Rael

 Microcrystal Activated Serum 5000

I've been testing the Rael Microcrystal Activated PM Serum 5000 for the past week, and I have mixed feelings. The first thing you notice when applying it is the sensation: hundreds of tiny pinpricks all over your face. It's not exactly painful, but it's definitely noticeable, especially if you're sensitive. After the first minute, the feeling fades a bit, and surprisingly, my skin never turned red or irritated right after use. The next morning, my skin felt smoother and had a nice, healthy glow, which I loved. It also looked a little more awake than usual, and the texture felt refreshed. But… I started breaking out on my forehead after the second, third night. I'm not sure if it's part of the skin's "purge" process or just my skin not agreeing with it, but it definitely made me hesitant to keep using it. Results-wise, I didn't see anything dramatic after 7 days. A slight boost in radiance and smoothness, yeah but nothing game-changing yet. If you're curious and don't mind a bit of tingling, it might be worth trying, but keep an eye on how your skin responds! Disclaimer: This product was gifted to me for review, but as always, my opinions are 100% honest.

I would like to start this review by saying that I have never tried this brand before but upon learning about the brand itself I was very interested. I love that the brand is founded by Korean women and I love all of the technology they utilized to make a product that actually works. I know the majority of people that I run into deal with some type of acne. My daughter and I tried this together. I am in my mid forties and get hormonal acne and blackheads. My daughter is sixteen and has minor teenage acne. I started by just using this twice per week. It does tingle. My daughter thought it was worse than I did. But it does subside quickly. It also works! After just one use I saw a difference in redness and congestion and after the second use it started clearing!! Wow what a game changer! I did have to stop using my retinol products when I used this because it made me too sensitive but other than that great product!! I received this product in exchange for my honest review

I love this serum! It feels like it is working instantly because you can feel the little micro crystals on your skin! I feel like you can feel the crystals even after letting the product dry and then applying other products. I feel it helps my skin texture, especially from the summer sun! My blackheads appear to be less prominent and my aging areas appear more plump! I recommend putting this serum on FIRST before any others and follow with the rest of your skincare routine! I also recommend avoiding sensitive areas like eyes/eyelids! If you are not okay with the small sensation of tingling/microcrystals I suggest trying the lesser strength to start!

I started using Rael's Microcrystal Activated PM Serum 5000 during a severe PCOS flare-up, and the transformation was almost immediate. After just one use, my inflamed hormonal acne visibly calmed overnight, and I woke up to radiant, glass-like skin! With continued use, I've seen a dramatic improvement in acne scars, skin texture, fine lines, and pore tightness—my complexion now has a natural glow I hadn't seen in ages! The magic lies in the lightweight serum's microcrystal spicules, which gently stimulate the skin and enhance absorption. Key ingredients like azelaic acid (for acne and pigmentation), copper peptides (for elasticity and repair), and Cica PDRN (for soothing and regeneration) work synergistically to deliver actual results. There is a mild prickling sensation—I personally enjoy this because it's your proof that it's working and makes it feel effective! If you're sensitive, Rael offers a gentler 2000 strength version, but for me, the 5000 is perfection! At this price point, the results are beyond impressive. I'm officially sold—and can't wait to see what long-term continued use brings!

I have had acne on and off my whole life, so I was excited to give this a try. I received this for a review of my honest opinion. I love the idea of micro needling, and the fact that as you're padding the serum into your skin, you can literally feel it doing its work beneath the surface. It's definitely a new feeling for me because I have never used a product like this, but I have noticed that my acne has been pretty much cleared up for the most part. I have definitely noticed a glow to my skin. My skin has been so dull and dry lately. It just is not where I would like it to be, but after using this product a few times a week I have definitely noticed a difference and the only con for me would be the needle filling as you apply this before any other products as you're rubbing the other products and you can just feel that prickle poke filling which it means the products working, but that's the only thing that I was not a big fan of but other than that, the product works so good
