Subtle Scent

It's best to use it as a step between toner and lotion!

I use a generous amount at once, so I go through a bottle quickly.

It has great moisture and absorption!
As I have dry and sensitive skin, I can't use just any product, but this one fits me really well without any trouble, so I've been using it for more than 6 bottles!
Other lightweight serums tend to become dry after absorption, but this product is lightweight and absorbs well, yet stays moisturized without dryness, so I'm really enjoying using it!
My dehydration has improved a lot, and I haven't had any trouble, so I plan to keep using it.
I recommend it for sensitive skin as well.

It absorbs really well, so it's great to move on to the next step in my skincare routine.

It says the scent is a bit unusual, and it seems to be a carrot scent. But it's not bad at all, and I actually prefer it over an unscented product.

Wow, bamboo water is the very first ingredient! I really value checking the ingredients, and water is usually just regular water, but it seems they've really packed in a lot of bamboo water, which got me really excited, so I decided to purchase it.
And it also contains carrot, which is great! The packaging is so pretty, and the glass container gives it a luxurious feel.
When I applied it, it felt so smooth and bouncy, and the moisture was amazing. It absorbs well, and my skin feels so plump and firm after using it. I'm very satisfied!

I apply the Carrot Bamboo Serum right after cleansing, and then leave the toner pad on for a bit. After that, my face becomes incredibly moisturized and feels just like it did right after cleansing!

There wasn't really anything disappointing -
However, if you're concerned about the heavy feel from the oil in the serum, you'll likely find this serum to be refreshing and lightweight.

The part that I liked the most was using 🎋Bambusa vulgaris🎋 instead of purified water! Thanks to this, when I apply the serum to my skin, it feels moisturized and plump! It's not a slippery finish that clogs the pores due to the added oil, but it applies smoothly and plumply.
The healthy scent is also nice, and it mixes well with the other ampoules I had, so it's easy to apply them together! I'm pleased that it seems to act as a moisture booster.
Since it uses mild ingredients, it soothes my sensitive skin without any irritation.

The downside was:

* The slightly thick texture feels a bit dry when used alone

Also,

* Including instructions or an ingredient list would be helpful... When I first received it, there was no explanation, so I was a bit unsure how to apply it.

Other than that, there were no other downsides!

*Review after using it for 10 days*
A cute carrot grip tok was included upon opening!🧡🥕

🧖🏻‍♀️ Skin type: Neutral (slightly dry in winter)

* Lightweight formula
The transparent formula applies smoothly without any stickiness. Pumping twice was a bit too much, so I found that one pump was just right.

* Love the scent🌿
The forest and woody scent is something I personally really enjoy, so I kept sniffing it... There's no carrot scent at all!

* Great for summer or fall (moisturizing)
It might be a bit dry going from fall to winter.
While the texture isn't sticky, it has a slightly thick feel, so I tried using it with a skin toner and oil mist, and found that using it with the oil mist helped the moisture last longer. Finishing with a lotion was perfect for the fall weather👍🏻

Apply it in two layers to get it nicely absorbed! Before makeup, dab it on with a makeup sponge and spread it out.

If I had to pick one, it would be the heavy container?? But there's not really a major downside.

Skin condition: Extremely dry skin, the skin itself is also very thin, so wrinkles form easily. When brushing your teeth, the entire area around your mouth becomes dry, so you have to apply cream no matter what.
Spreading it on like a face mask and absorbing it makes it incredibly moisturizing! You can feel the moisture welling up from deep within your skin! If you apply it once, absorb it, and then apply and absorb it one more time, it'll be the same as when you used a face mask the next morning!! For those with dry skin, but who don't want to use a cream type, I recommend this.

I don't have any special tips, but I would highly recommend this to dry-skinned folks who don't like heavy formulas.

The only downside is that the price is a bit burdensome, but if there are frequent discount events, I'll definitely stock up.

I have combination skin with redness. My skin changes drastically with the seasons, and when my condition is poor, even products I normally use well can cause breakouts. I've invested a lot of money in basic skincare products over the years, but I haven't been able to find a product that I can really stick with. This time, I was fortunate to receive and try this product, and to cut to the chase, I think I've found my match. I'm truly and genuinely satisfied. The texture is thin and spreads well without causing any significant irritation. It absorbs quickly with just a few pats. The scent is similar to a healthy aromatic, but those with sensitive noses may have mixed feelings about it. Compared to the Skinfood Carrot Pads, it's not as strong but in a similar fragrance family. I didn't experience any major breakouts after using it, and when I woke up, my skin felt supple and plump without any tightness. I was even surprised that during a long day out, my skin maintained that plump, moisturized feel without needing to apply anything else. I'm completely satisfied with this product. On a Saturday, when I went to the store and applied a base makeup, my skin flushed with heat and bumps came up. I debated whether to apply anything, but ended up using this product due to the dryness from the heat, and the next day, the dryness was less. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, but I think I can get by using this product until then. I plan to continue using this product daily, and I'll definitely repurchase once I finish it.

Applying this together with a sleeping pack before bed helps with hydration without any greasiness.👍🏻

0️⃣ I didn't experience any downsides or issues with my skin when using this product separately. It seems to be a product without major flaws. I really appreciate that it doesn't leave a greasy, tacky feel.

1️⃣ Minimal Fragrance
This was the first thing I noticed when I started using the product. The scent is not overbearing - it's more like the fresh, earthy aroma of just-harvested carrots, with only the most pleasant notes retained. Personally, I really enjoyed the fragrance every time I used it. Even if it's not your preferred scent, the fragrance doesn't linger too long, so it's not overpowering.

2️⃣ Excellent Hydration
I usually apply a sleeping pack at night, but I often felt it wasn't enough or left something to be desired. Using this product together with the sleeping pack has been a perfect combination. ✨ When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels deeply hydrated from within. If you have a sleeping pack, I'd recommend mixing the two - the next day, your skin will be beautifully plump and well-hydrated.👍🏻

3️⃣ No Breakouts
While it may not dramatically reduce existing blemishes, this product seems to prevent new breakouts and has a calming effect. Even for my sensitive skin, it's a gentle formula that doesn't cause any irritation or pimples.

4️⃣ Excellent Absorption
This is a really important factor for me. I dislike products that just sit on the surface and leave a greasy, tacky feel. But this one absorbs well and doesn't leave any residue on the skin. This is probably my favorite part.👐🏻

 Since I have dry skin, I often use moisturizing creams or hydrating serums as sleeping packs instead of face masks. The rich and dense texture of the Apresh Carrot Bamboo Serum means that if I apply a generous amount before bed and let it sink in, I wake up with an incredibly plump and hydrated complexion that makes my makeup apply beautifully!

 Personally, I felt the fragrance was a bit disappointing. While it's not overpowering, the earthy carrot scent is something that may divide opinions. It has a subtle aroma of carrots that some may find appealing, while others may not be as fond of it.

 My skin used to be combination skin that was more oily, but as I got older, it gradually became drier skin! Furthermore, as the weather suddenly became colder, my already dry skin started to feel even more cracked and parched, so I had no choice but to use a full skincare routine of serum, lotion, and cream!

The Apresh Carrot Bamboo Serum has a thicker concentration compared to other serums, so while it's not lightweight, it has an incredibly moisturizing power! It has a rich texture, but it doesn't feel overly heavy, and it absorbs quickly even when applied generously.

Due to its dense formula and texture, the moisturizing power seems just as good as a cream. After using the serum, my makeup applies more smoothly than before.

The scent is not overly strong, so you won't really notice it unless you focus on it, but when you do, it genuinely does smell like carrots, just as the name suggests.

The 50g size means that even using 2-3 pumps of the serum at a time, it should last a good while.

Using this alone might not be enough for dry skin types - you'll probably need to apply a cream on top as well

The fragrance honestly caught me by surprise
It has a kind of pungent herbal scent...? It's a smell I don't think I've encountered before...
Every time I apply it, I can't shake the feeling of applying some kind of insect bite remedy
I think I'm just particularly sensitive to the fragrance

It has a gel-like texture
When squeezed onto the hand, it feels like a hand sanitizer gel...?
When applied, it definitely provides hydration
It worked well on my sensitive skin without any major issues, and there's no lingering residue, which is nice
The pump packaging is convenient to use

You need to start caring for your winter skin from now on to prevent dryness and ensure your makeup applies well. You don't need expensive treatments, just a simple serum routine. After applying toner or skin, apply the serum and let it absorb. Then apply the serum again and let it absorb. Repeat this process a few times, adjusting the number of applications based on your skin's needs. I do this with essences or serums in the fall and winter. You can finish with a lotion or cream. This was the secret to my supple and bouncy skin!

🥕Usage Experience: The absorption wasn't very quick. If using this serum in the morning when in a hurry, it might take some time. I'll stick to using it only at night!
🥕Fragrance: The bamboo water scent was a bit off-putting at first. It's a matter of personal preference, so there may be some who dislike it.

🥕Skin Condition: The skin is not excessively dry. I usually don't apply heavy basic skincare, but rather a light application. At night, I prefer to use serums or essences.
🥕Fragrance: The bamboo water scent hits you first, overpowering the carrot scent. But it fades to a subtle aroma after a while.
🥕Texture: Even when applied to the back of the hand, it doesn't drip or flow, but rather feels like a gel-like consistency.
🥕Usage Experience: It has a thick, jelly-like feel, but becomes more fluid when applied to the face. The sensation is similar to using a gel. After rolling it a few times and leaving it, it slowly absorbs. While it absorbs slowly, it keeps the skin moisturized throughout the night and maintains that feeling in the morning.
🥕Morning Complexion: The skin looks well-groomed. After a good night's sleep, the porcelain-like complexion makes me want to take another look in the mirror.
🥕Morning Cleansing: When cleansing with water, it rinses off cleanly with a refreshing sensation. However, the gel-like texture remains.

😔 There is a slight pilling effect.
Even when I apply a small amount and wait for it to absorb before applying the final moisturizer, it still ends up pilling.

🍒The liquid is quite viscous. The fragrance is also very natural and subtle, which I liked.

🍒I apply about half a pump each time, and when I spread it evenly on my hands, it applies smoothly all over my face.

🍒Due to the slight viscosity, it takes quite a while to absorb.

🍒When I wake up in the morning, my skin has a radiant glow.
The texture of the improved areas of my skin has become very smooth, and the minor unevenness has quickly faded.
Most importantly, the pigmentation issues that I was most concerned about have seen significant improvement. It's a pity I don't have before photos, but I'm truly satisfied that the stubborn acne-related pigmentation has improved so quickly.👍
