However, this product has a subtle, herbal-like fragrance It's like the faint scent of tea tree or something, just brushing by Instead, it gave me a refreshing (?) feeling, so I liked it ใ ใ ใ ใ Tube-type Pump I've used tube-type serums and pump-type serums before But this is the first time I've used a container that combines the two! The pump-type dispenses the right amount per use, which was convenient And since it's tube-type, I can squeeze out every last bit at the end I think it's a great idea! ใ ใ Blemish Care I've only used it for 2 weeks, so my blemishes haven't noticeably disappeared But I did get a sense of my complexion looking brighter Texture The slightly runny texture seems suitable for absorbing at the basic step Since it's not a serum focused on nutrition or hydration This texture seems just right
ConsMoisturizing While it may not be as concentrated as a high-intensity serum, the moisture doesn't last as long. But just like other reviews, applying it 2-3 times should be much better. :)
TipHwahae, rather than a tip, haha, be sure to apply a moisturizing cream!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsOverall: A convenient brightening + blemish-improving pumping serum Packaging: Pumping container Fragrance: Cool herbal scent, subtle herb fragrance Texture: Between gel and serum Application: Applies lightly and smoothly without stickiness (like a soothing gel), not heavy even when layered, absorbs quickly Irritation: Completed low-irritation testing for sensitive skin. No irritation, but a slight cooling sensation Effects: Brightens the complexion with water-soluble vitamin ingredients! Improves blemishes/marks, brightens, and focuses on moisture supply Personal review: In this transitional season, my face easily gets dry, but this serum immediately provides vitality and hydration, so I'm satisfied every time I use it. Most essences and serums come in glass bottles with droppers, which can be a bit inconvenient, but the pumping format is easier to use. After application, there's a subtle glow and a pleasant cooling sensation - it's refreshing! There's no irritation at all, even when applying right after cleansing, so it seems very gentle. The somewhat dense texture effectively provides moisture, and in the summer, it could potentially replace a lotion. Since I don't have many blemishes to begin with and am on the fairer side, I'm not sure about the blemish-improving or whitening effects, but I definitely notice a more radiant appearance compared to before.
ConsI've been using it every evening for just over a week, and I haven't had any trouble, and I haven't found anything disappointing about using it. Hwahae products have a scent, so I thought fragrance ingredients were added, but when I checked the ingredients, there were no fragrance ingredients, yet it still has a pretty strong scent! I suspect it's because of the rosemary oil, but it's a natural herbal scent, not an artificial one, and the scent doesn't last long - it fades away as you absorb the product.
TipThere's no special tip, but it's best to apply the products in the order and with the time intervals appropriate for their formulations to ensure proper absorption. This serum has a relatively thick consistency for a serum, so it's recommended to apply it after the essence, allowing sufficient time (at least 15 seconds) for absorption. For example: Toner, Skin (over 10 seconds) -> Essence, Serum (over 15 seconds) -> Lotion (over 30 seconds) -> Cream (over 30 seconds) -> Eye cream

The lightweight, fluid formulation spreads smoothly on the skin and absorbs quickly without stickiness. โ Convenient pump packaging. More hygienic than a dropper and easy to use with one hand, making storage and application simple. โ Refreshing finish. Virtually oil-free and leaves a lightweight feel on the skin, making it suitable for morning use. โ Recommended skin type: Appears more suitable for oily and combination skin. Recommended for those who prefer a lightweight, comfortable feel.
ConsSensitive skin may potentially experience irritation. Upon first use, there was a stinging sensation due to the menthol, and for sensitive skin, a patch test is recommended prior to use. Acne breakouts occurred. After the second use, small acne bumps appeared, leading to discontinuation of use. Skin prone to blemishes requires caution. Moisturizing effects are lacking. When used alone, dryness may be experienced, so it may not be suitable for dry skin.
TipDue to rapid absorption, if dryness is felt, using it together with a moisturizing cream can complement the moisturizing power. Applying a moisturizing cream immediately after applying the serum can prevent the moisture from evaporating. The product is good to use before makeup in the morning. It has a non-greasy and lightweight finish, allowing you to use it without worrying about your makeup sliding off.

After using it, I immediately felt the whitening effect, and I felt really good while applying it. I hope my honest review is very helpful to others.
ConsThe moisturizing effect seems a bit lacking. While it absorbs quickly, there is a slight tightness, which may be a lifting effect? I applied the cream as directed. The immediate results are very good, but the longevity seems a bit disappointing. It appeared that the dark spots lightened quickly within a few days, but when I don't get enough sleep, my skin becomes darker again.
TipMaintaining whitening is difficult, so after use, I apply a collagen cream and in the morning, I can see that it looks a bit cleaner. Depending on the condition, freckles can become more pronounced, so sufficient rest is essential.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAfter washing my face, I wanted to see the moisturizing effects right away, so I only applied this product when my face was dry and tight, and I immediately noticed the moisturizing effects. The cream is not oily, it applies and absorbs smoothly, and it seems to help with inner dryness as well, which I liked. The fragrance is not too strong, which is good. The pump dispenser makes it easy to control the amount and convenient to use. It spreads smoothly and evenly when applied. Even with my sensitive skin, I was satisfied with using this product without any issues during the usage period.
ConsEach person may feel that it is sticky until the feeling absorbed when applied. Since it is a serum, I recommend applying it together when applying basic products. It seemed insufficient to maintain the moisture of dry skin throughout the day with a single product alone.

It was absorbed lightly without feeling heavy or sticky after application, allowing for easy daily use. The fast absorption rate left the skin feeling refreshed immediately after application. Despite being a serum, it provided surprisingly good moisturizing effects and blended well with other basic skincare products, making it easy to use. The fragrance was almost non-existent, allowing for worry-free usage. The absence of any artificial fragrance was personally satisfactory. The tube packaging was much more convenient to use compared to other products I had previously, as it allowed for easy control of the amount and hygienic application.
ConsIf you are very sensitive to fragrances, upon initial use, a faint ointment-like scent may linger, but it is not persistent, and the fragrance subsequently becomes odorless.

As a skincare nomad who hasn't settled on a single product yet, I was barely surviving this winter with just a skin lotion. As a result, my skin has become dry and dehydrated, and my sebum production has actually increased.๐ฅ But then, I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewer spot and got to try the "Axis-Y Spot Care Glow Serum"! Perfect timing, right?!๐ Let's go!๐ First, the positives! 1. Excellent spreadability & absorptionโ ๏ธโ ๏ธ As someone looking for a good base product to apply after cleansing, I was very satisfied with this product's spreadability and absorption. While it doesn't make my skin super dewy, it applies nicely as the next step after toner.๐ The formula dispenses smoothly and spreads evenly with just a single pump (see photo reference). 2. Oil control & skin texture improvement The product is marketed as targeting pigmentation and blemishes, and I felt it helped regulate my sebum production and improve my skin texture. The serum sinks in quickly, which seems to help reduce sebum secretion, and as a result, my uneven, rough skin texture has become more refined.๐ซถ๐ป Although I've only been using it for about a week, I haven't yet noticed a significant brightening of my dark spots, but I'm hopeful that with continued use, the hydration will help fade the discoloration naturally.๐
Cons1. An ambiguous scent that may divide opinions๐ซค I personally don't have a strong dislike for scents, so I used the product well. However, when I first tried the product, my initial impression was 'Ah, it smells like medicine...'! There also seems to be a slight alcohol-like scent, so those who dislike that type of smell may feel a bit averse to it. (The scent is not particularly strong or long-lasting, though.) 2. Lacking in moisture when used alone๐ฆ I use this product after cleansing, followed by a serum, lotion, and cream, so my skincare routine has a total of 4 steps. I would recommend using this product as a finishing step after toner, or it may not be suitable if you plan to use it on its own. "Huh? You said the moisture was good, so what's the problem?" You might ask. While the product does absorb well into the skin, it doesn't really leave a lasting sense of hydration. Therefore, I would suggest using this as a base layer in your skincare routine, rather than as a standalone product.
TipApply between basic steps ๐

The immediate moisturizing effect was certainly good, and the gel-cream texture was soft and smooth without any aversion. It has a finishing touch without stickiness. The tube and pump type were very satisfactory in terms of hygiene. While the brightening effect was not strongly felt due to the short period, I think I wouldn't have noticed it even with any other brightening cosmetics during this time. Instead, the unexpected cooling sensation(?) was a pleasant surprise in terms of the usage experience.
ConsMy dry skin has very little oil, so the gel-cream formula provided immediate moisturizing effects, but the lasting power was a bit weak for me. As a result, unlike the serum I normally use, I had to layer it and apply it twice, then finish with a cream-oil combination. I don't know about others, but for me, having to layer it made me feel like the amount was depleting too quickly. The amount is just too little.
