As someone who often experiences irritation with fermented and brightening products, I was pleasantly surprised to use an entire bottle without any adverse reactions, making it a frequent go-to in my routine. The consistency is that of a thin gel essence, typical for a serum. It feels silky smooth upon application, with a slight stickiness right after, but once fully absorbed, it strikes a perfect balance - not sticky, yet not too light either. It provides a strong sense of hydration, leaving a slight protective film that feels nourishing without being greasy. I noticed when I applied a drop after my toner on dry days, my skin felt less parched and seemed to have a clearer appearance compared to when I skipped it. While its soothing properties are mild, preventing further blemishes rather than actively treating them, it didn't cause any irritation. For my skin, the focus was more on moisture retention. If fermented products suit your skin, this could work for all skin types. The scent reminds me of toasted rice candy - a nutty, caramel-like aroma that I found myself sniffing appreciatively. The brown glass bottle is a nice touch, alleviating concerns about product degradation.
ConsWhen applied in the early stages of my skincare routine, this product often led to pilling issues with my makeup.
TipI highly recommend using this at night or when you're only planning to apply sunscreen. It could also make a lovely gift for more mature individuals.
