Secret KeyStarting Treatment Rose Ampoule 50ml (16.9 fl.oz.) - Galactomyces Nourishment Intensive Moisturizing Ampoule, Healthy and Radiant Skin, for Dull and Tired Skin

I like it! really made skin radiant

I can't say it's whitening the skin per se, but I've noticed how it has helped smooth hand wrinkles. I read that galactomyces was helpful for makers of rice wine, and that's where it's been noticeable.

Works just as well as skII

I just started the product yesterday. The sheerness is perfect and the lines on my eyes seem to be disappear ing.

Feels nice

Good product

This product was getting some pretty good buzz on a skin care forum I'm on, so I ordered this and the rose eye treatment cream to try out. I'm really happy with both products, but this one is really impressive. It's really watery so to be perfectly honest I really didn't expect much out of it and the first time I used it, I probably applied it too liberally because it did flake a little. I knew this was my fault, though, and on the second attempt I used a normal amount (5 drops) and didn't have any flaking issues at all. It absorbs really nicely and the scent - incredible. I though this was the least rosy of the two products, but I also did use a rose moisturizer that is VERY rose scented afterwards, so maybe it just was less so by comparison. My skin didn't have any negative reactions at all and I'm continuing to see improved skin while using this product, so I'm very happy to have it in my rotation of serums for now and will continue to use it regularly.The main difference in this product that I think makes it exceptional is the way my skin felt THE NEXT DAY. I am blown away at how much impact this serum appears to have on the way my skin behaves on the next day after wearing. I use only water to cleanse and the entire next day after using the serum at night, my face feels tighter (but not in an uncomfortable way), yet also smoother and more nourished. I only have one other serum that manages to accomplish this and it's a far more expensive product that I normally squirrel away and use only when a special occasion is coming up. But with the Secret Key serum, I can use it more regularly since it's far more affordable and still get some really remarkable, lasting, visible results.This is a lovely serum and I definitely recommend it as it's effective, affordable, and as a bonus it also looks very chic and expensive on the counter!

I would normally avoid anything fragranced, naturally, or added, but I've developed an affinity for rose-scented things recently and thought I would give this a try. The SECRET KEY Starting Treatment Rose Ampoule comes in a 1.69 fl oz (not a 16.9 fl oz as the posting stated at the time of purchase). A simple typo. I knew what I was getting. You get a 1.69oz frosted glass standard dropper bottle. The serum inside is clear with a slippery, water-gel texture. It smells amazing. The rose (which comes from both the rose flower water and some added fragrance) has a whisper of scent and makes the experience of using this product a pleasure.Ampoules or serums are usually applied after you've cleansed and toned the skin and before your lotions, moisturizers, SPF, or oils. In case you are curious in what order this would be used in your skincare regime.The main ingredient in this formula is Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate. Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is a nutrient-dense yeast, a byproduct of fermented sake. In cosmetics/skincare, it is used for moisturizing and naturally loaded with antioxidants. It is beneficial for maintaining skin barrier health, protecting skin from environmental stress. Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is commonly found in many Korean skincare products. It is an inexpensive and effective ingredient. Also, Galactomyces are suitable for virtually all skin types; acne-prone, sensitive, etc. Can be used in both am and pm skincare routines.I haven't experienced any breakouts, product-reactive rosacea, rashes, or other signs of sensitivity while using this serum. For reference, I have mature, acne-prone, fair, sensitive, combination skin.I've included images of the packaging, the bottle, the ingredients (for anyone interested), and the serum itself.Personally, I like this ampoule. The packaging is simple and lovely. The scent is pleasant. The application of the serum is easy; doesn't leave my face feeling tacking or sticky; light-weight, gentle. Hydrating. Non-irritating. And I think they priced it right (~$20 at the time of purchase). More than reasonable given how nice the product is.
