As someone with skin that flares up at the slightest provocation (hello, stress breakouts and UV sensitivity!), this green tea serum has become my emergency SOS product. The first time I used it after a bad reaction to a new sunscreen, the cooling sensation made me audibly sigh—like dipping overheated skin into a pool of liquid silk.

What surprised me most was the texture—it's thinner than expected, almost like splashing your face with antioxidant-rich green tea (which, technically, you are). I pat it on right after cleansing when my cheeks are still damp, and within seconds it transforms my angry red patches into calm beige territory. Pro tip: Keep it in the fridge during summer for an extra soothing punch!

After three weeks of AM/PM use, even my partner noticed my 'angry tomato phase' (his words) has dramatically reduced. The dropper's curved tip is genius—no more wasted serum dripping down my wrist like other brands. Though fair warning: When you're down to the last 10%, you'll need to channel your inner alchemist and tilt the bottle like you're decoding ancient skincare runes.

Is it magic? No. But for $22, it's the closest thing to a 'reset button' for sensitive skin that I've found between dermatologist visits. Just don't expect miracles if your skin barrier is already healthy—this serum shines brightest when your complexion is throwing tantrums.
