I didn't even realize I'd won and thought it was delivered by mistake, haha! Here's my honest review. First, let me describe my skin type and condition: ◇ Very dark complexion - Around shade 25-26 ◇ Lacks vitality ◇ Quite dull ✔ Hydration ✔ This aspect was so much more satisfying than expected! Usually, it's hard to expect hydration from brightening products, but this one completely changed my mind. I started using it when I ran out of my serums and essences, and it was perfect timing. Even though I have very dry skin, using this alone was sufficient and just right! However, it might not be enough for winter, so I'll need to supplement with other products then. ✔ Texture ✔ I thought it would be sticky, but it felt surprisingly fresh! Of course, it's not completely non-sticky due to the high moisture content, but it has just the right feel to lock in the skin's hydration without being heavy. I think it'll be perfectly suitable for summer use too! ✔ Ingredients ✔ The ingredients are definitely impressive! It contains panthenol and Centella Asiatica extract, known for their soothing properties, making it feel gentler. In addition to being mild, it has a high concentration of niacinamide, a brightening active ingredient. While many other brands don't include much, this one contains 10%, so with long-term use, it should help with brightening! ✔ Price (Value for money) ✔ It's incredibly affordable! It's hard to find a brightening product this inexpensive. The value for money is absolutely fantastic. At around 8,000 won, even those who wanted to try brightening products but found them too expensive can easily afford this! Some say the volume is small, but it's priced accordingly!
Cons✔ Brightening effect ✔ It doesn't noticeably brighten the skin. Looking at other reviews, many people didn't see significant results even after using several bottles. Like all brightening products, it seems consistent use is necessary. ✔ Irritation ✔ No matter how gentle it is, with 10% niacinamide, which is quite high, there's bound to be some irritation. It stings quite a bit on areas with wounds and causes a slight itching sensation. ✔ Accessibility ✔ It's a shame that it's not available in physical stores and can only be purchased online, making it less accessible. I've never seen it in my local Olive Young, though it might be available in other regions.

First off, I really liked how quickly it absorbs into the skin. As for brightening effects, I haven't noticed a significant difference yet, so I think I'll need to use it for longer. Despite having sensitive skin, I experienced fewer blemishes than expected when using this product alone. As I continued using it, I found it had some soothing effects on blemishes, which was great.
ConsBeing someone with super sensitive skin, I experienced slight itching when applying this product alone (though there was no swelling or breakouts). While other reviews mentioned seeing brightening effects in as little as a week, I didn't notice my complexion becoming brighter even after using it for almost two weeks. Also, it was a bit disappointing that due to certain ingredients not being compatible with sunlight, I had to be extra diligent in applying sunscreen when using this before makeup.
TipWhen used together with a hydrating moisturizer, there's no itching at all. It's lightweight yet provides just the right amount of hydration, which I love!
