I already had a bit of a sheen, but this isn't just a surface shine - it's more like a radiance that comes from within? I really liked that kind of natural luminosity. The hydration lasts for a long time. Even a while after applying the serum, my skin doesn't feel tight, which was especially nice in this dry weather we've been having. The application feels great. It's not too runny or too heavy, so when you smooth it on, it spreads easily and somehow makes your skin feel comfortable. There's a sense that it refines the skin texture. The rough or uneven areas seem to have calmed down, and makeup definitely applies more smoothly now. The color is subtly pretty. There's a soft pink tint that makes you feel good when you apply it, like it's bringing life to your face? It's not heavy, so I use it without worry in the morning. Even if I apply makeup right after, there's no pilling. Instead, it seems to make my skin look even better. Two days ago, someone complimented me on my skin!
ConsThe amount dispensed with one pump is a bit much. It was a little tricky to control the pump at first, so too much product would come out. Now I've gotten the hang of it and can use it properly.
TipIn the evening, I applied a second layer, and the next day my skin felt less tight and my makeup went on more smoothly.

The essence has a pink color and quite a rich texture. Those with dry skin will definitely love this formula, though it might be a bit heavy for oily skin types. That said, it wasn't excessively oily or anything like that. 2. I have super sensitive skin that reacts to even the slightest incompatible ingredient, but this applied comfortably and smoothly.
ConsI couldn't really find any specific drawbacks. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that despite being an essence, the texture is quite thick...

But when the product arrived a couple days later and I applied it, I felt my skin condition improving quickly! My skin texture got much better too! It seems like a product that could work well even when your skin is super sensitive. While it doesn't absorb lightning-fast, it's still one of the quicker ones among the cosmetics I use. I liked that the package lid fits snugly, and the pump-type dispenser made it convenient to use! I haven't used it long enough to notice any major drawbacks with the packaging.
ConsIt has a rose scent, so those who dislike artificial fragrances might not be fans! I noticed the rose scent when using it, but I don't pay much attention to fragrances and found this one pleasant, so it was fine for me.

Minimal stickiness > Usually, serums are applied towards the end of your skincare routine and often leave a sticky residue. However, the Real Barrier product has minimal stickiness after application, making it less burdensome. It's easy to manage even in summer if you apply a small amount. 2. Excellent absorption > The texture itself is neither too runny like water nor too thick. It spreads easily with just a light touch, absorbs well into the skin, and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. PDRN has been incredibly popular lately, and I was curious about it. It seems there's a good reason why it's becoming so famous!
ConsThose with very oily skin or those who dislike heavy textures might find it a bit overwhelming. As time passes, it can feel slightly sticky, but it's more like the bouncy texture you see in other serums. This aspect might vary from person to person! My skin is combination dehydrated and somewhat sensitive, but it worked well for me!
TipI recommend testing it for about 3 days, applying small amounts to see what quantity works best for your skin! Even if it's a good cosmetic product, what matters most is how well it suits your skin.

The texture is light yet moisturizing, which worked well for my combination dehydrated skin. But the real magic happened the next morning - when I went to wash my face, I was stunned by the glow and complexion! It was as if someone had turned on a light inside my skin, giving me that radiant, brightened look. Even though I received this through a review event, I've been recommending it to all my friends!
ConsIf I had to nitpick, I wish the formula was transparent. That would have made it even better!

It absorbs lightly the moment you apply it, leaving skin hydrated! With all the fine dust lately, I've been getting blemishes, but this seems to calm the redness and improve skin texture. It doesn't pill when applying makeup either!
ConsI wish the volume was a bit larger! Also, compared to that IOPE product, it didn't give quite the same intense tightening sensation.

The texture is slightly viscous, and it absorbs into the skin after gently rolling it on and waiting a bit. I have my regular skincare routine, but I decided to add this Real Barrier product to it. PDRN serums are usually quite sticky, but the Real Barrier serum has a clear texture, making it comfortable to use. Recommended skin types: I think it could be suitable for most skin types, except for very sensitive or blemish-prone skin. I often mix this serum with my moisturizer after applying it, and it blends well, which is great.
ConsWhile the texture is lightweight for a PDRN serum and I appreciated the lack of fragrance, it caused a few whiteheads on my sensitive, blemish-prone skin. I've since stopped using the product.
TipAfter applying toner, let the serum absorb fully. If it suits your skin, I recommend mixing the serum with your moisturizer before applying. This method allows for good absorption without feeling too heavy on the skin.

Gentle on skin I have sensitive skin and often experience stinging or irritation with high-concentration skincare products, but this one caused no discomfort at all. 2. Blemish soothing When the product arrived, I had a small pustule. After applying this and sleeping, I woke up to find the yellow part of the pustule had shrunk and the red surrounding area had calmed down - it was amazing. In just one day?? I usually apply a regenerating cream before bed, but that alone hadn't shown much effect for days. Whether it was the synergy of the two or just this product alone, I saw a soothing effect on my red blemish. 3. Bouncy and hydrating After use, my skin felt bouncy with minimal tightness. I'm not sure how it would perform in the dead of winter (December-January), but right now in spring, my usually tight cheeks aren't complaining. If I follow up with a moisturizing cream, it should be fine.
Cons1. Not for those who dislike stickiness Personally, I prefer the bouncy feeling, but I wouldn't recommend this to those who prefer a fresh finish. 2. The lid area (see photo) After pumping, when you close the lid, it tends to drip or smear as shown in the photo, making it easily messy. This needs improvement. If structural changes aren't possible, perhaps changing to a non-transparent lid would be better... 3. Color This is my first time using skincare with this color. It looks like diluted slime, giving a somewhat cheap impression. I wish the color was more neutral.
TipWhen a blemish starts to appear, applying a generous amount of this before bed had a soothing effect. Hope this helps!
