La Roche Posay Derm AOX

As I now tend to focus more on skin care, I decided to get La Roche Posay Derm AOX, because it promised to give my skin this beautiful radiance. And I am not sure if it is really just my imagination, or this products works wonders on my skin (but you know, sufficient sleep helps a lot, too :-)). I got it via a friend for approx 20 EURO, I have not seen it being sold in Belgium.
Official info states:
"DERM AOX Serum combines anti-glycation Carnosine with a Pycnogenol®-based antioxidant complex. Carnosine, a medically-studied anti-glycation molecule, acts as a trap for the glucose molecules responsible for the glycation of dermal proteins, limiting the rigidification of collagen fibres and elastin. Pycnogenol®, a powerful antioxidant that traps free radicals, is combined with two other leading antioxidants, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, to neutralise free radicals before they attack the cells. Every day, the skin is more radiant, wrinkles are visibly diminished."

The serum is brown, and I only use it at night as it does not seem to dry quickly enough before foundation is applied.
