Mario Badescu Hydrating Serum: Blue Basic
This serum is perfect when I want some light moisture after cleansing, a quick hydration hit before SPF or night cream. I often use it after rinsing off the MB Whitening or Super Collagen mask. Not greasy or oily, absorbs quickly in my sensitive skin. The soft blue unscented liquid gel disappears immediately. Convenient plastic tube is hygienic and travel friendly. Great year round basic.

The serum is somewhat sticky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The serum is somewhat sticky even when dried and I haven't felt the same 'glow' as when using an oil serum. I would not buy again.

Great!!!!
This is a very nice serum. You only need to use a tiny bit and the effect feels nourishing and smooth. I have super sensitive skin and this is amazing and lasts all day long!

Works wonders
I will be using this again for sure. This product on my face works perfect, it leaves my skin very hydrating but does not make my t zone oily at all. It leaves it very plump and a little goes a long way. Highly recommended.

Little miracles
Excellent product. A little goes a long way to keep my skin looking fresh and hydrated all day. Although there is only one ounce, it seems to last for a long time. I didn't keep exact track, but at least 4 months... maybe 6.
