– [VILLAGE 11 FACTORY] MIRACLE YOUTH SERUM (50ml) Korean Skincare - Premium Serum with Retinol & Niacinamide - Intensive Anti-Aging Treatment - 81% Natural Ingredients - Vegan Formula

I am relatively new to Korean skincare but enjoying trying some products out so this is a brand that is new to me. The appearance of this serum was slightly unexpected - somewhat cloudy - but it is non-greasy and absorbs well. As someone with dry skin this definitely helped my skin feel more hydrated and so far I am very impressed with it.

This is a very good introductory starter retinol or just retinol for people whose skin doesn't need anything heavy duty. First of all, the bottle is nice and sturdy and it comes with a nice pipette for application, I was momentarily... a bit taken aback by the colour of the liquid as it's quite cloudy but this seems to be "how it is", not an off batch. Oh well, onwards and upwards, I thought. I wouldn't say this is fragrance free personally, there's a subtle scent - which is actually very pleasant - but it doesn't linger longer. This is a fairly thin serum in my opinion and it absorbs nearly instantly but it's runny enough that I don't feel like my fingers are dragging on my skin when I rub it in. It's a dewy finish and does make my skin feel more soft and supple. This is a 50ml bottle, which is a bit more than the usual 30ml you get with similar serums particularly from Korea, so there's good value for money with this too. All in all, recommend for anyone curious about retinol and want something gentle that'll at least leave you with a nice glow!

I gave this serum to my mother to try, as she was curious about starting a proper anti-aging skincare routine. This was her first time using a product with retinol, so we were a bit cautious at first, expecting some of the common side effects like tingling, redness, or peeling—especially on more mature skin. She’s only been using the serum for a few days, just under a week, but so far the experience has been very positive. The serum is lightweight and smooth, absorbs nicely, and leaves her skin feeling soft and well-hydrated. Most importantly, there have been no side effects at all—no burning, no tightness, no irritation, which is often a concern with retinol-based products. She really liked the feel of the product on her skin and mentioned that it felt calming and refreshing. The niacinamide seems to help support the skin barrier, and it’s nice to know the formula includes 81% natural ingredients and is vegan-friendly, which made her more comfortable using it. It’s a pipette-style bottle, not a pump, and the design works well—easy to use and allows for precise application. A little goes a long way, and the 50ml size is very generous compared to many other serums. While it’s still early days to comment on any major changes, her skin already looks a little more radiant and feels smoother to the touch. It’s a great introduction to retinol—gentle, nourishing, and thoughtfully formulated. We’re looking forward to seeing the long-term benefits as she continues to use it. So far, a really good experience and well worth trying, especially if you’re looking for a beginner-friendly retinol serum.

Has a runny consistency and absorbs well. One pipette squeeze is enough to fit my whole face and décolleté. It has a really subtle scent that doesn’t linger for too long and it doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue. I’ve been using this daily under and anti-aging cream and it’s been layering well. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It preps it nicely for my makeup routine too. It’s quite gentle and given the small retinol percentage, would be suitable for beginners. A little goes a long way so I’m presuming this will last me some time. Overall, good quality and value. I’d be happy to recommend.

I am a fan of Korean skincare. Actually majority of my skin care items are Korean. I think these are becoming more available in the high street shops now as well. However there are so many brands around and it is difficult to choose good value for money items. I decided to try this serum from village 11 factory. It is easy to apply, absorbed very well and quickly. Leaves skin feeling soft. Does not leave a greasy residue. You need to use only a small amount of it so this bottle should last for some time. So far I am happy with the product and how my face skin feels after application of it.

This is a review of Village 11 Factory Miracle Youth Serum (50ml). The appearance of this serum in the dropper is a bit off-putting (cloudy and yellowish/off-white ), but it feels OK when applied – light, not greasy and absorbs well. It is supposed to be almond scented, but it’s barely noticeable. I’ve used a serum from Village 11 before, and it definitely helped with my dry skin. This one contains a mysterious “Village Complex” which is not explained in the Amazon product description; so I have provided a photo of the ingredients listed on the pack. There are a lot of things in there (e.g. witch hazel, lavender, liquorish, tea tree, etc.), so I recommend you check it doesn’t contain anything you are allergic too. My only complaint is the price.

This serum is a new brand to me and I've checked it is a popular brand in Korea. I always tends to use Asia brand for skin care as i think it best fit my skin type. The bottle of the serum is dark in colour so that it shield the serum from Sunlight. The top of the little attached with a pipette which is useful to dispense serum for application. The serum itself is cloudy, milky colour. They are very easy to absorb and I do not need too much for each time, about 3/4 to one full pump depends the size of your face. I can feel my skin gradually less dull and start to glow. The price per ml is reasonable. The village11 formula, retinol and niacinamide did a good job. Happy to recommend it.

Sencillamente maravilloso. La piel queda mucho más “Elástica”.

My mom loves this beginner retinol. She is a melanated woman in her mid-60s with early signs of aging but otherwise perfect skin. She loves this retinol because it's gentle and effective. She has worked her way up to wearing it 3 nights a week. It's a decent value for the money. Our only qualm is that we wish it came in an airless pump bottle instead of the dropper

Je suis très satisfaite de ce sérum. La texture est agréable, il s’applique facilement et ne laisse pas de sensation collante. Je l’utilise depuis quelque temps, et ma peau paraît plus souple et plus lumineuse. Il hydrate bien sans irriter, même sur ma peau sensible. C’est un bon choix si on débute avec le rétinol. En plus, la composition est clean et vegan, ce qui est toujours un plus pour moi.

This item was made available to me as part of the Amazon Vine program. My review is based solely on my own experience and represents my honest assessment without any influence from the seller or third parties. I got this for my wife and this is her experience: As a long-time fan of Korean skincare – I really appreciate the focus on gentle yet effective formulas – I was excited to try the VILLAGE 11 FACTORY Miracle Youth Serum. I’ve been curious about incorporating retinol into my routine, but hesitant due to sensitivity concerns. This serum seemed like a good starting point with its low 0.1% concentration. I appreciated that it's vegan and boasts a high percentage of natural ingredients. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky – a definite plus for layering under moisturizer. After using it consistently for a few weeks, I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in skin texture; my complexion feels smoother overall. While I haven’t seen dramatic wrinkle reduction yet (and didn't expect to with such a gentle formula), my skin appears slightly plumper and more hydrated. I did experience minimal initial dryness, as expected with retinol, but it was easily managed with increased moisturizer use. The unscented formulation is also a win for those sensitive to fragrances. It’s important to follow the instructions and start slowly, especially if you're new to retinol, and always wear sunscreen during the day. This serum provides a gentle yet effective introduction to the benefits of retinol skincare.

Sono oltre i 2/3 della bottiglia e posso dirmi abbastanza soddisfatta di questo siero. Per iniziare ha un assorbenza perfetta, non è unto e non lascia patine fastidiose sulla pelle ed è ottimo da usare in combo con una crema magari antiage (se cercate l'effetto antiage). Sembra un buon idratante, la pelle ne giova sicuramente, anche se secondo me è adatto a pelli giovani. Per pelli segnate potrebbe essere uno step idratante ma nulla più.
