Brightening serum for oily winter skin: HEEDA Glutathione Serum

Why I used it on oily skin in winter

In winter, my skin felt dry on the surface but oily underneath, and I noticed both inner dryness and dullness after cleansing. I worry that oily products may cause breakouts, so I chose this serum while looking for something lightweight.

Texture and finish

When dispensed onto the back of my hand, it had a thin, lightweight water-glow texture. It spread over my skin with a moisturizing fit and absorbed quickly without leaving the surface overly shiny. It felt minimally sticky, heavy, or stuffy.

How I used it

After cleansing, I used 1–2 pumps over my entire face after toner. Even when I layered it, it did not pill, and it felt light enough to use before makeup in the morning. At night, my skin felt comfortable when I used it before cream.

How did my skin tone and dark spots look after two weeks?

After two weeks, my skin looked less dull and slightly clearer when I looked in the mirror after cleansing. Rather than my skin becoming white, it seemed more transparent because my overall skin condition looked more balanced.

The faint hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and chin also looked less noticeable than before. It did not disappear completely in a short time, but I used less concealer when doing my makeup, and my bare skin tone felt a little more even.

What suited oily skin in winter

Instead of an oily shine, I liked the moisturized look that seemed to softly come from within my skin. I reached for it on days when my skin looked rough in winter or foundation separation concerned me, but I wanted to avoid heavy moisture.
