Many reviewers explicitly say they bought it after seeing it recommended by influencers, YouTubers, or TikTok/Instagram, and wanted to test if it lived up to the hype.
Reputation for calming sensitive/reactive skin
Buyers with dermatitis, rosacea-like redness, or general sensitivity purchased specifically because of its known soothing reputation, often as a go-to for skin barrier issues.
Repurchase/loyalty
A large share of reviews are repeat buyers on their 2nd through 8th+ bottle, indicating strong repurchase intent once tried.
Value/large size
Several reviewers chose the bigger 80ml set specifically because they use it up quickly and it offers better cost-per-use than the smaller 30ml version, especially during sales.
Gifting
Some reviewers bought it as a gift for sisters or friends with irritated or sensitive skin, based on their own positive experience.

Daily AM/PM use
Most common pattern is applying once or twice daily, morning and night, as a core step in the routine.
