The good
Softens and smooths skin texture
Many reviewers found that the serum significantly improved the smoothness and softness of their skin, making it feel more refined. This is attributed to the concentrated blend of fermented ingredients.
"LOVE HER the only serum i use now, leaves my skin soft and firm. non irritating, no smell, watery texture. before i used the medicube pdrn serum and the realbarrier hyaluronic acid serum but this can replace both (and no weird smell like the medicube). also great price! - vinnym1 on Skinsort"
Boosts skin radiance and glow
A common positive remark is the serum's ability to impart a healthy, radiant glow to the complexion. Reviewers noted their skin appeared brighter and more luminous.
Provides excellent hydration
The serum is frequently lauded for its hydrating properties, leaving skin feeling moisturized and plump without being heavy. Its essence-like texture contributes to this effect.
"I haven’t been using this for the longest time yet (probably about 2 weeks?) but I have been loving it so far. I have seen some improved skin texture, and though I was a little nervous about all of the fermented ingredients, it has not irritated my skin at all. I have a feeling this will become a mainstay in my routine :) - Rheya Shano on Skinsort"
Lightweight and fast-absorbing
Users appreciate the serum's watery texture which allows for quick absorption into the skin, leaving no sticky residue. This makes it suitable for layering with other products.

"Enriched with the fermentation synergy effect of Galactomyces-Bifida to moisturize and enhance the skin elasticity. Helps brighten dull skin and restores the skin elasticity. Helps reduce appearances of fine lines and wrinkles. - YesStyle"

Potential for initial irritation or itching
A few reviewers, particularly those with sensitive skin, reported experiencing slight itching or minor irritation upon initial use, indicating that the fermented ingredients might not suit everyone.
