I was hoping it might also help with pigmentation, so I used it diligently morning and night as soon as I got it. On the first day, my face flushed and felt slightly stinging right after application. A light redness came up. When I tested it on the inside of my wrist before using, it was fine. I was about to stop using it, but decided to give it a bit more time. The redness also came up when I applied it a second time that first evening. From the second day on, there was no more redness and it was fine. The freckles do seem to look a bit lighter, but that could just be my imagination. Overall, the skin in the areas I applied it to does seem brighter. I used it consistently morning and evening for about 4 days, but in my case, since the pigmented areas are quite widespread, the product was already running low by days 4-5. This product seems more effective for preventing pigmentation, like after a breakout or laser treatment, rather than for existing, well-established pigmentation.
ConsThe scent is unique and divisive, leaning more towards disliked. But since it's a gel formula, the scent dissipates quickly, so it didn't bother me even when using it as part of my morning makeup routine. Based on the onion extract as the main ingredient, the slightly sharp scent is reminiscent of onions.
TipThis product seems better suited for use as an aftercare treatment after getting a professional pigmentation laser treatment, rather than for directly treating existing freckles. The price is not extremely high, but the volume is also not very large. Compared to other post-treatment products, this one still seems to offer good value.

Thank you so much for this wonderful chance. 🌱 Texture: It applies a bit more lightly than Niacinamide or gel-type products. When squeezed out of the tube, it has a smooth, creamy consistency. A small amount can be spread evenly across the face without any major issues. I think it will last a long time. 🌱 Improvement: I haven't been using it for very long, but if you check my previous reviews, you'll see that I've been using it for a while and have left additional feedback.❗️ I'll continue using it and provide an evaluation. However, I did apply it generously on some recent blemishes and redness, and the next day the redness had faded a bit, making it easier to cover with makeup. 🌱 Makeup Compatibility: Personally, I prefer a more natural, non-matte base makeup look (without using powder). This product works well with my routine, so I think I'll be reaching for it frequently..! This is probably my favorite aspect of the product.
Cons🌱 Fragrance: It has a slightly similar scent to the Whamisa cream, a sort of perm-like aroma, but it's not overpowering and dissipates quickly, so it's fine.
TipI apply it as the last step before bed, spreading it evenly and applying a thicker layer on the areas of concern. I avoided applying it directly on my active breakouts.
