🗓️

 okay but wow. it’s officially been four weeks since I nervously opened the little blue bottle that promised to fix my hydration woes, and guess what? we’re still going strong. me and this serum? we’re in a situationship at minimum. borderline exclusive. it’s that good.

👩‍🔬 what’s changed in a month?

🫧 my skin barrier = no longer crying.
Like, you know that feeling when your face gets tight 20 minutes after washing it? Gone. Absolutely vanished. I used to reapply moisturizer like it was lip balm. Not anymore. My face feels... stable. Calm. Soft. Even my flaky nose (hi, allergy season) is behaving.

🧃 hydration levels?
Next-level. Not glass-skin levels of dewy (my skin doesn’t do that unless I’m in a sauna) but it feels hydrated all the time. I started applying it straight out of the shower while my face was still damp, and it just locks it in. Like a little sponge moment. Absorbs in seconds.

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 relationship status:
I’ve taken it on weekend trips. I’ve used it after nights out. I’ve used it when I was too tired to do more than double cleanse + this + sleep. No matter what, I wake up and I’m like okay, she’s working.

🧼 breakout check:
Zero issues. I’ve had clogged pores from other HA serums (especially the sticky ones) but not this. It’s water-light, non-greasy, and doesn’t cause those annoying little forehead bumps. Major win for combo skin girlies like me.

🎯 the best part?

It fits every routine. Lazy nights? Yes. Full 10-step routine? Still yes. Morning under SPF? Gorgeous. Night under a sleeping pack? Flawless. It never pills, never clashes, never feels like too much. It just exists quietly and makes your skin better. Like a good friend.

💙 what surprised me most

Honestly? How underrated this still feels in the US. I know it’s big in Korea and on K-beauty TikTok, but it deserves more. It’s not flashy or scented or gimmicky — it’s just a well-formulated, thoughtful serum that respects your skin.

🛍️ will I repurchase?

I already have. I ordered a backup from Stylevana before I even hit the 3-week mark. I panic-buy backups for very few things (hello Anua toner), but this one made the cut. My skin just feels wrong without it now.

📝 weird habits I picked up during this month:

· I literally tap it into my lips if they’re dry
· I mix it into cream blush for a glow boost (don’t @ me, it works)
· I use it on my neck like it’s my last serum on earth

🍃 final thoughts after 30 days

This serum isn’t about instant wow. It’s the slow-burn, plot-twist romance of skincare. The kind that creeps up on you, and then suddenly you’re like wait... why does my skin feel amazing? why is my makeup sitting better? why am I not breaking out from dehydration?

It’s not trying to be a miracle. It’s just consistent. Smart. Reliable. And in a sea of flashy serums with 13-step names and neon packaging, this quiet little blue bottle has officially earned its spot on my top shelf 💧💖
