Bought this on sale - pretty pricy if it wasn't on sale, especially if I'm not sure what Aquatide or any of their fancy tech are, but I do see this product contains niacinimide :) I really like it for smoothing out the skin and how it plumps it up. It has a light pleasant scent - not sure what the source of the fragrance is but it hasn't irritated my skin. I don't know that I'd purchase it at its regular price, but it's a product I know I'll finish the entire bottle and decide if it's a repurchase at that point. But for now, I'm pretty satisfied!
