Review: Shangpree AC Balancing Serum




I am trying to catch up because these summer vacation are turning into nightmare for my blogging schedule. My notebook is full with the reviews to be post and to be written but seriously I am trying to find the time because in a day my home is fill with guests mostly so I can’t touch my laptop. Right now it’s 3:12 Am in the morning while I am writing this review and figuring out the next post to be posted.
You guys remember that I got few products from Shangpree quite time ago and I have been using them. I have already reviewed the Shangpree Luminous Cover Cushion Compact which have become my favorite after first few uses and still is in my favorite cushions list. I also have received two other product which are skincare related from which one is their AC Balancing serum and I personally love serums because they for surely have changed my skin. As I have few serums open already I am trying to use them up before opening this one but I have been testing this for a quite long time now to write a detailed review about it.

MY THOUGHTS


Starting with the packaging it has pretty simple packaging, it came in super sturdy white plastic bottle and a glass dropper. There is nothing fancy about the serum packaging and you get the 30ml of the product.

The first thing I notice when open the bottle is the scent it has a nice fresh herbal scent to it which fades away after few seconds of applying.it is gel like in consistency but when it comes to intact with the skin it becomes watery. The serum is transparent in color just like gel and absorbs pretty quickly. The Shangpree AC balancing serum feels a little bit tacky when applying but absorbs quickly into the skin.
It feels like a gel on skin and not very light weight but not heavy as well. It feels really refreshing and soothing on the application.
It gives the matte finish not dewy at all and seems to control oil to some extent and does sooth the skin and hydrate the skin a little bit as well. I haven’t notice when it comes to controlling from acne but it does sooth my skin and is mild enough to use after Derma rolling. i have seen that it helps in healing my acne and recovering my skin .

Speaking of a price point it is pretty expensive well the most expensive serum i have ever own is this one, it cost around 65-75 dollars depending on where you are buying from.

Overall this serum does not irritate my skin nor does I get any acne but it does not control acne as well. It does control oil for few hours and does not make your skin a greasy mess. It feels over very refreshing and soothing and helps to cure my acne.



SWATCHES

It is a nice serum for the people with the oily skin who needs serum which has natural ingredients and helps in soothing the skin and controlling the oil.

I dont thick it is available widely internationally nor does i have seen it on any korean site but you can find it on ebay . you can get yours Here

RATE: 7/10
