  Pros

  I have combination skin - oily in the summer and dry in the winter. It applies smoothly and spreads evenly! I use it by soaking a cotton pad, and the watery texture allows it to be applied gently without irritation. Absorption is quick, especially in the dry winter. It's moisturizing enough for my skin to feel comfortable. I think this would work well for most skin types, except for the oily areas in summer.

  Cons

  My skin is oily in the summer. No matter what I use, it just frustrates me... So I can't use this during the summer either. It's not the product's fault, it's just my skin type. Other than that, I don't have any complaints!

  Tip

  I use it by soaking a cotton pad and applying it as the first step after cleansing in spring, fall, and winter.

  Pros

  Unlike the runny texture, the formula becomes lightweight and watery when applied to the skin, providing a refreshing and hydrating experience. I usually use the 7-skin method with watery toners, and this product works well for that too, as the texture is almost like water. I apply it 3 times, and even with repeated application, the product doesn't get used up quickly. After absorption, my skin is left with a smooth and moisturized feel.

  Cons

  We all know that Clinique does not use fragrance, but this product has a rather distinctive scent. It's not overpowering, but there's a hint of plastic, urban, and slightly stale odor. If you're sensitive to fragrances, this might not be the best option for you, as it's not truly fragrance-free, despite being labeled as such.

  Tip

  I also tried the moisturizer from the same line, but I found the hydrating properties to be somewhat lacking. This serum seems to be great for replenishing moisture, but it doesn't seem to be effective for managing dead skin cells. Before using this product, I recommend using an exfoliating toner first, and then applying this serum in multiple layers. This should work well during the summer, but for the winter, I've been layering the Skinfood Watery Berry Cream over this serum, as it provides more hydration and better long-lasting effects. I find that it stays on my skin even the next day after application. I suggest using an exfoliating toner before applying this serum for the best results. I personally use the COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad.

  Pros

  I bought an alcohol-based skin toner, but it didn't really suit me. Then I tried the sample I had received, and I liked it so much that I ended up purchasing it! My skin tone has become much smoother, and it's gradually becoming more even. It's not irritating at all, and the slightly sticky texture of the toner leaves my skin feeling moisturized for a long time, which I really like.

  Cons

  It's fine for me, but... Those who don't like the slightly sticky texture might not enjoy it. Ah... it's a bit more expensive than that 'soju skin' (?) toner.

  OK
  Pros

  My complexion has become brighter and my skin texture has become smoother. It has a slightly viscous, watery formula. It quenches my skin with moisture without any stickiness, making it perfect for someone like me who dislikes that tacky feeling. Even though I have sensitive skin and usually experience irritation when using other fermented products, this one was fine.

  Cons

  It takes a bit longer to absorb, so I have to pat it in more. After continued use, the effects aren't as good as before, so I'll give it one less star.

  Tip

  Apply it to your palm after cleansing, when your skin still has a bit of moisture.
