This product is designed to provide skin with moisture, firmness, radiance, and clarity, and utilizes IPSA's proprietary "ACT5 Technology." Key ingredients include royal jelly extract, plant-derived extracts, and vitamin C derivatives, delivering deep hydration to the stratum corneum. The water-based texture feels like a thick, water-soluble serum. It blends easily into the skin and is non-greasy. What I liked about it: It's refreshing yet moisturizing—the soft, light, and viscous texture absorbs smoothly into the skin, providing a comfortable, non-greasy feel. It also boosts firmness, radiance, and clarity—the moisturizing ingredients and vitamin C derivatives provide moisture and elasticity, bringing the appearance of healthy, vibrant skin. When used daily, it brightens skin tone and refines its texture. Easy to incorporate into your daily skincare routine - All you need to do is pump it twice after washing your face in the morning and evening, after applying lotion, so there are no complicated steps and it's simple and easy to continue. Recommended for: People who want moisturizing, but not too heavy skin People who want firm, clear, and healthy glow in their skin People looking for skincare that is easy to incorporate into their daily skincare routine and easy to continue I felt that using IPSA Serum Active brought me closer to the state where my skin was "moisturized and glowing from the morning." It's a serum that you'll want to rely on especially in dry seasons or when your skin is tired! If you're interested, I recommend trying out the mini size or sample first.
I'm on my third bottle and am using it again, varying the way I use it depending on the condition of my skin at the time, such as using it first after washing my face or as a serum after applying lotion. It doesn't interfere with my makeup, and while I haven't noticed any major changes since starting to use it, I do feel that my skin has become fresher. Those who are concerned about dryness may find it lacking, but I'm not a fan of heavy textures, so I think it's better to keep using it than to buy it and then shelve it because the texture doesn't suit me.
I participated in an online trial session and received a sample! The skin of people who exercise is certainly firm, healthy, and beautiful, so I thought it was an interesting concept for a product that aims to achieve that kind of skin. I recently started going to personal training, so I use this in the mornings on days when I exercise. The texture is similar to COSDECO's liposome serum; it's thick but absorbs easily and isn't sticky, making it a serum that can be used without any problems before applying makeup in the morning. It feels like the next skincare product is absorbed smoothly. However, the serum itself doesn't have much moisturizing effect. I received a generous sample, so I used it for a while, but I didn't notice any noticeable changes in my skin's firmness or pores... I wonder if I'll see results if I continue to use it?
I used the mini bottle that came with the kit. My skincare routine consists of a cleansing lotion, lotion, this, Metabolizer, and cream, in that order. I have dry skin and love moisturizing, but given my rough skin, I thought this would be great for times when I want to moisturize with water rather than oil. It doesn't irritate, has no scent, and the moisture really seems to be absorbed deep into my skin. The bottle has a fresh look, so I didn't try the sample at first, thinking it might be aimed at younger people, but after using it once, I wanted to incorporate it into my daily skincare routine.
