Since panthenol tends to be a little irritating for my skin, a sensitivity test is necessary for this product. While it can be used comfortably like a balm, it may feel stinging when the skin barrier is compromised. Conversely, it can be used to test the skin barrier. It takes some time for the product to absorb into the skin, and there is a slight tackiness, but the centella ingredients are felt to be sufficient. I tend to apply it mainly at night when my skin is a little rough and sensitive, and I use a different essence in the busy mornings.
ConsWhile the viscosity and texture may feel moisturizing for some, there is a slight tackiness and it takes time to absorb. When using the dropper, the small opening can sometimes cause the serum to accidentally spill out onto the rim, which is wasteful.
TipPanthenol also pairs well with sensitive retinol, so if you apply retinol first and then use this for moisture and soothing, the slightly tacky and moisturizing balm or cream applied afterwards can be a good finishing step. Additionally, due to the high viscosity of this serum, adding a few drops of peptide concentrate or EGF concentrate can help improve the slightly sticky texture when applying.

A small amount can cover the entire face. There is no irritation at all.
ConsThe product oozes out from the side of the dropper, but it's not too inconvenient. However, it leaves a sticky finish, so I apply it as the last step. Even without using a cream, there is no lack of moisture.
TipI would not recommend using it before makeup during the day. It's better to apply it at night. Since this is the final step, I add a toner pack or other moisturizing products in the previous steps.

It seems to effectively address dryness and provide good moisture.
ConsThe dropper is a bit blunt, and the product has a sticky consistency, which makes it inconvenient to apply. It's also difficult to fully absorb, leaving a tacky feeling. When used with makeup, it can cause the makeup to shift and create an uneven appearance.

The fragrance is close to being unscented.
ConsI was shocked when I saw the price, and the ingredients list has PEG and dimethicone, which can clog pores. This ingredient is listed as the 5th one, which worries me. Also, it's so sticky that it feels like I'm applying nasal mucus to my face? The alcohol content makes it evaporate quickly, but there's no moisturizing effect at all. Addition: The fragrance is not a pleasant smell, it's like saliva.

Using a product that suits your skin properly can actually be more cost-effective in the long run, compared to trying out many different products that may not work as well. Buying and consistently using the right product for your skin can help you avoid wasting money on things that don't address your needs. It's a wise approach to focus on finding quality over quantity when it comes to skincare.
ConsI understand your feedback on the product: - The initial application is smooth and nice, but it becomes quite sticky over time. The stickiness is quite significant, to the point where you feel the urge to pat your skin, and it has a slightly irritating "glue-like" feeling, which is a bit disappointing. - To address this, you've been applying it moderately and rubbing it in well, then leaving the sticky residue as is. - The price is reasonable, but the product volume is a bit disappointing. Increasing the volume or lowering the price a bit would make it even better. - The glass dropper makes it a bit difficult to dispense the right amount precisely. Since a single press releases a fairly large amount, it's not easy to control the dosage in a delicate manner. Overall, while the initial application and performance are good, the increasing stickiness and the challenges with dosage control are areas that could be improved. The value for money could also be enhanced by either increasing the volume or adjusting the pricing.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin Type: Dry/Sensitive While I don't get many pimples or blemishes, my skin tends to act up when my body is not feeling well, I'm under stress, or around my menstrual cycle - with one or two, sometimes even three or four, popping up. Coincidentally, I received the product just as my skin was acting up. I was already familiar with the famous La Roche-Posay brand, so I had high expectations, but my skin didn't calm down and instead seemed to worsen. I tried it again, but it didn't improve and actually got worse, so in a panic I went to a dermatologist. They prescribed me medication and told me to go back to my usual products, and that's when my skin finally got better. It seems this product just doesn't agree with me.
Cons- The dropper is separate from the main product, and I had to assemble it myself, which felt a bit messy. It would be better if the dropper was already attached. - The scent is a bit unpleasant, with a slightly sour note that I personally dislike. - The texture is quite sticky, so I can only use it at night and not before makeup.

After toner, you can dispense it with the dropper and it will absorb quickly into the skin. It's not a very oily type. Of course, the results may vary depending on your skin type. Most regenerative lines are thick and sticky like Vaseline, but this is not the case at all. It's not an oily type, but a moisturizing type, so those with dry skin may actually feel a bit dry. I personally dislike sticky and tacky types, so this was actually better for me. However, if you feel a bit dry, especially in the winter, layering with a moisturizing or nourishing cream would be a good idea. It actually doesn't clog pores, so it seems to help skin regeneration. I have the B5 cream from the same line, and after using both for a few days, the serum is definitely less oily. I recommend this to those who dislike the greasy feeling. After evening cleansing and using the houttuynia toner, I immediately applied the serum and absorbed it. The redness from previous breakouts was significantly calmed by the next morning. It's better to write a review after a few days of consistent use, so I've been testing it daily without missing a day. There were no major new breakouts or troubles that arose.
ConsThe packaging is a bit inconvenient. They provide a separate dropper, but the formula is more viscous like mucus, so it doesn't come up the dropper cleanly and spills out the sides. After a use or two, residue builds up around the opening, making it sticky like gel. I hope they can improve this.
TipI usually store my cosmetics in the refrigerator. After cleansing, I use the refrigerated toner, then dispense the B5 repair serum into my palms and pat it in for absorption. Finally, I layer the Witch's Factory vegan houttuynia cream. When I wake up in the morning, my skin is supple and smooth. My skin texture feels so soft when I cleanse in the morning. I would repurchase this.

ConsAfter applying it, there's a sticky residue left, so I don't think I'll want to use it in the morning. The dropper doesn't seem to be working properly, and if you're not careful, the opening will get dirty quickly.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe formula has a slightly viscous and bouncy texture, leaving the skin feeling moisturized without any tightness after application. It seems suitable for both dry and combination skin types. It can be used year-round, except for the harshest winter or summer months!
ConsThe viscous formula leaves a sticky residue even after application. It may be difficult to use during the summer. Additionally, the skin sometimes experiences a stinging sensation, but I'm not sure why that happens. The packaging is also quite inconvenient. The dropper and serum bottle come separately packaged, requiring you to replace the cap, which feels a bit messy. The dropper is also loosely placed in the cosmetic box, which is unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the dropper doesn't function properly - the formula tends to drip out, which is disappointing.
