  Pros

  I've been using this with niacinamide for about 3 months because I heard they have great synergy together. The redness in my skin has significantly reduced, and the brightening effect is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it, it's truly fantastic!

  Cons

  There 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!

  Tip

  Well, 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.

  Pros

  I achieved actual brightening and anti-inflammatory effects when using this product alongside others recommended by the company (like those containing niacinamide). My blemishes visibly faded and my complexion became brighter. The formula was richer than expected, providing a decent level of hydration.

  Cons

  The 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.

  Tip

  I recommend building a skincare routine with the suggested products.
