I thought this was a little over-hyped but oh boy I never knew I needed a product like this in my routine so bad! I can tell the difference on my skin even after only 2 weeks. It soothes, moisturizes (not like a moisturizer obv) and I believe it prevents redness. I also observed some improvement on my fine lines but that can also be my vitamin c serum doing its job. I apply this essence every day in my morning routine before my sunscreen. I kinda find it too much to put moisturizer before spf so this was a perfect addition to replace that step. It also plumps the skin so it’s a perfect base for makeup. I’m so happy I tried it and I’ll continue using it for sure. 

Edit: I bought my second bottle. 

This lip balm has a very thick formula and it’s almost like a lip mask. I put it on my lips when I’m going to bed at night and it sits on the lips all night long. I wake up with soft and hydrated lips and it feels great. I find it a little too thick for daytime use but it’s great if you’re gonna put on a liquid matte lipstick. As someone who is obsessed with hydrated lips I can say that this product passed the test, especially for this price. It has a fruity smell. 

This didn’t break me out too bad but it felt too much for me, so I started mixing it with my moisturizer and I only use it 2-3 times a week. 

As someone who has combination/oily skin, I thought I needed a niacinamide serum after all the hype. However, I think the percent of it (and the ingredient list of course!) is really important. The amount of niacinamide other products have in them can be sufficient especially if you’re prone to breakouts. 

This isn’t a miracle in a tube and the pimple will sure take time to go away. 

This spot treatment is overall good and efficient. I use it in two different ways. 

1- just like a serum I put it on and tap on the area.
2- I put a sufficient amount on a specific area and leave it without tapping or blending into the skin and let it dry, leave it for hours (if I have an individual, ginormous, juicy pimple).

It doesn’t leave a green residue if you blend it. 

Experienced a little pilling but I’m not sure if it was 100% because of this serum. 

I was looking for a beginner friendly vitamin c serum and when I read the reviews of this product it seemed like a good match for me. I finished a bottle and I can say that I saw improvement on my PIE. I never struggled with severe acne but my skin type can be really unpredictable. I believe it prevents breakouts in a way and also helped with my fine lines. I keep it in its box to prevent it from oxidizing faster.
