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.

The serum itself was still pretty clear, so I wasn’t applying an old or bad product, but when exposed to oxygen while on my face it began to STAIN it as Show more
