It's great to apply this before putting on a face mask.

The brightening effect isn't particularly impressive. I've been using it for over a month now, so it might not be enough time to see results yet. I'll keep my hopes up...

It absorbs well. You can feel it sinking into your skin immediately after application.

공진향 설 미백 빛 에센스

I didn't get the impression that it was exceptionally good for brightening. It was supposed to be especially effective for brightening and glow, but when applied, it didn't absorb well and felt like it was just sitting on top of my skin...

The way it absorbs wasn't too bad. While it didn't seem particularly hydrating, it wasn't matte either.

Everything about it is fantastic, except for the price which is quite steep. If it weren't for that, I'd say it's perfect!

It gives my skin such a beautiful glow! The application is absolutely wonderful too.

The moisture level seems a bit lacking
I wish it had a little more moisture

It has a pearly glow
So when I use it, my face looks radiant
It's not artificial and I really like it
It's an essence with just the right amount of oil

Honestly, apart from being expensive, there doesn't seem to be any other downside..

The whitening essence has the downside of being dry, but this one has quite good moisturizing power and the application is not sticky at all, it's really good. Even though I haven't used it for a long time as a whitening functional essence, my skin has become brighter.

The volume is too small. I wish the texture was a bit more dense and creamy.

I switched from using Sulwhasoo and I really like how soft and smooth it feels. The scent is also pretty nice, and I bought the Chuseok special set so the price wasn't too bad either.

It's too expensive. It's good, but continuing to use it is a bit of a burden.

When applied, my skin quickly becomes moisturized and it feels so good.

There's nothing disappointing, but if I had to find something, it would be that the product is a whitening one, so it lacks moisture. You'll need to supplement the moisture with other products. Haha.

When applied, your complexion will become radiant within a short period. It's not that your face itself is glowing, but rather the light is emanating from within your skin. Like a pearl! If you really apply it consistently, even I will be surprised when I look in the mirror, thinking 'Can my face really glow like this?'.

The only downside is that the amount is a bit small, if that's a concern.
The essence is a bit pricey, though.

I've been using it for a week and it's so great.
The whitening series gradually brightens my complexion,
and it seems to have significantly reduced dryness.
