I'm not particularly sensitive, but there are some ingredients that don't agree with me occasionally. I rarely get blemishes normally. 1. Packaging It looks more like a small emulsion sample than a serum. It has a dropper-style applicator that you need to pump, which might be hit or miss for some people. 2. Texture True to its appearance, the texture is like a milky, thin emulsion. 3. Scent The fragrance is so subtle it's almost unscented, so it's not bothersome at all. 4. Application The emulsion-like texture allows for smooth and easy application. 5. Hydration The hydrating power is impressive! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, in summer I can finish my skincare routine with just a hydrating serum followed by this one. On lazy nights, I generously applied this alone and woke up without any blemishes and feeling comfortable. 6. Absorption It seems to absorb quickly and well, even with a quick application and light patting. 7. Wrinkle Improvement I had one bothersome wrinkle under my eye, and it's definitely become less noticeable! Since this is the only change in my skincare routine, it must be thanks to this serum, right? 8. Dead Skin Cell Improvement In this humid and hot weather, the area around my chin suddenly became very dry with flaking skin. It was really stressful, especially after makeup when using facial muscles would make those lines very visible. But after using this, it's improved a lot!
Cons1. Packaging The pump-style dropper was a miss for me. My wrist isn't great, and it seems designed to be used at an angle that's uncomfortable for me. So I had to use both hands. 2. Hydration As it's a serum with a rich feel, the hydrating power is substantial, which is both a pro and a con. When applied all over, it doesn't seem to balance oil and moisture. It's perfect for dry areas, but too much for the T-zone. It's best to use only where needed. 3. Absorption Right after application, it absorbs well without stickiness. But after some time, as oil production starts, areas that weren't originally very dry begin to feel sticky. This happens less in drier areas, so it seems to interact with the skin's natural oils. 4. Pores The morning after using only this product, my pores seemed more noticeable than usual. I tried it alone again and also with my regular products to be sure, and it definitely happens when used alone. I think it's best if I don't apply this to my T-zone.
TipI recommend applying this product only to areas where it's needed, depending on your skin type. It seems to effectively address deep dryness and clearly has wrinkle-improving effects in dry areas, but in oilier parts, it can increase oil production. Especially before makeup, it might be best to apply a small amount only to drier areas.
