The absorption power is really good. Since I have dry skin, I need to apply it twice and then put on the cream. For most people, applying it once should be enough. 2. It has a nice glow. The subtle, beautiful glow is so nice.
Cons1. The scent is not great. As soon as I put it on my face, the strong scent hits me. It's like a strange, rotten fruit smell... Since I'm sensitive to fragrances, I didn't reach for it much. 2. For my dry skin, it wasn't moisturizing enough. It felt a bit more oily.

To sum it up in one word, I would say the Maraculza C Serum is a serum (oil) that doesn't feel tight on the skin. My skin is combination, making it difficult to balance oil and moisture, and it's also very sensitive to seasonal changes, so I often experience tightness. And if I apply too much, it can also cause breakouts. I've used the toner (The Lab by Blandeu) multiple times and just the Maraculza C Serum, and it didn't feel tight at all. However, it doesn't feel thoroughly moisturized either. It's more like an oil that absorbs smoothly and without stickiness. I've applied a small amount morning and night, and my skin tone has brightened. But without any treatments, there won't be a drastic brightening effect. I think it's a good vitamin C cosmetic product that you can expect some whitening benefits from. And since it's a single-ingredient formula, if you use it consistently while keeping the expiration date in mind, it seems like a pretty good product. I'm satisfied with it.
ConsThe product name is a bit disappointing. These days, they name products to highlight the key features, like 'Blemish Serum,' but Maraculza is too straightforward and not very friendly. And it feels more like an oil than a serum. The scent was a bit unpleasant, kind of like food waste? Haha (But it's not too strong, and the scent disappears right after application, so it's okay.)
TipIf your skin is extremely dry or you want to achieve a dewy skin look, apply the toner multiple times and thoroughly pat in a hydrating serum before finally applying a few drops of the Maraculza C Serum, gently pressing it into the skin. Those who need a cream can apply it on top, and it will leave the skin feeling moisturized without tightness. Even for oily skin types, this oil can be recommended as it's lightweight, doesn't sit on the surface, and absorbs well. However, using too much can cause some breakouts, so be mindful of the amount and avoid using it excessively on very oily areas.

First of all, I was happy to see that there were three items included when I first opened it! If it's just one big one with everything together, the portability would be lower, and if it doesn't fit, it's straight to the trash... I really liked those miniatures! At first, when I tried it right away, it was really... shocking. The smell.... it was like a sour plus oil smell... it was so strong that I went 'Ugh' as soon as I applied it, but after a few minutes, it got better.!.!! And that day, my makeup... it really absorbed well. I was really surprised at how well it absorbed!.!.! And when I came home and washed my face, I usually have sensitive skin, and if I use something that doesn't suit me, I break out right away, but this time, nothing happened! It was so smooth! I even felt like it had some pore-minimizing effect? That's when I realized... the smell is something I can get over..ㅎㅎㅎㅎ It really gave a nice glow, and it's clear that there are no harmful ingredients. It's so hard to find products that suit my skin, but thanks to Hwahae, I was able to get another great product!.!.!ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
ConsThe smell... it's too strong ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Other than the smell, it's really a 10/10, 100 points!
TipThe smell gets better as you keep using it! It starts to smell like tropical fruits.ㅎㅎㅎ I guess I got used to it...ㅎㅎㅎ I don't use a lot, just a couple of drops on my cheeks, but at first, I used too much and had to wipe it off a bit with my toner.!.! Using less is probably better?

ConsThe smell is too much like garbage, so it's burdensome.. The smell is bad, not like garbage... It really has a garbage smell... It's the inherent garbage smell...
TipBut the smell goes away after a while and it's okay... When I apply it, I have a strong aversion though....

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✨Skin Type My skin type is combination, and it's a bit sensitive, so when I apply essences or serums, I often don't use them because they make my skin itchy and turn red. But this product didn't cause any itchiness or redness, which was great. ✨Moisturizing When I apply it at night and go to sleep, my skin is really hydrated the next morning. Even when I apply it in the morning, it absorbs quickly, which is nice. ✨Texture It has a runny texture, and the product comes in a dropper bottle, so it's easy and hygienic to apply. At first, I was surprised that it felt a bit oily when I applied it, but it absorbed quickly, which was amazing. ✨Application The oil-based formula isn't too runny or too thick, so it applies nicely. If I use a small amount, it feels a bit sticky when I apply it, but it's still okay. ✨Brightening My skin does look a bit brighter, but I can't really tell a big difference just by looking at it. ✨Overall I'd recommend this to anyone with combination, oily, or dry skin, especially those with dry skin. For dry skin types, I'd suggest applying a generous amount at night and then just a few drops in the morning after cleansing.
ConsAt first, I was a bit surprised by the scent when I applied it. I'm sensitive to scents, and the smell wasn't really my preference, so it was a bit unpleasant. But the scent dissipated quickly, so it wasn't a dealbreaker. Also, the price is a bit high, so it might be a burden for some.
TipIf you want to achieve a dewy, glowing skin look, apply a few drops of this product after your toner or lotion, and then start your makeup routine. This will help the makeup application and finish look more radiant.

My skin type is oily. When I first received this, my skin was completely turned upside down that day, with tons of bumps and unevenness... But after applying the serum, doing a face mask, my skin texture definitely felt improved. I'm quite oily, so I can't use this during the day, but it seems perfect as a night care serum. Mixing the serum and cream a bit and applying it thickly before bed, my skin was amazing the next day. Makeup also applies well and looks great!
ConsThe smell... I can usually tolerate strong scents in cosmetics, but this one was a bit too much for me. So I held my breath and patted it in really quickly to get it absorbed.
TipIt's great to mix with a cream and apply in the evening!

Portability! First of all, it was stored in a 5ml container, so it was good for hygiene, and it was in a dropper format, so it was convenient and good. It was the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand and fit perfectly in a pouch. ✌🏻Spreadability, Oiliness As it is an oily product, the spreadability was good! After applying, it had an oily glow, and even when applied before a cushion or foundation, it did not dry out and had a moisturizing effect.
Cons😥Scent It smelled like flowers at first, but then it had a disgusting cooking oil smell! The scent went away over time, but I think it would be difficult for those sensitive to scents to use. 😥Absorption After applying, it didn't absorb very well, and I don't think I could go out just by applying it alone. 😥Pimples My skin type tends to change depending on the weather, and it changed from combination to dry, and it seems the oil-moisture balance was disrupted, and pimples appeared on my cheeks!
TipI used it anytime before makeup! I did my basic skincare routine in the order of skin-serum-lotion or cream, so my makeup applied well. ㅎㅎ

ConsIf you don't control the amount properly, it can feel a bit too oily. And while I was fine with it, the scent might be a bit unpleasant for some!
TipWhen mixed with a moisturizer, it feels like it spreads more evenly on the face!

That's why I couldn't even go near oil-based products, and whenever I tried to apply them, I would break out in acne. I didn't know how to apply them properly, and even when I did, the products just seemed to sit on my skin without absorbing. Luckily, I received 3 samples of 5ml each! * Texture: It's not heavy at all, very light and applies smoothly!! I didn't feel burdened using it at all, and I loved it. * Before and After: As you can see, my face was a bit red and dull, but after using it consistently for about 2 weeks, it's become brighter! * Acne: I was really worried about this, to be honest. Since I have such an oily complexion, I was concerned it might cause breakouts. I checked the ingredients and there are no harmful components. At first, I applied it on my nose too, but I got a lot of milia, so I stopped applying it there and it's been better! Honestly, even though I'm oily, I'm desperate for a glowy, dewy complexion. Whenever I use radiant foundation, I break out immediately. But with this, I don't get acne, and it gives me a nice, hydrated look. I love it! 💕
Cons* At first, the fragrance was really strong when I applied it, it had this strange, overpowering passionfruit smell. But if I kept massaging it in, the scent became more tolerable. * When I saw the price, I was really shocked. I double-checked, but that can't be right... Honestly, I'd be confident buying the full size if I finish these samples, but the price point is just too high for me to even consider it.

My skin type is combination!! First of all, it's really moisturizing. After applying it and sleeping, my skin feels so soft and smooth when I wash my face the next day!! It feels incredibly moisturizing the moment you apply it! Since my skin is a bit sensitive, I was worried that it might cause breakouts, but I was very satisfied that there were no breakouts. It's that gentle! The dropper is not too soft, so adjusting the amount is relatively easy. The moisturizing effect is really great, and that's the part I liked the most. It's not too greasy at all, just perfect!
ConsThe smell was too unpleasant for me ㅠㅠ There was a slightly fishy smell that came up every time I applied it, but I endured it because everything else was good.
TipIf you apply it before bed and sleep, you can get a soft and smooth skin the next morning after washing your face!! I was very satisfied that my makeup went on well the day after applying it!
