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...??

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.

I usually don't like scented products, but this one has such a delicate and pleasant aroma that it lifted my mood every time I applied it. The texture is quite fluid, so it flows easily. Absorption isn't super fast, but it's moderate. At first, it feels slightly sticky, but after a few seconds, it absorbs completely. In terms of how moisturized my skin feels deep down, I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's decent. I used it for the last week of September, and while it wasn't enough on its own without a cream, I supplemented it with a bit of moisturizer. Claims about inner glow or dewy skin seem exaggerated - I didn't notice anything like that while using it. The advertising might be a bit over the top, but there wasn't anything bad about the product. I have sensitive, blemish-prone combination skin, and it didn't cause any breakouts. It provided some hydration, and above all, the fragrance was great.
ConsThe consistency is almost water-like, so it tends to run down your cheeks. You need to be careful when applying. There are two ingredients in the formula that aren't ideal. Fortunately, I didn't experience any major side effects, but please keep this in mind when purchasing. Also, I didn't really notice much of a dewy effect.
TipDue to its runny texture, I dispensed 5-6 drops onto my palm, rubbed my hands together, then gently pressed it into my skin all over my face to help it absorb.

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.ProsThese days, many products advertise themselves as hydrating serums that only boost moisture. However, Sephora Collection's Ultra Glow Serum feels different - it's lightweight yet gives a sense of deep nourishment from within! I appreciated that it contains only essential ingredients, making it less overwhelming. With antioxidant-rich Vitamins C and E, I thought it might be great for tackling dark spots and uneven skin tone. Due to wearing masks during the pandemic, I neglected applying sunscreen. Whether it's age or not, I noticed my skin changed dramatically in just two years, with new blemishes appearing. It was quite upsetting, but it motivated me to get serious about skincare again! We all know Vitamin C's downside is that it oxidizes easily. Knowing that Vitamin E helps prevent this to some extent gave me peace of mind. So far, I haven't experienced any side effects, so I plan to keep using it consistently!
ConsSkincare products are prone to degradation from UV light, so I'm a bit concerned about the overly transparent packaging. Also, the serum is quite runny, so you need to apply it directly to your face to prevent it from dripping.

The serum has a thin consistency, making it easy to spread. It comes with a dropper, allowing for easy control of the amount used. The rich texture works well with cushions and foundations. It's perfect for applying makeup when your skin feels dry and flaky. You can experience a subtle glow.
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss (typical cosmetic fragrance). Due to its rich texture, there's a slight stickiness (but not enough for hair to stick to it!). Although it's thin, it might be too runny - it slides off immediately when dropped on the back of your hand.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. I'm in my 30s with dry, sensitive, blemish-prone skin. Lately, my skin condition has been challenging. I've suddenly started getting acne that I've never had before, even at my age. I'm taking medication prescribed by my doctor and consistently doing home care. 1. Refreshing Hydration Essence Despite having dry skin, I dislike products that are too oily or sticky. This product feels like it's 95% hydration and 5% oil. It's incredibly hydrating, absorbs well into the skin without any stickiness, leaving a fresh feeling. 2. NO Blemishes I've been using this continuously since I received it, and I haven't had a single breakout. It seems like there aren't any ingredients that would typically cause blemishes. 3. Great for Pre-Makeup Use Sometimes when skincare is too heavy, it can cause makeup to pill or look patchy. However, no matter how much of this product I apply, it's so hydrating that it absorbs perfectly into the skin without interfering with makeup. It helps maintain a moisturized complexion without causing any makeup issues.
ConsBecause it has a very fluid consistency, when you pick it up with the dropper, it can sometimes drip and fall onto your clothes if you're not careful. I wish it came in a pump format instead.
TipFor touch-ups, try adding a few drops to a mist-dampened makeup sponge before applying. It really helps the makeup adhere perfectly to the skin. If your toner pads aren't quite hydrating enough, you can also add a few drops to them for an extra boost of moisture. Works like a charm!

My skin is quite temperamental, and I usually get blemishes at least once a month. But since using this, my skin has calmed down significantly. I've never been this satisfied as a Hwahae Tester before. I'll definitely repurchase this... no, I will for sure! The scent is also incredibly pleasant, like a clean floral fragrance. It's just so good! Is there a larger size available? I need more of this!
ConsThe texture is way too watery. It's literally like water! It even drips when I'm just taking the dropper out.
TipWhen you apply this before your moisturizer and makeup, your skin becomes... words can't even describe how amazing it feels!

The dropper bottle is hygienic. 2. The fragrance is pleasant (though this could be a drawback for those who dislike scented products). 3. It absorbs incredibly lightly. Particularly suitable for oily skin types. No oiliness at all. Absorbs well and quickly.
Cons1. Immediately after application, I felt a burning and tingling sensation on my face. I thought it might improve, so I continued using it for a few more days, but red blemishes appeared. 2. Not very hydrating for dry skin. Even after applying three layers, there was no rich feeling at all. 3. The texture is too watery and runs off easily. If applied directly to the face, it all drips down to the chin, making it difficult to apply properly. You have to dispense it onto your hands first, but in that case, a regular essence bottle would be better. 4. This might just be the product I received, but there were red stains on the upper part of the dropper. Even though it was a new product, it made me feel uneasy (see the first photo). 5. The price is quite expensive. For me, it wasn't hydrating enough, so I had to apply a separate essence. Overall, it had too many drawbacks, which was disappointing.

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.Pros• No worries about contamination thanks to the dropper format • Absorbs well and quickly • No blemishes during use (I'm prone to various skin issues and sensitivity) • The scent isn't overpowering • Not sure if it's just me, but my face seems a bit brighter Used it for a few more days and got one for my mom too This is what it means to turn on the face fluorescent light!!!!!✨ My face really brightened up!! At first I was skeptical, but it seems to work well!! Among other cosmetics that claim to brighten the face, reduce dark spots, etc., I've used them to the last drop but couldn't relate. I just thought, 'Ads will be ads~' But this is the first time I've seen such immediate effects!!!! People might not know about this because it's not available offline in our country or at Olive Young!! Really!!!! The effects are amazing!!!
Cons• The texture is too runny (not a typical serum consistency) • Not quite enough hydration or moisturizing effect • Difficult to control the desired amount with the dropper
Tip• Personally, I suddenly felt my face brighten • The key seems to be controlling the right amount • If you drop it on your face, it flows like water, so you need to absorb it quickly • If it becomes available domestically, I'd definitely repurchase!!!

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.ProsThe Ultra Glow Serum contains Vitamin C, E, and peptides. It has a slight yellow tint, likely due to the Vitamin C. The texture is like water, flowing easily. It's a hydrating serum without any rich feeling. This lightweight serum can be used year-round, even by those with oily skin, without feeling heavy. It absorbs well, doesn't cause irritation, and provides a nice boost of hydration. The packaging is made of glass.
ConsBecause of its water-like consistency, you need to be careful when dispensing with the dropper. It can easily run down if you're not careful.
TipIf you need extra hydration, feel free to layer it multiple times.
