Not sure if they can give this product a fair review but I wasn’t at all impressed with this one. I hardly saw any improvement on my skin. I might have not used it correctly but my dry skin didn’t really react very well with this. After finishing a bottle, my skin was still dry and heavily dependent on moisture and I really didn’t feel good about using it. So nope, not buying this again. Trying out some other serums/ampoules now.
about 2 months agoI use this right after my toner. So far, i’ve noticed minor changes. I truly trust in Cosrx but i’ll be giving this one 4 stars because it doesn’t really do anything groundbreaking on my blemishes. It takes a pretty long time before you see results. I probably can find something better and cheaper.
3 months agoI love this product very much (though i was very skeptic at first) ! I have been using this for a month and I have seen significant improvement in my skin. Ive been suffering from acne since high school. Using this for a month made my face so clear and fresh. No major breakout for a whole month!! My officemates also complimented me and asked what i have been using lately. I am not sure if im using this correctly hehe. Based on reviews, theirs have lasted for months but mine only lasted for a month.
6 months agoThis is a pretty good product - it calms my skin and provides a bit of moisture. It's a good addition to your skincare routine, although it probably wasn't the right product to address my skincare needs at the time. But all in all, it does keep my skin soft and smooth, but this is the first COSRX product that was just okay for me, it didn't really do as much as the other products I've tried.
6 months agoI've been using this ampule together with the Centella Blemish cream for almost a month now. So far, so good. I like how it feels when I put it on my face. At first it feels too heavy because I was so used to using Faceshop's Drops of Youth which feels like water with very bit of an oil feel in it. But I understand this is in ampule so it is expected to be heavier. I'm not exactly sure what it does to my skin, and if it really complements the Centella cream. Not sure if I'll repurchase, but this does not break me out so I think I'll finish the bottle and decide if I'll go buy another one :)
6 months agoI've been using this for 2 weeks. A couple of things to note: (1) This is drying at least for my skin. I've been applying this by putting the product straight on my fingertips and after 2 applications, my fingertips were very dry; as if I washed dishes for an hour. On the face, however, it's not as drying. My skin just feels taut and I see some lines as a result of dryness but it's not something a moisturizer can't fix. I follow the Korean 10-step skincare routine with all the essences and serum and creams and the whole shebang so the drying factor isn't a problem for me. So, having said that, I don't see it hydrating my skin at all. (2) It effectively keeps oil at bay. (3) It doesn't seem to have an effect on my blemishes though. Other products are better at fading out my blemishes. I use a lot of cosrx products that have serious (positive) effects on my skin but this one isn't for me. I like that it keeps my oily face shine- and oil-free but the other products I use are capable of doing that as well.
