residing in small numbers on my face, mostly around the eyes and on the cheeks) had disappeared!
Although it wasn't a very huge concern for me, but for years I thought it was something normal, while it wasn't! And since nothing else had changed in my routine, unfortunately, I'll have to credit it to this serum. It was an unexpected discovery indeed. I truly wanted to continue using it for the soothing effects.
Hence I'll be taking no chances now and will switch to more targeted serums from wonderful Indian brands and a basic moisturiser.
As for Moms co., I'll stick with their keratin range which I'm still a fan of. But as far as skin care is concerned, I feel like it's high time I explored other options.
