This is the new packaging/name of Deep Sea Droplet Serum and my review is for both. I read about this serum on SkinSort.com as gentle for sensitive skin yet beneficial for anti-aging with mushroom extract for dark spots and peptides. I use it in the morning and it helps with anti-redness. Instead of Hyaluronic Acid it has glycerin which adds moisture to the skin. Great value and is anti fungal Show more

Mildly hydrating. I thought this wasn’t doing anything, but after finishing off a bottle and removing it from my routine, I’m getting acne again in the way I used to before I had any routine at all. Seems it was helping with my acne all along, it’s just not enough on its own for hydration. I’ll be adding this back into my routine!

TL;DR: Safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Expensive, but lasts me a long time. Doesn't pill.

I tried the moisturizer first, then bought this, and I think I like this more. I use this on rotation with my prescription actives, and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It also didn't break me out, which is amazing, and goes on smooth. It doesn't pill with my other products, and I've had this Show more

When I bought their moisturizer (which became my HG), it came with a sample of this. I used it up and immediately liked it enough to invest in a full size (invest bc this brand isn't cheap:/). I'm suprised both their products are THIS good, whoever formulates this is a genius.

This doesn't break me out, clog my pores, irritate me, nothing. It's FA safe. It hydrates my skin and makes it GLOWY. Show more
