Hi loves! I recently finished a few of my favorite serums and thought it was the perfect time to share my honest thoughts.
Some of these really wowed me, while others were good but not mind-blowing. Here's my breakdown after fully using each bottle.

1. Abib Heartleaf TECA Capsule Serum – 9/10

This serum is a definite repurchase for me! It's soothing, lightweight, and calms any redness or irritation instantly. I noticed my skin texture became smoother over time, and it layers beautifully under creams or makeup. The calming effect and hydration make it a staple in my routine.

2. Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA4% Serum – 7/10

This one did a solid job for brightening and controlling minor blemishes, but I didn't see dramatic results fast. It's a decent serum for improving overall skin tone and fading small dark spots, but it might not be strong enough if you're looking for faster, noticeable changes. Still, it's gentle and works for sensitive skin.

3. Anua Azelaic Acid 10% + Hyaluronic Acid Serum – 8/10

I really liked this one! It helped reduce redness and calm breakouts while adding hydration thanks to the hyaluronic acid. It's not a miracle worker overnight, but with consistent use, it noticeably evens out skin tone and improves clarity. Definitely worth trying if you deal with irritation or acne-prone skin.

4. MIMUMIMU Niacindy Dark Spot Ampoule – 7/10

This ampoule was okay. It helped with dark spots slightly, but the results were subtle and took a long time to appear. It's gentle and hydrating, making it a good option for sensitive skin, but if you're looking for rapid dark spot fading, this might not be your top pick.
Overall, some serums are total game-changers while others are "nice-to-have." The key is finding what works best for your skin type and concerns—sometimes it's subtle improvements, and other times it's that instant wow moment!
