Meaningful Beauty Youth Activating Melon Serum

Love this product, but don’t like having it delivered when I don’t need a refill. Really like being able to buy it WHEN I need it.

I had been using Cellfood, but it started turning my skin into paper. I needed something gentle for long term use, and the melon extract and lifting eye cream are the two most valuable items in my home. My light wrinkles have filled in and my skin tone has improved. I’ve reversed about 5 years of aging. I also use the melon extract on my hands and dry fingers and around my ankles. It’s a bit expensive, so I cut out a week’s worth of Starbucks to budget.😊

I’ve seen the infomercials on TV for years and curiosity got the better of me.
It’s not a terrible product, but it did not live up to the hype. The packaging is visually attractive, it looks nice on your vanity but that’s little more than window dressing. I’d prefer more product to extra frills. The design of the pump is flawed. It’s supposed to twist open and click so you can press the pump and then twist it back again to close. It wouldn’t clicked open though, and the pump kept closing every time I pressed down to dispense it.
The disappearing pump is another unnecessary bit of window dressing to begin with, so the fact that it kept malfunctioning and interfering with the dispensing and use of the actual product, that made it all the more annoying.
Nobody buys serums based on how the bottle is going to look, sitting on their bathroom counter. Frankly the design of the bottle is what took away from the product, overall. The bottle’s design cuts down on the amount of actual serum that’s there to be used and really that is what it is there for.
The more packing/ less product trick is nothing new. It’s been done by many other manufacturers in the past and that’s almost always done by design and it’s probably what’s being done here too. This is not something that fools anyone or goes by customers unnoticed though, and they should be aware of that.
As for the product: It looks like a generously sized container from the outside but it’s probably less than a month’s worth, even with once-daily use. In short, it’s cleverly designed to look like a high-end product and a good value for the sale price, but it’s actually quite expensive based on the quality of the product and amount that you’re truly getting.
In all it was a decent serum, but it was not a standout by any means. The scent was minimal upon application. The scent is virtually undetectable once it’s absorbed anyway. It didn’t really leave skin feeling all that firm or hydrated though, so based on that I’m unlikely to reorder.

This size doesn’t last one month as it suggests. It only lasted about 7 days and I won’t order it again.
