"This is one that I absolutely love, this is from April Skin, they're a Korean brand, and this is the Carotene Clarifying Serum. I love this because it's made for acne prone skin like mine that tends to be more oily and breakout prone, and this not only has beta carotene but it also has niacinamide. And because it's a K Beauty formula it's really gentle. There are some niacinamide formulas that if they're too potent can actually irritate some people's skin, this one does not do that."
