tried it bc ppl kept saying it’s a holy grail but idk didn’t really do much for me
texture’s fine not super thick goes on kinda jelly-like which i usually like but this one didn’t settle that well on my skin
﹒felt like it stayed on the surface instead of absorbing
﹒gave a bit of a glow but more like shiny not dewy
﹒had to blot more than usual mid-day
﹒not great under makeup pilled around nose and chin especially with matte foundation
﹒no stinging or irritation tho so that’s good i guess
for reference i have combo skin my t-zone’s oily but cheeks can get a bit dry
i use BOJ relief sun regularly and that one just blends better sits better and feels more breathable
this one made me feel like i was wearing something which i hate in summer
tried it for 10 days didn’t break me out but i got 2 closed comedones near my jawline which is rare for me
not saying it’s bc of this but it’s sus
packaging’s cute tho minimal no scent that i noticed which is a plus
but honestly it’s kinda forgettable i’ll finish the bottle bc i paid for it but i won’t repurchase
if your skin’s super dry and you don’t layer much under it maybe it’ll work better
but i’d rather use something that disappears into my skin not sits on top
final thought: not the worst not the best
a meh 6/10
What ended up working best for me was:
Toner: Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
Serum: Torriden Dive-In Serum (hydrates without weight)
Cream: Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream (it’s lightweight but still locks things in without being greasy)
Sunscreen: Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
This combo leaves my skin fresh and hydrated, and nothing pills—even when I reapply the sunscreen later in the day. It’s especially great on days when I skip makeup but still want my skin to look healthy.
Only thing I adjust is the cream amount. On really humid days, I go super light or skip it entirely. But overall? This routine’s been such a smooth operator 🧴🌿✨
