I love this product so so much!! Honestly, I thought the comments were kinda exaggerating but, oh my, was I wrong. This is such a good serum. The fact that it’s fungal acne safe and non comedogenic??? And it literally has the rating 100/100 for me so props to the app/site.
No, but now to the point. This literally calms down my face so so much. As someone that had a really broken skin barrier Show more
This serum is a must-have for oily skin! It's extremely effective, especially when used in the morning plus at night. I've noticed a big reduction in sebum production on my skin, as well as a slight effectiveness on redness and marks. However, it's not very effective on active blemishes, and mainly helps to limit their future appearance. On the plus side, it's quite moisturizing.
