Great hydrating boost!

I've never really seen a difference while using a serum versus not using one, but I still really enjoy using them! This one is very creamy so it doesn't dry out my face like other brands do. Also, it doesn't make my face sticky like other ones which is great. I feel like it adds extra hydration to the face, which is always great, and it smells awesome. It also feels like it made my face ''brighter''.

Can live with it, can live without it.

This did help to smooth out the texture of my skin and give it an appearance of radiance. Unfortunately I had to mix it with my other serum as it wasn’t very moisturizing. This might work better as a primer under make-up with added benefits rather than a “nourishing” serum. If your skin has a problem with dimethicone/ silicones I’d suggest staying away from this product as there are many silicones in this “serum”. I #gotitfree and I appreciate the opportunity to try it out :) but I’m unsure whether or not I will repurchase in the future.

Glowing

Within a week of using Neutrogena Bright Boost Illuminating Serum together with other neutrogena Bright boost product, my skin glows and lightens. This has a pearl like glittery appearance and very lightly soft texture. Light scent which I like. I used 4 drops of it and spread evenly on my face. Absorbs quickly. Thank you Chickadvisor and Neutrogena.

Not sure I'd buy it.

I was fortunate to have been selected by Chickadvisor to test this product for free.

This serum is milky with shimmer, which I think is the 'illuminating' part of the product description. I don't see the point of the shimmer because it just looks like glitter on my face -- like fallout from eyeshadow. I don't think it's necessary especially since I use serums at night. At first it felt heavy on my face. So each night I used less and less, and I believe less is key for those of us with oily skin. You have to have a light hand because this plus the gel cream can feel too heavy. After a week of using the entire regimen I have had smoother skin but I don't think it's due to the serum. I think the serum has evened out the appearance of my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I had quite a bit on my chin, jaw, and cheeks, and I've noticed the redness has been greatly reduced since starting this line. Overall, it's an okay product, but I likely wouldn't purchase because I can't tell what exactly this has done for my skin. I feel like there are more affordable serums on the market to target specific skin issues as opposed to this one.

Neutrogena bright boost illuminating serum

This is a great product for your anti aging skin. The serum works well around the eyes and mouth lines. It is non-irritating and lightly scented. Easy application and lasts quite awhile.

It's okay

I didn't really notice a difference. Nice consistency but kind of sits on top of the skin. The smells a little strong for me. I dont know if I would buy this.

Not sure I'd buy it...

The serum bottle is a decent size and the applicator makes it to use. However a ton of it gets wasted on the applicator stick. smells a but strange and feels heavy when used with the gel cream.

I enjoyed this one!

This serum was light and absorbed nicely, a little pricey but worth it! Light fragrance and made my face feel nice and brightened! I would recommend this!

Great serum

This Illuminating Serum has a gel cream formula which is very hydrating and great to use in the morning and evening. It helps improve your skin tone and texture and leaves dull skin looking brighter and refreshed. I definitely recommend

Gritty Serum

I've had serums from Neutrogena in the past with the same style of bottle with dropper and they worked a lot better than this one.
Maybe the bottle I got is defective? The dropper barely picks anything up. This leads to several insertions to withdraw product, which can cause product to spill onto the outside. Where, if it dries along the rim of the bottle, becomes a gritty crust.
There is A LOT of shimmer/sparkle in this product. (Hence the gritty texture).
It has a strong fragrance, some may like it but I find it too strong.
It does not absorb into my skin. It seems to just sit on top. And when layered with the other products in the regimen contributes to the pilling effect I've noticed if I rub my face, even gently, or along the hairline.
While my face looks brighter I think it's primarily a result of the shimmer in the product and the way it sits on the skin creating a sheen.
Not something I would choose to purchase in the future.
