As someone with dry skin, I always add a serum or essence to my usual routine during seasonal changes! The Ultra Glow Serum, which I discovered at just the right time, seems like a product that can be effortlessly added to any skincare routine, regardless of season or skin type, to boost moisture levels. Perhaps due to its vitamin content, it seemed to have a slight brightening effect on my complexion! Recently, I noticed some dead skin cells and roughness around my nose area, but this serum smoothed it all out! With its non-oily, hydration-focused formula, I think even those with sensitive skin can use it without worrying about blemishes. Especially noteworthy is its lightweight yet super hydrating feel that seems to lock in skin's condition without causing makeup to pill - perfect for use before applying makeup! I'm very satisfied with it. The environmentally conscious packaging is also great! I love the clean, professional-looking design without any unnecessary frills.
ConsThe product is quite thin and light, so I've dropped it several times while transferring from the dropper to my face... Personally, I think a pump-type container would be more convenient than the dropper... The dropper feels a bit weak and tends to drip easily.
TipThanks to its lightweight formula, it pairs well with any product. I use it like a first essence right after cleansing to quickly calm any dryness in my skin.

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.

To be honest, I didn't expect much in terms of hydration, but for someone like me with combination dehydrated skin and extremely oily skin prone to deep dryness, it feels great both morning and night. While it's not enough to use alone in fall and winter, it seems to pair well with other skincare products. It works nicely with both skincare basics and base makeup products. I usually struggle terribly during seasonal changes, but this product seems to help calm my skin more quickly. My mother is quite picky about skincare (she even avoids herbal cosmetics due to their scent), but after trying this product once, she immediately took it for herself!
ConsConsidering the price, it feels like I'm using it up too quickly. The name 'serum', its consistency, and the dropper all seem a bit mismatched. I was slightly taken aback by the scented formula, as it's been a while since I've used fragranced skincare. However, the subtle scent isn't unpleasant.
TipMixing it with base makeup products greatly improves dryness. I even added it to my brightening moisturizer with SPF.

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

I don't usually have many blemishes except during seasonal changes. However, my pores are noticeable and I tend to produce a lot of sebum. I expected this glow serum to be sticky or greasy, but surprisingly, it wasn't at all. It's so lightweight that even those with oily skin can use it comfortably. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all.
ConsThis product pills terribly on my skin... it pills so much. The evening I received it, I cleansed my face, wiped it with toner, and immediately applied the serum. It pilled almost as if I had used a peeling gel. I ended up having to cleanse again. The next day, I tried applying it on bare skin right after cleansing, without even using toner, and patted it in. It pilled less, but still pilled. No matter how I apply it, it pills too much on my skin. Also, for a 'glow' serum, it feels too drying. If even I, with my oily skin, find it drying, I imagine it wouldn't suit those with dry skin at all. Without any notable results, it's hard for me to give this a positive review.
TipIt seems you need to pat it in instead of rubbing it on the skin.

It absorbs incredibly fast, so you need to quickly apply it with the dropper to ensure even distribution. As someone with dry skin who's used to richer formulas, I was a bit surprised by how lightweight this is, but it didn't leave my skin feeling parched. Still, one application felt a bit insufficient, so I ended up layering it 2-3 times. # Effectiveness Before using this product, my skin was in a state - I had some blemishes around my chin due to hormonal changes, and my skin texture was a mess. Now, the blemishes have calmed down and my skin texture has improved. I'm not sure if it's due to hormonal balance or the product, to be honest. However, one thing I noticed for sure - at some point after application, my skin develops a natural glow! It's not an intense glass skin effect, but a subtle radiance. This was quite satisfying as I'd never experienced it before. Also, while it didn't dramatically brighten my complexion, it did seem to even out my skin tone nicely. # Repurchase? I'm quite satisfied, so I do intend to repurchase! However, being dry-skinned, I think I'll need to add another oil-moisture product to my serum step in winter. For summer, though, I think this alone might be light and perfect!
ConsIt might be too lightweight for dry skin types. But overall, I think the pros outweigh the cons!
TipIt seems to work better when layered multiple times or used alongside other hydrating serums. Also, I found it works great when you drop a few drops onto a pad and press it onto your face!

I love the transparent bottle design. It absorbs well into the skin and feels lightweight, which is great. It really sinks in quickly. Awesome!!! The texture is like flowing water, but the finish is slightly elastic and becomes powdery once fully absorbed. It doesn't make my skin greasy, just gives a subtle glow It's not overwhelming at all, but gives that 'healthy skin' radiance! Unfortunately, the glow doesn't show up well in phone camera photos. It contains both Vitamin C and E, Perfect for those who want gentle daily complexion care. Highly recommended for those with sensitive skin who can't use strong Vitamin C serums! I'm generally satisfied with the texture, glow, and tone improvement. I'd definitely repurchase when I run out.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it. I'm happy I got to try it as part of The Hwahae Testers!

I'd only heard in passing that it's great for makeup, but after trying it, I'm amazed at how beautifully it enhances my complexion and keeps my skin hydrated. These days, I'm really enjoying doing my makeup! The formula is incredibly lightweight yet feels like it adheres perfectly to the skin. When applied, there's no pilling or oiliness, and it doesn't sit on top of the skin. I've been mixing it directly with my makeup products, and the result is a subtle, gorgeous glow without looking overdone. I've made it a point to incorporate this product into my routine every day. I even use it occasionally for skincare! When my regular cream feels a bit heavy and I want something lighter but effective, I apply this serum before my moisturizer. I'm absolutely in love with how it applies and its versatility!
ConsThe only downside I can think of is that it doesn't come in a larger size. Since it's not a greasy product, you can't get away with using just a tiny amount for satisfactory results. While you do need to control how much you use, it's best to apply it generously!
TipCan be mixed directly with base makeup products Works well as a skincare step before makeup Can be applied lightly with makeup tools for a subtle effect!

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.ProsMy skin type: Dry, acne-prone, combination in summer, atopic dermatitis Texture: A fluid consistency like water with a slight hint of oil. It's perfect for quickly addressing deep dryness during winter or seasonal changes. It should also feel light enough for summer use. Application: Due to its water-like texture, about 6 drops spread easily over the entire face and absorb quickly. This makes it ideal as a lightweight base before makeup for busy mornings. Scent: A pleasant, subtle rose-like fragrance. Ingredients: Made with plant-derived components suitable for all skin types. I experienced no blemishes while using it. Packaging: The recyclable glass container and eco-friendly packaging perfectly align with my preference for natural, vegan cosmetics.
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I find it a bit light for the current transition to winter. It might be more suitable for spring or early summer. It doesn't quite address all my dryness concerns and might be better for those with oily or combination skin in colder weather. Also, due to my very dry skin, I didn't achieve the radiant glow shown in the product advertisements.
TipThe product contains highly concentrated Vitamins C and E, and peptides, which are said to maintain hydration and radiance. When I used it in combination with my regular Vitamin C serum, I felt like it somewhat evened my skin tone. It also worked great as a light base before applying makeup.

This is the first and only one that didn't cause any blemishes! For me, that alone is worth more than 60% of its value. ✓ Lightweight texture: I prefer light products, and when I need extra hydration, I usually layer on some Bioderma Cicabio. This serum is so watery and thin, it's perfect for using without any worry.
Cons✓ Lacks distinction: While I appreciate its gentleness and lightweight feel, I'm not sure what makes this product stand out. I probably wouldn't spend $20-$30 on it again. It's hard to pinpoint any noticeable benefits after application...
