Best Serum in a Bottle

Okay, let's talk skincare game-changer: the Rael Miracle Clear Exfoliating Serum 5000 is seriously that girl. From the moment I added this into my nighttime routine, I could tell it wasn't playing around—this serum came to work. With powerhouse ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, sodium hyal...

Unfortunately, after using a few times, I concluded that my face does not do well with this product. I am not typically sensitive to face products but this one may have been too intense for me. Maybe the lower formulation would have been a better suitable option but the overall pain after using had ...

giving a glow

I've been using serum a two-ish weeks and I think I am starting to really like it and definitely seeing some results. The microcrystals in this serum give a light tingling sensation when applied, which makes it feel like it's actively resurfacing my skin, but without the harshness I've experienced from other exfoliating serums. After some regular consistent use, my skin texture started feeling noticeably smoother, pores around my nose looked less visible, and my overall tone looked more even and radiant. What I really appreciate is that it doesn't just exfoliate. It's packed with skin-supporting ingredients like glycerin and panthenol that hydrate and calm, while copper tripeptide-1 and adenosine help with repair and plumpness. Thus resulting in my skin feeling fresh and healthy rather than tight or irritated. I've also noticed my makeup applies more seamlessly, and on some days I skip foundation altogether because of the glow it gives me. I recommend using this as the very first step after cleansing so it can absorb fully before layering hydrating serums or moisturizer. Definitely avoid the eye area, and if you're new to actives, start slow, use like once a week, then build up to every other night as your skin adjusts. It's strong but balanced, and I've had no irritation. For me, it's improved texture, reduced clogged pores, softened fine lines, and boosted radiance, all just from this one product.

Skincare you can feel!

I am absolutely in love with the Rael Miracle Clear Serum! From the very first week, I noticed a visible improvement in my skin's clarity and texture. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers perfectly under my moisturizer without any sticky residue. When first applying you definitely feel as if needles are going into the skin. The formula feels soothing and gentle, yet it's incredibly effective at calming breakouts and reducing redness. I also appreciate that it's made with clean ingredients and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. My complexion looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned than it has in years. This serum truly delivers on its promises and has become an essential step in my skincare routine. Highly recommend!

Game Changer for Acne Scars & Radiant Skin

Submitted 7 days ago

By Kristy

From Orange County

I've tried countless products for acne scars since hormonal breakouts, even the viral K-beauty Reedle Shots (100 & 300), but those left my skin irritated, peeling, and unable to wear makeup for days. Then I discovered Rael's Microcrystal Activated Serum 5000, and it completely changed everything. This serum is incredibly gentle yet so effective. It brightened my skin, faded my acne scars, and delivered visible results within just a week of using it three times. My Results: Day 1: (Before applying this serum) Dark hormonal acne scar + dry, dull skin. Day 2: Scars and dead dry skin visibly diminishing. Day 3: Smooth, glowing, healthy skin; scar barely noticeable, pores tightened Now, makeup goes on flawlessly - no peeling, no dry patches, just radiant skin. I even get compliments when I am bare-faced at the gym! If you've struggled with sensitive skin and harsh exfoliators, this serum is a must-try. It's gentle, soothing, and it truly delivers results. Highly recommend!

The best serum for acne that I've tried yet

Submitted 8 days ago

By Jocelyn

From Boerne, TX

I tried this after never having used a serum for acne- let alone my cystic acne & sensitive skin before, nor having had any experience with microneedling. This felt so nice going on with my skincare, upon first and every application after that. I started by implementing it into my night-time routine 1x and, then, I proceeded to do it another day. It was gentle enough on my sensitive skin and has improved my complexion so nicely in such a short amount of time! Will purchase in the future!
