It was just before my period when my skin usually starts acting up, and I was stressed about the redness and unevenness. When I applied this product, there was absolutely no stinging or irritation (and I'm quite sensitive). Even after using it for several days, I didn't experience any adverse reactions. While it didn't dramatically calm my blemishes or reduce redness, the fact that I could apply it comfortably without irritation made me reach for it often. I plan to keep using it consistently. Also, perhaps due to the Madecassoside ingredient, it has a unique enveloping feeling when applied.
ConsThe texture is quite thick. I expected it to be runny since it's called a serum, but it's more like an ointment. It's fine once you know this, but at first, I had to pump several times before anything came out. Then suddenly, a thick glob emerged, making me wonder if it had solidified. But that's just how the texture is - don't be misled. Also, the scent is slightly off-putting. Those sensitive to fragrances might dislike it. I usually hate cosmetic scents more, so this product's medicinal smell was tolerable for me.
TipThis isn't exactly a pro tip, but for those with oily skin, this product has a strong enveloping effect on its own. You might want to keep the rest of your skincare routine light or avoid using it in summer. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found I still needed to use my usual moisturizer on top of this.

The absorbs like a serum, which was a first for me. 2. Contains madecassoside, great for soothing the skin. 3. Loved that it includes brightening active ingredients. 4. Surprisingly gentle for a product with fragrance. 5. Long shelf life, perfect for keeping on hand to treat occasional blemishes.
Cons1. The fragrance feels a bit artificial, which I didn't particularly like. 2. It's thicker than most serums, almost like applying an ointment. 3. While it's marketed for brightening, don't expect dramatic results - consistency is key. 4. Wish they offered a larger size (and maybe at a better price point...).
TipApplying this product followed by the 365 cream works wonders for calming my skin overnight!

The pump-type design makes it easy to control the amount (a few pumps on each cheek is enough to cover the entire face). Initially, I thought 40ml might not be enough, but I've found that a little goes a long way. It should last over a month! ✔️Texture: A gel-type serum with a jelly-like consistency. It doesn't drip and stays put when pumped - it's a bouncy, elastic serum! ✔️Application: When you spread the bouncy, jelly-like texture, you can feel the hydration. It applies smoothly and leaves a finish that feels like a thin protective layer, almost like a dry oil. ✔️User experience: A couple of pumps on each cheek is sufficient to cover the entire face. The texture is perfectly balanced - not too light, not too heavy, with a great oil-moisture balance. I love it! Even with the sudden hot and humid weather, I found that using just a toner pad for skin prep and this Rootree soothing serum in the morning was enough to keep my skin comfortable, even with sunscreen, base, and powder on top. No pilling or dryness! In the evening, a toner pad and this soothing serum were sufficient for my skincare routine. When wearing a mask, my skin usually gets dry and flushed after a while due to my base makeup. But with this soothing serum, I didn't experience any dryness, and it seemed to calm my skin well - my redness didn't flare up as much. I'm really impressed!
Cons✔️Scent: The fragrance is reminiscent of ointment, medicinal, or licorice scent when applied. It might be an acquired taste! I was taken aback by the strong scent at first, but I got used to it over time and now it doesn't bother me. The scent is quite strong during application but dissipates after absorption.
TipWith the hot and humid weather, I've been using light and refreshing sheet masks. However, these tend to dry out after about 5 minutes. I've found that applying a generous layer of the Rootree soothing serum before putting on the mask keeps it from drying out too quickly. It's not too heavy either. This Rootree serum + sheet mask combination has become my go-to nighttime skincare routine!
