It's like the perfect match for its vibrant green exterior. This product is ideal for summer use! Plus, there's a fun aspect to crushing the green beads as you apply it. They break easily without much pressure, so the application process wasn't irritating at all.
ConsI noticed it stung a bit when I used it on days my skin wasn't in great condition. It seems to be a product that can cause some irritation. I wouldn't recommend it for those with super sensitive skin.
TipDuring seasonal changes like now, our skin tends to get very dry and the skin barrier can weaken easily. I recommend using the Abib serum to boost hydration, and then following up with a slightly rich cream or emulsion to help lock in that moisture.

The scent wasn't overpowering, which I appreciated. Its smooth and refreshing feel made me think it would be perfect for hot weather.
ConsWhile it didn't lead to major blemishes, on days when my super sensitive skin was acting up, I occasionally felt a tingling, burning sensation, or itchiness. The lightweight texture felt a bit drying for me, so I had to use additional products to boost hydration.

It absorbs well and leaves a nice, firm finish. Works better as part of a nighttime skincare routine rather than in the morning.
ConsAs I have sensitive skin, I experienced a slight tingling sensation when applying it.

It absorbs like water, making it perfect before makeup or richer creams. It leaves a fresh finish and creates a plump, makeup-ready canvas. I've received so many compliments on my skin when wearing this - people say my makeup looks beautiful and well-applied. I even did a comparison test, using a different serum one day and this one the next. Everyone unanimously agreed my skin looked more supple on the day I used this serum! The amount you get is incredibly generous. Given my skin type, I need to layer products for deep hydration. While I usually finish other serums in 2-3 weeks, this one lasted over a month - a first for me! It also noticeably smooths skin texture. After application, it's as if my skin is coated in a protective layer, making it feel incredibly smooth. This seems to help makeup adhere beautifully.
ConsIt can sting a bit, unfortunately. My skin usually tolerates Houttuynia Cordata well, but this feels slightly hot and stings on sensitized skin. On particularly sensitive days, it seems to increase redness, so I avoid using it then (though this could be due to my extremely sensitive skin - I use it fine most days). I wouldn't recommend this for those trying to minimize their skincare routine. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that gets oily in the evening, I usually finish my night routine with just toner and layered serum. However, this product alone left my skin feeling too dry. For me, it works best in a morning routine of toner pack, toner, this serum, and a lightweight moisturizer. Personally, I didn't see much effect on blemishes. When my skin was breaking out badly, I didn't notice any reduction or improvement in my blemishes while using this product.
TipI'd recommend this more for those with cooler skin rather than those prone to flushing or heat. If you do have warm skin, try using a toner pack to cool it down before applying. This isn't a cooling serum, so when used on warm skin, it can lead to some oiliness, as if the skin is rejecting it. After this serum, I suggest following with a water-like, thin moisturizer. Rich creams don't pair well with this product's characteristics. Layering two barrier-forming products made my skin feel overwhelmed and heavy.
