Azelaic Acid 15+ Intense Calming Serum

This is a high-concentration serum with 15% azelaic acid + cica. Personally, this Anua serum wasn't that great for me. It feels a little sticky, and I like a smooth, non-sticky finish, so that was disappointing. You could call it moisturizing, but I apply a moisturizer afterward, so I'm not looking for hydration from azelaic acid.. What I expect from azelaic acid products is “dark spot prevention,” “acne prevention,” and “prevention of skin irritation (soothing).” Since it's highly concentrated, I expected it to be effective for those things, but the stickiness also felt a little itchy, so it didn't really suit me. It also contains cica ingredients, but I didn't notice anything in particular from them.. Honestly, I thought it would be fine without them. By the way, it didn't crystallize while I was using it. Medicube crystallizes pretty heavily, so it gets powdery. I actually like that powdery feel, so Medicube wins for me (maybe that's an unusual preference..).

White Jelly Aquarysta

I feel like Astalift White Jelly makes my skin look plumper! When I apply this right after washing my face, I feel like the toner I use afterward absorbs better too! Whenever I use Astalift, my skin behaves so much better.

Torriden

Dive-In Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum

It had a light, watery texture and absorbed right into my skin! It wasn't sticky but still left my skin properly hydrated, so it was easy to use in my morning skincare routine! It's an easy-to-use serum, but rather than expecting dramatic results, it felt more like something I'd want to use for daily hydration♪

It feels light and watery with no irritation, so it seems like anyone could use it. Good before makeup or in the summer. Mixing it with foundation was trendy for a while, and it's runny enough to use that way, so it might also be good for people who don't want anything sticky.

It has a fresh, lightweight texture that absorbs right into the skin and doesn't feel sticky◎ It's moisturizing without feeling heavy, and it makes dry skin feel plump and smooth, so it's really easy to use! I'll repurchase♡

MediCube

PDRN Pink Peptide Serum

I've been using this for about two years. I love how it makes my skin feel plump and keeps it from drying out as easily. I also tried the Light version from the same line, but this one worked better for me. They're supposed to be equally moisturizing, but I feel like this one not only gives a better finish, but also keeps my skin feeling more moisturized as time passes. For some reason, my skin would sometimes feel a little off when I used the Light version, so now I stick with this one. I use it year-round, usually at night, and in the morning when I'm concerned about dryness. I recommend it if you like a plump feel and a moisturized finish.

Astalift

White Jelly Aquarysta

Recommended when you're concerned about dullness or acne. After using it consistently, I feel like I've been getting fewer little bumps. When I stopped using it for a while, my skin started looking dull, so now I keep using it. It feels like it absorbs well into my skin, and while it's not that moisturizing on its own, using this together with toner leaves my skin more moisturized than usual. It's slightly orange in color, so I use it at night rather than in the morning. It doesn't noticeably tint my skin, but when I used a sheet mask afterward, some of the color transferred onto the sheet, so I just kind of avoid using it in the morning.

Wellage

Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule

I bought this in Korea because it was going viral on X💰 It has a lightweight texture that absorbs well into the skin, and I really like how it doesn't feel sticky. The large size means I can use plenty without worrying, and I think the great value for money is a major plus! It didn't cause any irritation, and my skin stayed in good condition while I was using it👍🏻 But for someone with extremely dry skin like me, this alone didn't feel quite moisturizing enough😭 It absorbs quickly and leaves the surface feeling refreshed, so it's just right for summer or before applying makeup in the morning since it isn't sticky, but during the dry season, I'd want a little more moisture. I recommend it for lightweight hydration or as a booster serum!

えみり Ages 25-34 · Normal · Fair tone

This is a favorite that I keep repurchasing. It's watery and lightweight, but it sinks right in and feels like it really hydrates from within, and dryness and roughness don't bother me anymore!! It's not sticky, so my makeup doesn't crease even when I use it before doing my makeup in the morning, and I feel like my skin's moisture level has gone up a lot, so I highly recommend it for anyone with dehydrated skin!!✨️ It's fragrance-free and doesn't sting, so I can use it without worrying even when my skin is sensitive! It's especially useful for moisturizing and adding glow during seasons when dryness is a concern♡ I'm on my second bottle now, but I love it so much that I still have two more stocked up👍🏻

Decorte

Liposome Advanced Repair Serum

I've been using it for about two years. Honestly, while I'm using it, I sometimes think, maybe I don't even need it? But the moment I stop using it, something feels off after I finish my skincare routine ( ◜ω◝ ) Since it's a booster, I use it first, and personally, I think it's truly one of a kind in every way—from helping the rest of my skincare absorb and feeling lightweight yet moisturizing, to how quickly it sinks in and how it preps my skin. I never knew having stable skin during the changing seasons could be this stress-free ( ߹꒳߹ ) I buy it as part of the Purple Ribbon Kit that comes out in winter.

Sofina

iP Base Care Serum

This is an unusual type of serum that comes out as a foam, and it’s my favorite booster serum that I’ve repurchased over and over. It feels so nice how it melts right into my skin and absorbs when I apply it, and I just love how it feels going on—plump and smooth! I can really tell how good it is when I use it at times when my skin feels rough and my skincare hasn’t been absorbing well lately. I especially want people who feel like their skin isn’t soaking up toner as easily anymore, or who wonder, “Do booster serums even do anything?” to give it a try.

The texture is lightweight, but it leaves a slightly tacky finish. It generally doesn't irritate my skin, but it can sometimes sting a little when my skin is feeling sensitive. It feels like it hydrates not only the surface of my skin but deep down too, so personally, I'd recommend it for your morning skincare routine. I love using it before applying makeup in the morning! I feel like it hydrates my skin and helps my makeup go on better.

Shiseido

I love how it absorbs quickly when applied to my skin and leaves it feeling moisturized and hydrated without being sticky. As I kept using it, my skin texture became more refined, and I felt like my skin was getting firmer and more radiant from within. I'm also happy that my skin is now less prone to irritation from dryness or seasonal changes! I stopped using it for a while to try other products, and my skin became more prone to irritation. Ever since then, I've made sure to use it every single day. Now I rely on it so much that I'm honestly a little scared to go a day without it.
