Oily/Sensitive

This serum has niacinamide (10%), tranexamic acid (4%) and Arbutin (2%) as key ingredients, which are useful for fading dark spots, treating hyperpigmentation, improving skin tone and making it brighter, as well as containing hyaluronic acid and botanical oils for a hydrating and soothing effect. The texture of this product is lightweight, watery, and absorbs quite quickly; at first it leaves a slightly sticky feeling on the face, but once it is completely absorbed and you have applied the moisturizer and/or sunscreen, this feeling disappears. This product can be applied both in the morning and at night, but if used in the morning, it is mandatory to apply a sunscreen with at least SPF30. This serum does not contain fragrance. I think it's a product suitable for all skin types, but especially for those with combination, oily and acne-prone skin. I have not tested this product for a long time, but so far I am liking it a lot and I think it's very good; on my skin it's working pretty well, and it hasn't caused me any kind of irritation.

This product contains 100ml; considering that you only need to apply a little product at a time, it will last me a very long time. Among the key ingredients of this ampoule we can find centella asiatica extract, niacinamide (4%), tranexamic acid (2%), madecassoside, panthenol, and papaya & apple extract; these ingredients help soothe and moisturize the skin, improve the appearance of dull skin, fade dark spots, and smooth the skin thanks to a light exfoliating effect. This product is especially suitable for those with normal, sensitive and combination skin, although I believe that even those with other skin types can benefit from using this ampoule, as it's a product that brings numerous benefits to the skin. This ampoule has a rather liquid texture, similar to a gel, with micro capsules inside (which contain the special ingredient MadeWhiteβ„’), which dissolve once the product is massaged into the face. It absorbs quite quickly, but leaves a sticky sensation; however, once it's completely absorbed and you proceed with the application of the moisturizer and/or sunscreen, this sensation disappears. This ampoule is cruelty-free and free of artificial fragrances; you don't perceive any particular smell. I always use this product once a day in the morning, after my usual cleansing and after applying the toner. I have to say that I'm really liking it: I find it to be a valid product, as it hydrates and soothes the skin, but at the same time it's also useful for treating dark spots and smoothing the skin; after using this ampoule for a while, I noticed that some of the dark spots I have are definitely less evident, and I also noticed fewer imperfections on my face. On my combination/sensitive acne-prone skin, it's working really well, and hasn't caused any breakouts.

Oily/Sensitive

The key ingredients of this product are: peptides, EGF, Niacinamide and Betaine which, together, help plump the skin, improve its texture, promote collagen and elastin production, improve skin tone, make fine lines less evident, stimulate cell renewal and hydrate the skin. It's a good serum to use daily, both morning and night, and is suitable for all skin types. It has a gel texture that is easily absorbed, without leaving residue, and doesn't grease the skin. Excellent to be applied before moisturizer and/or sunscreen. It's free of silicones, parabens, artificial fragrances, and is also cruelty-free. I haven't used this serum for a long time to see significant results, but I can say that it's working pretty well on my combination/sensitive acne-prone skin: in fact, I've noticed that it really helps to make my skin more hydrated, soft, bright and smooth. Plus, it hasn't caused me any kind of irritation. Overall, it's a product that I'm really enjoying, and I can't recommend it enough! 😊 It's the right serum if you want to improve the quality of your skin. ✨

Oily/Sensitive

This serum contains among the key ingredients centella and hyaluronic acid, and has a hydrating and soothing effect, and helps restore the skin barrier. This product is suitable for all skin types, but is especially perfect for those with sensitive skin and/or a damaged skin barrier. The serum has a very liquid texture, which is absorbed very quickly, without leaving any residue. It leaves the skin hydrated, soothed and soft. I always use it in my night skincare routine, after double cleansing and toning, and before applying moisturizer. However, it can also be used in the morning.

I've been using this serum daily for a few weeks now (usually in the morning), and I confess that I'm really enjoying it. The product comes in a rather large format: 300 ml (while serums usually contain 30 or 50 ml)! The serum contains only 5 ingredients, of which hyaluronic acid is the key one. The product is cruelty-free, and does not contain harsh chemicals and fragrance. This serum has a hydrating and soothing action, and being a delicate product, it is suitable for all skin types. In fact, I have not experienced any type of irritation using this product. The serum can be used both in the morning and in the evening, and can be applied to the face either with a cotton pad or directly with the hands. I tried both ways, and I must say that I prefer to apply it with my hands, massaging it delicately. The product absorbs quite quickly, leaving the skin hydrated, plumped and luminous, ready for subsequent treatments. I think it's a really effective product. And then, I love the packaging of this serum: I find it really very cute! πŸ’™

This serum contains tranexamic acid, pearin, vitamin C, niacinamide and centella. The first two ingredients help prevent dark spots and treat hyperpigmentation; vitamin C brightens and evens skin tone; niacinamide controls sebum production and improves the appearance of pores; finally, centella has a soothing action and protects the skin barrier. This product is vegan and cruelty-free, and is suitable for all skin types. This serum is completely unscented. This serum can be used both morning and evening; I personally used it for about two weeks, sometimes using it twice a day, while other times only in the evening. This product has a light, gel texture that absorbs quickly without leaving residues and without feeling heavy. It was the first time I had used tranexamic acid, and I was afraid that might cause me some type of irritation, but it wasn't the case. Indeed, I think it is a very delicate product, but at the same time effective: the skin appears brighter and more radiant, and dark spots begin to be less visible after a week, although it takes a few weeks to get more meaningful results.

I received this product for free from Picky and Swida in exchange for my honest review. This serum is: Cruelty free; Vegan; Essential oil free; Eco-friendly; Fragrance free. Among the main ingredients of this serum are: niacinamide, ceramides, root extract and panthenol. I was very satisfied with this product. This serum has a light gel texture, which is absorbed very quickly, without leaving residues, and immediately gives the skin a radiant appearance: in fact, the skin is hydrated, soothed and luminous. I think this serum is perfect for normal, combination and sensitive skin.

Good natural serum with hawthorn and sugar cane extract. I like the fact that it's a product with only ingredients of natural origin and that it is suitable for both the face and the eye contour area. It's a very delicate product, and absorbs quite quickly.

I've been using this serum for about a couple of weeks, and I must say that it seems like a really effective product! I'm using it in particular on some spots that I've had for some time, and after just a few days I noticed an improvement: now they're definitely smaller and faded. The serum absorbs pretty fast, and I personally really like its fragrance.

If you are looking for a soothing and hydrating product, effective but delicate, I recommend you try the HYDRA BARRIER CICA Serum by BACIEL. This product, in fact, thanks to the presence in its formula of Centella Leaf Water, Asiaticoside & Madecassoside, Ceramide Complex, Inositol (Vitamin B8), Beta-glucan and Trehalose, has an intense calming and hydrating action, taking care of the most sensitive, irritated and dry skin, and keeps the skin in good health. With the daily use of this serum, the skin is nourished, soothed, and very luminous. In addition to the properties I mentioned above, this serum helps regulate the production of sebum, and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, thanks to the niacinamide and adenosine present in its formula. This product has a light texture, which is quickly absorbed, leaving the skin fresh, soft and luminous, and does not leave the skin sticky. The serum is free of artificial fragrances, colors, parabens, and mineral oil, and therefore it's perfect for all skin types. I have been using this product for about two weeks (I use it twice a day), and I can say that I think it's a really good product, perfect for soothing and calming the skin, intensely hydrating it, and repairing and protecting the skin barrier; however, I couldn't say if it is also actually effective in making wrinkles and fine lines less evident, as it takes much longer to see the results on these types of imperfections.
