I don't recommend using this with other potent active ingredients. I tried using it with ferulic acid, which is said to pair well with vitamin C, but my skin immediately reddened and became itchy. Since this is such a strong vitamin serum, I'd recommend just using a gentle cream to finish your routine. Personally, I found that it worked well with a cream containing panthenol. In general, I'd recommend this vitamin serum to those who respond well to vitamin-based products (not just plant-derived vitamin serums, but pure vitamin or vitamin derivative formulas).

That sugary syrup-like texture... It somehow feels like it might cause breakouts. But that feeling goes away after a few minutes.

This vitamin serum is the first to show immediate improvement in skin tone. Unlike the strange texture felt upon application, when you wake up the next day, your complexion is one shade brighter and your pores are significantly reduced. Your skin also feels perfectly smooth, as if exfoliated. The website claims visible improvements from the third day, but I could already feel the difference the very next day.

If you don't want to waste your money, don't buy it. Not buying it is the best tip.

It's a Vitamin C serum but it's ineffective. They advertise that it contains 30% ascorbic acid, but it's even less effective than the Iso* spot serum.
It's insanely sticky ㅋㅋㅋ When you wake up in the morning, all the dust sticks to your face.

There are hardly any good points. If I had to pick one, it would be that it didn't cause any trouble?

If it's the pre-renewal version, I'd recommend it, but if it's the post-renewal version, just don't buy it, haha. Spending 70,000 won on a terrible usage product is kind of a waste, so I'd recommend investing 30,000 more and getting the Drunk Elephant.

The 6-month shelf life after opening? The dropper bottle? Other than that, there's nothing else.

Since I was too sensitive to pure vitamins...even though I couldn't afford to buy the Timeless CE Ferulic, which is a me-too product, it was also flipped, and the Drunk Elephant (this was given to me by a friend who had used it) was also flipped. Vitamin C powder was a given, haha.

So I was thinking of using a derivative, but the derivative wasn't strong enough, so I didn't like it(?) and in the meantime I found the Ethyl Ascorbic Acid of DMC, haha.

First, I bought the Ordinary one, but it was based on Propanediol, so the usage was poor, so I used it once and got a refund. Then there's only Hylamide and Niod...During the time I was looking for the product (last November), they also changed the EU-friendly brands to Propanediol-based, haha omg, so I gave up.

A while ago, I remembered these products again and called the Garosu-gil store to see if they still sell the pre-renewal version, and they said they do, so I quickly bought it, haha. It seems that Niod had some stock left, as the price was a bit high.

This product is a bit oily at first, but it dries quickly. It doesn't absorb like Propanediol and feels much lighter and less greasy. The irritation is also not that strong. Really satisfied. As for their talk about zinc, selenium, superoxide network or whatever, it's just to help with antioxidants, I guess.
