Hey loves, just wanted to share a little something I've tested recently!

I've seen so many people talking about these two brightening serums—YOU and Skintific—so I got curious and gave both a try.

A little about my skin: I'm 29, have combination skin (a bit oily and normal mix), and I don't have sensitivity issues.

Both of these serums have a super light and watery feel. They sink into the skin quickly, don't leave a sticky finish, and are fragrance-free. YOU's has a white color, while Skintific's is transparent. They honestly feel very similar—even the moisture level is about the same.

Packaging-wise, I prefer Skintific because of the vacuum pump—it's more convenient and hygienic. But let's talk results...

I used them consistently and I didn't really notice any change. No brighter skin, no glow, no tone improvement. Even when I added a sheet mask after, hoping it would help the serum absorb better—still nothing. The results were just too underwhelming for me.

They're so alike that I wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same factory. I ended up switching back to Garnier's serum, which gives better results in terms of brightness and skin clarity—even if it's not super hyped.

If you're looking to add something effective to your routine, I'd say go for Garnier instead.

✨Hope this helps you decide before spending! Always pick what works best for your skin, not just what's trending.
