Rui En just joined TikTok and she’s already going viral for this surprising unsponsored beauty rec

Local star Rui En has quietly joined the TikTok world (@wilderseas_29), and in true low-key fashion, she’s already gone viral not for a dance challenge, but for her honest rave about a skincare product that changed her complexion.

In a candid TikTok video posted just four days ago, Rui En revealed her current skincare holy grail: the Emma Lewisham Supernatural Blemish Face Serum. The actress, who has oily, breakout-prone skin and a history of sensitivity and eczema in the family, shared that she’s always struggled to find products that are both effective and gentle, listing off active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs and even niacinamide as no-gos.

She discovered the serum after reading a glowing review from another user online and decided to give it a shot. “This is unpaid, unsponsored and completely unwarranted,” she clarified in her post. “But this product has been life changing.”

The serum, which works by supporting the skin’s microbiome with probiotics, is a rare find in Rui En’s books: it fights breakouts without harsh actives. “It takes time. I gave it about two months,” she advises. “But I actually couldn’t believe the difference in my skin.” In fact, she was so impressed, she ordered a refill before finishing the first bottle.

While she admits it’s a splurge (she purchased it from Space NK), the results speak for themselves. Consider us influenced.
