Zitsticka BFF Hydration Serum for Face - 1 Fl Oz Moisturizer for Acne Prone, Dry, Oily & Sensitive Skin - Dermatologist-Tested to Fight Blemishes, Tighten Pores, & Support Skin Barrier

I'm pleased with this serum that I received as an Amazon Vine purchase, although I don't think I would purchase it again. The moisturizing properties for me as an older woman are okay, I use it at night however during the day I use something else that has a high SPF factor in it. It's not greasy or oily, applies easily, & I certainly use a lot of it on my neck to help with wrinkling & to keep moisturized now with summer coming. It's ok, just not for my extra dry skin.

This BFF serum is almost like a really light, thin cream. It absorbs well and I find it pretty hydrating. I have combination skin that loves moisture and hydration, so I love this. I apply a medium heavy face cream on top of it. I use it morning and evening with no irritation.It has a lot of great ingredients and no fragrance, which is awesome! The color in the photo almost looks like a face tint, but it is a ivory color and it absorbs without adding any color to the skin. I appreciate that they provided the ingredients in the listing so I was able to tell quickly that this is something that could work for me.

My experience with the Zitsticka BFF Hydration Serum has been a mixed bag, leading to a three-star rating. Here's why:On the positive side, I appreciated the lightweight and fast-absorbing nature of this serum. Upon application, it instantly quenched my skin's thirst, leaving it feeling hydrated and refreshed without any greasy residue. The serum's formulation with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide seemed promising for addressing dehydration and improving skin texture.However, I found the performance of this serum to be somewhat inconsistent. While it provided an initial burst of hydration, I didn't notice any significant long-term improvements in my skin's hydration levels or overall appearance. Fine lines and dry patches remained largely unchanged, leaving me questioning the effectiveness of the product's claims.Additionally, I found the packaging to be less than ideal. The dropper dispenser sometimes dispensed too much product, leading to waste and making it difficult to control the amount of serum used. A more precise dispensing mechanism would enhance the user experience and prevent product wastage.Furthermore, I felt that the price point of this serum was a bit steep for the results it delivered. While it provided some hydration, I didn't feel that it offered enough added benefits to justify the higher cost compared to other hydrating serums on the market.In conclusion, while the Zitsticka BFF Hydration Serum offers some hydration benefits, its performance was not as impressive as expected. With inconsistent results, less-than-ideal packaging, and a relatively high price point, I remain undecided about its value in my skincare routine.

While the Zitsticka BFF Hydration Serum doesn't tackle breakouts well on its own, it layers well with my other acne treatment and keeps my skin feeling comfortable throughout the day.

I'm past the age of getting zitts, they have been replaced with well-earned wrinkles. Still, I really like this moisturizer as a base for applying make-up and blush in the morning; and under my nighttime moisturizer. It's light on the skin, and I could see and feel how it smooths out the wrinkles. Plus my liquid makeup goes on much smoother and looks brighter.The applicator is interesting (pic 1), but works well for placing the right amount of serum on my fingertips for application.Overall: a great addition to my morning and evening skin routine!

MY ⭐️RATINGS:4⭐️- I would recommend it as the one to get.This serum helps keep my skin’s sebum balanced for good hydration but not overhydration. With proper hydration, my skin is free of blackheads and pimples. It is lightweight and absorbs quickly. I always dry my face & hands thoroughly before applying any serums. Then, I ensure the serum absorbs into my skin before applying moisturizer. If I don’t, I get a sticky, icky feel.I find if I want results, I must be consistent and patient. Missing applications slow the benefits of the product on my skin.HOW I USE: AM & PM1 - Cleanse my face,2 - I apply 3-4 drops of this serum on my face.3 - LAST, I finish with my usual moisturizer.Zitsticka BFF Hydration Serum works well with the other skincare products that are part of my facial regimen.EXPIRATION DATE: 02/2026I always check for an expiration date before using, ESPECIALLY with health & beauty products.This Serum is as advertised, and works well. The PRICE is in the usual range.

So this feels great at application. It’s not heavy, it’s not greasy/oily and it sets into your skin fairly quickly which I love because great for under makeup routines and to be used to build on within minutes. However, I didn’t notice any effects long term that it said it would produce, and that’s a drag. It also appears in the photos to be tinted slightly. Even very similar to the models skin tone, but this is just WHITE. Like cutting open a flower stem and pressing the liquid out kind of white. So.. that was different. I also am still breaking out, so I’m not certain it actually does much in terms of acne like it says, but that’s my experience. Do with it what you want.All this to say, the price is a bit high for missing the mark.

This serum has salicylic acid but the percentage is not disclosed, from the description it seems like it's a low amount to be gentle enough for daily use. This is perfect for my needs because my skin is sensitive. The serum has sea buckthorn oil on top of other hydrating ingredients, making it somewhat moisturizing as well. It's still lightweight being a milky serum with oil, in which I apply it after other watery toners or serums.
