  1. Hydrates, but

    L

    Wanted to love this so much as it works great into the skin after cleansing, but it doesn't seem to do much beyond that. I do have to layer a good amount of moisturizer on top after that. Good for oily skin in summers though as its a very light moisturizer alternative.
  2. Nice

    James

    A nice lightweight hydrator for those who eschew from creams. I typically use under a moisturiser (often Camellia Nut from Aesop) and love the two. Among other hydrating products, it is difficult to attribute hydrating from this product but it seems to be efficacious. Smells lovely (Ylang Ylang indeed) with a glorious texture. Operating the pipette does take some getting used to -- submerging it b...

  3. Great smell & fast absorbing

    Carola

    Tried a sample of this serum and loved it. Smells great, fast absorbing and light serum. Skin feels great, I was going to buy a bottle but it is out of stock. I will buy it as soon as it is available :)
  4. We need more stock soon!

    Dophene

    I was recommended to use this serum as I was looking for some lightweight products. Since using it, I love it, especially the dropper style application and the texture of it. Unfortunately there seems to be no more stock left anywhere at this stage. I guess it does goes to show how popular this product is!
  5. not bad

    cc

    it looks oily but it is not. it is pretty good for oily - combination skin type, however, i do find it a bit drying especially at winter
  6. Love it

    Christina

    Literally does what it says! Hydration in huge quantities and so affordable, especially in the large size, that using excessive amounts so as to be super kind to the neck as well feels almost obligatory.
  7. Good

    Christina

    Really good for summer,love it. Usually skin was oily after all day,not happens to this.
  8. Cured my sun burn

    Cheryl

    I got sunburnt and someone recommended-me this.I used this for a week and my sunburn got better so this is now must have for me. I do have a.bit oily of skin
  9. Hydrating

    Jenny

    Hydrating and refreshing, but its very light, so you need to seal in that hydration quickly after application (using a thicker cream or moisturiser).
  10. no scent, natural and hydrating

    Qianwen

    I tried some samples of this serum, it seems a little bit heavy for my combined skin type and hard to be absorbed, this serum maybe be better for dry skin
  11. Great Serum

    Rielly

    For the amount of product you get, and the basis of it, the serum is a great basic hydrating product that helps soothe the skin quite well. 100ML is a lot of product to get through, and after nearly a month of use, only made a 1/5 dent into the product. Amazing for value, soothing and of course hydrating as a basic hydrating serum.
  12. Good

    Jane

    soft and hydrated after using
  13. Holy grail

    Tahnia

    One stop for hydration and suppleness. Has an amazing texture, a thicker serum that absorbs easily and instantly plumps my skin. I am 31 with combination skin.

    Kristie

    Nice and lightweight, left my skin feeling fresh and clear.
  15. Lightweight

    Claire

    It is definitely very lightweight as it is marketed for, its not greasy at all. however, sometimes, it doesn't hydrate the skin as much, and my skin feels a bit dry after applying it (i have oily skin btw)
  16. amazing

    rach

    left my skin feeling smooth and clean absolutely love this brand and all its products
  17. Good hydrating serum

    Cassandra

    A nice hydrating serum. Not my fave though, I acutally find Aesop a bit over-hyped.
  18. Lightweight and hydrating

    JAYDE

    First time using this serum. It feels a bit sticky when first applied but dried quickly and felt amazing on my skin. I have dry skin and this really hydrates it. I will usually put it on in the morning before primer/foundation.
  19. Very good

    Kiki

    I bought this item more than 10 times. Suitable for oil skin.
  20. Perfect for combination skin, particularly in a humid climate

    jasper

    I've been using this for over a year now, and it has effectively managed oil and shine throughout the day. The scent is gorgeous and a bottle last ages too.
  21. Refreshing

    Sipei

    The price very lower than others website, and The product is very moisturizing. That's so good for my skin.
  22. Smells great

    Ali

    Smells amazing but not sure I noticed much difference after using it for a few days
  23. recommend

    jevenee

    This product is good to people who has acne and it is suitable for me to use in the summer. Recommend to purchase.
  24. Hydrating and soothing

    Pia

    This bottle lasts a while because I use it sparingly. You only need one drop to get the hydration you need. It's suitable for my sensitive skin and gives me a soft glow for the day!
  25. Super hydrating

    Kate

    A tiny bit of this serum goes so far. My skin feels refreshed and smooth after using it. I can't say that I like the scent, but as far as hydration goes it's an amazing product.
  26. Felt amazing on my skin

    Jenn

    I received a sample of this in my last order and used it straight away. My skin felt amazing. It has a beautiful scent.
  27. Good for oily skin types

    ALW

    I received a sample of this product and I was super excited to try this brand. My favourite aspect of this product is that is lightweight and mattifying/absorbent. Perfect for oily skin like mine. I found it worked really well to counteract some of my serums which make me look very shiny, so that was awesome. However, unfortunately this product is very sticky, which I didn't enjoy the texture off....

  28. Lightweight facial oil

    Casey

    Nice smelling oil that is absorbed super quickly and leaves the skin feeling nice
  29. did not love this

    leigh

    I did not love this one, did not find it to be all that hydrating on my skin
  30. Amazing!

    Ali

    I received a sample size of this serum. On application is quite tacky and sticky on the skin, however it dries fast, and it smells great. I did feel the need to follow with a moisturizer. In the morning my skin felt so soft and moisturized!! I will definitely purchase a full size in summer as it would be a great light weight serum.
  31. Good lightweight oil

    Casey

    Great light weight oil, super fast absorbed and smells really good!! Good size as well.
  32. Lightweight hydrating serum

    Tennille

    This is too light for me! It smells strongly of ylang-ylang and the main ingredient is hydrogenated castor oil which is acne causing for me. It wouldn't be my choice
  33. Great for Humid Weather

    Jaimie

    In the humid Gold Coast weather, I find this to be a great moisturising serum that helps me keep a fairly matte complexion. I have naturally oily skin so I find this a good base to have on underneath my make-up.
  34. Amazing

    Sharni

    This is the perfect serum. So hydrating, my skin absorbs it instantly
  35. Amazing serum

    Tc321

    Super lightweight and sinks in nicely. Smell great just a bit pricey.
  36. amazing

    Lara

    providing light hydration and also reducing the stickiness of the skin surface, great product for dry skin without clogging the pores
  37. A great alternative

    Laura

    Im really enjoying this hydrating oil. A little goes a long! Ive changed from a cream moisturiser to this one and its really changing how I look at skincare. I think this is best for dryer and cooler climate. But it is lightweight enough for more humid climates.
  38. Coming to love the product

    Diego

    I purchased the product out of curiosity, since I have oily/combination Skin and I was looking for something light-weight but still hydrating. This product is not overly hydrating but for my skin type this works just perfect.
  39. perfect for summer

    l

    This is perfect for me during these hot months. It doesnt feel heavy at all but locks in hydration
  40. Lightweight as described

    Jessie

    I have combination but dehydrated skin and I found the texture of this product to be very lightweight, silky, with only slight tackiness once it dried down. It made my skin feel hydrated but not heavy. The product is only lightly scented which I appreciate as I prefer skincare that isn’t too fragranced.
  41. Love it!

    Simone

    . Perfect for all season. Definitely repurchase. This serum is very moisturising without sticky and greasy
  42. The best serum I've used

    TTW

    This is the perfect serum for me, I've got oily skin and this product is perfect for that. It's very lightweight and doesn't make me shiny at all. The price is pretty steep, but I love the results. Definitely recommend!
  43. Wow, what a surprise

    B2

    I had no expectations with this sample, but geez did I like it! Super hyrating for my skin and I felt like the consistency was gorgeous. This serum really does what it says.
  44. Too lightweight on its own

    Janet05

    Smells and feels absolutely wonderful, but not sure i would use it on its own for my combination skin. It definitely provides the hydration, but need something else after applying this one to lock in the hydration.
  45. was alright

    Lydia

    I've tried a lot of hydrating serums due to my dry skin and while I liked this one, considering the price, it didn't work better than other serums I've tried and it wasn't all that hydrating either
  46. it is ok

    shi

    It is very light and has fresh smell, but it is not my one. I have sensitive and dry skin. It is too light for me, even in summer. I won't purchase again. It suits oily skin I believe.
  47. Ok but not worth the price

    Imogen

    This serum is quite sticky and difficult to blend on face at first. It eventually dries down and is quite nourishing. Not oily at all. Good for sensitive skin! The bottle design is terrible, the opening is too small and the dropper pushes product over the sides. I typically wouldn’t spend this much on a serum so this was a bit of a waste. Had to be really careful with application.
  48. Light

    Yun

    This serum is very moisturising without sticky and greasy. Perfect for all season. Definitely repurchase.
  49. Worth the try!

    Esther

    Love it! The serum that makes you hydrated even without using any moisturizer. Happy to discover this!
  50. Sticky residue

    Caity

    Felt a bit sticky after applying which was okay at night but not in AM
  51. very lightweight but suits for winter time

    Xi

    A bit sticky on my skin, and I prefer using it in winter, more smooth. As a serum, the price is ok, but a bit expensive as a moisturiser. I wear double layers in winter and it uses quite quickly. It is good coz it never irritates my skin.
  52. Good for oily skin

    Ariane

    A very nice and lighter oil. If you are quite oily, or the weather is warm, sometimes i just apply this at night and let it soak in and go to bed.
  53. Bit sticky

    Chantelle

    I am a huge fan of aesop products but not this one, found it to be very sticky
  54. didn't do anything

    Viv

    this didn't do anything for my skin. it absorbs fast but after using it for weeks, I didn't notice a difference in hydration or texture
  55. Great alternative to cream moisturisers

    Zia

    This is a great moisturising serum. It goes on really lightly, doesn’t pill when you add layers of moisture or makeup on top. I imagine it would work well in humid climates too. It doesn’t make me shiny like some other moisturisers do.
  56. Light and moisturizing

    Catherine

    This serum is super light and absorbant. It is great for days or nights that you feel like something light on your skin. I have combination skin and when I sleep with it over night I feel like I wake up with my skin very clear and dewy. Very happy with this serum. I would suggest a heavier Aesop serum for use under make up.
  57. Not the serum for me!

    Shelby

    I purchased this to use in summer when my combination skin tends to be quite oily and my regular moisturisers are too heavy. I thought the quantity of this product for the price was quite reasonable and decided to give it a go. Unfortunately this is definitely not the serum for me- my face felt a little but sticky/filmy after using, it didn't seem to sink into the skin like other serums do. I also...

  58. Oily skin friendly

    Anna

    Really good for oily skin. I feel like creams are usually thick on my skin, so this is a great alternative. The size (100ml) is really good too
  59. disappointing

    Lydia

    This product was disappointing for me, given the price point I expected a sustained hydrating finish but it was much too lightweight and to be honest I've tried better hydrating serums for way less
  60. too light

    Lily

    I found this too light to be used on it's own. It's hydrating but not more so than other serums I've tried that are less pricey
  61. Hydrating and lightweight

    Mia

    Light on sensitive skin, lasts overnight and not too tacky on skin. My skin Freaked out a little when first used due to oil base. But skin adjusted after second week.
  62. Perfect for oily skin

    Aiden

    I have struggled for ages to find something to that didn't congest my pores and leave my face feeling greasy. This is hands down the best skin care item I've ever owned.
  63. Extremely hydrating

    Abel

    I find this to be extremely hydrating. It's perfect for everyday use. It is, as it says, lightweight on the skin. The only downfall is the price, but I think it's worth the investment.
  64. not sticky at all!

    Selina

    I would never use serums because I found them too sticky for my liking, but this one is so different! It's so hydrating for my skin and never leaves it feeling oily, highly recommend!
  65. Hydrating! No sticky residue!

    Valerie

    Really like this product as i dislike 'serums' that leave your face feeling clammy & sticky. Feel refreshed after using this one
  66. yes

    Matilda

    lightweight and absorbs into my skin quickly
  67. Oily skin

    Anna

    This is good for oilier skin - lightweight hydration. Might not be hydrating enough for dry skin as it provides less hydration that more heavy duty serums
  68. Heavenly Hydrating

    Maddy

    I love this serum it is lightweight and very hydrating. I love the feel of it and my skin looks great after using it. I highly recommend this serum to all my girlfriends (and guy friends)
  69. Nice and lightweight

    Laurel

    I find this super hydrating. It leaves my skin feeling amazing. Will definitely purchase it again, I feel that it's been a great investment.
  70. So lovely

    Lachie

    Lightweight and breathable moisturiser for mattifying. Gorgeous primer also! Highly recommended for oily/problematic t-zone area
  71. Great

    Yoshie

    This is a very light serum and texture is quite watery which makes so so easy to absorb into the skin. I have combination skin and often in air-conditioned place which makes my skin quite dry but yet oily. I had used it day and night under a moisturizer in the last 4 months and really like it. It keeps my skin hydrated without the greasiness. Excellent to use in humid weather.
  72. very hydrating

    perfecting skin

    i got this as a sample and i was in a search for a nice hydraulic acid serum. i found out that this can be used as one. it is super hydrating for my dry skin. totally recommended.
  73. Good for dry skin

    Ellie

    This soaks right in and makes my skin feel so hydrated!
  74. As it says, lightweight

    Ariel

    The serum is too lightweight for my skin, especially around the cheeks. However i imagine that it would be a great product for people who prefer serum that does not feel sticky at all after applying it onto the face.
  75. Idea for oily skin

    Jane

    Lightweight and breathable moisturiser for mattifying. Gorgeous primer also! Highly recommended for oily/problematic t-zone area
  76. Idol for oily skin

    Xiao

    Non greasy at all, quick absorption and never clogged pores. This is one of my favourite products in summer. The moisturizer after is no needed.
  77. Instant hydration

    Rachel

    Absorbs fast and instantly hydrates for soft skin
  78. AESOP LIGHTWEIGHT FACIAL HYDRATING SERUM

    Lily

    My face feels smoother, well-balanced, well-hydrated...and my vanity table is thankful for its presence (aesthetically speaking!)
  79. Not the best

    Alex

    This serum is nice. It's VERY light and absorbs fast into the skin. It didn't really provide me with lasting hydration though and I didn't see much of a difference after weeks of use, so not sure if I will repurchase
  80. lovely

  82. Great lightweight formula

    Leah

    I’m really picky with serums - well all skincare really. I hate residue or greasy feelings, and have a sensitive sense of smell. This serum is great though - it’s light, easily absorbed, and layers well under foundation.

    For ref I have 43 year old dry skins
  83. Good

    Peta

    It's lightweight and absorbed very fast! Without any stickness! I'm using as daytime serum. My skin look calm and moistured recently. I will be using it continuously!
  84. Works well

    Tanya

    This is a very light serum and it is a fantastic formula for oily skin types though for my dry skin i have to use a moisturiser on top as it isn't enough for my dry skin. Though it is amazing is increasing the texture and suppleness of my skin which is why i continue to use it. Highly Recommend this for all skin types.
  85. Beautiful and hydrating!

    Tessa

    This is hands down the best hydrating serum I have ever tried! It's beautifully lightweight yet insanely hydrating and it smells divine! I live in a humid climate and needed something light for my oily skin as cream moisturisers tend to be too heavy and never sink into my skin, but this serum, although can feel a little sticky directly after applying, is plumping, feels amazing and after it dries ...

    Jenna

    The aloe Vera is cool and light. Most will need to use a moisturiser over the top.
  88. Lightweight as described

    Ariel

    Got a sample pack and i absolutely love the smell of it! It is lightweight as described and does the hydration job properly. However with the same price you could probably get a better product by other brands. To me this is just a luxury moisturising product for people with a few extra bucks to spend (treat yourself!).
  89. Great Product

    Bianca

    I have oily combination skin and my skin is easily congested when using creams, so I like to use oils and serums. This serum feels great going onto the face and I did see great results. It is quick thick but works well with the translucent serum.

    I have sensitive skin and this is really nice and hydrating and makes my skin feel very nourished.

    Amanda

    This is an excellent light serum which can be used alone as well as under creams. Very hydrating and has a nice scent
  95. So good!

    JaneL

    This is perfect for hot summer days or a great light layering serum under moisturiser or to mix with an oil for a breathable night hydrator. It's not heavily fragranced but it is a fresh clean scent. Worth it!
  96. Great summertime moisturiser!

    Kelsey

    I really love this product for the summer time! It is a VERY light moisturiser that does not clog my pores, and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. I like to wear this under my tinted moisturiser in the day time, or with another hydrating serum (to combat early signs of ageing) in the evening. The Aesop range smells amazing, too.
  97. Love it

    Neesha

    I use it both day and night. You don't need much at all and it goes on smooth and feels light on the skin. Highly recommend.
  98. Great for non-greasy hydration

    Naomi

    This serum feels super luxurious on the skin. Smells delicious. You do need to be quick to work it into the skin though as it is quite sticky at first. It is quick drying though so doesn't stay sticky for long at all. Great for sensitive skin like mine and doesn't make me break out like a lot of products do.
  99. Great!

    Reb

    I have been using this product for a long time. Previously it was known as "oil-free serum", in this timing last year it was changed to its current name. New formula changes a little bit, but in general it's quite friendly to combination to oily skin.
    My suggestion for anyone who's interested in this product is: do a skin test first. This helps to know your skin type cause this product defin...

I had avoided this brand for quite a while as I hate all the citrus, lavender, peppermint etc. in their products, but someone turned me onto this - which I love. It has a slight fragrance, but nothing unbearable, and it works really well as a non-oily hydrating serum. Plus it is super inexpensi...
