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 ...

Glowing skin with Rael Beauty Miracle Clear

Rael Beauty Miracle Clear Microcrystal Activated PM Serum 5000 is a game changer. Since I have started using it in the past few weeks it seems to be reducing my old acne scars and imporiving my overall skin texture. I have been using it at night with just about two pumps on my face after I wash it. It first gives off a prickling, cooling type sensation which quickly fades as the product gets absorbed into my skin. It is like a silky gel. Then after that I use my regular moisturizer over it. It is fragrance-free and feels lightweight while I have it on. The ingredients are powerful and are the secret sauce of the product. I am going to continue to use it and hope my acne scars will get lighter and further imporve. Over the last few weeks, my skin looks brighter, hydrated and overall my skin has a better glow to it. I was given this product to try in exchange for my honest review.

Loved the results, but it definitely tingles!

I've been using the Rael Microcrystal Activate Serum 5000 for a bit and have noticed fewer breakouts and smoother skin texture overall. It really does feel like "microneedling in a bottle"—you can feel a noticeable prickling sensation right away. It doesn't hurt, but it was surprising at first, and I could still feel a light tingle after applying my other products, when lying on my pillow, and even the next morning during my skincare routine. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to start with the 2000 strength version. The serum has no scent, applies like a smooth, clear gel, and isn't thick or sticky. If you wear contacts, I highly recommend removing them before applying the serum, just to be safe. I also found it helped boost absorption when I used it before a multi-hour collagen mask. Overall, I enjoyed the results and think it's a solid product, though not life-changing for me—hence my 4/5 rating. I received this as part of an educational promotion.

I'm loving the Rael Microcrystal Activated Serum 5000! Initially, I felt a tingling sensation, which lingered long after application, but it wasn't uncomfortable. it seemed to signal that the serum was working its magic. I've noticed a significant reduction in the visibility of my spots, and my skin looks smoother overall. The serum's microcrystal technology seems to be delivering impressive results. I'm thrilled with the product's effectiveness.

Microneedling but less painful!

Submitted 3 days ago

By Melissa Lopez

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.

This really works

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
