  Pros

  I got to try this product through a friend's recommendation. They said it's more effective than Glow Recipe products, so I decided to give it a try. At first, I thought I only needed to use it at night since it's a vitamin C serum, but the instructions said it's a day serum, so I have to use it in the morning. I'm not entirely sure about the effectiveness yet, but I do feel like my skin becomes more supple when I use it! The packaging also has a twist-open design, which makes it easy and hygienic to dispense the product.

  Cons

  Since it's meant to be used in the morning, I'm a bit concerned about the brown color of the serum and whether it'll be okay to use under sunlight. So I think I'll have to make sure to apply sunscreen as well. *Oh, and after using this serum, applying sunscreen, and wearing a mask, the brown color from the serum seems to have transferred a bit onto my mask. Haha

  Tip

  The instructions say to store this in the refrigerator, so that's what I've been doing. It feels nice and refreshing to use the chilled serum!

  OK
  Pros

  The abundant vitamin content can be felt in the aroma and color as well! And it applies smoothly and evenly.

  Cons

  It's a bit too sticky, so I only apply it before makeup and when I'm not wearing makeup.

  Pros

  Among the vitamin C products, this powder-free form is relatively well-stabilized, and the other ingredients are also decent. 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.

  Cons

  It 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.

  Tip

  For 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.
