I continued using it consistently, and no other blemishes appeared afterward. After application, there's a subtle glow. Personally, I'm not sure if this glow is unique to this product or if it's just the natural sheen that appears when applying any product to the face. However, the glow seems to last longer than with regular serums or creams...??
ConsThe complete lack of viscosity means you need to control the amount carefully, and it tends to run down your face when applied, so you need to spread it quickly. While it's nice that it absorbs quickly without stickiness, it also seems to dry out just as fast...??

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, it looked like it would be really viscous, but it was surprisingly thin! Actually, because it's so light, it absorbs well without any stickiness, which seems to suit my oily skin perfectly. When I first applied it, being a serum, it felt less moisturizing than a cream. However, after the second application, it felt as hydrating as a cream, with a boost of moisture, yet without being sticky or heavy. That second-layer state was just perfect. Also, when I apply makeup after using this, my skin seems to take it in more smoothly. It gives that kind of effect.
ConsThe downside is that the product case is made of glass, so there's a risk of it breaking. I tend to have a lot of cosmetics on my vanity, and I often accidentally knock things over. In such cases, I'm worried this might shatter. That's the disappointing part.

When I first dispensed it, I thought it might be oily, but as soon as I spread it on my face, it applies incredibly lightly and absorbs beautifully. It absorbs quickly too, making it perfect for layering on busy mornings! The fragrance is a delightful surprise - while I usually prefer fragrance-free products, this one has a light floral scent I've rarely encountered in Korean skincare. It's refreshing and mood-lifting (a mix of ylang-ylang and a slightly tart floral scent). The absorption is so good that I can skip toner and use this for a simple care routine.
ConsI haven't found any downsides yet. I've been using it morning and night, and I haven't experienced any blemishes or stickiness, so I'm quite satisfied with it.
TipI use this product in place of toner, followed by essence and cream to complete my basic skincare routine. If you have extra time, try layering this product about three times and finish with a light moisturizer for a wonderfully fresh feeling.

Texture: It's not too runny, has a slight viscosity, and is a pale yellow color. Scent: Absolutely love it! It has a subtle herbal fragrance. Absorbs well into the skin. Seems more suitable for combination to oily skin types rather than dry skin.
ConsIt's decent, but not compelling enough for a repurchase. It's the kind of product I'd use if given, but wouldn't seek out.

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 have dry skin that's not particularly sensitive and doesn't tend to break out much. This serum has an almost water-like consistency that flows easily! It's neither too slippery nor too thick, making it easy to apply. However, due to its thin texture, you need to hold the dropper really close to your face when applying. The absorption is fantastic - it sinks in quickly after rolling it onto your face, making it perfect for use before makeup in the morning. While I didn't notice dramatic results in a short time, I did feel like my blemishes calmed down and improved a bit over a few days, so I plan to keep using it consistently. It has quite a strong herbal or plant-like scent, which I personally enjoy, but it might be hit or miss depending on your preference.
ConsIt absorbs quickly and leaves a thin film on the skin, which personally makes me feel a bit suffocated. I would prefer a serum with more hydration and moisture.

This is my first time trying a Sephora Collection product! According to the product description, it contains Vitamins C and E to brighten the complexion and deliver hydration, along with natural peptides that give the skin a glow and provide moisture. And it really does seem to hydrate the skin! It absorbs quickly, and it's definitely more hydrating than oily, which is great. Even after multiple uses, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It's designed for oily skin types too, with no rich feeling and a lightweight formula. Unless you have extremely dry skin, I think you could use this year-round. That said, it's not just hydrating - it does provide some moisturization as well. True to its name, it leaves your skin with a glowing finish, which I love!
ConsThe fragrance is a bit too strong for my liking. I wouldn't recommend this for those sensitive to scents.
TipIn the morning, apply a suitable amount to your face and neck, gently massaging it in. You might think you should use this at night because it contains Vitamin C, but this product is actually meant for morning use!

It feels like I've applied an ultra-thin layer of primer. I tried it with a matte foundation, and despite its texture, it really enhanced the matte finish, which I loved. The skin looked so flawless that for the first time in ages, I felt confident wearing base makeup under my mask! When I applied it at night, I could definitely feel it smoothing out my skin texture. The consistency is closer to an oil, but it absorbs completely, giving the impression that the skin is drinking it in. It also provides hydration, making it great for dry skin types. It offers just the right level of moisture to create the perfect canvas for makeup. I got to try this as part of The Hwahae Testers, and I'm absolutely planning to purchase it!
ConsSince it contains Vitamin C, it's essential to patch test if you have sensitive skin! Vitamin C can be naturally irritating and may cause a tingling sensation. Even for the same person, you might experience irritation you didn't notice before if your skin is in poor condition! The fragrance is a subtle pine scent, at least to my nose! It's not overpowering, rather it's quite faint, which I actually liked, but it might be a matter of personal preference.
TipIn your skincare routine before makeup, dispense a full dropper and apply it following your skin's texture. Then, when you apply your base makeup, the silky-smooth feeling on your skin is no joke! It's amazing!

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.ProsJust as the product description says, it pairs wonderfully with makeup! The water-like texture absorbs quickly when you roll it on. You can apply your base makeup right after, achieving a dewy look without any patchiness. It's not an oily shine, but rather allows for a makeup look with a natural glow that comes from well-hydrated skin. Additional note (22.10.05): I have sensitive skin around my eyes, but this product doesn't cause any tingling sensation even when I apply it liberally, almost as if I'm washing my face. That's a big plus!
ConsThe liquid texture is very runny, almost watery, so it might not provide intense hydration. I'm not sure about the 'Inner Glow' they mentioned - it's hard to tell. However, once you apply makeup, your skin does look moisturized! As someone with dry skin, I think this product might be better suited for those with oily skin types.
TipFor a hydrating skincare routine, cleanse your face, apply toner, then gently massage in the serum using rolling motions, and finish with a moisturizer. The pump dispenses quite a bit of product, so I use about half a pump. For a glowing makeup look, apply a thin layer of moisturizer, followed by a light layer of foundation. Then, use a damp makeup sponge to pat it in. This creates a natural, luminous finish!

Cons- Instructions say to apply in the morning, but I felt uneasy using it during the day due to the Vitamin C content, so I only applied it at night - Seems more suitable for summer rather than fall or winter

Despite my combination and sensitive skin type, it absorbs well without any irritation. The texture isn't thick, but rather similar to a watery consistency. On busy mornings, I've found it works great as a toner substitute. It absorbs quickly and doesn't feel overly rich, yet it gives my face a subtle glow. When I apply makeup afterwards, my skin looks even better!
ConsI didn't really find any major drawbacks. However, for those with extremely dry skin, the moisture level might not be quite enough if used alone, as it's not particularly rich.
