[REVIEW] JUMISO All day Brightening & Balancing Facial Serum

Hi! How are you guys doing?

Today I'm back with another review.

So, last month I received this All day Vitamin Brightening & Balancing Serum* from Jumiso when they were hosting for Indonesian reviewers. The package came along with their First-skin Brightening Sheet mask.

I’ve been using this serum for a month now. And I can tell you that there is an improvement on my skin.

ABOUT THE BRAND

JU : Give / MISO : Smile

JUMISO means ‘Makes you smile’ in Korean.

No wonder the brand logo is similar to the smile emoji ☺☺

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

•  Non-water-based
• Brightening booster
• Light weight

“JUMISO vitamin serum is a non-water-based and high-concentration serum for brightening. For all skin types, keep your skin radiant with the daily vitamin serum. It helps you keep bright skin tone and have healthy and balanced skin. It contains various vitamin complexes such as A, B, D, E, and K as well as vitamin C and many ingredients that nourish skin, helping skin brightening, soothing, and elasticity care.”

So, this serum contains of Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit extract (86.14%) as its first ingredient instead of water/aqua. It’s also known as Sea-buckthorn or Vitamin Tree, so I guess the ‘vitamin’ word refers to this plant extract. It also contains of Ascorbic Acid as other brightening agent beside of Sea-buckthorn that’s rich of Vitamin C and Niacinamide 20,000ppm.

Texture, Color, Scent

It’s clear, it’s quite thick, it smells fresh and a bit citrus-y.

MY THOUGHTS

I said that this serum is quite thick, it’s not runny at all. It feels a little bit tacky when applied but still comfortable. It also absorbs quickly and sinks into the skin very well. My skin always feels well-hydrated everytime I use this.

It’s been a month I use this religiously every morning. I expect this to be an anti-oxidant product for morning time since it contains of Vitamin C.

Now, what I feel about this product is this helps my skin controls sebum production. I believe that is because of the Niacinamide. My oily skin tends to be normal even in 10 hours after morning skincare routine.

The other good thing I feel from this serum is the glow. Yes, you read it right. I don’t know why but I feel like my skin is more radiant and brighter than before, it glows from within since the first day I use this serum. I’m still amazed by the glowing effect from the serum whenever I look at myself in the mirror ^^

There is another one. This is the most important. I did expect the serum to work well on brightening PIHs on my chin. So I did take pictures every week since the first day. Here they are.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? It works wonder in only a month. Maybe the progress is quite slow but it’s fine. Small progress is still  progress, right?

I’ll continue using this serum ‘till the last drop of it. Oh, I forgot. Since the texture is a bit thick, I usually need only 2-3 drops for the whole face and neck. Now that it’s been a month, it’s still 2/3 part left.

Now, are you intrigued to try this serum? I hope this product would work well on you too. Your milleage may vary.

For Indonesians, you can purchase this on Sociolla, Watson and StyleKorean.
