SOME BY MI 

Galactomyces Pure Vitamin C Glow Serum

This review is very looooong overdue, good thing i found my notes about this product in my phone's notepad and kept photos during usage of this one.

Way back October 2020, I experienced maskne and that is my worst breakout. During that time, I skipped concealer and powder, even my moisturizer. I also took a break from doing makeup tutorials (ugh), basically, I just let my skin rest and breathe for some time.

Experiencing that, I searched for a product that will help clear my acne and hyperpigmentation and is suited for my sensitive skin. So, I opted for a Vitamin C serum. I already tried one and that is the Klairs Freshly Juiced Drop Vitamin C Serum, my holy grail product! But instead of purchasing that, i decided to try a different product and see how it goes with my skin.

Okaaay, let's start the review! 🖤

☁️ first impressions:

▪Has a tint of light champagne? Not sure if it already oxidized or that's just its original color.
▪Serum is runny but has gel - like consistency
▪Has a bit of tacky feeling, but fades quickly
▪Has citrusy scent that also fades quickly
▪Quickly absorbed by skin
▪Lightweight
▪No sting & itch effects

BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS

As you can see on the before photos, I have lots of active pimples and pimple marks. In a short time of using this serum, I can already see a difference on my skin.

For the first two weeks, i can say that it really brightened my skin and made it look healthy. It also reduced some of my pimples and pimple marks. But, I also saw some pimples emerged, concerned if I should continue using this serum.

AFTER  A MONTH

I continued to use this serum until I completed a month. As you can see on the results, my pimples flattened out a bit but my older acne marks are still there and new pimples just keep on coming then they'll be gone then another pimple appears again then gone again.. I felt that this serum is not effective for me anymore.

FINAL THOUGHTS

☁️ pros

✔ 650 Php on Shopee, quite affordable for its performance

✔ brightened my complexion

✔ healthy-looking skin despite of having pimples

✔ flattened out some of my pimples

the

☁️ cons

✖ didn't fade my older acne marks, as for the new pimple marks, some?

✖ pimples emerged/ appeared suddenly while using the serum

I won't repurchase this serum because I've had a love-hate relationship with this one. I love the brightening and healthy effect but there were times that pimples suddenly appeared back then. Maybe it's because my skin is sensitive and it's reacting badly with one/more of the ingredients in this serum.

Have you tried the Galactomyces Pure Vitamin C Glow Serum? I would love to know your experience 🖤
