When applied, it makes the skin feel slightly smoother. It was challenging to find the right amount, but once you get used to the scent and texture, it's manageable to apply. Despite having sensitive skin, I don't think this product ever caused any blemishes. The size was good for trying it out without committing to a large amount, and the price wasn't too high, making it easy to give it a shot. The brand's image of 'using only necessary ingredients' really resonated with me. (It's been over 6 months since I bought it, so I don't remember the exact wording, but that was the general idea)
ConsI have dry skin... and this product is drying... I didn't buy the essence(?) that's supposed to create a synergy effect when used together, so when my skin was dry, I absolutely couldn't use this. Nowadays, I've learned that it works better in combination with moisturizing emulsions or essences, so I'm using it without getting too dry. I bought this product after hearing it helps with scars and minor skin issues, but after using it for over 6 months, I'm not sure what's good about it... It's not particularly bad, but the scent is strong and it's drying, so I wonder if I really need to use this product... As mentioned earlier, the scent is strong... I'd never smelled magnesium before, so it took about 3 months to get used to it lol. Even now when I use it, I still think 'the scent is a bit much...' Rather than having a calming effect on the skin, it's closer to helping fade existing scars, so it was better not to apply it when my skin condition was really bad.
TipEspecially for those with dry skin! Before using this product, please use a moisturizing product first. Whether it's an emulsion or essence, it doesn't matter, but products that are only moisturizing when applied and dry out quickly won't help much. Apply a product that retains moisture well first, then apply this to avoid dryness.

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.

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!

There's something satisfying and trustworthy about the word 'magnesium'...
ConsThe smell is absolutely awful, it's nauseating. And it gave me blemishes, lol!
TipFor best results, use in this order: niacinamide, magnesium, then buffet

The product contains ingredients effective for brightening, and I really appreciate that it comes in an opaque tube container, which is ideal for protecting the formula from light and air exposure.
ConsThe scent is overpowering. I bought it for its brightening effects, but I'm not sure if it's working. When I layer another cream on top, it tends to pill.
