New HG serum :)
Bought this on a hunch when I was travelling and I had no clue how to include it into my routine. New products either do nothing or cause me to break out within a week.

My holy grail. At first I thought it wasn’t doing much (but I kept using it as it wasn’t breaking me out), until a day I had lots of redness on my skin from an almost sunburn. This was very very calming to apply and got most of the redness down. I also appreciate how this is refillable. This is hydrating enough for my oily combo skin.
