Torriden Balanceful Cica Serum 45 ingredients
saw no difference in my skin, but it wasn't irritating. wouldn't recommend cuz it literally did nothing... no help with acne, irritation, or hydration.
I bought this expecting it to be soothing and calming for my skin, but I don't think it helped at all in that aspect. This does feel nice and hydrating, but it didn't help with my active breakouts at all and it may have even worsened them.
Update: I ended up giving it away because it was definitely not working with my skin, I think it clogged my pores. However, the friend I gave it to loves it! Show more
