[Review] Missha Super Aqua Marine Stem Cell Intensive Serum & Other Discoveries

As a user of Biotherm Biopur products for many years, I have been on the hunt for another product that is similar to it. I've never found another product quite like the same ever since Biotherm had discontinued Biopur. Until, (maybe) now. I'm a sucker for ocean/sea skincare products.

I had stumbled upon the Missha Super Aqua Marine Stem Cell Intensive Serum through a sample from another skin care order. I had finished using my serum at the time, and decided to give this a try. I've heard many good reviews about Missha, however, it was my first time using the brand. Just overnight, (as I found the next morning) my face felt plumper and smoother. That's when I decided to get the full sized version.

This serum has a slight floral, almost lemon-y scent, which is quite refreshing. The scent is faint and not strong at all which I quite enjoy (I don't like strong scents). It has a gel-like texture that leaves my skin feeling soft, and hydrated. The consistency of the product is quite light, and it just melts into your skin. From the packaging point of view, this serum is in glass bottle with a pump, which is hygienic. However, it would be difficult getting the last bit of product when you're at the end of the bottle.


Would I (re) purchase: Yes.
 Alternatively, if you’re like me and enjoy the light texture, while not having to spend the big bucks on a product. I would recommend the Nivea Aqua Effect Mattifying Day Care With Ocean Algae & Hydra IQ. I find the texture quite similar to Biotherm Biopur Moisturizer, and the Missha Serum. And yes, I do quite like it, and the price point is great.
