AC 화이트닝 젤

💧Since it's prone to drying out, be sure to use it together with a moisturizer!

😤The whitening effect is so-so...
While this product is marketed as a whitening product, after finishing the whole bottle... I didn't really notice any tone change! If you're purchasing this with whitening as your main goal, you may be disappointed.

😬It dries out too quickly
When I only use this product, it dries out quickly, so I had to use it together with a moisturizer. The formula itself is completely oil-free, so even if you apply multiple layers, you can still feel it drying out quickly.

😃It's great for soothing troubles.
Before using it, I had a lot of acne breakouts and my skin was extremely sensitive, but by the time I finished the whole bottle, most of it had disappeared. I also changed my entire cosmetic line to trouble-care products, but I felt my sensitive skin recovering while using this product.

😁It worked well for my sensitive skin.
I have combination sensitive skin, and if something stings or itches, I immediately stop using it, but I never experienced that with this product, so I was able to use the whole bottle!

😁Lightweight and smooth application
It's a gel product, but the texture is almost like a toner. So I used this product instead of a toner in my basic skincare routine. The application is very thin and absorbs quickly, so it doesn't feel heavy even if you apply a couple of layers.

I didn't have any trouble at all. The skin-like texture made me feel dry right away, so I had to apply another product immediately after applying it.

And as it's a whitening product, I always have high expectations. Hmm.. I didn't really feel like it brightened my skin. But the texture itself wasn't heavy or anything, so even though it was a hassle, I applied a second skin toner after.

What I felt was the worst part was that the alcohol scent was so strong that I had to hold my breath and apply it. I couldn't breathe through my nose, and if I breathed through my mouth, I was worried it would be bad for my respiratory system, so I held my breath while applying it.

First of all, I am a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I thought the gel would have a gel-like texture, but it came out like water, just like a skin toner. So when I squeezed it at first, a lot came out, and I was surprised.

The texture is like a skin toner, so there was no burden. It applies lightly and absorbs incredibly fast. It seems to have more moisture than oil, but as a combination skin type, I felt a bit of dryness, so I had to apply another product right away.

The best part was that it wasn't heavy. It applied lightly enough to be absorbed right into the skin. So I patted it in like a skin toner, and then immediately applied an ampoule.

If your face and neck are different shades, apply it to your neck as well. It helps to even out the skin tone.

I had a lot of acne scars and was hoping they would disappear, but the product didn't have any effect. The scars will need to be treated at a dermatologist. However, the brightening effect makes the scars more noticeable, which is a downside.

The texture feels more like a serum than a gel. After applying, it absorbs well and the feeling is similar to applying a lotion. I've used about half of it, and my face feels more radiant rather than just becoming whiter.

Apply this skin product in the order of toner, lotion, and cream.

I'm not sure about pores or whitening... I couldn't achieve the original purpose.

When I apply this, no more acne!!!!!! 
It's been 3 weeks and no more acne!!!!!
I always had one or two on my face, but no more!!!!
Milia may appear a bit when my condition is not good, but who cares!?!

I've been applying it consistently, but my acne is still the same...My skin hasn't brightened either.....It seems to have no effect at all......

It's lightweight and absorbs quickly. There are no other notable benefits besides this.

I purchase it through Hwahae Trial Reviewer.
When I have breakouts, using it together with the DHC blotting lotion helps soothe the breakouts even better.

After applying it, there is a slight tightness to the skin. In my personal experience, it feels a bit like a dried egg white mask. That's why I deducted one star.

I have combination skin and sometimes when my condition is not good, breakouts tend to appear mainly on my cheeks. When breakouts occur, my cheeks get very itchy, but after applying this, the itchiness is significantly reduced. So while I don't use it regularly, I always keep it on hand as a standby product.

It would be best to use this product like a skin toner and follow up with a moisturizer for optimal results.

The alcohol content seems to be on the higher side, as the alcohol smell is quite pungent. It requires holding one's breath while applying. It may be difficult to use this product alone, even for oily skin types. After absorption, the face feels extremely taut, both on the surface and underneath. Additionally, the packaging sizes of DHC products tend to be quite miniature, with the samples being more generous in volume. However, the price-to-quantity ratio is not necessarily favorable. There is also some pilling observed, especially when applied in excess, leaving a powdery residue on the face.

The texture is a bit thinner than a gel, with a skin-like feel. It has good spreadability and a refreshing sensation. It has a suitable finish for oily skin. There is no residue left behind, and it feels powdery soft. The product description mentions that it has acne management and whitening functionalities, and it truly delivers on those claims. Applying it visibly reduces breakouts, and the complexion appears brighter.

I used it together with the vitamin C essence for two months, only at night.
I applied it very generously, but there was absolutely no whitening effect.
Cosmetics really are hit or miss, huh.

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. 
I used it together with the vitamin C essence, but it didn't do anything. 
There's a lot of product. I applied it generously, haha.

There's a vitamin C water-like product that comes in a tube from the same DHC brand. I think using that together with this product helped me see the effects.

Hmm.. It's a bit inconvenient to apply, and also inconvenient to purchase.
I'm not sure how it's sold these days, but the case has been renewed, I heard. Since I used it a long time ago, it didn't improve my skin instantly after application. It takes some time to see the effects.

When my acne kept appearing and disappearing in the same spot on my chin, leaving reddish marks on my skin, I used this product without much thought and emptied a whole bottle. To my surprise, my skin suddenly became brighter at some point. It turned out better than I expected.
It was quite uneventful.

There's not really anything disappointing, but I wish the volume was a bit larger.

Due to skin troubles, I couldn't even use skin lotion or do any makeup, but after using this, it got a lot better. My skin tone brightened and my troubles decreased.
