I finally got my hands on that famous 'curse serum'! With my extremely dry skin flaring up, I didn't have the luxury of choosing other products. At first application, it truly lives up to its name - it stings so much you might actually curse! That's probably why they call it the 'curse serum'. For the first two weeks, I applied it despite the intense tingling. But after consistently using it for over two weeks, around the third week, I noticed the stinging sensation significantly decreased. However, if I went out on a windy day, it would sting again in the evening. After about two months of use, I really felt the improvement. Usually, I need to apply toner right after washing my face, but one day I couldn't apply anything due to my baby. To my surprise, my skin, which used to feel insanely dry and tight if I didn't apply anything immediately after cleansing, didn't feel tight at all! I did rush to apply it eventually, but I truly felt in my skin how much it had improved with this serum.
Due to its oil-like consistency, it tends to drip a bit when using the dropper. I place a cotton pad underneath while using it, but it's not a major issue.
It's not exactly a pro tip, but when my skin feels particularly dehydrated, I apply an extra layer generously. Also, make sure to use it together with your toner for best results!
