I tried to use it at least once a day for two weeks. 1. Absorption: It has a thin essence-like texture that absorbs well. It glides on smoothly and easily. 2. Scent: There's no particularly strong fragrance, just a subtle herbal scent. It's unlikely to be polarizing. 3. Brightening: While there isn't an immediate brightening effect (see review photos), after consistent use for two weeks, it seems to have improved my overall complexion. However, for dark spots and blemishes, the effect is limited.
Cons1. Hydration: Since it's a thin essence rather than a rich one, the hydration level is somewhat lacking. 2. Quantity: The 150ml bottle likely won't last a full month. At 18,000 won for 150ml, it's over 1,000 won per 10ml, which isn't very cost-effective.

The effects are particularly noticeable when I use it at night and wake up in the morning. I applied it twice daily, morning and evening, right after my toner following cleansing. Although I've been using it for just under two weeks, with consistent use, I felt it performed well despite the summer weather. Personally, it suited my skin - I didn't experience any redness or new blemishes. Even though I have super sensitive skin, I found this functional product to be gentle. I used it alongside the Dokdo toner and emulsion. All being mild products, I didn't feel any incompatibility or issues when using them together. I've also been applying Noscarna for previous blemishes, and I haven't noticed any problems with using both products.
ConsImmediately after application, it felt a bit drying. So I started applying toner first, followed by the ampoule, and then layered the emulsion on top. Adding the emulsion definitely helped avoid the dryness. Another point to note, rather than a drawback - for those with naturally darker skin tones like mine, you might not see dramatic results compared to your original complexion. Just something to keep in mind.
TipIt's only been two weeks, and it's summer, so it's hard to say if I'll see more pronounced effects. However, I expect to see more dramatic results with continued use. I recommend this product!

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's actually good. Before receiving this product, I was using Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Serum, which seemed to have better brightening effects.
ConsSince I started using this, I've noticed two or three blemishes appearing on my skin. It might not be suitable for all skin types. Also, it feels extremely drying. I applied only the serum before my makeup, but it was so drying that I had to remove everything and start over. The amount of product also seems a bit small.

The texture is quite fluid, so it tends to run if applied directly to the face. A line squeezed on the forehead will trickle down to the nose! However, I loved how it turns slightly white when massaged in, then quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it firm and soft! Patting it in also resulted in great absorption. My skin is oily on the T-zone and butterfly zone, normal on the cheeks, and slightly dry on the chin. This serum felt more hydrating than oily on my skin. The finish is like a perfect blend of a soothing gel and a light cream - not overly sticky, but pleasantly firm and soft. It seemed to enhance the absorption of cream applied afterwards. Though I lean towards oily skin, I found this serum alone slightly drying in this weather. Those with very oily skin might find it perfect for summer use on its own! My skin tends to react with redness and itchy bumps to harsh products or incompatible ingredients, but this felt gentle! No blemishes appeared, and my skin felt comfortable, making for a pleasant user experience. I expected it to be unscented, but there's a subtle green tea-like fragrance. Just FYI! While it didn't dramatically whiten my skin, it did make my complexion look clearer! My skin appeared more pristine and bright than usual. I typically prefer gentle products over intensive treatments, so I appreciated that this was both mild and effective in brightening my skin.
ConsFor those with extremely dry skin, I absolutely recommend layering another cream on top! While I enjoyed the fresh finish, even I, with oily skin, felt it was slightly drying. Personally, I found the quantity a bit lacking. Given its fluid texture, I often applied two layers for better effect. This morning, this is how much is left (I used it generously for accurate results, please note). I typically used 2 pumps in the morning and 2-3 in the evening. Others might find 1-2 pumps sufficient. With more conservative use, it could last about a month and a half.

I have dry skin!! In summer, I sweat a lot and dislike feeling stuffy, so I prefer minimal makeup. The same goes for skincare. I was lucky enough to win this product, and I'm amazed at how quickly it absorbs - you can't even tell I've applied anything! The texture is a slightly viscous water-type. I love that I can layer it multiple times without my skin feeling suffocated!! To test it at night, I cleansed with toner and applied only the La Roche-Posay ampoule serum. While I felt some deep dryness, my skin looked noticeably smoother. I wasn't expecting intense hydration from an ampoule serum, so I was quite satisfied. As for brightening effects, it's not something you notice in the short term, so I think I'll need to use the whole bottle to see subtle changes. It has a lovely texture that's perfect for light summer use.
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit dehydrating. You definitely need to follow up with a cream. While it claims to be moisturizing, that's only when you first apply it. Once it absorbs, you can feel some deep dryness, which is disappointing.
TipIt's best to apply small amounts in two or three layers. Because it absorbs so quickly, layering doesn't make your skin feel heavy. I applied it twice during the day and three times at night.

I've used this product every single day for two weeks after receiving it!! The texture is fluid like water, and when you massage it in with your hands, it turns slightly white and then absorbs completely as you pat it in. While it didn't have a dramatic effect on eliminating blemishes: ✔️My skin became brighter overall I already have fair skin, but it became clearer, if that makes sense? There's potential for complexion improvement ✔️The lightweight texture makes it easy to apply It's not heavy and absorbs quickly after toner A fresh texture that shouldn't be polarizing ✔️I love that the container is glass Being non-plastic, it's less sensitive to temperature changes and looks luxurious ✔️It didn't cause any blemishes My mother and sister also tried this brightening product and didn't experience any major sensitivity I'm actually considering repurchasing it
ConsThere weren't any major disappointments! BUT ✔️15ml for 18,000 won The volume is too small for the price.. I used up an entire bottle of serum in two weeks ㅠㅠ.. It might be a bit burdensome price-wise ✔️There's almost no moisturizing effect You definitely need to apply another ampoule or essence after this product, as this serum alone isn't enough for hydration
TipI applied it generously in the evening. I've heard that brightening products don't work well with sunlight, so I applied it right before bed and patted it in to absorb. Also, I found it more effective to apply before using a regular sheet mask or rubber mask. I noticed better results when I applied an extra layer under the eyes, around the philtrum, and other areas needing complexion improvement. Just a little tip!

My skin type: Combination skin with an oily T-zone (nose and forehead) and dry cheeks. Unfortunately, this serum really didn't work for my skin... After cleansing, I always used my exfoliating toner pads to wipe my face before applying the serum.
ConsI tried it for about 3 days, but it clearly wasn't right for my skin, so I had to stop using it. 1. It stung! It was too irritating for my skin. 2. It was so drying that I absolutely had to apply a cream on top. Moisturizer was a must! 3. From day one, I started getting small blemishes, and by the third day, it got even worse. 4. Right after application, it felt heavy and sticky. Then, just when I thought it had absorbed, my face became extremely dry. 5. As for the brightening effect... I couldn't really tell. All I got was a bunch of blemishes. I wanted to keep trying, but the blemishes kept getting worse. So I washed off all the serum I had applied and went back to my usual hydrating, soothing cream and blemish spot treatment. Oh, my poor skin... +(June 9th update) After stopping use and continuing with my regular skincare routine, almost all the blemishes have cleared up now. I guess it really didn't suit my skin at all... Once I stopped using it and took care of my skin for a bit, everything went back to normal.
