Apply the Holly Hyssop Serum 12 a bit more generously at night.
It helps brighten the skin, provides deep hydration and elasticity, and alleviates signs of aging.
Be sure to use it when you want to wake up with a radiant complexion!

8% niacinamide and 12% vitamins (including ascorbic acid) can cause irritation, redness, or stinging in sensitive skin, and even more caution is required if the skin is not accustomed to these active ingredients.

The Holly Hyssop Serum 12 contains 8% niacinamide and a complex of vitamins A, C, and E (12%), as well as ascorbic acid, which brightens the skin, soothes it, and provides deep hydration. Hyssop extract strengthens the skin barrier and boosts elasticity, imparting a natural and healthy glow. Five peptides stimulate collagen production, providing continuous radiance. Additionally, the inclusion of rice extract naturally evens out skin tone and helps reduce acne scars and pigmentation. When applied thickly, it can also be used as an intensive sleeping mask.

The reason for the non-recommendation is, as mentioned above, due to the absorption power. I received a sample and tried it, so I'm not sure how it would be with consistent use, but the absorption power is simply lacking at the moment.

The texture is slightly sticky, with a gel-like feel. It's not too difficult to apply, but the overall sensation is not particularly pleasant.
The absorption is not the best. I received a sample, and while other products in the same line absorbed well, this one caused a sudden heat sensation that subsided once absorbed. There's no irritation, but the absorption is not great.

When used alone, it felt like the absorption was not completely perfect, leaving a sticky and oily residue on the surface, causing the hair to stick a lot when used alone, and making it uncomfortable as it stuck to the pillow.
The characteristic residual feeling of niacinamide kept rubbing off on my hands, feeling stiff and unpleasant, like touching metal.
When I didn't use it alone but only before using the gel mask, I didn't feel much of an effect on my skin condition.
I usually use the Neosomme Panthenol 5% serum from Layerlab before using the gel mask, and it's much more effective. I didn't feel any effect from this product and didn't like the feel of it, so I didn't repurchase it.
It says it's suitable for sensitive skin, but there are no test results showing it's suitable for sensitive skin.
When I used this product without the gel mask, bumps appeared on my T-zone and my butterfly area became reddened, which I didn't experience when using the gel, so I personally don't recommend this to those with sensitive skin.

The official website states that it is a daily-use serum that can be used morning and evening, and describes it as a refreshing liquid serum type.

When applied, the texture was not as watery as I had expected, but rather oily in application. It did not feel as hydrating and moisturizing as a typical serum. The absorption was also not as quick as I had anticipated. Additionally, it had a slightly sticky feel, so it may not be suitable for light, easy application.

The formula was easy to apply and spread evenly on the face, and as time passed, it left a moisturized, dewy finish on the skin. I found that the moisturizing effect was well-maintained.
