Hmm, can't really think of any downsides.
I might have applied too much, but I had to pat it in several times to help it absorb.

Wow, my skin has improved and the redness has significantly reduced!
This stuff is absolutely amazing, I'm totally blown away!

밸런스풀 시카 컨트롤 세럼

While it didn't work for me, everyone's skin is different, so it might be perfect for someone else!

They claim it has a calming effect, but honestly, I couldn't really tell. I'm also not sure if it had any impact on sebum control... I tend to produce a lot of oil in the summer, so even after a month of use, I didn't notice much difference.

What made me think it wasn't great at controlling oil was that I kept getting small pimples on my nose that would appear and disappear in cycles. Not ideal!

I've been using this for about a month, and to cut to the chase, I won't be repurchasing it!

I don't typically have major blemishes, just issues with pores, redness, skin warmth, and occasional minor breakouts. So, I can't really speak to its effectiveness on serious blemishes. I did get a few small spots while using it, but I don't think they were caused by this product!

I'm not sure about its ability to calm redness or reduce skin warmth. However, I must say the absorption and texture are really great. It might be good for those who want a quick, fuss-free application. It feels more focused on hydration than calming, if that makes sense...?

So far, I haven't found any downsides, but it's a bit disappointing how quickly I'm going through the product.

It's wonderfully hydrating without any stickiness. When I apply makeup after using this, it really helps my makeup go on smoothly and last longer.

토리든 세럼은 초록색 보다는 파란색 추천드려요

생각보다는 진정이 잘 안됐고 양이 생각보다 적음.

2025.06.15, 진정이 조금은 되는 느낌이 들었고 쿨링감이 괜찮음

It feels a bit rich and has a thick consistency, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I decided to give this a try since it claims to help control sebum production.
I've been dealing with some small bumps lately, so I gave it a shot and it's really quite good.
It's great for calming the skin and I'm quite pleased with it.

When I used Dermafactory's Niacinamide alone, it was slightly irritating, but it works perfectly when combined with this serum!

I recommend using the soothing serum alone on dry areas,
and mixing it with niacinamide on areas prone to blemishes!

The more I touch my skin, the more irritation I seem to feel, so I prefer to apply the product and let it absorb on its own. However, this product doesn't absorb particularly quickly.

Compared to the Dr.G soothing serum I used before, Dr.G had faster absorption.

While I thought it was okay while using it, it wasn't quite at the level where I'd stock up on it during Olive Young sales...

I used two bottles in total from June 6th to June 27th!
(Applied twice each morning and evening)

I bought this because it's supposed to be good for soothing the skin. While it didn't completely eliminate my blemishes, it seemed to help reduce their occurrence.

My forehead hairline and nose-chin area tend to break out when I use oily products, while my eye area and philtrum are usually quite dry. The fact that I didn't experience dryness or blemishes suggests this is a well-balanced serum!

With proper amount control, I think this could work well for all skin types.

Since I have combination dehydrated skin, the finish was a bit too light, which left my skin feeling slightly dry. Make sure to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer after using this!

My face was a mess with blemishes and redness, but after using this ampoule, it got so much better! The absorption is great - it's not sticky at all and feels refreshingly light on the skin.

The finish left my skin feeling tacky and didn't absorb quickly, which I didn't like.
I was also disappointed that I couldn't really notice any significant soothing effects.

I tried a sample of the renewed product first. It has a slightly viscous texture that doesn't run or drip, giving it a nice, firm feel.

I apply two layers of this and then just a thin coating of moisturizer on top.

You might want to apply a toner for some hydration before using this ampoule! Using this alone can leave your skin feeling a bit dry.

I snagged this during Olive Young's sale without much thought, and it turned out to be a real gem! I was worried since my face is prone to mysterious allergic reactions, but the lightweight formula is fantastic and really helps calm my reddened skin! I think this would work wonders for those with blemish-prone skin!

I recommend applying it consistently to oily areas like I did, or to any areas prone to blemishes. You'll definitely see results!

I purchased this during a sale and event period for about 14,000 won. Without these discounts, the regular price might make me hesitate a bit before buying.

May 31 to June 23 - One Month Review

I was intrigued by this new release from Torriden and decided to give it a try. After deliberating among the most popular hyaluronic acid serums, I chose this one and was pleasantly surprised by how satisfied I am.

My skin is combination, leaning towards sensitive and oily. While I don't often get cystic acne, I do struggle with blackheads and excess sebum. After a month of concentrated use on my oily areas, I'm thrilled to report that my blackheads have completely vanished! This made it so much easier to apply scar treatments and other ointments. Usually, when I layer other serums, my skin sometimes feels overwhelmed, leading to excess oil and more blackheads - which I absolutely hate. This serum, however, has effectively addressed these issues, leaving me very satisfied.

It works wonderfully when used with other products from the same Torriden line.

However, I'm not sure if it's because I applied too much or if it's due to my oily skin, but it feels a bit greasy.

It's fantastic! The soothing effect is incredible, and it provides excellent hydration. I love how moisturizing it is. The texture isn't watery, but rather a thicker, gel-like consistency.

Depending on my skin condition, I sometimes mix it with pantothenic acid powder when it feels a bit too rich for my liking.

It feels slightly oily, not exactly refreshing. And to be honest, I'm not sure if it's really making much of a difference...

It's so hydrating and perfect for everyday use! I've been using it when my skin is acting up. Highly recommended for combination dehydrated skin.

I have combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone. When I apply this before bed and wake up in the morning, my nose area becomes excessively oily... sigh.

It absorbs well and sinks into the skin nicely! While it's not extremely sticky, there's a slight tackiness to it. After using it for about two weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in my blemishes. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I really appreciated how hydrating it was!
