Very happy!
I was sceptical at first as I often find serums make my face more oily and I already struggle with oily patches but this one was great! My face felt less oily than usual but also so refreshed and smooth- even after one application. Very happy, this has joined my regular routine.

Great!
This product does exactly what it claims, it has improved my skin barrier and I feel as though it has helped lock the moisture in my skin. My only negative is it does feel slightly tacky on the skin initially but I would consider purchasing again.

Favourite serum
This serum leaves my skin feeling healthier than it's ever been before. It does a great job of building my skin's barrier. I have sensitive skin and am prone to rosacea so tend to use it just in the evening and a lightweight hydrating serum in the morning. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle as I keep having to purchase!

Exselent serum!
This is a great serum! But in the beginning I had a very bad reaction that I thought was the worst serum ever. I applied the serum immediately after cleansing and the skin would be hydrated and without reaction, then I would apply the other products that I had been using for a long time and the itching would start In the morning the skin is dry, worse than ever. I wanted to stop using the serum. But I remembered that the reaction did not start immediately. Overall, I found that the reaction started after Purito Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence. After removing the essence, my skin feels super hydrated and calm. So if you have a reaction to this serum, don't give it up right away. Maybe it's a reaction with another product you're already using. Because this serum should soothe and hydrate your skin, not to do opposite.
