That's when I received this product and used it for a while... Firstly, the texture is a bit sticky. I have dry skin, and it doesn't seem to absorb well when my face doesn't have enough hydration. However, the finish is quite nice. As for its effectiveness in fading blemishes, it would naturally take consistent use and time to see results, but I feel like they've somewhat lightened.
ConsThe scent might be polarizing for some. If you apply it on bare skin without any prep, it might pill.
TipDue to the Madecassoside ingredient, it seems to be more effective when applied directly to the skin.

First impression: Being a vegan product with eco-friendly packaging made me feel good about using it. The scent was slightly herbal, but pleasant enough to enjoy. Texture: Despite its thick consistency, it spreads smoothly. Thanks to its formula, the hydration doesn't evaporate quickly, leaving the skin feeling firm and moisturized. Effectiveness: As someone prone to blemishes and post-acne redness, I usually opt for soothing products. This one definitely helped calm my skin! Three red marks on my neck from extractions have almost disappeared, with only a slight hint of redness remaining. It claims to help with blemishes, pigmentation, and complexion - and I can confirm it evened out my skin tone and reduced redness. The finish is so moisturizing that on hot days, I only needed this product and sunscreen without feeling dry. While winter might require more hydration, this could be a one-step skincare solution for summer!
ConsDue to its thick consistency, applying too much can lead to pilling. It's crucial to use the right amount and ensure it absorbs well!
TipFor best results, don't use this as your first skincare step. Start with a watery toner and a light serum to add initial hydration, then follow with this product for an even more moisturized finish!

Texture I really liked that it's not too lightweight. Usually, serums are so light that they can cause deep dryness, but this one has just the right amount of richness. It's not heavy, yet it keeps my skin from feeling dry. 2. Firm finish The finish leaves my skin feeling firm, which makes my skin texture look better. It gives my skin a plump and bouncy appearance.
ConsIf you don't control the amount well, it can cause pilling when applying makeup. Also, I didn't really notice much effect on soothing blemishes.

The product absorbs quickly and feels refreshing. The texture is like a thicker gel compared to regular serums, making it easier to apply than watery ones. It also feels more hydrating. The scent has a herbal aroma, which I find pleasant and healthy-smelling.
ConsSometimes when I'm not thinking about my skincare routine, I apply toner, serum, emulsion, cream, and sunscreen in that order. Occasionally, this causes pilling. So later, I started using it in the evening instead of during the day. I didn't experience any blemishes or small pimples. However, it might be better to use this product for 2-3 weeks before giving a full review.
TipI naturally have good skin. However, when I apply too much product or use something new, I often get small pimples or breakouts. Usually, my skin is sensitive, and I'd get one or two pimples. In my 20s, I could just pop them, and they'd disappear in a few days. But as I've gotten older, pimples don't go away as easily, and even when popped, they leave marks that last longer. When I apply this licorice serum after my regular evening skincare routine, it feels hydrating. The ingredients are ones I like, and I feel it helps calm my skin without causing breakouts. I intend to repurchase this product.

My skin is thin with a weak barrier, and due to an imbalance in oil and moisture, dead skin cells tend to accumulate easily. - Texture and Concentration: It has a rich texture, but feels lighter than typical essences. After applying, I followed up with a generous layer of moisturizer. It seems perfect for summer use due to its lightweight feel. - Effects: I used it morning and evening for two weeks, but after the first week, I noticed slight pilling when applying makeup in the morning, so I switched to evening use only. While I can't say for certain how much it improved blemishes in just two weeks, I did notice my complexion became more even. Interestingly, after the first night of use, I woke up to find that some stubborn sebum trapped in my skin had softened. I find that this gentle way of releasing trapped sebum helps improve my skin texture, as opposed to having to squeeze it out and potentially cause damage. It also has a decent calming effect. After a long walk when my skin felt irritated, I applied a generous amount of the essence followed by a hydrating sheet mask, which helped soothe my skin nicely.
Cons- Fragrance: Those of us with sensitive skin typically check for the presence of 20 specific ingredients to avoid before purchasing a product. I think it would be ideal if products could exclude all 20 of these ingredients, including fragrance. I didn't feel that the fragrance significantly enhanced the product's benefits. - Pilling: While it's relatively lightweight for an ampoule, I usually prefer to use light-textured essences in the morning. However, if not applied carefully, it tends to pill.
TipWhen my skin was slightly sunburned, I applied a generous amount of this essence followed by a hydrating mask. It seemed to be more effective than just using a hydrating mask alone.

When I use it before bed, my skin feels incredibly smooth in the morning. I've been struggling with persistent blemishes around my nose due to mask-wearing, but after consistent use, they've started to fade and eventually disappeared. I'm once again impressed by the soothing properties of licorice. I've only been using it for about ten days, so the effect on dark spots is still minimal, but given how well it worked on my blemishes, I'm hopeful it will help with pigmentation too!
ConsTo fully experience its effects, I initially applied only this soothing serum after cleansing. However, I found that it alone wasn't enough for hydration, so I needed to pair it with a compatible moisturizer to prevent my skin from feeling tight (be careful, as some combinations can lead to pilling). One more thing that's a bit disappointing - while it seems to be a good product overall, there's one ingredient that I wish wasn't included.
TipAfter exfoliating, I apply a thin layer all over my face, then gently massage a second layer onto any blemishes or problem areas. For the rest of my face, I follow up with a moisturizer to prevent any dryness. This method seems to enhance the overall effectiveness.

Texture and Scent - The texture feels like a bouncy gel that, when applied, gives an instant burst of hydration and a cool, film-like sensation. However, I was a bit disappointed with the scent. It has a stronger-than-expected herbal aroma that I didn't particularly enjoy at first. But it does dissipate after application, and I've gotten used to it over time, so it's not too bad. User Experience - Initially, it seems to absorb completely, but it leaves a moisturizing film that creates a perfect base for makeup. I prefer a lighter feel, so I finish with this after a watery toner and skip a separate cream. It's been great for keeping my skin hydrated in this weather without feeling dry.
ConsRoom for Improvement - It can be tricky to control the amount dispensed. If you're not careful, you might end up with pilling, which is a bit frustrating. Blemishes - I haven't experienced any breakouts or irritation, so I've been using it consistently without issues.
