ConsThe scent is quite strong. People sensitive to smells might have mixed reactions, and the absorption could also be hit or miss for some.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any results.
ConsFirst off, I was disappointed by the scent. It was also uncomfortable to use as it pilled like dead skin cells. Most importantly, I'm not sure if it had any effect at all. I used it almost to the end, but now I've stopped using it completely.

I heard it works well with niacinamide, so I tried using both together, but I didn't see any significant results.
ConsThe smell... I really can't use it because of the scent. I wasn't expecting a pleasant fragrance, but if it were at least unscented, I would have used it consistently despite feeling it was a waste. Also, I'm not sure about how well it absorbs. It feels like it just sits on the skin. I don't think I'll buy it again...

The redness in my skin has significantly reduced, and the brightening effect is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it, it's truly fantastic!
ConsThere are three downsides I can point out. First, the smell. It doesn't bother me, but this product has a rather strong scent. Second, it pills a bit with niacinamide ampoule. Again, it doesn't bother me much, but when I use the niacinamide ampoule followed by this product, there's some pilling. However, if you use just an exfoliating toner and this product, there's no pilling. Third, product residue tends to build up and harden around the container's opening. It's a bit annoying as you need to clean it frequently with a tissue or wet wipe. Despite these issues, the incredible brightening effect makes up for everything!
TipWell, this is actually a cream with slightly less hydration. So I only used it in the evenings, mixing in 1-2 drops of tamanu oil. Since this product already has a somewhat damp smell, I just went ahead and used the tamanu oil with it.

What I loved most is that even with just this applied, my face gets a glow. That's not the main reason I use it, but seeing my face glow makes me want to apply it every time.
ConsThe scent is overwhelmingly strong... At first, among the several The Ordinary products I bought, I used everything except this. But once when I only had this with me outside and used it, I noticed the glow. Since then, I've been using it, ignoring the smell.
TipIf you layer other products on top of this, it tends to pill a bit.

I've been using it together with The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum as they're said to have a synergistic effect. While I'm not sure if it just feels good because of the price point, my face does look brighter! The Ordinary is truly great value for money.
Cons1. It's yellow! Be careful not to get it on your clothes or bedding! 2. The smell is really... really awful. Compared to the legendary iHerb carrot oil, this is just kindergarten-level stink. The scent definitely doesn't improve your mood while applying. Skincare should be somewhat enjoyable, but with this, you're constantly thinking 'I'm only using this for my skin...' 3. It's hard to tell if it's absorbing well or not. You'll find it's all soaked in later, but the process is quite slow. Additional review after finishing the product: It pills up and comes off yellowish like dead skin cells, so you can't use it before makeup. Also, possibly due to the ingredients, it stung on days when my skin was sensitive! Those with sensitive skin might find it challenging to use. While using it consistently, I changed my skincare routine midway, and my skin started burning, possibly due to ingredient conflicts. Please check for any conflicting ingredients before use!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using this with The Ordinary's Niacinamide in my evening routine, and it's definitely helping to reduce redness. It works hard to even out my skin tone!
ConsThere are more drawbacks than I expected. First, the scent is stronger than anticipated - it's quite potent when applying, though it settles down afterwards. Also, it's not very smooth and tends to pill. It seems only suitable for a nighttime routine as it's extremely thick and doesn't absorb well.
TipAdding about 3 drops of camellia or jojoba oil helps it spread more easily and improves the absorption!

My blemishes visibly faded and my complexion became brighter. The formula was richer than expected, providing a decent level of hydration.
ConsThe scent might be unfamiliar, but it shouldn't be an issue for those who aren't sensitive to fragrances. Product residue tends to accumulate and harden around the opening over time, which can lead to waste and inconvenience during use. The absorption isn't the best, so it may pill. I'd suggest patting it in gently and avoiding applying too much or over large areas. Those with super sensitive skin should exercise caution when using this product.
TipI recommend building a skincare routine with the suggested products.

Just a tiny bit..
Cons- Texture, feel, and scent I consider myself someone who doesn't fuss about the feel if it's good for my skin... but this one is really not great. It's not terribly off-putting, but... it's thick, doesn't absorb well, and the fragrance isn't great either, so I really don't feel like using it. It also pills a lot.

While I haven't seen any major effects yet, I think my acne scars have faded a bit!
ConsThe scent is really off-putting, and after using it just a few times, it feels like there's hardly any left! I was shocked by how small the size was - much smaller than I expected.
