My thoughts:
I thought it was pretty alright. I liked the opening the most cos there's only a small hole. Meaning it won't leak out and cause a horrible mess/ wastage of product :D and I liked the packaging- sleek and elegant.
As for its effectiveness, i thought it was pretty ok. It made my skin feel hydrated although i was slightly concerned by its low sodium hyaluronate percentage. It could've been better if it had left a smooth tingling/ refreshing feeling that i was looking for.
Overall, I'd say its worth it. It's not bad and it only costs $13.50 so why not give it a try?

Dermatologist tested. Allergy tested. Oil-free. Non-comedogenic. Made in China. Expiry date: 14/10/2011. 30ml.
My thoughts:
It came with a pump dispenser, which was pretty handy to use. It should take 2 or 3 pumps for it to come out.
After applying it, I realised that it form a layer on top of my skin and did not appear to have been absorbed by my skin. After a while, it became sticky, and it was difficult to spread moisturiser on my skin. :( And I woke up with an extremely oily face the next morning.
The thing that I liked about Neutrogena Hydro Boost Essence was that it had a very nice, soothing smell that calms you down.
Overall, I think this is more suitable for people with dry skin. I think it would wonderfully hydrate their skin. Otherwise, if you have oily or combination skin, you can safely skip this step and jump straight onto moisturiser. It retails at $16.90.
