Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. While this #powerserum boasts an out of this world formula and testimonial, the ingredients speak for themselves with the top ten falling short of the active ingredients that support their claims. For me, the price tag is steep and if I am going to spend money on a good serum, the top 5-10 ingredients need to pack a punch-not just be fillers, glycerin and water. What are your thoughts?
