Thanks for the rec!

I just bought this and love it, thanks!

OP with an early update:

I ended up purchasing two types of glow serums.

This one, recommended by a PP here: https://www.paiskincare.us/products/the-impossible-glow-bronzing-drops

And this one, that I think I found on Reddit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DLFCB69?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I got the Pai one in the rose gold. I think I like it? It definitely makes my skin look more even. But weirdly I think it washes me out a little? I feel like I need another makeup to add some color back into my skin - when usually my issue is too much pink.

I'm going to keep trying it because I am not sure I'm "reading" it right - I might just need to get used to what I look like in light makeup.

It did not irritate my skin, which is a HUGE thing for me.

The Beauty of Joseon serum has no pigment. I do think it makes my skin look a little more glowy. That might be my mind playing tricks on me. Anyway, it also hasn't irritated my skin.

I used the two serums on different days. I'll keep experimenting with them to see if I do end up liking them in my daily routine.

Does anyone here use them? Is there one you especially like? What does it actually do for you?

I'm 50, have sensitive skin, am BRAND new to wearing any makeup - mascara and tinted lip balm is about as far as I've gotten - but I do like skincare. I use the Skinceuticals CE thingie religiously and it has made a huge different for me, for example. Willing to give just about anything a try, because why not!

Is this the one you use?

Yes! I'm sorry that it will bankrupt you but I hope you will enjoy your glowing skin

Heres a more cost effective dup- good ratings.

I like this. It's pretty affordable and gives a nice subtle glow when applied before or mixed with a tinted sunscreen.

This is OP - and I just ordered that now, too. Thank you for the rec!

How do you apply it - with your fingers, or with a sponge?

OP, have you tried this? Do you like it?

It hasn't arrived yet - I will report back once I've tried it!
