The cooling effect is not overwhelming, but you can feel the heat subsiding along with a reduction in redness. ✓ Blemish Prevention & Soothing Power: 4/5 Rather than treating existing blemishes, it's particularly effective when applied to areas showing early signs of trouble (itchy or red spots). It definitely has a calming effect! With continued use, I noticed my skin becoming less sensitive overall. ✓ Post-Blemish Care: 4/5 While it doesn't completely eliminate red marks left by past blemishes, I definitely noticed faster healing and fading of these spots with consistent use. ✓ Texture: 5/5 The light, refreshing formula is perfect for summer use without feeling heavy. Surprisingly, those little green beads dissolve really well without irritating the skin! No greasiness, and it doesn't pill under makeup, making it very versatile. Recommended for: ✓ Those prone to heat-induced blemishes ✓ Sensitive skin with recurring pimples or blemish marks ✓ Oily/combination skin looking for a soothing-focused product If you fit these descriptions, you're likely to be satisfied with this product.
ConsThose with dry skin who prefer rich, deeply moisturizing products might find this a bit light for their needs.

In winter, my skin isn't as oily as it is in summer! First off, I believe hydration is the most crucial aspect in every skincare step. No matter how soothing a product might be, if there's not enough moisture, I immediately get blemishes. But this serum is moderately moisturizing and gentle. It's not extremely hydrating, so the role of toner and cream will be important. I apply Uriage Xémose toner 3-4 times, then layer this serum twice, and it works wonders! While my skin isn't as oily as in summer, it still produces some oil. But lately, I've noticed I'm not as shiny from morning to evening at work. I realized it might be because of this serum. I'm satisfied with how well it controls oil production! Also, my skin has been acting up lately. I hadn't found a product effective for those tiny bumps in a while. But since using this serum, those bumps have reduced significantly, and I'm experiencing fewer blemishes overall. It makes me want to keep using it consistently. I knew Houttuynia Cordata had a unique scent that people either love or hate. I'd tried a Houttuynia Cordata ampoule before, but it didn't work for me. However, this serum seems unscented, and it's quite effective. So, I'm definitely sticking with this serum!
ConsBased on short-term use, I'm not sure if it actually regulates sebum production. But since it controls oil, I think it might have a positive effect on sebum in the long run! Also, if you have very dry skin, you might want to test it first before buying, as it has oil-controlling properties. While the product itself is moisturizing, it doesn't feel rich and seems to evaporate quickly. You might need to focus more on hydration and moisture with other products. I often apply products in layers using one hand, but with this one, the dropper fits tightly into the bottle opening, making one-handed use a bit challenging.
TipI think a very hydrating toner helps more than anything else! To me, this serum feels like the hydration evaporates quickly. As I mentioned above, I apply Uriage Xémose toner in 3-4 layers or more, and I also layer this serum about twice. This way, I can use it without feeling dry and maintain good hydration! For cream, I'd recommend using whatever super moisturizing cream you normally use!
