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.

The fragrance is not too strong, so there is no discomfort.
ConsI have generally sensitive skin due to seborrheic dermatitis, and when I first used it, it was extremely stinging. And as I gradually got used to it, suddenly I got a lot of milia. It could be because of this cosmetic product or not, but after it flared up twice, I stopped using it.

After that, I applied a few drops of this product and gently patted it in, and I definitely felt it deeply absorbing into my skin. That was the best part - the feeling that the product was fully penetrating my skin. Also, there was no residue left behind, so I was able to layer a hydrating essence on top without any heaviness. I've been using this morning and night for about 2 weeks now, and most of the blemishes I developed from prolonged mask-wearing have subsided. As for the fragrance, some reviews mentioned it being a bit unique, but I personally don't find it too bothersome and have been able to tolerate it fine during use.
ConsGiven the short 2-month shelf life after opening, the amount of product seems a bit excessive. I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it all up before it expires. The price is also on the higher side, so I'll need to wait for a sale to purchase it. Also, the dropper is just loose in the box without any separate packaging, which feels a bit sketchy. I'll need to disinfect it before each use.

But it didn't really suit me overall, so I passed it on to a friend, and she said her skin became so smooth and she really liked it.
ConsI have thin, sensitive skin and vitamin products don't tend to agree with me. I was hesitant about this product too, and sure enough, it stung. I also used a vitamin C serum, and after that my skin broke out in bumps and got irritated. This product also caused redness and stinging, so I stopped using it right away. According to my friend, it doesn't really help much with dark spots, and since it's a vitamin product, the moisture level is lacking. And above all, the packaging is inconvenient, and it's not very affordable, which is disappointing.

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.

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.

It contains neurosensing ingredients that can help improve wrinkles, as well as adenosine and salicylic acid for exfoliation, making this serum an all-in-one skincare essential. It has a non-sticky texture that absorbs beautifully while providing a nice glow, so it's perfect for daily use morning and night.
ConsThe high vitamin content means it's best not to apply before going out. It's better to apply it in a thin layer rather than layering it on.
TipApplying it before bed is just heavenly⚘♥️

I purchased it during a sale at Olive Young and have been using it consistently.
ConsThe dropper is really disappointing. I really hope you can improve it. The dropper is practically useless. The price is outrageous, so I'm using it sparingly.
TipI apply it after my evening skincare routine before bed.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros•••Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review••• Skin Type: Summer-Oily / Winter-Dry Night Skincare Routine: Estrada Toner - Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum - La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C - This serum seemed to absorb quickly for a thick serum! - For those of you with oily skin like me, adjusting the amount used should work well! As an oily-skinned person, I usually can't use heavy serums, but this one absorbs well when I adjust the amount, leaving a non-greasy, fresh finish. - I recommend using a light base for oily skin types in this cold weather! - In the less than 2 weeks I've used it, the biggest change I noticed was in my skin texture! It seems to have helped smooth out my skin and reduce rough patches. My skin has been quite rough lately due to lack of sleep, but this has made it feel softer. Thank you so much!!
Cons- Since it is quite thick, a lot of the serum tends to get stuck on the dropper tip. And since the opening is quite narrow, you have to be careful when dispensing it to avoid it getting all over the opening. - Scent: I personally didn't mind it, but it is quite strong, so those sensitive to fragrance may not like it.
Tip- For thick serums like this, I find it helps to warm it up in your palms before applying, and then gently press it into the skin. If it feels too sticky at the end, I recommend trying that method. - There is a slight tingling or irritation feeling, likely due to the vitamin C. Those with sensitive skin should keep that in mind!

After massaging it a bit, the texture gets absorbed, and there is no stickiness. 🔸️Moisturizing As a serum, the moisturizing effect is good, and the author, who has dry skin, feels the moisturizing effect remains until morning face wash. And even though it's still hot, the skin doesn't feel dry without applying a cream (using only the diluted toner for the routine).
Cons🔹️Dropper (container) As mentioned in other reviews, many people have pointed this out. The dropper is a straight tube, so if you're not careful, the product can flow out of the container. La Roche-Posay should fix this. 🔹️Wrinkle improvement, soothing I started using it to match the variety, but the wrinkle improvement is not immediately visible. I don't have that many wrinkles either. Similarly, the soothing effect was not significant, and sensitive areas felt a bit stinging.
