Product Packaging Feedback

"I am writing to share feedback regarding the packaging of the MD Restoring Power-C Serum. I absolutely love the serum and have been very pleased with its performance. However, my only concern is with the new packaging. Since the bottle is not transparent, it is difficult to see how much product remains, which makes it challenging to know when to purchase a replacement. Aside from this issue, I am very satisfied with the product and will continue to use it. I hope you might consider this feedback for future packaging improvements. Thank you for your time and for creating such a great product."
