Secret Key is a new brand in Korea.
They're more focusing on skin care, and many of their items are dupe of international brand like Estee Lauder, SKII, etc.
This one that I'm going to review is a dupe for Estee Lauder, too..
Even if they can't be the same, but the concept is the same.
The packaging is totally a dupe. The price is way way less than Est**, but the ingredients, even if I don't get the list, I read that it's different, with the price gap, they couldn't be the same.
Anyway, it's a success for Secret Key.
It is one of their best selling item.
You can get it from Sparkling Gee (Indonesian only) for IDR 125.000. Very cheap for a serum!!!
There is also one more that usually get compared to Estee, it's from Missha.
I'm planning to check it out too, it looks promising, but this one is really cheaper.

Description
Their range attend to free of paraben and its friends. It's a benefit, with that kind of price, it's good.
Packaging
The box is very simple. Just an ordinary thin box with glossy paper.
As you open, there is a partition that keep the bottle in the right position.
This is the bottle, the color and the shape is totally the same with Estee Lauder. I'm a little bit surprised when I saw this product for the very first time.
It's a brown glass bottle with gold printing on it.
It's the pipette for the serum made from rubber. I love serum with pipette, it's kinda cute and fun to play with.. LOL..
It's the front and back bottle. The short description on the front bottle and something in Korean at the back with their website.
Texture
This is the pipette, transparent, and you have to push it to suck the liquid and push it again to use it. I love this kind because you can control of how much you want to get to use it.
The liquid is white transparent. It isn't the same with Estee Lauder because it's whiter, while Est** is pinker.
The texture is light for serum, and absorbed fast into your skin.
The result is good too, I can feel that my skin is moisturized and softer.
For that kind of price, ain't bad at all. Really worth to try, especially if you're on a budget and wanting a night serum.
Pros
- Cheap for a night serum and good quality
- Free of paraben, etc
- Good glass bottle with pump
Cons
- Hard to get, must buy from Korea, not many sites sell this brand
- Not really creative, packaging is the same with the international brands
Overall
I give it to my Mum, because it's like Estee, she loves it, even though the quality isn't the same and the result isn't as amazing as Estee but it's worth the money. You get what you pay, right.
Will repurchase and considering to buy the day serum too that looks like Lancome.
So.. do you want to try,
buy it for saving money or saving money to buy the better one?

Came into this site as i am looking for the ingredient list for the Secret Key Multi Cell Night Repair Ampoule, from a PDF file of all Secret Key product listing, i read the Secret Key Hydro Lifting is discontinued so if you are keen in trying that product may have to do so before it is gone for good.
