Pros

It seems great for brightening up my hands. I have darker skin on my hands, but applying this makes them look lighter and more even-toned.

Cons

It's quite expensive, and the ingredients aren't great. Plus, it causes a tingling sensation on my face when I apply it, which is uncomfortable.

Pros

This serum applies a bit more richly and weightily compared to the same line's skin. It definitely has good moisturizing power, and since it's a vitamin product, my skin feels like it's becoming more transparent the more I use it consistently. Of course, since serums have a higher price range, it's best to purchase it when it's on sale.

Cons

Those with dry skin may feel that this alone is not enough for moisture. Be sure to apply a cream after using this product to replenish the moisture. Otherwise, your skin will feel dry.

Pros

A few years ago, I had severe acne and afterwards developed severe scarring. I underwent Fraxel treatment twice and used countless creams and serums to help with skin regeneration, but nothing seemed to work, and I was at my wit's end. Then I learned that vitamin C is good for scars, and I happened to come across this product at a Tonymoly shop. I didn't have high expectations, but within just a few days, my scars started fading and my skin noticeably improved, to the point that people could tell. I was so sad when it was discontinued (such a great product!), but I'm glad to have found that it's being sold online again, and I recently repurchased it. Another great thing is that while vitamin C can be tricky for sensitive skin, this line is very gentle and doesn't irritate at all, unlike some other vitamin C products I've tried.

Cons

The only downside is that the size is a bit small for the price. But considering that functional vitamin C cosmetics are usually expensive, I think it's still a reasonable price. It used to be sold offline, but now it's only available at the Tonymoly online shop. When it was sold offline, they had frequent sales, so I was able to buy it at a good price during those sale periods...

Pros

💙Subjective Recommendation Type: Neutral, Dry, Combination (Dry in Summer!)💙 1. Good Fragrance -The serum seems to have a refreshing, citrusy scent, likely due to the vitamins it contains. Those who enjoy citrus fragrances will probably love it, and it's a scent that most people won't dislike. 2. Fresh Texture -When pumped, the texture feels slightly more viscous than an essence, but it absorbs smoothly without any stickiness after application, leaving a refreshing feel. This would be a great option for those with oily skin. 3. Brightens Complexion with Consistent Use -I'm usually skeptical of vitamin skincare products, but after consistently using this as a gift, I noticed my complexion looking more refined. Dramatic effects shouldn't be expected, and for that, professional clinic treatments would be more appropriate. Considering the volume, functionality, efficacy, and price, I think this is a decent product. (I wish there was a 3.5-star rating option! It's not quite a 4-star, but I'd like to give it around 3.5 stars.)

Cons

1. Lack of Moisture and Hydration -As mentioned in the recommendation type, this would be severely lacking in moisture and hydration for dry skin types, making it unsuitable for me to use in the winter. Layering it three times might work, but that would be a waste of product. This would be better suited for dry skin types in the summer, when it can provide a refreshing feel. 2. Pump Issues -Even with about a third of the product remaining, the pump started becoming difficult to use. While it still dispenses when manually pressed, it's an inconvenience. Improvement in this area would be appreciated. 3. Lack of Distinct Features -While this is a vitamin serum and provides some benefits with long-term use, it doesn't have any particularly strong or distinctive features compared to other popular essences. It's a fairly standard essence.

Tip

🧡For those with dry skin, using this vitamin serum along with your regular skin and cream in the summer can provide a refreshing, balanced routine. For those with oily skin, this can be a great option even in the winter.🧡

Pros

The scent was pleasantly refreshing, as described by the 'vitamin serum' name. It applied lightly and absorbed quickly. It's a cream formula, not a water-based one, and it doesn't slide off when applied before makeup, which is great!

Cons

I wouldn't recommend it for winter use... It's way too lightweight 😢 It might be good for oily skin types, but for someone like me with dehydrated oily skin or dry skin, I think it would feel extremely drying.

Pros

The moisturizing cream+ radiance serum is quite hydrating, even in the spring, summer, and fall seasons, without the need for a separate moisturizing cream. The formula is similar to mixing an essence and a moisturizing cream. When applied, the skin becomes brighter and more hydrated, which is why I like using this product.

Cons

In late fall when it's dry, I now apply one layer and then apply another layer after 5 minutes. Since it's a serum-type with little oil content, I also need to apply a cream when it's dry.

Tip

This Vita line has a toner, serum, cream, and eye cream. There is no separate lotion. For oily to normal skin types, you can skip the lotion after the toner and just apply this serum. For dry skin,

Pros

The texture is like a watery moisturizer. I like that it doesn't have much oil. When applied, my face feels slightly refreshed and it spreads well. It absorbs quickly and is well-absorbed. After absorption, it feels like a thin film is left on the face, lightly tightening the skin.

Cons

After application, the thin film-like layer makes me feel like the next step of my routine doesn't absorb well. I think makeup would not apply smoothly over this, so it might be difficult to use in the morning.

Pros

The texture is thick and opaque, like a jelly. It absorbs well into the skin and pairs nicely with the toner from the same line. As it's part of the vitamin line, it has a subtle tangy scent that is not overbearing. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to use a vitamin-based skincare routine.

Cons

I used it by pumping it two or three times, but it seems the moisturizing power is a bit weak, which is disappointing. I like that it absorbs quickly, but the dewy finish only lasts about 10% and then it becomes a bit dry and powdery.

Tip

For those who want a richer finish, I suggest applying the toner, this product, and then a cream on top as an additional layer.

Pros

Applying the Vita skin and serum like this in the summer seems like a good idea. The scent is nice, and it doesn't seem too oily. It seems to brighten my skin! After applying, it feels so smooth and soft. The application is really nice and smooth too.

Cons

There's nothing really bad about it...Just buy it when it's on sale!!I use it quite often.

Tip

I first use the Vita peeling pads, and then apply the skin and serum like this!
