ConsFirst, I'm not sure if I should say the fragrance is too strong or the cosmetic smell is too intense... As someone who prefers unscented products, this is quite disappointing for me. I couldn't test it at the store where I purchased it, so I had no idea the scent would be this overpowering. I mistakenly assumed that since it's La Roche-Posay, the products would be mild and gentle. My face is itchy, so I don't think I can continue using this. I'll try to use it up by applying it only to my neck or areas with a lot of freckles. This product has made me realize that I may be sensitive to skin care items. I have no plans to repurchase or recommend this.

The price was also expensive.
ConsEven though I have sensitive skin, it stung. And the fragrance was really 🤦 It made me feel unpleasant. It had an artificial cosmetic fragrance, but as time passed, a faint metallic or coin-like smell emerged, which was really unpleasant. I've used the La Roche-Posay B5 Baume and Hyalu B5 Serum, and they agreed with my skin very well, but I couldn't apply this one on my face. 😢

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.

I manage my skincare routine by using only a basic toner and essence or moisturizer, without layering many products at once. • The texture is slightly viscous but applies smoothly. It has a silky feel and is not sticky, and the absorption is faster than I expected. • Since it's a vitamin C + hydration product, it's less drying than the Cellex-C product I used before. With Cellex-C, I always had to use a separate moisturizer, but this product works well on its own. For now, in the summer, using this alone is fine, but I'm not sure how it will fare in colder weather. • After using it for a short period, I haven't seen dramatic effects yet, but my complexion does seem a bit brighter. With consistent use, I think it will help improve my skin tone. • Since it's a vitamin C product, I didn't use it during the day, as I found it inconvenient to reapply sunscreen over it in the heat. • Unlike the Cellex-C, which stung a lot, this product doesn't cause any irritation. It seems to be a moderate-strength vitamin C formula, and the added hydration makes it comfortable to use.
Cons• The packaging is very inconvenient. The dropper is thick and blunt, so it's easy for the product to get messy on the sides, and the container gets dirty when carrying it around. • The ingredient list doesn't seem exceptionally good, and the fragrance is a mix of various cosmetic scents, which I would have preferred to be fragrance-free.
TipOverall, this seems to be a decent vitamin C + hydration product that can be used without any major issues.

I don't have sensitive skin, so please refer to your skin type and read the review. ❗️Skin type: Dry, very dehydrated, lots of peach fuzz, average pore size, not sensitive but products that are too oily cause sebum production, sometimes have inflammatory acne and frequent blackheads on the T-zone, 22nd shade Olive skin tone. 👍Pros 1. Helps with dehydration => Effective for blemishes The texture is thicker than a typical serum. So it may feel a bit heavy, but when you apply and pat it in, it becomes plump and bouncy! I mainly use it on the T-zone, and since it helps with dehydration, it seems to be helpful for blemish treatment as well! ❗️Recommended for severely dry skin types 2. Brightens the complexion, effective for blemishes As this is a vitamin serum, I expected anti-aging and brightening benefits. I applied it to the T-zone and cheeks every night for about 2 weeks, and in the morning, I could feel that my skin tone looked brighter. (Not just a change in skin luminosity, but an improvement in blemishes and skin texture) 3. Although the price may seem high considering the volume, it's rich, so you only need to use a little, making it last longer!
Cons1. It's disappointing that the thick texture leaves some product residue on the opening when dispensing the serum. 2. The artificial fragrance is strong. It looks like a refreshing orange, but the artificial powder-like scent is quite unpleasant. If it had a fresh, citrusy scent like the Goodal serum, it would have suited the image better. 3. It's hydrating and plump, but makeup tends to slip. I only used it for my nighttime skincare routine. Maybe because it's still hot, I felt it was a bit suffocating and uncomfortable during the day.
Tip1. I use it as part of my nighttime skincare routine. Toner > Vita 100 Serum✔️ > Moisturizer 2. Dispense some on the back of my hand and gently pat it onto my cheeks. Don't rub, but press it in with the palms of my hands to help it absorb better > This helps with absorption and avoids skin irritation.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review written by a Hwahae Trial Reviewer who received the product. My skin is not particularly sensitive and is combination skin with only oiliness on the nose and T-zone. 🔥Product Packaging When I first received the product, it came packaged with some jellies, so it felt like I got the jellies as a free gift, which made me happy☺!! The product itself is orange-colored, and the jellies are also orange, so it gave me the feeling of "I'm vitamin C!!!" and I thought the product packaging was well-designed. When I tried the product that is said to be good for soothing, moisturizing, wrinkle improvement, and dead skin care in various ways, 🔥Color and Texture I thought the bottle would only be orange, but the serum color is also an orange tone, so it really gave me the "vitamin, vitamin🎶" vibe!! The texture is not completely clear, but I felt it was lightweight. 🔥Moisture and After Application When I applied it to my skin, there was a cool, refreshing feeling, and it felt so moisturizing that I was worried my hair would stick to it. But after application, the surface became smooth quickly, and my hair didn't stick, and I felt the moisture was locked in the inner layers. I often don't use ampoules if they feel heavy, but this product feels lightweight after application, yet the moisture remains, so I've been using it consistently! 🔥Effects I usually have some redness on my cheeks, but after using this product consistently for a week, the redness noticeably decreased. Because of that, my face overall looked brighter, and people commented that I looked radiant even without makeup!
ConsI've never really thought much about the scent of cosmetics, whether I liked it or not, and have just been using them without much concern. But after trying this product, I realized for the first time that the fragrance bothers me. Some say it has a white musk scent, but to me it smells like a strong men's skin care product. When I apply it before bed, the scent lingers around my nose, which is quite unpleasant. I would cautiously recommend this to those who are sensitive to scents to consider using a different product. As for the dropper, previous ampoules I've used had a concave end, but this one has a straight dropper. It felt a bit unfamiliar at first, but I think I'll get used to it with use. There wasn't any major issue in dispensing the product. I received this product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, so I wasn't too concerned about the price. But when I looked it up to write the review, I was a bit surprised to see it's in the 50,000 won range. As a basic skincare product to be used for about 2 months, I felt the price is a bit burdensome. Assuming there is a discount, my repurchase intention is around 60%.
TipIf you apply this product along with other basic products, a slight pilling or clumping may occur when you do your makeup. Therefore, I recommend using it at night for skin care purposes.

I was looking for a product that would replenish my moisture and vitamin C, and I'm so happy to have won this! My skin type is sensitive, somewhere between extremely dry and dry. 👉Moisturizing My cheeks get a bit matte even with just a small amount, and I have severe dehydration. After cleansing, my skin feels like it's going to tear. So I really value that moisturizing feel. When I apply this and go to sleep, even a thin layer keeps my skin hydrated until the next day. I always do a moisture routine before applying cushion in the morning, and this product leaves my skin feeling moisturized even after washing, so I can just apply the cushion without any extra steps, which was a pleasant surprise (of course, I still use a hydrating cushion, but this provides great moisture). 👉Texture I avoid textures that are too sticky or thick, but this one is just right - a bit creamy, but not overly so. As it absorbs, the texture becomes less noticeable, which I really like. So the texture works well for me. However, if you dislike any sort of creamy or sticky feel, this may not be the best option for you. 👉Conclusion Recommend for: Dry skin types in need of intense hydration, or those looking for a vitamin C boost. Not recommended for: Those who dislike creamy or slightly sticky textures.
ConsIf there are good points, there must be bad points as well, right..? ㅠㅡ 👉Fragrance The fragrance is really, really sweet, but it's not a scent I want to smell. It's too strong. It smells like old cosmetics.. I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, and when I applied it a little too much, I couldn't sleep at all. Ah.. The fragrance is really, it's a bit indescribable, sour? Sweet? That kind of fragrance. 👉Ingredients Since I have sensitive skin, I was really worried about the ingredients, but I didn't get any acne or anything like that. I'm not sure if it's because of this, but I sometimes felt an itchy sensation, and my skin became a bit bumpy. It's not acne, but something similar to that. 👉Conclusion Recommendation: "Don't worry about the fragrance or anything, it's not sensitive either. Just focus on hydration and vitamin C, and it'll be fine." Not recommended: "Hmm.. I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, and if the ingredients aren't good, something might appear on my skin...."
TipAt night, if you absorb it little by little, apply it, and then absorb it again in this way, the moisture will continue to be replenished until the next day, and it will remain moisturized! If you have dry skin and want to use a matte cushion, apply this thinly before using the matte cushion in the morning. It will make your skin feel moisturized!

And for those with dry, oily skin, it's the perfect formula that doesn't dry out the skin at all when used alone. Normally, with this level of moisture, the oil would come up later, but there's hardly any oily residue. My skin is really sensitive, so finding the right base products is tricky, but this one didn't cause any breakouts. In short, it's a holy grail item.
ConsWhenever I go to that old department store, I get this mixed fragrance of all kinds of cosmetics - powder, foundation, cushion, BB cream, all blended together.
