Look. I wasn’t planning to like this.

When I first opened the bottle, I rolled my eyes so hard I gave myself a headache. Another clear, watery ampoule claiming to “soothe and hydrate.” I’ve been hurt before. And let’s be honest — 9 out of 10 times, my skin drinks up these kinds of serums like they’re air, and then proceeds to stay dry underneath like the desert.

But this? THIS?? Actually did something.

It didn’t feel rich, it didn’t leave a film, and it definitely didn’t smell like anything. But somehow, my skin stopped feeling tight by lunchtime. The usual flaky patches around my nose? Gone. That weird hollow dryness I get between my brows? Disappeared like it was never there.

The texture is deceptively thin, but it sinks in fast and gives that calm, bouncy finish that makes you blink at the mirror like, “Wait… is my barrier actually happy??”

And the best part? No breakouts. None. My skin was like, “Finally, a guest who knows how to behave.”

So yeah. Do I feel like it changed my life? Not exactly.

But did it sneakily heal my dehydrated skin and make my skin lowkey thrive?

Unfortunately… yes.

Ugh. I hate that I love this.
