Very Moisturizing
This serum really makes your skin glow. I have to say I am knew to Korean skincare but from this product alone I am hooked. I moisturizes my skin and gives my skin that glass look. I have very sensitive skin and this works great and doesn't cause any issues with daily use. The smell is natural and doesn't seem to have any added fragrance.

somewhat glowy journey
this Glowing Skin Cactus Radiance serum is like, okay. it's not super easy to clean, kinda messy. the versatility is there with cactus extract, amino acids, and natural ingredients, but it's not a miracle worker. it's not the most easy to use; you gotta be patient. the vegan-certified cactus extract is cool, but the spellcheck probably hates it. with 17 types of amino acids and plant-based squalene, it's okay. a 3.5-star journey for somewhat glowy results – not the best in clean vibes, versatility, and ease of use.

An excellent moisturizer for my face
Review for Lovew Glowing Skin Cactus Radiance SerumI used this serum for the first time tonight after showering. My face has sensitivity to some products but I haven’t yet figured out what ingredient is the culprit. I am happy to say that this product did not cause any stinging. It is fairly thick and has a luscious feel to it. When first applied my skin had an oily feeling and and appearance. The serum did absorb into my skin after a few minutes. I am 72 years old and I did like how this made the skin under my eyes look more moisturized. I don’t ever apply anything too close to my eyes or eyelids because almost everything I have ever tried causes my eyes to burn so I didn’t apply this very close to my eyes but it was close enough to notice a benefit in the under eye area.In one of my photos I show the ingredients listed on the box and it does have a fragrance listed but I cannot detect any smell. So whatever fragrance it has is so light I can’t smell it. The serum has a nice transparent light green color in the bottle but it didn’t turn my skin green and was just clear when I used the glass squeeze bulb eye dropper to squeeze some into my palm.I have given up all makeup except for lipstick because I have not found any foundation that doesn’t either just seem to quickly slip right off my face or else make my wrinkles actually look worse so my thinking is that this is the product I will wear when I am going out-sort of in place of makeup because I thought my skin just looked better with it on than without it because of how well it moisturized my face. So far I like this cactus serum and I did find several articles online regarding the benefits of cactus in skin products so hopefully this will indeed be a beneficial skin care product.

Would be a great serum with plenty of skin-loving ingredients, but the fragrance is too much for me
I have some oil and water ritual products, and I love how they absorb into my skin and always leave my skin feeling super soft, smooth, and hydrated. Thus, I was eager to try this.The first thing I noticed about this serum is that it definitely has a smell that made me think floral and cucumber notes. I applied it directly to my face, and it's a bit oily at first, but it absorbs pretty quickly. On a second try, I especially liked it even better when I mixed it with a little hydrosol first. If you try this and find it a little heavy, try mixing it with a tiny bit of hydrosol or your favorite watery toner.Some positives about this serum are that it absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave me sticky, and it's very moisturizing. It has several well-regarded botanicals such as the key ingredient, prickly pear, an anti-inflammatory with a lot of nutrients, and it also has peptides that are known for their skin repair and collagen stimulating properties. The gorgeous coloring also comes from the plant extracts.The negative, and deal breaker for me personally, but probably is fine for most, is the fragrance (the fragrance is not from the prickly pear, which is fairly neutral in scent). I usually can handle most botanical scents that fade quickly and small amounts of linalool, so the troublesome ingredient is likely part of whatever ingredient(s) are included in fragrance. It lingers way too long (I can smell it hours after applying), and it makes me sneeze a little more. I have a pretty keen sense of smell, and more smells irritate my eyes/sinuses than most, so what bothers me rarely bothers others. However, if you're sensitive like me, this is probably a product to avoid. It's really too bad because without the fragrance, this would have been an enjoyable serum for me since I liked the texture and how quickly it absorbed on my combo skin.There are several things to note about the ingredients (which I list below from the sticker on the box).•According to the Ameng Cosmetics site (the company who makes this) and the images/info here on Amazon, this serum contains aloe vera extract. This was apparently left off the English translation ingredients list. Another reviewer posted a legible photo of the ingredients list, and it's missing from their box, too.•Abigod fruit, which is mentioned in the product info images, must be a poor translation since it doesn't seem to exist. I wonder if they mean ivy gourd fruit since it has Coccinia indica listed in the ingredients, and they don't discuss that elsewhere, but the picture in the informational section doesn't really match most images for ivy gourd.•There is a plant species called Melia azedarach (chinaberry) and one called Azadirachta indica (neem), but they list an ingredient called Melia azadirachta. This is an extremely common mixup; even one reputable US cosmetic ingredients dictionary calls neem Melia azadirachta which is a blend of the actual genus/species of the two plants. I think it's more probable they meant neem since that's used more frequently in cosmetics.Ingredients as listed on the English translation sticker along with the EWG rating for each ingredient: Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract (EWG 1), PEG-8 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (EWG 3), Polyglyceryl-6 Isostearate (EWG 1), Methylpropanediol (EWG 1), Isononyl Isononanoate (EWG 1), Squalane (EWG 1), 1,2-Hexanediol (EWG 1), Sodium Chloride (EWG 1), Water, Butylene Glycol (EWG 1), Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract (EWG 1), Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract (EWG 1), Coccinia Indica (Ivy Gourd) Fruit Extract (EWG 1), Glycerin (EWG 2), Glycine (EWG 1), Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract (EWG 1), Serine (EWG 1), Glutamic Acid (EWG 1), Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate (EWG 1), Aspartic Acid (EWG 1), Leucine (EWG 1), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (EWG 1), Alanine (EWG 1), Lysine (EWG 1), Arginine (EWG 1), Tyrosine (EWG 1), Phenylalanine (EWG 1), Threonine (EWG 1), Proline (EWG 1), Valine (EWG 1), Ocimum Sanctum (Holy Basil) Leaf Extract (EWG 1), Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (EWG 1), Corallina Officinalis (Coral Weed) Extract, Isoleucine (EWG 1), Caprylyl Glycol (EWG 1), Histidine (EWG 1), Methionine (EWG 1), Cysteine (EWG 1), Copper Tripeptide-1 (EWG 1), Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (EWG 1), Tripeptide-1 (EWG 1), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (EWG 1), Hexapeptide-9, Hexapeptide-11, Fragrance (EWG 8*), Linalool (EWG 3)*Fragrance gets a low rating from EWG since ingredients aren't disclosed; they could be innocent or bad, but who knows.

A little too glow-y for me
I wanted to like this, but this is much more oily than I thought it was going to be and broke me out. If you have drier skin this may be a good fit for you, but my combination skin was unhappy with this.

Natural Ingredients
The Lovew Glowing Skin Cactus Radiance Korean Premium Serum is made of natural ingredients which made me want to test it out. I wasn't sure I would like it, but I am impressed with it. It gets absorbed quickly after applying it to my clean skin and it makes my skin feel soft after using it for a few days. I am not sure how it helps my wrinkles and fine lines, but after using for a while I should be able to tell the difference.

This feels like an oil
This doesn't really have a smell and it feels very moisturizing, but it feels more like an oil than a serum. After using it for several days I've started to break out a little. When using it at night, it's still on my skin by morning and I can feel it washing off in the shower. Although that means it's keeping my skin moisturized, I also think it's causing me to break out.If you have dry skin this will probably be great for you, but if you have oily skin or skin that's prone to breakouts I probably would only use it sparingly if at all.
