My skin is sensitive, but this product has no irritation and is really great. I can tell the difference when I use it and when I don't, so it's a must-have item for me.
ConsIt would be better if it was a little cheaper. It's not actually that expensive, but it's a bit of a shame, as I was told to try it...

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsWhen I first used it 6-7 years ago, the spot-reducing serum lived up to its name - my blemishes faded significantly and my complexion brightened. I didn't look either younger or older, but back then I appeared about 10 years younger. I used to mix SK-II Clear Lotion, SK-II Treatment, Isoyi Bulgarian Rose Serum, and cream, and then switched to using the full Isoyi set for about 2 years.
ConsBoth then and now, the moisturizing effect is a bit lacking. I used other products for a few years before coming back to it, and I'm on my second bottle, but this time I don't feel like my face is brightening at all. Did the whitening certification get revoked? The price also seems to have gone up a bit.
TipTry using the full set line once. I remember the synergistic effect was really noticeable when I first used it.

I can see why the Blemish Serum is a bestseller. My skin used to have freckles and look dull, but after using it for about 3 months, the blemishes have faded a bit and my complexion looks brighter. It absorbs well, so it's easy to use morning and night.
ConsWith Isoi's other basic skincare products, the natural ingredients seem to make the absorption rate quite slow, so you have to wait for it to be fully absorbed before using the next product.
TipThe Marionnaud large size lasts a really long time, but most Isoi products have a recommended 6-month shelf life after opening, so lately I've been recommending the 30ml size that's on sale, buying 3 of them.

ConsWhen using the large 70ml size for an extended period, the color seems to change, becoming yellowish like a wilting rose.
TipWhen I have acne, just using this serum and a moisturizer seems to calm it down.

It absorbs well and is easy to use. I can feel my skin getting brighter after using it. It seems like they only use gentle ingredients, which is great.
ConsI bought it during a sale, but even then, the price-to-volume ratio is too high. I'm hesitant to repurchase. The results aren't as dramatic as the ads and promotional content suggest. While the quick absorption is a plus, it also means my skin doesn't feel as moisturized. I'll probably need to use a follow-up cream.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI bought the 70ml large size Marimo collaboration product for less than 60,000 won, which originally came with a 30ml bonus. I've been using the smaller one first, and now I've opened the bigger one. I have some blemishes and a few light freckles on my cheeks. While I didn't take before photos to objectively evaluate how much the freckles and acne scars have faded, I can definitely feel that my overall complexion has become brighter. The rose scent is absolutely wonderful, and the transparent gel formula applies so smoothly. I use one pump before makeup, and two pumps before skincare. It doesn't feel heavy or oily at all, and it absorbs instantly, leaving my skin feeling so refreshed and comfortable. It layers well under other creams, serums, or foundations without any issues. It's deeply absorbing yet still provides good hydration. I've tried the Goodal Citron Serum too, but I personally like this one better. The scent is just so lovely. ♡
ConsNone, haha. Please release 100ml and 200ml large sizes in the future!
TipThis is a whitening product, so you should use separate hydrating or anti-aging serums and ampoules. Haha.

As a result, my acne scars are left dark or reddish, which is really stressful for me. So I purchased a serum that was said to help lighten the scars. To put it bluntly, it did work. It was not an easy purchase, as the price was quite high, so I really researched a lot before buying it. When I saw the before and after photos in the reviews, I was like, 'Wow, can it really get rid of scars that much?!' So I bought it, a bit skeptically. It's been about 2-3 months since I started using it, and the results vary for each scar. Some scars have faded a lot, some have disappeared a little, and some have just become a bit lighter. It seems the older scars take a bit more time. But the difference is definitely noticeable. When I wake up in the morning after applying it before bed, many of the scars have significantly faded. And with consistent use, I can really see the scars lightening. The main benefits are: 1. The acne scars have faded quite a bit. 2. There is a whitening effect with consistent use. These two benefits are quite simple but visually evident. However, you have to use it consistently and frequently!! I saw a review saying not to just use it once a day, but to reapply it throughout the day, so I've been doing that. I apply it twice a day after washing my face in the morning and evening, and on my rest days when I'm home, I dab it on the reddened areas to let it absorb.
ConsAs for downsides, I don't really have any. Some people said it feels a bit oily, but I have extremely oily skin and the oiliness doesn't really bother me whether I use it or not, as my skin is already quite oily in general. If I really had to nitpick, the only 'downside' is that you have to buy it during sale periods.
TipAs I mentioned before, you really have to use it frequently. I definitely plan to repurchase, and I'll try to stock up during sales. Also, there's a cream in the same Bulgarian line that I use together with the serum. Using them together seems to make the scars fade even faster.

Cons- The only downside is that the pump dispenses too much product at once, so it needs to be adjusted.

While I can't make the existing freckles disappear, I'm using this product to prevent them from getting worse. It definitely stopped the freckles from increasing and the lighter ones have been fading. My complexion also looks brighter. It's expensive but it's worth it. I tried the sample sent by Aesop and everything seemed to work well.
ConsThe pumping seems to get stuck, making a sputtering sound. But it does pump well sometimes..
