Inspired by popular Korean skincare routines, I adopted a multi-step skincare regimen awhile ago. Since it involves layering a number of products, It can be time intensive but I think it's worth it for the results. One crucial step both in the morning and evening for me is a serum. Serums are meant to be applied after cleaning and toning the face and they typically contain key ingredients to address specific skin concerns like dark spots, wrinkles, etc. I switch between a few depending on the season and what my skin happens to needs Radha Beauty Clearing Serum claims to reverse the signs of aging while improving blemished skin and hyper pigmentation.

My Impressions: I was keen on trying this serum since it is natural and organic with a potent mix of anti-aging ingredients. The serum itself is has a watery consistency which takes a little getting used to as it would run off my hand when I didn't apply quickly enough it to my face. It has an herbal smell which I assumed was from the essential oils. The scent is strong but I didn't really mind it since it's not artificial. One pump of product is enough to cover the face and it absorbs with a matte finish. My skin is sensitive and the first time I used this, I experienced a bit of a tingling sensation. It didn't end up being an issue since it went away and didn't occur with subsequent uses. I found that while this while the skin clearing and smoothing effects of this serum were visible over a period of seven days, it was a little drying on my skin and left me with some peeling and dry patches. I've been balancing this by using richer moisturizers over it. I think this may be less of an issue during the summer months but for now my skin still seems to crave something more nourishing. I'm thinking I will go back to it when my skin is less dry and for now have my husband give it a try since he doesn't have dry skin issues like I do.
