It applies smoothly and the scent is not unpleasant at all. On lazy days, I just apply it twice after cleansing and let it absorb fully. When I wake up and wash my face in the morning, my skin feels so great - it's so soft and firm!
ConsWhen using it and inserting the dropper, you need to be careful not to touch the bottle opening. If not, it will spill out of the opening...

I bought it expecting it to improve my skin tone and blemishes, but I haven't seen much effect yet. I've used about half the product. If you think of it as an essence to use after toner, rather than a vitamin C serum, it should work fine. It doesn't feel overly oily or moisturizing, but it absorbs into the skin nicely. Lately, I've been using just a toner, this product, a cream, and a moisturizer, and the oil-moisture balance is working well for me. The scent seems to be a matter of personal preference, but I found it to be just fine.
ConsMaybe because it has a lot of vitamin C, when I apply it at night and go to bed, it rubs off on my pillow. On weekends when I'm lazy and just rinse my face with water, it leaves a really yellow stain on my towel. It's a small thing, but if you have white bedding, it can be a bit annoying and bothersome. The product also comes in a dropper bottle, and you have to close it really precisely, or else it will leak out the sides. And the leaked product then dries and gets messy around the bottle opening. Anyway, I think it's a product without any major pros or cons, so I don't plan to repurchase it. The price isn't particularly attractive considering it's just a moisturizing product.

Also, my skin feels softer in the morning after using it. (I don't use it daily.)
Cons🍂Product Packaging The dropper tip is not well-shaped, and there is only a 1cm hole, so the product tends to flow out rather than drop. This makes it difficult to control the amount, and the wide tube opening and narrow bottle mouth lead to messy product buildup around the opening and dried residue inside the cap. 🍂Scent There is an artificial orange and maple syrup-like fragrance, along with a scent similar to dog shampoo, all mixed together. While these are tolerable at first, over time the scent shifts to a rubbery, metallic smell that persists until the product is washed off, causing headaches. 🍂Minimal Whitening Effect I used it daily at first to address some chin scarring, but didn't notice much difference, so I stopped using it and started applying sunscreen daily instead, which helped fade the scars. While it didn't whiten my skin, it did seem to improve the overall complexion (though not to a dramatic degree).
TipI don't recommend using this together with the brand's Cicaplus Balm, as it can cause pilling issues.

ConsThose who have tried it will all agree, the packaging... The dropper is too inconvenient. It leaks to the side when closing. There is a slightly thick, viscous feeling from the vitamin, even though it absorbs well. They say it's good to apply with a sunscreen during the day, but it's difficult to use because it's so thick.
TipIt's said that vitamin C products are less irritating to the skin when used alone. If you want to apply a moisturizer afterwards, using a water-based formula with vitamin E (tocopherol) can help with absorption.

It has an orange color and a gummy, paste-like texture. I thought it would be fine since the fragrance is powdery and the finish is smooth, but it caused a breakout of small pimples on my chin.
ConsThose who don't tolerate vitamin C well should not try this. And the bottle opening is narrow - are you really going to use that dropper? It leaks and drips...and even with the discount, it costs over 40,000 won, which is a waste of money.
TipForget about using this product neatly and carefully.

There's no stickiness either. I have oily and summer-type skin, and it suits me well, so I'm using my second bottle. I also feel like my skin is being soothed.
ConsThe dropper is inconvenient to use... It keeps dripping from the bottle opening... And if you use it for a long time, the color changes, so it's better to use it up quickly.

(The moisturizing power was good. Since it's for dry skin, I felt it was a bit drying. My friend with dry skin said it was good though. I also applied it to my mother, and she said it was good. I also feel like my dead skin has reduced a bit.)
ConsSince I have a lot of acne, it felt a bit stinging when I applied it.ㅜ I didn't really feel much improvement in skin texture either. It seems like you sent me the used one.ㅠㅠ It was hardened and all over the place. The scent was a bit unpleasant too. The opening also felt a bit narrow. The price also seems too high. Personally, I'm a bit disappointed.
TipIf you apply a generous amount at the end of your skincare routine, your skin texture will improve.

I didn't particularly change any other cosmetics, so it seems the effect is definitely from this product. My skin feels soft when I wash my face in the morning and when I apply it. * Firm, dense feeling This feeling makes my skin feel taut. It has a plump, dense sensation when touched. I'd say it has good elasticity. Since I don't usually use products like this, I find it quite nice. * Slightly brighter skin tone There's a certain radiance that only I can notice. This varies by day, but I can feel it after washing my face in the morning. Overall, my skin tone feels clearer. * Bouncy texture, good absorption I apply a drop on each cheek, nose, and forehead, and it spreads and absorbs as I apply it. Gently patting it in, I can feel it getting absorbed right away.
Cons* Ingredients The ingredients are the most disappointing part. There are 3 caution ingredients. I usually don't use basic products with caution ingredients, but this one was still okay. I feel there are some ingredients that could be removed. * Packaging It's a dropper, but the product doesn't dispense cleanly. Maybe it's due to the texture, but if I'm not careful, it can drip around the opening. This is something I have to be mindful of. * Fragrance (love it or hate it) I initially liked the orange scent, but there are times when I find it off-putting. The fragrance is quite strong. This varies each time I use it.
TipI use this right after applying toner (skin). Gently pat in a drop or two, and apply it lightly. If you envelop it with the warmth of your palms, you'll feel it charging up your skin from within. This alone is not enough, and you'll want to follow up with a moisturizer. (As of September) But the moisturizer also helps enhance the absorption. — Products Used — Makeprep Cleansing Foam 1-2 times Esteemed Tree Toner 2-3 times La Roche-Posay Vitamin Dokdo Lotion (Cynic The Simple Daily Lotion)

Although I didn't have much time to use the product due to a business trip, I was still able to get a sense of it. As it is an ampoule serum, it felt very moisturizing. When it comes to skincare, as long as it's moisturizing and doesn't cause any trouble, that's half the battle, right? Since I have combination skin that's prone to dryness, especially during this transitional weather, my cheeks have been feeling quite tight. Luckily, I had run out of my previous ampoule, so I started using this one, and the difference was noticeable. It had a slightly oily feel to it, and it felt rich and creamy, which made me feel like the ampoule serum was doing its job well. At first, it stung a bit when I applied it, but that went away after a couple of days. And I didn't experience any breakouts either!
ConsTo be honest, I didn't really like the scent. I usually don't care too much about the fragrance as long as the product works well, but this one was a bit of an issue. At first, it had a strong baby powder-like scent, and after applying it, there was a kind of metallic, iron-like smell. These two very different scents were quite jarring, to say the least. Also, I'm not sure if it's the dropper, but the product tends to flow out to the side quite a bit, so I ended up having to wipe and reapply it quite often.
TipNow that it's the transitional season, I layer on a creamy, rich moisturizer and apply this product twice. Then I finish with an aloe vera soothing gel. While I don't have any special tips, this layering routine helps the product not feel heavy and keeps my skin nicely hydrated. The aloe vera gel is optional, but if you skip it, your skin might feel quite dry.

This was the second antioxidant product I've used, and while I felt a slight tingling sensation for the first two days (it wasn't irritating or painful), by the third day, there was no more discomfort. However, I would occasionally feel a slight tingling after my evening cleansing routine, but strangely, I noticed my skin seemed to improve on days when I wasn't feeling my best. I was also worried that the thick texture might make it feel greasy, but when I applied it, it spread evenly and didn't leave a heavy, sticky feeling.
ConsThe two main disappointments I had while using the product were: First, since it's a vitamin product, I had high expectations for improvements in skin tone, but after two weeks of use, I haven't noticed significant changes yet. I'll update my review if I'm more satisfied after continued use. Secondly, the dropper would suck up the product but couldn't hold it well, causing it to drip down.
