  Pros

  My skin has become smoother and I'm definitely getting fewer blemishes!

  Cons

  For some reason, when I apply too much, my skin feels a bit tingly and itchy. I couldn't find it locally, so I ordered it from overseas. While the product itself is affordable, the shipping was quite expensive. Delivery also took almost a month, haha!

  Tip

  After toner, I apply this cream and finish with an emulsion or moisturizer depending on my skin's condition. It effectively tackles deep dryness, and even when I don't have any blemishes, my skin texture becomes softer the next day!

  Pros

  First off, my skin type is combination with frequent acne breakouts, but now that I've found products that work well for me, it's almost normal with occasional blemishes. Effectiveness: Using it once a day, I noticed a reduction in dark spots within a week, and my skin texture became smoother and more refined. With continued use, the brightening effect exceeded my expectations. Acne care: Surprisingly, it seems to work well on acne too. When I feel a pimple coming on, I apply this, and it usually calms down within a day or two. Ingredients: While everyone has different standards for ingredients, I'm satisfied with this formulation. It's quite a simple formula, and I feel reassured by the absence of fragrances, colorants, and essential oils. Value for money: Although the quantity isn't huge, the price is reasonable, making it affordable for regular use. It's a shame that it needs to be shipped from overseas to Korea.

  Cons

  Texture: The texture is quite unique. It looks like a regular cream, but when applied, it feels like solidified oil with poor spreadability, and strangely lacks both oiliness and hydration. To exaggerate a bit, it's almost like applying glue. It absorbs quickly, but it feels more like it's drying on top of the skin rather than being absorbed. Fortunately, mixing it with other serums makes it easy to use without issues.

  Tip

  Personally, I didn't experience any irritation, but if you have super sensitive skin, it might be better to mix it with another cream. Mixing also improves its spreadability. In conclusion, while I'm not a fan of the texture, the value for money, ingredients, and effectiveness are all excellent. I recommend it for all skin types, especially for those concerned with dark spots and blemishes.
