Silky and effective
I used a sample size of this serum over a couple of days. It has a lovely silky texture that melts into the skin. Even after a couple of uses, I noticed that my skin looked smoother. This is a great retinol alternative for sensitive skin as other products I have tries can cause redness and irritation. I agree with others that the smell is not great but it is not as pungent as most retinol products. I would definitely consider purchasing this.

Nice product but fragrance distracting
This was a hit and miss product for me. The serum itself is gentle and a milky consistency. My skin did feel tighter after use but dry so as recommended I did put my moisturiser on top but had to reapply after an hour as my skin was still dry. While it did feel like it firmed up my skin I didn’t feel it looked any different. Love the fact it’s organic and my sensitive skin did not react however the scent is just off putting and I started dreading putting it on. For this reason would not buy again.
Best Use: Firming

- 1 star for the fragrance
I've tested a sample of the Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Serum and it's the first product by Kora that I try. I'm positively impressed! The sample contained enough for a couple of days' use both morning and evening. The serum has a milky texture that is absorbed quickly. The instructions recommended applying moisturiser on top. I could see that the texture of my skin is smoother and more uniform. The only issue for me was the smell which was strong, unnatural and generally offputting, but if you can look past that, this is a very good product.
Best Use: Uneven Skin Texture, Anti-Aging

Great product but challenging packaging
I like the product! It is light but rich. My skin absorbs the product quickly. I do find the packaging a bit challenging to use. The bottle though looks cute is not the easiest to use. I would purchase the product again in particular if it is on sale/offer.
Best Use: Reduce Dullness, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Great vegan alternative
I'm glad I gave this serum a shot, it's given my skin a much needed boost. It's got a nice, silky texture and while I'm glad it absorbs into the skin quickly it does take quite a bit of it to cover my face and neck. I've been using it for less than a week but I'm already seeing an improvement in my skins texture and elasticity. Over all, I'd definetly say its worth a try.
