They said it was more effective than Goodal products, so I decided to give it a try. At first, I thought I should only apply it at night since it's a Vitamin C serum, but after reading the instructions, I realized it's actually a day serum meant for morning use! While I'm not entirely sure about its effectiveness, I do feel that my skin becomes more firm and elastic when I apply it. Plus, the packaging has a twist-and-pump design, which makes it convenient and hygienic to use!
ConsAlthough it's meant to be applied in the morning, I'm a bit concerned about its brown color and whether it's safe to use in sunlight. Because of this, I feel like I definitely need to apply sunscreen afterward. Oh, and I noticed that after applying this serum and sunscreen, then putting on a face mask, some of the brown color from the serum transferred onto the mask!
TipThe instructions say to store it in the refrigerator, so that's what I do! It feels nice and cool when applied!

It also absorbs with a nice, firm texture.
ConsIt's on the stickier side, so even though it's a day serum, I only apply it when I'm not wearing makeup. I skip it before putting on makeup.

It's effective for improving skin tone, which is what you'd expect from a vitamin C product. While using it, I didn't experience the typical tingling sensation often associated with vitamin products, but it still provides that nice, firm feeling. I can't speak to its whitening effects as I don't have dark spots. I've burned through a lot of dollars, euros, won, and yen trying different products, but I've somewhat settled on this one for now. That said, if another great product comes along, I'll switch. I tend to toss vitamin C products when they oxidize, so I slightly regret buying the 30ml size at first. If you use vitamin C products daily, it's better to go for the full-size version.
ConsIt would be nice if they offered a box set of about five small-sized products, similar to Sisley's vitamin ampoules. With vitamin products, it's best to use them up quickly after opening anyway.
TipWhen it comes to functional products, I don't use just one daily but switch them up depending on my skin condition. If you have a similar style and are looking for a vitamin C serum, here are some suggestions: 1. There's a starter kit that includes the T.L.C. Night Serum and LaLa Whip Cream along with the vitamin C serum. Give this starter kit a try! (The Whip Cream is amazing - it's not on Hwahae, unfortunately. It's excellent for winter, especially if you have a dry U-zone. Give it a try!) 2. There's also a set with 8ml of the hydrating gel and 8ml of the vitamin C serum. I buy this set and use it up quickly. (The hydrating gel is gentle and mixes well with moisturizers, other serums, or even heavy foundations if you need to mix it.) They recommend using this vitamin C serum in the morning and finishing it within 6 months of opening. But if you're like me and use various functional products depending on your skin condition, you might not finish it within 6 months. In that case, your arms, back of hands, and chest end up getting the royal treatment! * After using vitamin C products, make sure to layer on a B5 or hydrating product!
