If I leave it on my skin while rubbing in for more than 40 seconds I find it can be a bit on the drying side, Ive found that rinsing off pretty quickly helps get the effect I want . The problem is it makes sunscreen difficult to get off.. I am going to try double cleansing with an oil based cleanser soon so I don&#39;t need to go in with this one twice to get all the sunscreen&#47;avoid the drying effect by pre-conditioning my skin.

This is so cleansing that I feel like I didn&#39;t ever get clean skin until I had used this product... Of course I am comparing it to plain water so it definitely should be better I suppose.

If you avoid fragrance on products this isn't for you but I have grown to like the typical Korean skincare scents that this is in line with, with it mostly being like a floral centella scent. Anyway be careful to not use too much as this is strong. I think sometimes the weaker retinol products are better for beginners so this is only for if you already have experience with retinol. 

I received this product for free from Picky and SOME BY MI in exchange for my honest review. This stuff is amazing. Make sure you use it knowing of your retinol tolerance! I don't mind the slight scent, it is pleasant and goes away quickly. Absorbs into skin quickly. This has a little bit of everything: peptide, ceramide, retinol, retinal, etc... a super serum!

It's a bit sticky for a while after it dries... but that seems to go away once I get my sunscreen on top of it. Also,  It has a really thin consistancy so it can be difficult to make sure it all gets where it's going unless you use the strategy of dropping directly onto face while tilting your head back. I like my serum's being a bit thicker to avoid having to do that. 

I received this product for free from Picky and TIA'M in exchange for my honest review. This is great stuff! I noticed a difference in my acne scars slightly fading after a couple weeks of use. (Note I was using other new products too, and I'm just thinking this was the one to do so because of it's ingredients)

Bummer they don&#39;t disclose the amount of the semi active ingredients like niacinamide or ceramides, and the type of dispenser lets air get into the container which might not be so good for it staying as great quality for a long time.

Dang I wanted to try other moisturizing products after this but it works so well and I can get away with a little going a long way that this might just be something I keep buying again and again.

When I haven&#39;t used it in a few days I can feel it cleaning my pores with a somewhat itchy but more like a tingling feeling but it is temporary and goes away after an hour or so. The more I use it the less the feeling so it&#39;s quite an addicting product... Problem with that is it&#39;s also possible to over exfoliate and make the skin sensitive... Gotta find the balance for your skin type and you are good to go. Or maybe this product isn&#39;t for you

This is amazing, nothing I can really say adds to what others have already said. It is not over hyped and deserves all the hype it&#39;s gotten over the years. I&#39;ll experiment with other exfoliators if I have the money and intrigued but this will always be what I come back to
