I stopped using my morning moisturizer for 30 days. Just this serum and SPF.
My T-zone stopped looking like a crinkle-cut fry by noon. That never happens.
It’s $34 for 50ml. A milky serum that claims to replace your moisturizer if you want it to. I was skeptical — I’m oily-dehydrated and serums usually evaporate into nothing.
Double-layer texture
Top is oil, bottom is milk. Shake it into a cloudy emulsion that feels like a light lotion.
No sticky residue
Absorbs in about 12 seconds. My phone screen stayed clean.
One pump is enough
Two pumps felt like too much. Learned that the hard way — greased my own face.

They lean hard on “fermented potato” which sounds like a science experiment. But the real workhorses are simpler. It’s hydrating without being heavy — weirdly hard to find.
- Saccharide Isomerate: Locks water into skin for hours
- Niacinamide: Calms redness and tightens pores
- Ceramide NP: Patches up the moisture barrier
- Fermented Potato Extract: Sounds gross, but helps with glow
First pump — it’s runny, almost watery. Smells faintly like oat milk. Spreads like a thin lotion and disappears. I kept wanting to add more product out of habit.
Week two my jawline texture smoothed out. Week three I forgot to put it on one morning and my skin felt tight by 2pm. That’s when I knew it was doing something.
Less shine by midday. Fewer dry patches around my nose. Still needed eye cream — this won’t fix everything. Fine lines unchanged.
It’s not magic. But it’s the first serum that actually hydrated my skin without making me oily. I’ll keep buying it — just not for winter.
