APRIL SKIN - august.serenade review for Carrotene Clarifying Serum

❤️ 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗘 🔻𝗔𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗺 ▪️Non-comedogenic serum to strengthens skin barrier, prevent future breakouts and speeds up skin cell renewal cycle. Ingredients: 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙖-𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙚 (fight off bumps, blemishes and breakouts), 𝙉𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙚 (soothes redness, fades hyperpigmentation and dark spots) and 𝙃𝙮𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝘼𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙨 & 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙨 (hydrates and calm the skin). Sturdy pump bottle, price USD24+ for 37ml. ❥ It’s viscous almost like lotioney texture, has strong funky chemical scent and it lingers for a while, almost overpowering but somehow with time I learnt to live with it. Dewy-shine finish without greasiness. 🔴 𝗔𝗖𝗡𝗘-𝗦𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗺 + 𝟰𝟬% 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗺 I chose this combination because I have a few breakouts on my cheeks resulting from hormonal acne. From testing them both in two weeks time, I experienced no irritation and I also didn’t have new breakouts within that time frame. However, for acne-healing or fading hyperpigmentation, I didn’t notice much difference, of course the time frame was only two weeks, I’ll continue to use both since I actually quite like the finish, although it’s a bit extra on the ‘shine’, for my dry skin, I feel like they give my skin a healthy glow.
