I'm thrilled they've come out with a larger size. The lightweight formula absorbs well into the skin.
Cons
While it seems to absorb well, I can't say I've noticed any significant improvement in deep dryness, unfortunately.

I have combination and slightly sensitive skin. This is the basic serum from J.na, a brand I really trust. I'm currently on my 4th bottle. It's fragrance-free with a slightly viscous texture. While younger oily skin types might find it a bit heavy, it should work well for most other skin types. I haven't experienced any blemishes, and my skin feels comfortable. Personally, as I'm getting older, I apply it twice after toner and finish with a cream.
Cons
While the overall quality of Layer Lab products is excellent, they do come with a higher price tag. Although they can't be considered expensive compared to high-end cosmetics, they're on the pricier side among products we can easily purchase online. It's best to keep an eye out for launches or sales when buying.
Tip
For better results, apply this product after using a toner or lightweight serum, or after applying a functional serum.

It absorbs really well, and when used before retinol, your skin feels amazing the next day!
Cons
I can't think of any downsides. The ingredients are gentle, and I'd definitely recommend it.

It absorbs slowly but tackles deep dryness effectively. I've repurchased it.
Cons
It's challenging to apply in the morning, so I use just a tiny amount. However, it's the best I've found for combating deep dryness.

I've been using this for about 3 months, morning and evening, and after just a week, my skin texture improves! I was initially concerned about the glow, but then I learned it's supposed to form a protective barrier. Aha, so that's a good thing! I'm still using it!! I've tried everything from toner layering to various other methods, but this works so much better. My skin used to get red and itchy, but since using this, those issues have disappeared. I'm loving it!
Cons
It's all great except for the fact that the container opening gets a bit messy!
Tip
When applied morning and evening along with a cream, it seems to gradually improve the skin barrier

To be honest, there's not much positive to say about this product. It's quite disappointing.
Cons
I'm the type of person who would apply anything, even mud, if it worked. I don't care about smell or texture - I just want clear results. I bought this for its soothing and barrier-strengthening properties, but it had absolutely no effect, so I'm giving it one star. It also didn't improve whitening or elasticity. On sensitive days, the formula even felt like it was causing a burning sensation.

If it provides good hydration and suits your skin, it seems like a gentle product you could use comfortably. I didn't experience any significant irritation.
Cons
I have combination dehydrated skin, but this serum felt excessively rich, so I didn't reach for it often. It didn't even help strengthen my skin barrier. When I used my usual amount, my skin would become red and blotchy, and blemishes would appear. I barely managed to finish the bottle by using a small amount before my moisturizer or applying it liberally on my neck. They claim it's suitable for all skin types, but it seems more appropriate for dry skin. I absolutely wouldn't recommend this to those with oily skin or anyone who dislikes an overly rich feeling.

I'm such a big fan of Jeina that I ordered two cleansing foams and have been using them well. Unfortunately, this product just didn't seem to agree with my skin.
Cons
The absorption was really good. However, after applying all the cream, I felt a slight warmth on my face, and when I looked in the mirror, I noticed some redness had appeared. I thought I might get used to it, so I waited for a while, but the heat on my face persisted, forcing me to wash it off. The disappointing part is that I wish they had provided samples first so I could have tried it out before purchasing.

It's soft, supple, and deeply moisturizing. You can apply it generously even after cosmetic procedures without any worries.
Cons
The thick texture is both a pro and a con... You might need to be careful with the amount you use for morning makeup.

It feels moisturizing and seems to calm my skin. I think it even brightens my complexion.
Cons
I'm not sure if the blemishes that appeared are due to this serum or the retinol.
