9/10: very effective and it faded my dark spots very quickly. I have also made my boyfriend get this, and he has also noticed a difference very quickly. ❌ Deducting one point just because it stings if you use it on a compromised skin barrier or any t...
Anua - Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum - YesStyle
10/10. less sticky than anua so it is more pleasant to use and it also doesn't sting as much on broken skin. I do feel like it is similar in terms of effectiveness as well. It has a very mild rosewater scent.
medicube - TXA Niacinamide 15 Serum - YesStyle
10/10: worth the hype because it is soothing and suitable for all skin types- like a magic water. It has simple ingredients and would work well for anyone. I would repurchase, but I still do not think it is essential in a routine- it is soothing and ... won't cause any breakout unless you are allergic to centella.
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Asiatica 100 Ampoule | YesStyle
7/10: it was decent but not worth all the hype for me. I expected more hydration- if you have dry skin, there are more hydrating serums out there. I have used other hyaluronic acid serums before that make my skin feels softer.
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum
9/10. Beta glucan holds much more moisture than hyaluronic acid so if your skin is really dry or it's winter this is perfect! ✅ It has a goopier texture which is more hydrating. ‼️ but I will say that the dropper isn't that great- I have to dip in mu...
iUNIK - Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum
✅ this bottle is huge and has lasted me ages, it's one of my favourite hyaluronic acid serums and my face feels really soft in the morning. ✅ the brand also donates towards polar bears which is a plus. Nothing bad to say about this product!
mixsoon - Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum Jumbo
Didn't stand out/bad
5/10: Did not do anything, but also didn’t cause any adverse reaction. It simply did not make any difference, and I gave it to my friend who also said the same.
Anua - Peach 70 Niacin Serum
4/10: did not like this. I bought it to help with texture which is what it claims to do, and it didn't really do anything. However, I. gave this to my friend and she noticed some difference, but she said it wasn't enough to re-purchase.
numbuzin - No. 3 Skin Softening Serum
5/10: irritated my face and I saw no improvement in dark spots. disclaimer: I suspect I am sensitive to vitamin C, and that may be why I reacted. I have heard lots of good reviews on this serum so it may depend on your skin type.
numbuzin - No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum | YesStyle
6/10: a lot of people raved about this, but it did not do anything for my skin. I did not notice a difference and it also stings on broken skin. Although it is hydrating, I don't feel it is necessary and I personally preferred the skin1004 centella a...
Purito SEOUL - Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented | YesStyle
