I don't really think this serum is for soothing because I feel a bit stingy when applying it. I checked the ingredient list on skincarisma and saw that there is one ingredient which may be bad for sensitive skin. The stingy feeling goes down after a few seconds but still, this product is not the best soothing product. However I did use it (so that I don't waste my money) and it still helped my skin healed after the break out. Will I buy it again...? probably not, but still love to try...
