So, in the final step of your skincare routine, just apply about 2 drops on the palm of your hand and it will provide great hydration. I have extremely sensitive skin, and even a single unsuitable ingredient can cause my skin to go haywire. But this product didn't irritate my skin at all, and it felt very comfortable to use! Even though it's an oil formula, it absorbs quite quickly, which is great.
ConsThe scent was a bit difficult to get used to at first! Scent preference is very subjective, so everyone may perceive it differently, but I found it slightly unpleasant initially. However, the scent faded away quickly, which was better.
TipThose who love a dewy skin finish may be able to use this during the day without any issues, but since I tend to get quite oily, I found it a bit heavy for daytime use. So I only used it at night to lock in the hydration. Especially during this transitional weather and cold temperatures, I think this would be great for dry skin types.

But this product didn't cause any itchiness or redness, which was great. ✨Moisturizing When I apply it at night and go to sleep, my skin is really hydrated the next morning. Even when I apply it in the morning, it absorbs quickly, which is nice. ✨Texture It has a runny texture, and the product comes in a dropper bottle, so it's easy and hygienic to apply. At first, I was surprised that it felt a bit oily when I applied it, but it absorbed quickly, which was amazing. ✨Application The oil-based formula isn't too runny or too thick, so it applies nicely. If I use a small amount, it feels a bit sticky when I apply it, but it's still okay. ✨Brightening My skin does look a bit brighter, but I can't really tell a big difference just by looking at it. ✨Overall I'd recommend this to anyone with combination, oily, or dry skin, especially those with dry skin. For dry skin types, I'd suggest applying a generous amount at night and then just a few drops in the morning after cleansing.
ConsAt first, I was a bit surprised by the scent when I applied it. I'm sensitive to scents, and the smell wasn't really my preference, so it was a bit unpleasant. But the scent dissipated quickly, so it wasn't a dealbreaker. Also, the price is a bit high, so it might be a burden for some.
TipIf you want to achieve a dewy, glowing skin look, apply a few drops of this product after your toner or lotion, and then start your makeup routine. This will help the makeup application and finish look more radiant.

My skin is sensitive and prone to breakouts. The main benefit is its non-oily, refreshing absorption. After application, there is no greasy residue, which I liked. While I may not use it daily due to concerns about breakouts, it works well for me to use 1-2 times a week for hydration.
ConsThe scent... an indescribable, peculiar fragrance. It does not linger for long.
TipMixing it with an aloe vera gel allowed me to use it more lightly. For oily, blemish-prone skin, using it in combination would likely be beneficial.

My skin is combination, so it looks dry on the surface, but it's actually quite oily when you touch it. When the oil-moisture balance is off, I tend to get a lot of blemishes. I had high expectations for the Marrakesh C Serum since it's said to be rich in minerals and vitamins. At first, I wasn't sure about the application, so I used a bit too much, but a little goes a long way! After applying, my skin becomes dewy and glowing!! I don't have much experience with oil serums, but this one didn't make my skin feel dry even when I went out in the cold wind. However, it's best to use it moderately, just for your nighttime routine. If you use it morning and night after cleansing, your face might get too oily. So keep that in mind! I think this serum would be great for dry skin types. Highly recommended!👌
ConsOther reviewers also mentioned that the fragrance was quite disappointing, and I agree - the fruity scent was really strong at first. I was like, 'What is this smell?' but luckily, the fragrance faded quickly. So even if you apply it and massage it in, the smell doesn't linger. Fragrance is subjective, so you can just take that as a reference. Also, compared to other serums I've used, this one feels a bit thicker and requires more patting to fully absorb. The oil content is quite high, so you have to work it in well.
TipI only used this at night, not in the morning, because of the oily texture.ㅎㅎ But when I mixed a drop or two with my foundation, I was really satisfied! It made my skin look so dewy and glowing. Using just the oil alone can feel a bit heavy, but the serum formula is lighter, so it absorbs better. I also tried it on my neck, and even though I've only been using it for a week, I can already tell a difference - it seems to absorb better than regular body oils. Overall, in addition to using it after cleansing, I found it really versatile to use for makeup and as a neck treatment. 👍👍

Moisturizing My skin is combination, with the cheeks being dry and the rest being normal. In the fall and winter, I always felt tightness, but after using this serum, the tightness has definitely decreased. It's heavy but doesn't cause any breakouts, so I'm satisfied. 2. Brightening It hasn't been long, but I can feel that my skin has become about half a tone brighter. I uploaded photos from the first day and today, 10 days later, and you can definitely see that it's gotten a bit brighter. (The blemishes on my cheeks are from the aftermath of overtime work. They're not breakouts.)
Cons1. Fragrance While I do like fruity and passion fruit scents, the fragrance I encountered in this serum is quite different. There will likely be a strong love-hate reaction to this aspect. However, the fragrance doesn't linger for long, so you just have to bear with it for a bit. 2. Spreadability Since it's called a serum, I expected a texture similar to my usual hyaluronic acid serum, but since it's a facial oil formula, it doesn't spread as smoothly when I try to apply it the way I normally would.
TipI'd recommend using it as a layering product with a lighter toner or serum, rather than as a standalone. Or you could apply your usual serum first, and then only use this on the cheek areas that feel dry. And since vitamin C is sensitive to sunlight, I'd also suggest using this at night.

My makeup artist friend recommended it, and I found it to be moisturizing with great deep hydration. As an oil serum, it's perfect for this season. It also gives a nice glow, so the application for makeup afterwards is incredibly smooth. And since I'm very dry-skinned, even in winter, I don't prefer heavy oils, but this one is not heavy at all, absorbs well, and is great to use.
ConsMy friend said the scent might be a bit strong, but since I love fruity fragrances, the slightly sweet scent was fine with me. My friend says she uses the product with her eyes closed because she wants to use it, but the scent fades quickly.
TipI apply the basic moisture serum first to provide hydration and lock in moisture, then I follow up with this right after. Or sometimes I mix it with my wine gel, and it makes my skin super plump and smooth. When using color cosmetics, I also mix it with my foundation, and it adheres beautifully to my dry skin.
