Biome Radiating Intensified Essence with 5 Probiotics Complex, Mugwort & Centella Asiatica - Soothing, Moisturizing, Hydrating Facial Serum for Glass Skin - Korean Skincare (1.69 fl. oz.)

Oily, acne prone skin. I’ve gone through about 3 bottles of this serum. I ran out once and wasn’t going to repurchase, then I noticed my skin texture was getting ruddy and rough again. I had to stop and think what I had cut out of my routine, and realized it was this serum! Repurchased and my skin has been smooth and glowy since!

This really improved my skin texture and I felt so hydrated and saw a drastic change in the brightness and quality of my skin. Perfect! I went through an entire bottle and will have to repurchase.

Honestly, been using this for over a month and my skin is baby soft. I wish I would have done a before and after cuz damn this stuff works lol. I use it at night daily with my other face routine.

This AXIS-Y Biome Radiating Intense Essence probiotic skincare product states it is for combination, dry skin. When I opened it, I did smell a slight musky scent. Upon application, it does feel a bit sticky, tacky on the skin and your hands with a slight itchy/tingly feeling is how I can best describe it. This sensation didn't last long though. My face was left feeling matte like, almost dry but not to the point where it felt tight. The product states it has adenosine which is supposed to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. I have not used this long enough to stand by those claims. I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin since I did find it to be less moisturizing than I would like. You apply this after toner, morning and night, by gently tapping the product on your face, instead of rubbing it in.

Great on skin

Weird consistency very grainy

I love Korean skincare, so when I had the opportunity to try the Axis-Y brand, I was excited. For reference, I have combination, acne-prone skin with mild sensitivity. This essence is formulated with some real powerhouse ingredients, including a special blend of five pre and probiotics. One of the biggest worth mentioning is the presence of Bifida Ferment Lysate, which is a probiotic that strengthens the skin barrier and helps to reduce skin sensitivity. This should sound familiar if you use anything in Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair skincare line, given that this is one of the main ingredients in these products. All in all, it seems to be formulated with good, skin-loving ingredients (after running it through a skincare checker), and it has no artificial fragrance, parabens, or dyes. The box arrived with the safety seal intact, and it even had another seal on the actual bottle. I really appreciate these extra steps because it provides peace of mind regarding the integrity of the product. It comes in a dropper bottle, which is great as it allows you to easily control the amount to use. I’ve found that a little goes a long way, and the size of the bottle is generous (1.69 ounces) compared to other serums/essences as they’re usually only 1 ounce. This essence feels really lovely on the face and is silky smooth. The texture of this is on the thicker side. It’s tacky for a bit after putting it on; however, it does end up absorbing into the skin. I also haven’t experienced any irritation whatsoever. It has a very light, herbaceous scent, due to the natural ingredients in the formula (again no added fragrance). As a note, I only wear this at night, after cleansing and toning, so I can’t speak to how to it wears under makeup. Overall, I’m happy to say that I would definitely purchase this again! It really does leave my skin feeling hydrated and nourished. This is definitely the kind of product that does best with consistency and long-term use, so I look forward to seeing how my skin improves over time!

This essence is thick and will leave a slightly tacky/sticky feel to your skin, but at least for me with my aging drier skin, it absorbed after about 15-20 minutes, so I'm okay with that as other essences I've tried have the same effect. The box and bottle are sealed with sticky tape material that may show it hasn't been opened. It's a dropper dispenser. This is an essence so it's a step before serum - I use essence after my cleansing and toning and before serum and any other steps I use. I pat then press to my face and then let absorb for at least 20 minutes before I added my serum. This one is thicker than my other essence from another brand. I had no irritation to my rosacea-prone skin. No burning, itching, redness. I tolerated this well. I put this through an ingredients checker and most of the ingredients were great or good, with only the added fragrances as bad or worst. Overall, and especially for the price, it's a good product. I'd consider looking at other products in this brand.

I used this ampule for like a month, and it really help calming down my redness and inflammation of my acne. Really worth every penny

Cases tiny pimples in my face!
