I was curious about its pore and sebum care claims, so I gave it a try. The texture feels refreshing, and the scent is natural and pleasant. It has a retinol-like color with medium consistency, gliding on smoothly. After application, you can feel the hydration deep within your skin. It strikes a great balance between oil and moisture, making it a gentle serum that's perfect for light makeup. It works hard without being overwhelming!
ConsAt first, I was surprised by the serum's color - I thought 'What's this?' But knowing it's made from natural ingredients puts my mind at ease while using it.
TipDuring the dry winter months, I apply this first, then layer a thicker serum on top for extra hydration.

There's a subtle scent - a fresh, powdery fragrance that I quite enjoyed. It's not overpowering at all, so it didn't bother me. I'm nearly finished with the product now, and I have to say, before using this I was really stressed about my pores and excess oil. But it seems to be working wonders for sebum control - my pores appear smaller and the tiny blemishes I used to have have significantly reduced! At first, I didn't see much effect and just used it with a 'let's see what happens' attitude. But with consistent application, I started noticing results! I read reviews saying it takes about a month to see effects, and I was skeptical at first. But it's true - you need to apply it diligently for the sebum-controlling ingredients to penetrate deeply and show results.
ConsI have combination skin with some oiliness. In my evening routine, I use this after toner and before serum, but it seems to increase the oily feeling when I layer other products on top. It's a bit better if I really take the time to let it absorb well.
TipConsistency is key! I didn't apply it in the morning due to my makeup routine, but I made sure to use it every evening without fail. Also, I used a separate sebum control product, and I feel like using both together enhanced the effects even more! It's as if the sebum control product works deep down, and this one dissolves what's left on the surface.

It prevents moisture evaporation while controlling excess oil. The key ingredient, Makiol Complex, is born from Botanity's patented formula combined with optimal plant extracts, helping to manage overactive sebum production.
ConsThis milky-white fluid serum leaves no residue and absorbs well with a light, refreshing feel and no stickiness. There's really nothing to dislike about it.

I have dry skin but with excess oil, so I was looking for something to control sebum. I apply two drops just to my T-zone after my serum, and then again after my moisturizer. I've noticed my oiliness gradually decreasing, so I'm considering repurchasing.
ConsThe only downside is its distinctive scent, which is a bit disappointing. It's also a shame that it went on sale for an extra dollar off right after I bought it. If you're thinking about it, buy it now! I'd love to stock up, but I'm using it sparingly so I can't justify getting more.
TipTwo drops on the T-zone twice: once after serum, and again after moisturizer.

After watching Swan's video, I decided to give this a try, and it definitely helps with oil control! I highly recommend this to those with oily skin types!
ConsWhile I personally didn't mind the scent, those sensitive to fragrances might have mixed feelings about it. It's too lightweight for dry skin types! Definitely not suitable for use in the dead of winter.
TipFor best results, gently pat this product between your toner and moisturizer steps to help control sebum production!

Doesn't leave any greasy residue, and my skin feels pleasantly matte after application. The scent is quite nice too. The way it absorbs is top-notch.
ConsI have sensitive skin, and it caused some minor blemishes... But I guess that's just individual skin differences.

Worry no more! Botanity Maqui-ol Sebum Serum is here to tame that overactive oil production and balance your skin's oil and moisture levels. By tackling sebum from the get-go in your skincare routine, you can say goodbye to that greasy shine and makeup meltdowns. The fluid texture absorbs like a dream, leaving your skin feeling wonderfully matte. After using it for a week, I noticed a significant reduction in those pesky maskne bumps that have been popping up lately due to mask-wearing and oily skin. The scent might be a bit divisive - it's reminiscent of herbal, plant-based aromas you might encounter in a yoga studio. Personally, I found it grew on me the more I used it.
ConsI really wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin. A friend with dry skin tried it and complained it was far too drying.
TipMy routine: I prep my skin with an exfoliating toner, then apply this serum. If I need extra hydration, I'll follow up with a cream. There's a toner in this line too, which I plan to try once I finish my current exfoliating toner. Let's aim for skin that can withstand even the sweltering summer heat!
