Especially sweet or overpowering scents can make me feel nauseous. However, this product has a subtle, herbal aroma. It's like a faint tea tree scent that gently wafts by, which actually feels refreshing. I quite enjoyed it! ** Tube-type pump I've tried both tube and pump serums before, but this is my first time using a container that combines both! The pump dispenses just the right amount for each use, which is convenient. And since it's also a tube, I'll be able to squeeze out every last drop. What a brilliant idea! ** Blemish care Though I've only used it for two weeks, so I can't say my blemishes have noticeably disappeared, I did feel that my complexion became subtly clearer. ** Texture The slightly runny texture seems perfect for absorption in the early skincare steps. Since this isn't a serum focused on nutrition or hydration, I think this consistency suits it well!
Cons** Moisturizing As it's not a highly concentrated nourishing serum, the hydration doesn't last very long. Like other reviews suggest, applying 2-3 layers would probably work better.
TipTip: Make sure to follow up with a moisturizing cream!

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.Pros• Overall: A user-friendly brightening and blemish-improving pumping serum • Packaging: Pump bottle • Scent: Cool herbal aroma (subtle) • Texture: Between gel and serum • Application: Absorbs well, light and moisturizing (like a soothing gel), not sticky, quick absorption even with reapplication • Sensitivity: Tested for sensitive skin, low irritation. No irritation, but personally feel a slight cooling effect • Effects: Water-soluble vitamin ingredients brighten the face! Focuses on blemish/mark improvement, brightening, and hydration • Personal review: My face tends to get dry during seasonal changes, but this serum instantly provides vitality and hydration, making me satisfied every time I use it. Most essences and serums come in glass bottles with droppers, which can be a bit cumbersome, but the pump format makes this so much easier to use! There's a subtle cooling effect right after application, which feels refreshing and nice. It's so gentle that I can apply it right after cleansing without any irritation. The texture is thicker for a serum, providing good hydration and forming a thin moisture barrier - you could even use it instead of an emulsion in summer. I don't have many blemishes and am naturally fair-skinned, so I can't really tell about the blemish-improving or whitening effects, but I definitely notice my skin looks more vibrant than before!
ConsI've been using it every evening for just over a week, and there's no sign of blemishes or any disappointments in its use. For a Hwahae product, it's surprisingly fragrant. I thought it might contain added fragrances, but looking at the ingredients, there are none! The scent might be from rosemary oil. It's a natural herbal scent that doesn't linger and dissipates as you massage it in.
TipNo special tips, but as always, it's important to follow the correct order of application based on product texture and allow proper absorption time between layers. This serum is thicker than most, so it's best applied after your essence. e.g. Toner, Skin (wait 10+ seconds) -> Essence, Serum (wait 15+ seconds) -> Emulsion (wait 30+ seconds) -> Cream (wait 30+ seconds) -> Eye cream

The lightweight, thin formula spreads smoothly on the skin and absorbs quickly without any stickiness. ✓ Convenient pump bottle. More hygienic than dropper types, easy to use with one hand, making storage and application simple. ✓ Fresh finish. Almost no rich feeling, leaving skin feeling light, making it suitable for morning use. ✓ Recommended skin types: Seems more suitable for oily and combination skin. Recommended for those who prefer a lightweight feel.
Cons✓ May be irritating for sensitive skin. Initial use caused a tingling sensation due to the menthol effect. A patch test is recommended for those with sensitive skin before use. ✓ Appearance of small blemishes. Stopped use after small blemishes appeared following second application. Caution is advised for skin prone to blemishes. ✓ Lacks long-lasting hydration. May feel dry when used alone, potentially unsuitable for dry skin types.
Tip💡 If quick absorption leads to dryness, use with a hydrating moisturizer to complement hydration. Applying a moisturizing cream immediately after the serum can prevent moisture loss. 💡 Great product for use before makeup in the morning. The non-greasy, light finish allows for makeup application without worrying about pilling.

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.ProsFirst off, I'm giving it 5 stars for its excellent absorption and how well it applies. The instant brightening effect I felt after using it really lifted my spirits while applying. I hope my honest review proves helpful to others!
ConsIt seems to lack a bit in terms of hydration. As quickly as it absorbs, there's a slight tightening sensation - perhaps a lifting effect? I applied my usual moisturizer afterwards. While the immediate effects are great, the longevity is somewhat disappointing. My dark spots seemed to fade quickly over a few days, but when I don't get enough sleep, my skin darkens again...
TipMaintaining the brightening effect is challenging, so after use, I generously apply a collagen cream. By morning, I can see my skin looks a bit clearer. Since dark spots can intensify depending on your condition, getting enough rest is absolutely essential.

It's not a cream with a heavy oil content, but rather a product that applies smoothly, absorbs well, and seems to address deep dryness, which I really liked. The scent isn't overpowering, which I think is great. I appreciated that it comes in a pump bottle, making it easy to control the amount and convenient to use. It spreads evenly and smoothly when applying, which was nice. Even though I have super sensitive skin, I was satisfied using it throughout the trial period without any blemishes.
ConsSome people might find it feels sticky until it's fully absorbed. Since it's a serum, I recommend applying it along with other skincare products. It seemed insufficient on its own to maintain hydration for dry skin throughout the day.

Cons- If you're extremely sensitive to scents, you might notice a very faint medicinal smell initially. However, this doesn't linger and the product becomes essentially fragrance-free after a moment

It's Hwahae Fighting Cutie here! Today, I'll be reviewing the AXIS-Y Spot the Difference Blemish Treatment Serum! As someone who hasn't settled on a single skincare product and tends to hop around, I've been barely getting by this winter with just skin and emulsion. As a result, now that we're in the dead of winter, my skin has become dry and dehydrated, ironically leading to increased sebum production. In the midst of this, I was lucky enough to win a chance to try the 'AXIS-Y Spot the Difference Blemish Treatment Serum' through The Hwahae Testers program! Talk about perfect timing! Let's dive in! First, the positives! 1. Excellent absorption and application As someone looking for a product to use after my exfoliating toner, I was very satisfied with how well this product applies and absorbs! While it doesn't provide intense hydration upon application, it's perfect as a lightweight layer following toner. The texture spreads smoothly and evenly on its own when dispensed (please refer to the photo). 2. Oil control and skin texture improvement While it's marketed as a product specialized for pigmentation and blemish care, I noticed improvements in sebum control and skin texture! Especially as the serum absorbs quickly, it seems to help reduce sebum production, which in turn helps smooth out the rough skin texture caused by excess oil and uneven skin! Although I've only used it for about a week and haven't noticed significant lightening of pigmented areas, I see potential for naturally fading dark spots with consistent use as it hydrates the deeper layers of skin!
Cons1. A somewhat ambiguous scent that might be divisive Personally, I don't have strong aversions to scents, so I used it without issues, but my first impression when using the product was 'Oh, it smells like medicine...!' There's also a slight hint of an alcohol-like scent, which might be off-putting for those who dislike such fragrances! (The scent isn't particularly strong or long-lasting, though) 2. Insufficient hydration when used alone My skincare routine consists of 4 steps: exfoliating toner, followed by this serum, then emulsion and cream! I wouldn't recommend using this product alone or as a final step after toner! You might be thinking, 'Wait, didn't you say it had good hydration earlier?' Well, while it absorbs well into the skin, I didn't feel like it maintained skin hydration on its own. Therefore, I recommend using it as a base layer in the middle of your skincare routine.
TipApply between skincare steps!

The immediate hydration effect was definitely good, and the gel-cream texture was soft and pleasant, causing no aversion. It leaves a non-sticky finish with a nice feel. I was very satisfied with the hygienic tube and pump packaging. While the brightening effect wasn't noticeable, possibly due to the short usage period, I think this would be the case with any brightening product used for such a short time. Unexpectedly, I enjoyed the surprising cooling effect, which added a nice touch to the overall experience.
ConsFor my extremely dry skin lacking in oil, While the gel-cream texture provided good immediate hydration, the lasting power was a bit weak for me. Unlike my usual serum, I had to layer this twice, followed by cream and oil to finish. I'm not sure about others, but perhaps due to layering, I noticed the product amount decreasing rapidly. The quantity is too small.

The pump dispenser minimizes air contact, giving a sense of cleanliness.
ConsThe hydration doesn't last very long, so you end up reapplying often and using it up quickly.
