I guess you could say my skin is like the name 'combination skin'... *In order of what I liked best* 1> The skin absorbs it well : As I mentioned in the skin condition, my skin is dry and rough, with a bit of oiliness on the surface, and even if I apply a glowy foundation, it ends up matte. But I can't use products that are too oily either, since I have combination skin. The Laneige serum has more of a serum-like moisturizing feel rather than being too oily, and it seems to really adhere to the skin, so the foundation applies well afterwards. This helped reduce the stress of doing my makeup! 2>Good lasting power If it were just an oil, it might make my skin look greasy, but this serum absorbs in a bit more. It doesn't just sit on top of the skin, but adheres nicely, so even after being outside for a while, my makeup doesn't break down or wear off too much. Most importantly, when I apply this serum and then foundation, it really helps reduce the appearance of flakiness around my nose, cheeks, and lips, so the makeup lasts better. 3>Subtle glow As a student, I don't really want a super glowy, shiny look. This gives a smooth, dewy look, not an obvious shine. When I want my skin to look naturally glowy, this is perfect! Using just 1-2 drops on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin, and gently patting it in, even on the drier outer areas of my face, gives an overall subtle, healthy glow. (I think even those who don't like a lot of shine would be able to use this comfortably) 4.>Absolutely gorgeous packaging When I first received it and opened it, I was so surprised... the little shimmery white pearls and the shimmery pink liquid made it look more like resin art than a cosmetic product. The packaging and the color of the product itself are just so beautiful... this year's out of all the cosmetics I've used, this one tops them in terms of packaging... just looking at it makes me feel good, so I found myself reaching for it often.
ConsIt's difficult to control the amount. Since it's in a dropper format, I squeezed it out and it dropped directly onto my face in little dots. But the dropper is too short, so not much went in. Even though it's a bit of a hassle, I have to use the dropper 2-3 times, and when I'm in a hurry, I get impatient and too much can come out on my face... When that happens, I can dab the areas around my nose with a cotton pad soaked in toner to prevent it from getting into those areas. I'm not sure if it's because my skin is sensitive, but when I applied the serum directly to my cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose, I started getting acne on the lower part of my cheeks, small bumps on the upper part, and small bumps in the T-zone. So I'm wondering if that might be the cause. I applied toner, then moisturizer, and then the serum right away. But I guess applying the serum so soon after the basic skincare steps can lead to this. So next time, I'll apply sunscreen first, and then the serum. My skin can feel a bit sticky. Normally, my hair doesn't stick to my face much when I dry it after makeup, but with this serum, my hair sticks to my face a lot more, which can be inconvenient!
TipIt's not an incredibly useful tip, but since it's a serum, if you mist a puff with a mist or fixative and then apply foundation, the combination of serum + foundation + mist is quite nice. If it were an oil, it might feel a bit heavy since it's oil and water, but that's not the case, and it spreads nicely and moisturizes well. If you want an even more moisturized feeling, don't spray too much, but just give the puff a quick mist of the spray and use it, and it seems to work well.^.^
