ProsAs someone in their mid-to-late 30s whose skin is gradually losing its luster... I'm really glad products like this exist! These days, even without makeup and just sunscreen, I can see my skin looking dull, which is surely a sign of aging.
I usually keep my skincare routine simple, just applying toner and a hydrating cream. I think I do this because I dislike sticky textures. However, this routine hasn't shown dramatic effects on brightening or wrinkles.
This product, though, seems to have shown some dramatic results, which I'm quite satisfied with. As a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkle improvement, I noticed my skin looked a bit brighter right after application, probably because I haven't been taking good care of it lately.
I've been hearing a lot about 'toning shots' lately, including from D*so, but this was my first time trying one. There was indeed a slight tingling sensation - it wasn't painful, just interesting since it was my first experience. It made me think it might be regenerating the skin by creating micro-injuries. It could be a placebo effect, but I feel like my skin has brightened a bit.
As described, the product isn't sticky, which I love. I'm not a fan of sticky cosmetics, so this was really good. The scent is slightly lemony and not off-putting at all.
The container says it's good for about 30 uses, which seems like good value for money if it's effective! Oh, and for usage, apply it after cleansing and toning, at the serum step. I applied toner, then this serum, waited a while, and then applied my moisturizer. It didn't feel like it took forever to absorb, though this might vary depending on your skin type.
ConsI didn't experience any major issues with blemishes or discomfort in using it. The tingling sensation was expected...
TipI applied it in the order of toner > serum > cream.
