As someone with Type 1 rosacea, I've tried countless serums that either aggravated my redness or left my skin feeling sticky. The Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum is a game-changer - it's like a soothing hug for my angry cheeks while giving me that coveted K-beauty glow.

I first discovered this in a mini set (their trial sizes are genius!) and immediately repurchased the full bottle. The rice water base makes my skin feel plump and hydrated all day, while the alpha-arbutin has visibly lightened some post-acne marks around my jawline. What surprised me most was how it calms flushing episodes - I'll massage one pump onto damp skin when I feel that telltale warmth creeping up.

The texture is Goldilocks-perfect - not too watery like some vitamin C serums, but not thick enough to pill under sunscreen. It layers beautifully with my CosRx snail mucin (my other HG) without that tacky feeling some hydrating products leave. After 3 months of consistent AM/PM use, even my esthetician commented on how much more even my complexion looks.

For fellow sensitive skin warriors: no fragrance, no stinging, just visible results. My only critique? The glass bottle looks beautiful but I wish the dropper picked up product more efficiently when it gets low. Already planning to stock up during Black Friday!
