Keys Soulcare Promise Serum, Helps Brighten, Hydrate & Balance Skin, Control Oil & Reduce Look of Pores with Niacinamide, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, 1 Fl Oz

I love the results with how my skin look & feel.

At first I was impressed that the product was dispensed through a suction dropper, wow! Then when I applied it, the product went into my skin, 2nd wow! No residue. Then I was impressed that it seemed to be working after one use, making my skin smoother and evening my skin tone. My skin feels so smooth .

Very light on skin, does not cause breakout in acne prone skin, skin feels nice and balanced with a beautiful glow!

This serum feels so luxurious and has a very light, non offensive scent. My skin feels so soft after using it for a month.

This has Tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract which is supposed to be even better at hydrating than hyaluronic acid. It also has niacinamide and a stable form of vitamin C to help brighten and improve skin tone.When I used this, it had a smell that reminded me of a swimming pool, but it quickly faded. This has no added fragrance ingredients, so it's an "ingredient" smell. It spread easily and left no residue, and after a couple of weeks of using, I experienced no irritation or issues. I also felt that it did a good job of temporarily adding hydration which automatically adds subtle improvement to skin appearance. The brightening effects take longer to evaluate, but the ingredients in this are known to be beneficial, so I expect some improvement with long term use in overall tone and brightening.The only thing keeping this from a solid 5 is that is has some ingredients that some might want to avoid out of an abundance of caution. PEGs have been considered fairly safe, but some recent research shows allergies might be more of a concern than previously expected, but the jury is still out. PEGs are also petroleum-derived, so others might be trying to reduce use of petroleum-based ingredients.Ingredients are not currently listed, so here they are: Water, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Erythritol, Zinc PCA, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Tocopheryl Acetate, PEG-32, PEG-180, Xanthan Gum, Coceth-7, PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Snow Mushroom

The Promise Serum delivers on its promises to brighten, hydrate, balance skin, control oil, and reduce the appearance of pores. As someone deeply invested in skincare and seeking effective yet gentle solutions, this serum has become part of my daily routine AM and PM!At the heart of this serum is niacinamide. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a skincare hero, offering brightening effects to even out skin tone, hydration to plump and nourish the skin, and oil-balancing properties to keep excess shine at bay. The Promise Serum harnesses the power of niacinamide to deliver visible results that speak for themselves.Unlike heavy serums that can feel greasy or sit on the skin's surface, this serum sinks in effortlessly, leaving behind a silky-smooth finish that feels comfortable and breathable. It's the perfect base for layering additional skincare products or makeup, making it a versatile addition to any skincare routine.I highly recommend pairing it with her Squalane serum and the moisturizer!

Been using this for a few weeks now and while I haven't noticed a drastic change to my skin I can at least say I haven't had any kind of allergic reaction.In terms of what I like about this serum let's just start with the fact that unlike other products I highly appreciate the fact the pump doesn't get clogged which would typically result in me struggling to get the product out, speaking of the serum its also colorless which is great for avoiding that ghosty overcast these products can leave on brown and black skin.Now on the price, YES this isn't cheap but at least you are getting a good amount of product inside each bottle at that price. In terms of the cons, really all I can say is that there is a bit of an odor when rubbing the product that thankfully quickly disappears.EDIT: Took out another star after discovering after finishing the product that a significant chunk of the bottle was hollow. There is no reason why there should be so much wasted piece inside the product unless it's a refillable container.
