There's not much negative, but it doesn't make my skin as radiant white as the advertisements claim.
I wish the volume was slightly increased.

I first purchased this product because it was said to be good for acne, and after using about 2 bottles, my skin seems to have brightened a bit.
Texture
It has a slightly viscous texture and is transparent in color, with a faint fragrance.
Two pumps are enough to cover the entire face.
Absorption
The ingredients are good, and while it has a slight stickiness, it absorbs quickly.
Blemishes
I'm not sure if it has helped with acne, but it doesn't feel irritating.
The transparent container allows me to see how much is left, and it's surprisingly durable - I dropped it once during an event, but it held up well. Overall, considering the price, I'm satisfied with this product and continue to use it.

건방진세럼

I'd recommend this to anyone whose face is starting to look a bit dull, or who is concerned about uneven skin tone or freckles!

The product quantity is quite small, so you can't apply it generously.
It's a bit pricey.

The formula is very fluid and applies smoothly, absorbing quickly.
There was a slight unevenness in my complexion, but after using up the entire bottle, the unevenness disappeared and my overall skin tone became brighter. Soft, supple skin is an added bonus. This is a product I would definitely repurchase.

There didn't seem to be any disappointing aspects. I used the product to target whitening, and I'm satisfied since I saw the whitening effect.

It has good spreadability and is well-absorbed. As a functional whitening cosmetic, I could visually feel a noticeable change in my skin with continued use, as the whitening effect was quite apparent.

Took off 1 point because it's expensive, but other than the high price, there are almost no bad points, so I gave it 5 points
Strongly recommended for those with oily skin

It seems to have no oily residue and covers the skin in a moisturizing way
It seems like it would be good for those with oily skin

While this is a whitening/brightening product, I wouldn't say the brightening effect is super dramatic. My skin looks more 'clean' and 'clear' rather than intensely whitened. The moisturizing benefits actually seem to be the stronger point of this serum.

I'm on my 4th bottle now, and even though I have sensitive skin and usually react badly to products, this one has been working great for me. It has an amazing moisturizing effect, and after using it my skin texture has improved and my complexion looks brighter. This is my holy grail serum!

It was good in every aspect, but if I had to pick something, the price point might be the only thing I'm a bit unsure about.

It absorbs well and is moisturizing enough that I sometimes skip the lotion and just use this. It was fine even though I have sensitive skin.

It's too expensive and they don't give any discounts, it's not worth the price

The skin tone brightens up and it applies fairly well
Moisturizing!!

It would have been better if the lid was like a toner, where you twist it to open. I've ordered and used it a few times, but the lid doesn't close or open easily, and sometimes the contents suddenly leak out, which is a waste of a whole bottle in my bag.

I really like the feeling of my skin becoming supple. After applying the Derebe toner, I followed up with the serum, and when I touched my skin, there was an initial slightly sticky feeling, but over time it became naturally soft and smooth. Even as time passes, there is no tightness or dryness in the inner layers of my skin, so I use it regularly. In the winter, when my skin tends to be drier, I apply a bit more than usual.

Since it has whitening functionality, it seems to pair well with exfoliating peeling gels. With its gentle ingredients, it applies comfortably on the skin even after exfoliation. The Saesalpilling from the same company is also good, but I felt the synergy was nice when I used it together with the Mild Peeling Gel I purchased from Dr.G. As it has whitening effects, it's probably best to apply it at night!

First of all, the price is really expensive, so I still hesitate every time I repurchase it. But since I feel anxious without it, I keep buying it. And I'm also a bit dissatisfied with the packaging. It's made of heavy glass, and the pump structure is really difficult to use all the way to the bottom. No matter how stubbornly I try, I always feel like I can't finish the whole bottle. Furthermore, when I bought it for the third time, the pump became loose, so the cap would open along with it - that was really annoying. The packaging is heavy and not very easy to use.

I'm someone who has repurchased and used this serum for the 4th time!
Like many others, when I first encountered it, I was tempted by the SNS ads and purchased the serum + peeling set, and received the Saesalcream as a gift. (But it seems they almost always give the Saesalcream as a gift, so I've never actually bought the cream itself.) Anyway, the peeling and cream are good, but this serum was a product that didn't irritate my sensitive skin while still being effective. When they said it had whitening effects, I was a bit skeptical at first, but my skin tone definitely improved and the dullness of my skin was reduced. However, I really noticed these improvements around the time I finished a whole bottle, so it's best not to expect immediate results.
I have oily skin, and I used this a lot especially during my nighttime routine. In fact, I tend to use heavier products for my toner and cream, but if the serum is too heavy as well, it can feel a bit much. But this product has just the right amount of freshness, so I was satisfied with how it felt to use.

My skin texture has improved and my skin tone seems brighter haha

The serum is a bit too shiny on the surface, so I think I need to apply something on top of it to help set my other makeup.

Applying this doesn't make my skin look radiant, it just makes it look shiny on the surface. I bought it to fade my pigmentation, and I hope to see some effects during the one bottle's worth of usage. Since it's only been 2 weeks, the results aren't very noticeable yet.

Hmm.. The scent is Pocari Sweat. I have relatively dry skin, and while using this serum, I'm not sure about the moisturizing effect, but it does give a watery feeling.

When I wake up in the morning, I sometimes feel like the serum sits a bit on the surface of my skin. I think it's because I have a combination of oily and dry skin types. Those with oily skin may want to do a patch test before using it.

I've been using this whitening serum for a while now, even though it's a bit pretentious. I do notice my skin looking a bit brighter, but the effect isn't dramatic. The texture is similar to the Innisfree Green Tea Serum - it flows on the back of my hand like a light lotion. There's no tightness or irritation, so it's easy to use without any issues.
