Did the store mark out those barcodes? From my experience they do that for testers or returned products which people have tried to re sell :(

There are some ingredients here I'm familiar with.

I suppose you have to ask yourself what you were hoping to use the serum FOR. If you wanted a moisturizing serum, then yes...this is one with good ingredients.
If you were hoping for anti-aging...ehhh...I'm not so impressed.
What strikes me instead looking at these ingredients is what it doesn't contain; More peptides and some ceramides. Allantoin, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Panthenol,....all absent from what I noticed.
I don't see any Vitamin C or Retinol...I don't know. It seems to focus largely on hydrating skin with a nod to a bit of repairing agents.

The night cream is nearly identical to the serum. I can't recall seeing Titanium Dioxide in a night cream before as it is usually used to protect skin from a broad spectrum angle.
The paraffin is in quite a high percentage. Not a fan of that.
The alcohol is fatty and helps to keep skin hydrated, so that's good.
The caprylic Capric triglycerides are a win here. It is found is some very high end, excellent products and that's always good to see, but neither formula WOW's me.

There's nothing "Youth Activating" about them in my opinion. Again, I am not an expert. My own honest opinion is that I don't see anything in either formula that strikes me as powerful or impressive anti-aging formulas.
They have a few great moisturizing agents, but it seems to be very limiting regarding what I personally seek in my own products. The fragrance added can be irritating sometimes. Luckily, it's very low on the ingredient list and so it is minimal.

If these were expensive, I'd consider looking elsewhere. This may keep skin soft/hydrated which IS part of anti-aging, but I expect much more from a serum and cream that claims to be anti-aging.

If you are pairing this with Retinol or AHAs...a Vitamin C serum it could then become part of a bigger regimen, but again, I'd examine what their claims are verses what you are getting.
I'd be interested in hearing what the other members views are.

@Rozberry.. Thank you so much for details.. I was looking for a hydrating product along with anti aging properties. so am happy that it scores well on hydrating part. I am 30 and thanks to my genes that I look younger than that. I think I will pair of with retinol as off now and once I use up these products will switch to some other brand.
I was thinking of nutriganics range by bodyshop but was a bit more expensive than this. May be next time I will go for that after going through reviews.
Again thanks for helping me out.
