However, Cica is supposed to help me with my acne troubles as well but it didn't really do much. I use this with the VT serum and cica sunblock but whenever I'd have pimple breakouts, it didn't really help them dry up quick. So the cons:
🤷‍♀️ pricey. I can get the same results with cheaper skin toners
🤷‍♀️ smells kinda strong but doesn't really linger for long
🤷‍♀️ not too effective in terms of healing acne

I used this for 4 months and I would say it's okay in terms of hydration. The texture is kinda thick so one layer really feels like it leaves a moisture film. This moisture film also helps me achieve the "glass skin" look so I like using this before makeup. To sum up what I like about it:
✅️ very hydrating
✅️ gets absorbed in just a few seconds
✅️ doesn't sting 

I don't really have anything bad to say about this serum. But I guess I'm not a fan of its scent. It smells kinda like orange zest (?) but stronger.

I have used this for 2 consecutive years and my skin love it! I'm on my 3rd bottle and ever since using it, my skin rarely broke out. Whenever I'd get hormonal acne, I noticed how using this serum helped dry and heal the pimple out. Here are the top 5 reasons why it has become a skincare staple for me:
✅️ Lightweight, no sticky feeling
✅️ Gives healthy-looking dewiness
✅️ Affordable and a little goes a long way
✅️ Helps heal my acne
✅️ Can be used under makeup as it doesn't make my face oil up
