Amore Pacific Youth Revolution Radiance Concentrator

Through 2-3 different orders, I amassed several bottles of this Amore Pacific Youth Revolution Radiance Concentrator (one 30mL/1fl. oz. full size and 4-5 mini 3mL/0.1fl. oz., all were GWP!) and have been using them since the spring. 

Full size GWP

Mini GWP

 

This is a super moisturizing and rich serum that supposedly whitens. It comes out of the dropper a transparent but viscous, sticky, and oily gel with the same strong perfume as the Youth Revolution Radiance Creme & Masque and Moisture Bound Sleeping Recovery Masque. I only need 5 drops of it to cover my whole face, neck, and decolletage area. The serum goes on a bit slimy, and honestly spring-summer are totally the wrong seasons to use it ^.^ Why? Because it's so rich and moisturizing that there were days I didn't even bother to layer moisturizer on top. So now that it's getting colder, I regret not putting this serum away and save it for this cooler weather. And since I'm already using a full size, I don't have any desire to repurchase another full size.

One minor rant: while the full size bottle is made of heavy plastic, the mini freebies are made of glass. Yep. Those tiny bottles are glass, which to me is counterintuitive. Because both the full size and the minis have glass dropper dispensers, and the oily gel is, well, oily, the tiny dropper would occasionally slip out of my fingers--yes, I totally drop one and it shattered all over my bathroom floor. Not a good idea.

Another perhaps trivial rant: the product name is so silly. What does "Radiance Concentrator" even mean? If the product is supposed to be whitening or brightening, then say that, because "Radiance Concentrator" makes it sound like it's some kind of red laser pointer.
