The generous amount is a plus. As expected from a brightening moisturizer, it has the advantage of improving your complexion. First off, the formula doesn't absorb well into the skin. Even though I'm thorough with my toner application to help with absorption, it still doesn't sink in. Instead, it pills on the skin, making for an unattractive finish. You'll need to really work it in with a puff, and then immediately apply foundation for coverage! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinJun 21, 2023
It really brightens up my complexion. I love that I can just apply this without makeup and it evens my skin tone, so I don't look sickly. My skin has a lot of dark spots and blemishes with a dull complexion. While it does brighten, it looks patchy, and I feel a lot of deep dryness because it's quite dehydrating. It seems like it would definitely work well for skin without blemishes. - Hwahae UserDry SkinFeb 3, 2023
It brightens my skin so much when I apply it. I absolutely love it! I keep thinking I made such a great decision buying this. There's a bit of pilling, and the staying power doesn't seem to be that great. But aside from these issues, everything else is good. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 10, 2022
I love this famous Cosrx brightening moisturizer! It instantly illuminates my face when applied. Unfortunately, it tends to settle into pores. There's also a slight white cast that's noticeable. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 23, 2022
The brightening moisturizer really seems to work for evening out skin tone and it feels quite hydrating It tends to pill more easily than expected, so you'll need to be careful with how much you apply - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSep 4, 2022
It spreads thinly and evenly, brightening the skin with decent staying power. Best of all, it gives a natural brightening effect - really great! Controlling the amount is crucial. I applied it thinly using my fingers. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 17, 2022
Color: It really brightens up your complexion. I wanted a noticeable brightening effect, so I'm satisfied with how much it lightens the skin. It doesn't look cakey or unnatural, but blends in seamlessly. Texture: Like most brightening moisturizers, it has a slightly hydrating cream texture that's easy to apply. Ingredients: The formula is better than many other brightening moisturizers. Usually, using just a tone-up cream would wreak havoc on my skin, but this one's gentle enough that I could wear it on bare skin. I'd get the occasional pimple or two, but nothing unmanageable. (The mask-wearing probably didn't help with clogged pores either) Price: As a frequent user of brightening moisturizers, I think the price is quite reasonable for the amount you get. Longevity: I applied it on my arms and legs, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't last more than a few hours there. On the face, when worn alone, it doesn't disappear immediately but don't expect it to last as long as foundation. At most, it might last about 4 hours, less if it's hot. The good news is that it fades evenly, so you can easily reapply. Blemishes: My skin tends to get super oily and break out with any brightening moisturizer or sunscreen, and this was no exception. That's why I mostly used it on my arms and legs. Your mileage may vary. Pilling: If there's any product buildup in one area, it can pill when you're applying, so you need to be careful. Compared to other brightening moisturizers I've tried, this one tends to pill a bit more. Overall: Considering the price, amount, texture, and brightening effect, it's a decent product. It doesn't pill when used in combination with a more fluid brightening moisturizer. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinMar 16, 2022
I've been using this product for several months now, and I must say the ingredients seem quite gentle. Honestly, when you apply it, the texture feels a bit raw, but surprisingly, it's very mild on the skin. I personally love products that provide a noticeable brightening effect, and this one really delivers - it makes your skin look incredibly fair! I apply this before my foundation, and it helps with the longevity of my makeup too. Just be sure to apply it to your neck as well, or you'll definitely notice a difference between your face and neck! The formula tends to emphasize dead skin cells quite a bit. If you apply it when you have visible flakes, you might feel devastated like I did, similar to what other reviewers mentioned. It works wonderfully when your skin is in good condition, but it doesn't necessarily make your skin look pretty. It's more like... how should I put it... it feels almost like applying paint to your face. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinSep 7, 2021
I loved how it naturally brightened my complexion. It absorbs well without pilling. The absorption was excellent. The staying power is a bit weak. However, I appreciated that I didn't need to wash it off and could apply it like an emulsion. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinApr 11, 2021
The brightening effect is excellent! You should wait at least 10 minutes after application to see the full effect. Initially, I was surprised by how white it looked, but after some time, it adjusted to my complexion, giving a radiant, evened-out skin tone. It can be a bit drying, and there's some pilling in the pores. I found mixing it half-and-half with sunscreen works perfectly. I've been using it this way with good results. In winter, I mix it with a hydrating moisturizer, and in other seasons, I blend it with sunscreen. It works great! Since it doesn't spread easily on its own, I recommend mixing it with a product that has a softer texture for better application.
