๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’— Not me thinking I found the oneโ€ฆ turns out it was just a summer fling ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒธ

So I caved and got the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum because EVERY TikTok girlie was like โ€œomg holy grail ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—โ€ and the bottle? GORGEOUS. Like, pastel aesthetic? Yes please ๐Ÿฉท But girl... let me tell you what really went down ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’—

โ €
๐Ÿฉท First day I used it, I was like omg this texture??? Cloudy gel perfection. It felt like applying a dewy dream ๐Ÿ’ง
๐Ÿฉท Absorbs fast, didnโ€™t sting, and my face looked glowy af โœจ
๐Ÿฉท Wore it under makeup and it didnโ€™t pill?? I was SHOCKED. Literally texted my bestie like โ€œis this finally it??โ€ ๐Ÿ’•

โ €
But then... she betrayed me ๐Ÿ’”
๐Ÿฉท Around hour 3, my T-zone said โ€œparty timeโ€ ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ I could fry an egg on my forehead
๐Ÿฉท Started noticing teeny lilโ€™ bumps on my cheeks?? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Like excuse me, I thought this was calming...
๐Ÿฉท Also I think it messed with my mascara? My eyes started stinging midday and I was in the office like ๐Ÿซ 

โ €
And listen, Iโ€™m a combo skin girly. If youโ€™re dry-dry? Like, desert cactus dry? Maybe thisโ€™ll work for you. But if youโ€™re like me and have oil popping up like surprise guests? Nah.
Itโ€™s giving hydration serum with a side of SPF, not the other way around. And for the price? I expected NO breakouts, thank you very much ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿฉท

 

 

 

โ €
๐Ÿ’— Better options IMO?
๐Ÿฉท Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen โ€“ matte, weightless, and actually stays on
๐Ÿฉท Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun โ€“ Korean too, but smoother and more reliable for combo skin
๐Ÿฉท Eucerin Oil Control SPF โ€“ like, clinical and boring but WORKS

โ €
๐Ÿ’— Final thoughts ๐Ÿ’—
Sheโ€™s cute, sheโ€™s trendy, and she might work for someone who doesnโ€™t sweat when walking 10 feet ๐Ÿซฃ But me? I need protection and performance.
Iโ€™ll finish the bottle on neck and hands (bc waste not ๐Ÿ’…) but repurchase? Thatโ€™s a no for me, sweetie ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

โ €
Ok bbys, catch u in the next skincare spiral ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ›๏ธ Let me know if yโ€™all want the lowdown on any of my other SPF flings โœจ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

    Not me adding this to my โ€œwear once and use on hands foreverโ€ drawer ๐Ÿ˜… at this point I should just start a skincare graveyard.

    I wanted to love this SO bad ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Like you, I was totally seduced by the TikTok girlies and the pretty bottleโ€ฆ but yeah, after 3 days I got those tiny bumps too. I thought I was going crazy. Glad itโ€™s not just me ๐Ÿ™ƒ

    Tbh I think brands forget that combo skin exists sometimes ๐Ÿ’€ Itโ€™s always like: โ€œdewy glow!โ€ or โ€œmatte AFโ€ with nothing in between. I actually ended up mixing this with the BOJ Relief Sun like 50/50 and it kinda balanced things out for me? Not perfect but better than wasting the whole bottle lol.
