I have super sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin with closed comedones, but this doesn't trigger blemishes or make my skin more sensitive. When I only use moisturizer after toner, my skin gets oily quickly. But using this serum before moisturizer seems to reduce the oiliness. It's a good substitute for emulsion after toner.
ConsIt doesn't actually reduce acne. They say hydration helps with closed comedones, but that wasn't the case for me. If you apply too much, it feels like it's sitting on your skin. The finish feels like applying glue to your face and letting it dry. You're supposed to pat it in for absorption, but as I have acne-prone, super sensitive skin, patting makes my closed comedones get moist and turn bright red. If I don't pat it in and just let it dry, it seems to absorb, but when I apply moisturizer or sunscreen on top, it's like the glue comes back to life. I started using this on recommendation from my esthetician, and when used with their moisturizer, my makeup would pill. Switching moisturizers solved that issue.
TipUse just one dropper-full and spread it evenly on your face, then pat for absorption. I use this serum instead of emulsion, and I think it works best with a moisturizer that balances oil and moisture. Since this serum isn't oily, using it with a transparent moisturizer can make your face get oily quickly when you apply makeup. I wasn't sure what to use between toner and moisturizer, so I tried the 30ml size first, then bought the 100ml. I initially purchased it through my esthetician, but the official Descembre store was much cheaper. I'm giving it 4 stars since I repurchased it.
