I bought it based on vague positive reviews without knowing exactly what it would do, but my skin texture has truly improved.
ConsThere aren't any. If I had to mention something, it might be that the container is a bit heavy, but that's okay since it helps prevent the product from spoiling easily.

It has a soothing effect on the skin. I love using it with the included cotton pads. It absorbs well into the skin. Surprisingly, I haven't had any small blemishes since I started using this. It's great for controlling sebum and oil. The acid ingredients might feel a bit tingly at first, but it's not constant and becomes unnoticeable after 3 days. Checking the ingredients on the Hwahae app, I learned that the tingling is from salicylic acid and lemon, which help control oily skin. I'm very satisfied with how it regulates oil and I'm using it well. I've never experienced this level of control with other products. This is why Hwahae is great for revealing ingredients! Thanks to that, I use it with peace of mind. I knew fermented cosmetics were good, but department store prices are brutal. I couldn't use toners that need to be applied generously, but now I think I'll stick with First Serum. I'll definitely repurchase. Even though it's a drugstore product, I like that it comes in a glass bottle. Knowing that plastic containers aren't stable for cosmetics, I appreciate the glass packaging.
ConsFollowing the facial contours with cotton pads and then gently pressing to absorb slowly is difficult for my impatient personality, haha! Honestly, for brightening effects, going to a dermatologist seems more effective than any cosmetic product, lol! Without the salicylic acid and lemon ingredients, this product might be disappointing. I used to use Manyo Factory's Galactomy Niacin Essence Mask, which had a tingly sensation but noticeably controlled sebum and improved skin texture. I used it once a week despite its 5,000 won price tag because it was so effective. But now, they've changed the packaging design, sheet, and ingredients (some were removed), so I can't expect the same effects I experienced before. Now that First Serum is the only product left, please don't change the formula! Keep it as it is... please!
TipUsing First Serum followed by the Gentle Moisture Cream or Black Pomegranate Cream worked perfectly for me. After applying it to my face, I use the leftover on the cotton pad to gently moisturize my hands or heels.

Now I'm back to using this one. I've gone through at least 4 bottles already. I'm using the 'Light' version because I don't like greasy or sticky textures. It definitely improves my skin texture.
ConsUnfortunately, it's become a bit more difficult to purchase through the Skinfood app or online.

Dead skin cell removal: This is the main feature promoted by the Black Sugar line. It's more like calming the skin rather than removing dead skin cells. 2. Skin absorption: When used, it definitely helps other skincare products absorb better. 3. Scent: Although less fragrant than the Light version I used before, it still has a subtle aroma of rice wine and a hint of sugar. 4. Skin texture improvement: It works quite well. When using this alone, you might wonder, 'How is this effective for dead skin cells?' But you'll notice the difference when you stop using it.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be that the scent is less noticeable than the original Light version. Though it's still better than the completely unscented Mild version.
