[VILLAGE 11 FACTORY] MIRACLE YOUTH SERUM (50ml) Korean Skincare - Premium Serum with Retinol & Niacinamide - Intensive Anti-Aging Treatment - 81% Natural Ingredients - Vegan Formula

This serum has changed my skin care regime.In all honesty it's easy to neglect your skin and I picked up this as a chance to reignite some self care.And it feels lovely. A pipette full of serum spread on the skin before moisturising feels really nice. The serum is silky and easy to apply, and it absorbs easily, although this does mean that I use more than one pipette sometimes.But it is a joy to use and it has made me think about skin again.I am not going to say that it works (although I feel my skin is better), but it is a nice thing to use daily.

This is a very good introductory starter retinol or just retinol for people whose skin doesn't need anything heavy duty. First of all, the bottle is nice and sturdy and it comes with a nice pipette for application, I was momentarily... a bit taken aback by the colour of the liquid as it's quite cloudy but this seems to be "how it is", not an off batch. Oh well, onwards and upwards, I thought. I wouldn't say this is fragrance free personally, there's a subtle scent - which is actually very pleasant - but it doesn't linger longer. This is a fairly thin serum in my opinion and it absorbs nearly instantly but it's runny enough that I don't feel like my fingers are dragging on my skin when I rub it in. It's a dewy finish and does make my skin feel more soft and supple. This is a 50ml bottle, which is a bit more than the usual 30ml you get with similar serums particularly from Korea, so there's good value for money with this too. All in all, recommend for anyone curious about retinol and want something gentle that'll at least leave you with a nice glow!

This showed up on the counter one evening, and I noticed the usual clutter of bottles had been pushed aside to make room for it. That’s when I figured it must be doing something right.I asked how it was going, and my wife just said, “this one’s actually good,” which, knowing her, means a lot.As you can gather, it is my wife and her skin testing this product out whilst I get all the idea and knowledge about it from person that knows best out of the two of us when it comes to skincare.She likes that it’s light, no heavy or greasy feeling after applying it. It just sinks in and leaves her skin looking fresh, smooth, and more...awake, I guess. Not in a dramatic way, just noticeably healthier.There’s retinol in it, but it must be a lower amount because she didn’t mention any irritation or dryness, which is something she’s run into with stronger stuff in the past. Niacinamide helps even things out too, I don’t know all the science behind it, but you can see the glow. Her skin looks more even toned, and kind of lifted. Not fake or shiny, just healthy.Also, credit where it’s due...she’s been trying a lot of different skincare over the years, and the ones that come from South Korea always seem to do the job better than most. This one’s no exception.That’s about it. No nonsense, no reactions, just something that’s clearly working well. And from her reaction, this one’s a keeper.

My skin is mature, sensitive and reactive, and prone to hormonal spot outbreaks. It's hard to find anti-ageing products that are not harsh, can prevent spots and target fine lines and loss of elasticity. I think this serum therefore, is very good. It is ideal for my skin concerns. Although I've started out using it with caution, not daily yet, I haven't experienced any of the redness, dryness and sore skin I usually get with products containing retinol. I use it at night before a moisturiser, and use an SPF 50+ during the day.The serum is in a tinted plastic bottle with a glass dropper to give you tiny amounts as required. It's a pleasant serum to use in that it spreads easily and is fast to absorb. My skin has been feeling smooth, even textured and firmer since using it, though I appreciate to see a difference in the fine lines it will take time and repeated use.I like that this brand is vegan, cruelty free as these are important to me.

The media could not be loaded. I gave this serum to my mother to try, as she was curious about starting a proper anti-aging skincare routine. This was her first time using a product with retinol, so we were a bit cautious at first, expecting some of the common side effects like tingling, redness, or peeling—especially on more mature skin.She’s only been using the serum for a few days, just under a week, but so far the experience has been very positive. The serum is lightweight and smooth, absorbs nicely, and leaves her skin feeling soft and well-hydrated. Most importantly, there have been no side effects at all—no burning, no tightness, no irritation, which is often a concern with retinol-based products.She really liked the feel of the product on her skin and mentioned that it felt calming and refreshing. The niacinamide seems to help support the skin barrier, and it’s nice to know the formula includes 81% natural ingredients and is vegan-friendly, which made her more comfortable using it.It’s a pipette-style bottle, not a pump, and the design works well—easy to use and allows for precise application. A little goes a long way, and the 50ml size is very generous compared to many other serums.While it’s still early days to comment on any major changes, her skin already looks a little more radiant and feels smoother to the touch. It’s a great introduction to retinol—gentle, nourishing, and thoughtfully formulated. We’re looking forward to seeing the long-term benefits as she continues to use it.So far, a really good experience and well worth trying, especially if you’re looking for a beginner-friendly retinol serum.
