I Tested The Viral Prickly “Microneedling-In-A-Bottle” Serum — And To My Surprise, It Was Exactly As Promised On TikTok

So, my honest thoughts: I’m conflicted!

For the Collagen Jelly Cream, I loved the way my skin glowed in the mornings after, but I didn’t love the way it would take 3–4 hours until I felt like I could go to bed when it wasn’t as sticky. I also wouldn’t say that the product is very hydrating, but this is a take from someone who has very dry skin. I do wonder if this could work better as an occlusive, where you layer moisturizer under it, and use the jelly cream as a sealant.

As for the serum, I’m not 100% sure it’s actively fading my dark spots quicker in comparison to other products that promise the same. As Dr. Liu mentioned, it could be that longer use would deliver clearer results. I am happy to report that the “microneedling” sensations are perfectly tolerable — and kind of fun and interesting.

Overall, I do stand by the morning glow. ✨ The boosted glow of my skin, that I for sure noticed! I will continue with the products until I run out since I didn’t experience any negative reactions, and I’m hopeful. I’m always down for a glow!
