Pros
I purchased it at a discounted price during the sale. It seems to be an essence that can be used without burden. There are reviews saying it has good whitening effects, but I'm not sure.
Cons
The formula is a runny one. The absorption is low and it's sticky. I like a refreshing feel, so I'm considering whether to repurchase it because of this.
Tip
I mainly use it before bedtime because it's sticky.

Pros
I was able to purchase it at an affordable price (bought it for 6,000 won during a sale) and the amount of essence was sufficient, so I was satisfied. I didn't particularly feel the whitening effect, but there was no irritation or discomfort.
Cons
The formula is almost in a runny state, but absorption is slow and there is a bit of stickiness. I bought this affordable essence, but if I were looking to purchase an effective essence, I don't think I would buy this one again.
Tip
I purchased the large-sized sheet mask for daily use, but felt the essence was a bit lacking, so I bought this to apply before using the mask. If you apply it generously before the mask, the essence seems to absorb better.

Pros
Although the water-type essence doesn't absorb immediately after application, it absorbs well if you pat it on. It's very mild and suitable for use in the summer or spring/fall seasons, as it can be drying in the winter. I saw whitening effects after using the same line of toner and lotion for about 3 months!
Cons
When applied to the face, it doesn't absorb quickly and feels a bit unpleasant as it runs, and there's a slightly sticky feeling even after absorption, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin.

Pros
I used it for about a week and noticed a whitening effect! When I woke up, my skin looked brighter overall. With consistent use, the effect was maintained! It had a slightly oily feel, so I used 1 pump in the morning and 2 pumps in the evening.<
Cons
It didn't absorb as quickly as a watery essence due to the oily feel.

Pros
It seems that the complexion improvement effect is somewhat noticeable, perhaps due to the mood.
Cons
The formulation is sticky and the absorption is not that great. I'm not sure if the effect will be visible if you use it for a long time, but in the short term, there won't be a drastic effect.
Tip
Since I spent my own money on it, it's a bit of a shame, so I'd recommend trying it when it's on sale.

Pros
The scent is subtly mild and not overpowering, and it doesn't feel sticky even when applied during the summer. The product is gentle, so it doesn't cause any skin troubles.
Cons
The moisturizing power and absorption speed are a bit lacking, which is disappointing.

Pros
There wasn't much else that was good, aside from the whitening effect. I wouldn't be able to use it for long, and it's not great. The fact that it doesn't have any bad ingredients?
Cons
The spreadability is quite poor, and it feels like you're putting oil on your face. It seems like it wouldn't even work in the winter, this oily mess?? It's just not great. It's completely oily. It's not even moisturizing, and I thought maybe I just used too much, but that wasn't the case. For something that's supposed to help you lose weight, I'd recommend the black currant serum instead.

Pros
This is the first time I've used a whitening product. I didn't have high expectations, but my skin did get a bit brighter. Rather than becoming completely white, my skin tone has become more luminous. But I actually prefer this. Even though I have oily skin, I didn't feel like there was excess oil, and I haven't had any breakouts yet.
Cons
First of all, there's an issue with the packaging. When I pump it, it comes out with a squeaky sound and splatters everywhere. And in terms of application, it doesn't have a smooth, soft feel after applying. It's more like a sticky, tacky, or dense texture. It's a different sensation from just oiliness, and it's hard for me to describe. Personally, I don't particularly like this type of formula.
Tip
I see, thanks for the tip. I'll try cupping my hand when pumping the product to prevent it from splattering everywhere.

Pros
My skin feels brighter and the essence is not too heavy. The fragrance is nice.
Cons
It seemed fine when I first used it, but after using it for a while, my face feels a bit irritated and reddened. Ugh, it's a bit sticky and the absorption is slow.

Pros
Rather than debating the efficacy of the essence, it's just a decent skincare product.
Cons
It takes a very long time to absorb, and even after applying, the sticky feeling lingers for dozens of minutes, which was not great.
