It’s hydrating but makes me get small pimples all over my face :(
Thankfully not sticky like other CosRx products, but this literally does nothing, it’s the equivalent to putting some water on your skin that’s it. So far, of all the soothing serums/ampoules I’ve tried, only the anua heartleaf ampoule has shown some result.
