Love this serum! Already have two backups.
This unscented serum feels so lightweight but keeps my skin super hydrated and calm. My skin barrier feels stronger and smoother since I started using it. It absorbs fast, layers well with other products, and never feels sticky. I do two layers after my retinol and my skin is so soft and glowy in the morning. I love it so much I’ve already stocked up with two more bottles! It's such a great value.

Good starting serum for acne prone skin
I have very sensitive skin, but this did great for my skin. I did not break out and i felt this laong with a good moisturizer did beautiful for my skin. Its a great starting point if you want to get some hydration on your skin.

I’m in a dessert so my skin needed a little boost of hydration and this serum was perfect! I have super acne prone sensitive skin and it didn’t break me out!

Good quality
I like the price and it’s very moisturizing without feeling greasy. It’s a great alternative to pricey K-beauty products. I do skin flooding and I go through a lot of products. This does well with other serums and moisturizers . It’s not sticky and absorbs well .

Good product but doesn't gel well
I believe this is a good product, however it doesn't gel well with any other product and it comes off as white dirt like residue that I have to remove. It would be great if absorbency quality can improve and that's why I can't give the product higher rating.

Always repurchase
I love how this makes my skin feel and look. Plus the price point is affordable. I always have a back up so I never run out.

Sticky
I was hoping for a better outcome with this serum but the last few weeks just couldn't wait until it was gone. I used a pea size portion every morning and night. It goes on sticky but dries quickly and leaves your face feeling like it needs a good moisturizer. It actually felt like it dried my skin out and I definitely realized no benefit from it, more like the opposite. It states in the description it helps with dullness, redness and dryness and unfortunately my skin got drier and duller. This bottle lasted me two months but I will not be purchasing another and I do not recommend.

I’ve been using this serum for a little while and I do like it. It has a lightweight texture, absorbs quickly, and feels gentle on the skin. It definitely helps with hydration and barrier support, but I’m not sure it’s quite enough on its own. I usually layer it with hyaluronic acid and the Medicube Pink PDRN serum, and I’ve recently started microneedling too – so I think everything is working together nicely. My skin feels stronger, plumper, and overall more balanced, which is encouraging (fingers crossed it keeps going that way!). On its own, it’s maybe a bit too light for me, but as part of a layered routine it’s a solid addition.

I’ve been using this product for a couple of months now as part of my daily skincare routine, and it’s made a noticeable difference. My skin feels much smoother, more hydrated, and nicely plumped. I use it both in the morning and evening, and like most products from this brand, it’s very gentle and effective. The quality is great, and the price is very reasonable considering the results. Highly recommend if you’re looking to boost your skincare routine with something that actually works!

This product is great as a second serum step in your routine. I used it to replace my moisturiser as felt it was thick enough to seal and hydrate the skin. It also seems to help with my redness and rosacea. The product itself is promising leaving my skin soft hydrated and sealed however the pump is poor. I also found this product helped some barrier issues I had on my elbows so used it as a healing balm. Its thick but not greasy it has a gloopy serum gel like texture so would work well for oily skin.

I noticed a difference within 2 weeks! My skin is already looking more plump, hydrated and smooth. I’m on my second pot already.
