When it comes to establishing good skincare habits, proper cleansing and daily sunscreen use are of utmost importance. But the unsung hero of any skincare routine is arguably exfoliation.
Regular exfoliation sloughs off dead skin cells to create a smoother, brighter complexion. Plus, it allows skincare products and makeup application to be more effective and even. However, not all exfoliators are made equal, and some may leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, red, and sensitive. This is where the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum steps in.
To find out just how effective the serum is, Daily Vanity invited 15 readers to try the product for four weeks and give us their honest opinions about it. Spoiler alert: the average verdict for the serum was a 4.5-star rating out of 5!
Before we dive into the reviews, let’s learn a little more about the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum.
About Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum
Instead of using jagged particles or exfoliating acids, the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum uses natural plant extracts to gently exfoliate your skin. White willow bark contains natural salicylic acid to clear out congestion, while organic papaya extract is a fruit enzyme that breaks up dead skin cells – think of it as Pac-Man eating up pesky dots.
Together with licorice extract and niacinamide (a.k.a. vitamin B3), the serum works to regulate sebum production as it reduces redness, lightens pigmentation, and evens out skin tone. It’s non-comedogenic and oil-free too, so those with acne-prone skin can use it without a worry.
Though it is said to be safe for those with sensitive skin, we recommend performing a patch test for 24 hours first as the serum contains a blend of citrus oils, such as orange, lime, and lemon oils.
Simply massage a small amount on your face after cleansing, avoiding the eye area. Then, follow with a moisturiser and sunblock during the day and a moisturiser at night. You’ll see more radiant, glowing skin in no time.

I love the light citrusy scent of the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum! The pump bottle also allows for easy application. The texture of the serum is lightweight too, and it absorbed very quickly.

Even better, my skin appears less oily and less red. In fact, my skin looks brighter and more radiant than it did before the trial. I am very glad this doesn’t irritate the skin, and instead, I saw results from this!
The scent of the product also helps to refresh me in the morning, and I don’t have to spend time waiting for the product to be absorbed as it sinks in very quickly! It definitely helped to smooth out new bumps and reduce redness. It even brightened my face in one or two weeks.

The packaging of the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum is pretty cute and the serum smells citrusy and fresh. The serum holds well on the fingers without dripping and applies amazingly on the skin. The gel-like texture feels cooling on the face and absorbs surprisingly quickly, leaving my face soft and smooth to the touch.

Skin concerns: Dull skin, uneven skin tone, textured skin, visible/enlarged pores, blackheads/whiteheads, acne/blemishes
I liked the pleasant citrus scent of the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum. It has a slight cooling sensation upon application, and it spread and absorbed easily – I had to use more serum to cover my entire face because of that. The gel-like serum settles fast into a silky finish.
I noticed that my pore size was visibly reduced from the first use, and my skin looked and felt smoother. After four weeks, my skin felt much softer and more supple. It felt well hydrated without feeling greasy. Plus, my pigmentation had lightened and my skin looked brighter overall.
Serums that target dark spots and pigmentation usually take a while to work, but I saw results after the first week. It’s safe to say that this product has worked better for me than other serums that I have used previously. My skin looks glowier in the morning when I’ve woken up.
I really liked this serum and would consider repurchasing it after this bottle. However, I noticed more bumps during the last week of the trial and turned to products that would soothe and repair the skin, so I would caution against over-exfoliation.

Skin concerns: Uneven skin tone, visible/enlarged pores, blackheads/whiteheads, acne/blemishes
When I first tried the Oh Hello Bae Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum, the consistency of the product felt a little too thick, but that all changed when I applied it on my face. The gel-like serum absorbed fast, and my skin felt smoother almost immediately. I like its light, pleasant citrus scent too.
From the first use, my skin felt softer and more supple, and my skin texture felt more refined too. After four weeks, my skin felt much more hydrated and looked brighter than before the trial. I also saw a reduction in pimples and blemishes, and my skin seems less oily now.
My main skin concern was how oily my T-zone would become, especially at the end of each day and on the days leading up to my period. This serum has been effective in reducing oil production and even helping to reduce the severity of my period acne.
It’s much better than a popular serum I tried from a luxury brand too. I cannot wait to try out the other amazing products by Oh Hello Bae!
