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.

I've been mixing this product with my morning lotion for over a year now, and my freckles have faded overall and my complexion has become brighter. I'm using the entire Drunk Elephant line, but this product is especially my favorite.
ConsThe fragrance is not great, but I'd like to give it a high score for not being artificially added. And since it contains vitamin C, the product color has been getting darker over time.
