Other companies' vitamin-rich serums tend to sting when absorbed into the skin, but this product has no such feeling at all. 🧡 The reddish pigmentation caused by acne scars has faded. If you apply the serum consistently to the area after the acne has healed, the red scars will disappear more quickly. 🧡 This is a serum that agrees with my skin without any trouble, so I'm on my second bottle now.
Cons💔 There is a slight stickiness and it's a bit on the runny side, so there's a slight inconvenience when applying. I pump it onto the back of my hand and then apply it to my face, but it tends to drip down my hand, so I have to hurry and spread it. 💔 I'm not sure where I can purchase it in Korea. If I have the chance to go abroad in the future, I'll buy it and bring it back.
TipIf you apply a cream containing peptide ingredients after this serum, the effects will be better. They say that the combination of vitamin C and peptides helps collagen production! (I'm not certain, but I think that's why Drunk Elephant also sells their Protein Polypeptide Cream as a set with this.)

It's effective in improving skin complexion and vitamin C benefits, without the typical stinging sensation of vitamin C products, while maintaining a nice, supple texture. However, I'm not sure about its whitening effects as I didn't experience any fading of dark spots. I've tried various currencies like the dollar, euro, won, and yen, and have settled on this product for now, but I'll switch to another good one if a better option comes along. I usually discard vitamin C products when they start to oxidize, and I slightly regret getting the 30ml size initially. If you're a daily vitamin C user, the full-size product would be a better choice.
ConsIt would be great if they offered a set of small-sized Sisley vitamin ampoules, around 5 pieces, as vitamin products are best used up quickly after opening.
TipFor functional skincare products, I don't use the same one every day, but rather switch based on my skin's needs. If you have a similar approach and are looking for a vitamin C serum, I'd recommend: 1. Try the starter kit that includes the T.L.C. Nighttime Serum and the Lala Whipped Cream, in addition to the vitamin C serum. (The Lala Whipped Cream is amazing, but unfortunately not available on Hwahae. It's perfect for dry U-zone areas in the winter.) 2. There's also a set with an 8ml vitamin C serum and an 8ml hydrating gel. I usually quickly use up the vitamin C serum from this set. (The hydrating gel is gentle and mixes well with moisturizers, serums, and even heavy foundations.) These vitamin C serums usually have a 6-month usage guideline after opening, but if you use various functional products based on your skin's needs like I do, you may not be able to finish it within that timeframe. Your hands, elbows, and chest will thank you though! * After using vitamin C products, be sure to follow up with a B5 or hydrating product.
