Stylevana PR PACKAGE

If you're already using strong retinoids or tretinoin, you might find this a bit underwhelming. 

I recently tried the K‑SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Serum (2% Retinal Liposome + Black Ginseng), and I’m genuinely impressed. From the first few nights, I noticed how lightweight and soothing it felt—no irritation or peeling, just a smooth, hydrating texture. No irritation, no weird peeling… just smooth sailing. Plus, it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling like I’ve truly moisturized—yet it’s still silky and not greasy at all.

After a few weeks of consistent nightly use (starting slow and working up), I saw real improvements: my skin texture became noticeably smoother, my pores looked refined, and I had a radiant glow each morning.

As someone who values glowing, smooth, hydrated skin without irritation, this Seoul 1988 Serum has been a standout in my routine. It’s beginner-friendly but still effective, and an accessible alternative to stronger retinoids. If you're ready to dip your toes into retinal with peace of mind—and a noticeable boost in glow—this serum is a great place to start.

If I had to point out one drawback, it would be that the results aren't super fast. It takes a few weeks of consistent use to really notice the difference — so if you're looking for instant gratification, this might not give you that. Also, while the formula is gentle, it may feel almost too light for those with very dry skin who need something richer.

That said, for anyone looking to improve their skin's texture and bounce gradually with a well-formulated, no-fuss product, this is absolutely worth trying.

I've been using the COSRX 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say it's become a staple in my skincare routine. As someone with combination skin that's prone to dullness and the occasional breakout, I'm always looking for products that can help improve texture and overall skin health without being too harsh—and this serum delivers beautifully.

The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It layers well with other serums and moisturizers, making it incredibly easy to incorporate into both morning and night routines. The ingredient list is impressive—six types of peptides that target different skin concerns like elasticity, firmness, and fine lines, along with panthenol and allantoin to soothe and hydrate.

What I noticed most is the visible improvement in my skin’s texture and brightness. My complexion looks more even, and my skin feels plumper and more resilient. I also appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and doesn’t irritate my sensitive areas.

Overall, COSRX has done an excellent job with this serum. It’s effective, gentle, and feels luxurious without the hefty price tag. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade their skincare with something targeted yet gentle.

Minimal effects, especially in terms of hydration or barrier repair. Results can vary based on individual skin types and concerns. 

What I Love:

Gentle & Lightweight: The ampoule has a watery texture that absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, making it easy to layer with other products.
Calming Effect: noticeable reduction in redness and irritation.


You’ll likely need another hydrating cream underneath or on top if you have dry or dehydrated skin.

The first thing I noticed is how soothing this cream is. I usually apply it as the last step of my nighttime routine, especially when my skin feels stressed, red, or reactive. It instantly calms any irritation, and by morning, my skin always looks less inflamed and more even-toned.
It’s especially helpful after exfoliating, or if I’ve gone a little too hard with actives like retinol or acids. It doesn't clog my pores, and it seems to help speed up healing after a breakout or when my skin barrier feels compromised.

The texture is really interesting — it’s a silky, lightweight cream that has a bit of a balm-like feel, but it’s not greasy at all. It goes on blue (thanks to guaiazulene), but that disappears as you rub it in. It absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, satin finish — not oily, not matte — just comfortable.

* Soothes irritation almost instantly
* Great for sensitive or compromised skin
* Lightweight, non-greasy texture
* Doesn’t break me out
* A little goes a long way
* Perfect for layering, especially at night

This isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” moisturizer, but as a targeted calming treatment, it’s honestly one of the best I’ve tried.


I’ve been using the Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop for a few days now, and I have to say — this serum surprised me. It’s marketed as an anti-aging product, but it’s so lightweight and gentle that it’s easy to incorporate into any routine, even if you have sensitive skin like mine.

To be honest, I didn’t expect dramatic results overnight, but over time, I’ve definitely noticed that my skin feels smoother, a bit more refined, and overall just healthier. I’m in the stage where I’m trying to prevent fine lines more than treat them, and this serum feels perfect for that. It’s like a quiet achiever — not flashy, but it gets the job done behind the scenes.
What I really like is that it works without irritating my skin. I can use it right after exfoliating or alongside actives like retinol, and it actually helps calm things down instead of adding more sensitivity.

The texture is super watery, almost like a toner or essence. It sinks in immediately and doesn’t leave any stickiness or residue. I use 2–3 drops and gently pat it in — it’s so fast-absorbing that I don’t have to wait long to layer other products.
It’s also fragrance-free and colorless, which I really appreciate since my skin can be picky.

* Gentle enough for daily use, even with sensitive skin
* Contains EGF and bFGF, which are great for skin repair and early anti-aging
* Super lightweight and fast-absorbing
* No fragrance or irritation
* Works well with other actives
