For those who are new: my skin type is combination-dry and not at all sensitive. I get from visibly dry skin if I don't care for it in cold months, to slightly oily T-zone in warmer months. Right now it's something between the two states, but when I ordered these things, it was very dry. Spots are rare, but again if I don't care for it, I'll have a couple which tend to leave a mark and I know that at least mineral oil clogs my skin. I've had a lot of these products for a while now and I've mostly been testing them in pairs side by side, but on their own, so I didn't use my trusted Nuxe oil or other products because I wanted to see how they work and also it's easier to see which is clogging your pores. Link to the previous part.

SULWHASOO Capsulized Ginseng Fortifying SerumSulwhasoo is a brand that comes highly praised, especially their ginseng line, but it's a brand that makes you weep at the sight of their prices.

In terms of effects, my skin has been behaving much better than in the pas...
