Nacific - TasTheStuff review for Fresh Herb Origin Serum

If you're familiar with the main character from My Love from the Star (2013) or The Legend of the Blue Sea (2016) - Jun Ji-Hyun, you'll know that this product is known as her go-to skincare item. While it might not seem like a big deal, knowing that one of the funniest actresses I've seen on screen and am very familiar with uses it makes me feel more positive towards this product. It also takes me back to my high school days when I spent most of my free time watching K-dramas with friends. I'm thankful to Picky and Nacific for gifting me this product in exchange for my honest thoughts. I tested it for a few weeks, and it's definitely a unique addition to my skincare collection. As far as I know, this might be the only dual-phase serum I have. I love seeing the layers separate after shaking the bottle to use a mixture ratio. Here’s a comprehensive list to what I really liked about this product, and why I rate it a 4/5: 🪴 The brand is known for being vegan and cruelty-free. While I'm not strict about using only vegan products, it's definitely a nice touch that makes me feel confident I'm not supporting cruel practices. 🪴 Upon opening this product, I noticed a pleasant herbal scent of lemongrass, lime, and other herbs. It has a nostalgic, soft fragrance that also feels refreshing. I’m particularly sensitive to strong scents since I get migraines, but this did not trigger any issues for me. 🪴 A distinguishing feature of this product is that it contains the GD7 Complex, which includes: - Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - Niacinamide - Calcium Pantothenate - Pyridoxine HCL It also contains Vitamin B, white water lily extract, and camellia extract. This differs from their original formula, which included aloe vera leaf juice, camel grass extract, apple mint leaf extract, and white water lily extract. 🪴 I examined the ingredient list of both the previous version and the newer version that I received, and I’ve noticed many ingredient changes. While I cannot speak for the older version as I’ve never tried it, I’ve been liking the newer formula so far. 🪴 I’ve seen reviews of the previous formula stating that it caused a tingling sensation, which the brand attributed to the amino acids in their formulation. I find this particularly interesting because with the newer formula, I did not experience any tingling sensation. I wonder if this is due to the incorporation of better ingredients compared to the previous formula. 🪴 This product is suitable for combination sensitive skin that leans oily. It has been tested on acne-prone skin and is noncomedogenic approved. I haven't experienced any breakouts after using it and have had positive experiences with this product. Overall, I rate this product a 4 out of 5. It met my standards for a good skincare product and doesn't have any flaws. While I haven't seen a game-changing effect, I'm glad it didn't disrupt my skin barrier.
