Unnecessary discomfort
ok, so I'm pretty on the fence with this product. I've used many different azaelic acid products in the past. this product causes discomfort when I apply it due to the 'micro-crystals'. it feels like (and even looks like) you're rubbing fiberglass on your face. when I get to this step in my skincare routine, I sigh because I don't enjoy it. does it cause physical pain that I can't handle? no- but it's absolutely uncomfortable and doesn't feel good. and then when I apply my moisturizer on top, I get the pricking sensation all over my face again because the crystals are sitting on top of my skin. this product works, sure, but I won't be re-purchasing because it works just like all other azaelic acids I've used in the past.. and those AREN'T uncomfortable to use. I understand brands trying to make products different and unique, but, this is a miss for me.
Not bad but not in awe
When I started using the Rael Microcrystal Clear PM Serum 2000 the first thing I noticed was the tingling sensation. It was not painful or irritating but it gave me the feeling that the serum was active and doing something for my skin. I was especially surprised that it felt safe enough to apply after extractions since most serums in that situation would sting or cause redness. Instead my skin stayed calm and handled it without flaring up. As I continued using the serum I paid attention to how my skin looked the next day. I did not see any new breakouts or irritation which mattered to me because many products can trigger that when skin is already sensitive. With Rael my skin felt steady. It was not overly dry and not greasy. It stayed balanced enough that I could keep it in my night routine without worrying. The results were not dramatic though. I did not notice big changes in my skin tone or texture in the first weeks. It did not give me instant clarity or major brightening. It felt more like the type of serum that needs long term consistency to show benefits. I believe with progressive use the results could become more noticeable but it is not something that transforms skin overnight. Overall my experience was neutral but safe. The serum did not harm my skin and the tingling reassured me that it was doing something below the surface. At the same time I did not see visible changes that made it feel like a must have or a game changer. For someone who needs a gentle option that will not upset the skin barrier this could be a solid choice. For faster results you may need to pair it with other targeted products or commit to using it for a longer time. In the end the Rael Microcrystal Clear PM Serum 2000 did not hurt my skin but it also did not help in a significant way. I think with consistent use it could improve skin gradually but for me it worked more as a supportive step than a standout treatment
Interesting product
I've been using the Real Micro Crystal Activated Serum 2000 for a few weeks now, and it has completely elevated my skincare routine. The texture is silky and absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, making it perfect for layering under moisturizer or SPF. My skin feels instantly hydrated and looks noticeably smoother, with a subtle, healthy glow that wasn't there before. I've also noticed my fine lines appearing softer and my overall tone more even. What I love most is how lightweight it feels while still delivering serious results — it's like my skin drinks it in. This serum is definitely worth the investment for anyone looking to boost radiance, hydration, and skin firmness.
You can feel it working
I've used a lot of skincare products over the years, but this one is in a league of its own. The first time applied this serum, I actually stopped for a second because it felt so unusual… kind of a soft prickly-velvet texture that melts in. Not irritating, just… different. And honestly, I love that I can feel it doing something. The mix of azelaic acid, allantoin, and ectoin is gentle but effective. My skin started looking calmer and more even after about two weeks. Bonus points for being dermatologist-tested and sensitive-skin friendly. If you're bored with the same old skincare textures and want something that's unique and effective, and at a solidly affordable price point. this is worth a spot in your routine! I was given this product for free in exchange for my honest review, but I take beauty very seriously, and I mean every word.

Love it
Rael Microcrystal Activated Serum 2000 is a lightweight yet potent serum that delivers noticeable results without irritation. The microcrystal technology ensures the active ingredients penetrate deeply, targeting fine lines, uneven texture, and dullness. Its silky texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin smooth, hydrated, and refreshed. After consistent use, skin appears brighter, pores look more refined, and overall tone feels more even. It layers well under moisturizer and makeup, making it easy to incorporate into both morning and nighttime routines. Gentle enough for sensitive skin yet powerful enough to see visible improvement, this serum is a great choice for achieving a healthy, radiant complexion.
