$52

Disclosures first: I got this amongst several other items on extreme discount at a K-Beauty event in LA. But as I worked through my huge haul, this clearly became the winner!
Also, I already had a skincare routine I was happy with: steady morning and evening ones that I don’t mess with much. But there’s a place in there for “actives,” where normally I’d apply retinol, and I initially slotted this in twice a week instead.
This serum, along with the PDRN Nutritive Cream from the same brand, changed my skin almost immediately. I was content with my skin beforehand; I was ECSTATIC about it after. It is probably gross how much time I spent admiring my skin in the mirror on mornings when I had applied this the night before.
But there you have it! I now use it maybe 4 or 5 nights out of the week and I have never loved my skin more. Be sure to have an exfoliator in your routine though — this, like retinol, causes a lot of cell turnover and without exfoliation, you can get little clogged pores/bumps/pimples. I use a simple glycolic acid toner from The Ordinary.
Ultimately, try folding it into your routine for soft, bouncy, full-feeling skin!
