I usually feel sensitivity with high-concentration niacinamide serums, but this one is suitable for daily use. I appreciate that it contains vitamin derivatives at the advertised concentrations. Brightening: The product combines various brightening ingredients with different mechanisms to reduce irritation and enhance effectiveness. It contains 1.5% (15,000ppm) ethyl ascorbic acid (a vitamin C derivative), 2% niacinamide, 0.5% tranexamic acid, and 0.1% arbutin. These ingredients work together to inhibit melanin production and transfer, and prevent melanin dispersion. The liposomal formula improves penetration of active ingredients, and the addition of vitamin E (tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate) creates a synergistic antioxidant effect. Impressive formulation! I noticed my face becoming brighter and clearer after use. It even helped restore my natural skin tone in areas where I had a slight tan. Firmness: Although I bought it primarily for brightening, I saw improvements in skin elasticity too! My face feels plump and bouncy. The product contains adenosine, along with peptides like palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and acetyl hexapeptide-8 (known as 'topical Botox') to boost collagen synthesis and reduce inflammation. Skin barrier support: I like that it includes some barrier-improving ingredients like ceramide NP, phytosterols, and lipid-bound peptides. Although in small amounts, these work well with soothing ingredients like panthenol and allantoin to minimize irritation. Packaging: The brown bottle helps prevent product degradation by blocking light transmission.
ConsRich texture: Like many vitamin serums, it has a slightly heavy, nourishing feel. It might feel a bit heavy for summer use, so consider using lighter moisturizing products alongside it. Difficult to gauge remaining product: The opaque bottle makes it impossible to see how much product is left. While it's great for protecting the formula, it's inconvenient not being able to check the remaining amount. Potential photosensitivity: Despite using derivatives, there might be slight photosensitivity. I recommend applying it at night. Be careful not to lie down immediately after application, as it may transfer to your pillow. Gradual results: Don't expect dramatic changes. Since it's not a high-concentration product, the effects are subtle. While I think it strikes a good balance between effectiveness and gentleness, some people might find the results less noticeable.
TipSince this product contains peptides, it's best to avoid using it with daily exfoliating toners that contain enzymes like protease, which can break down the peptides.

Somehow, I managed to snag this much-coveted ampoule... It had such great reviews, and even famous YouTubers were singing its praises. Many said it was excellent for those new to blemish serums. I've tried various blemish serums, ampoules, and creams, and I'd say this one hits the mark among them. I was a bit surprised by its heavier texture compared to other brands, but it absorbs well, so that was fine. The application is so-so. The scent is so-so. As for effectiveness, well, let's just say it was a 'hmm, okay' kind of experience.
ConsEven though I used a small amount, my skin felt congested. There was some greasiness, and it left a yellowish residue. After applying the ampoule and then moisturizer, it seemed they didn't play well together, causing some itchiness. In the end, I couldn't even finish the bottle and had to say goodbye to it. Also, the price isn't exactly wallet-friendly.

My skin type is oily with dehydration. The product has an oil-like ampoule texture and is quite rich. While I can't see the effects yet, the ingredients are great, so I'll keep using it for wrinkle-free, bright skin.
ConsThe oil-like ampoule texture and rich consistency felt a bit heavy and suffocating for my oily skin.
TipSince vitamin products shouldn't be exposed to sunlight, I only applied it at night.

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.ProsFirst, let me describe my skin type. I'm a man in my late 20s with combination dehydrated skin. I hardly have any blemishes, just some remaining pigmentation. My routine involves using a toner or pad, serum, and moisturizer both morning and night, with occasional oil cleansing for sebum control. Positives: 1. Price Thanks to Missha's frequent discounts, it's reasonably priced for a vitamin ampoule. 2. Hydration True to its 'ampoule' name, it has a sticky consistency and provides excellent hydration when applied. 3. Scent Honestly, I don't usually pay much attention to fragrance, but I enjoyed the lemony scent.
ConsAreas for improvement: 1. Even after using most of the product, I couldn't notice any improvement in my complexion or lightening of pigmentation. The rich texture sometimes made my skin tone appear worse on certain days. 2. The intense hydration can feel heavy. Occasionally, I experienced small blemishes. When using this product alone, I sometimes felt itchy.
TipThis product seems well-suited for those with dry skin. Overall, it's a good choice for anyone looking for a deeply hydrating ampoule.

Improves overall facial brightness 2. Seems to slightly fade minor blemishes 3. Ideal to use two or three times a week 4. The fresh citrus scent, likely due to citric ingredients, puts me in a good mood Based on my dry-skinned mother's experience: She says it works well without causing any blemishes!
ConsBased on my skin type: ... I only apply toner followed by serum (when using serum, I skip cream. If not using serum, I apply cream) 1. Face feels stuffy, as if something is trapped or layered on 2. Daily use leads to blemishes 3. Especially unsuitable in summer I bought this with high hopes, but it seems vitamin-related products aren't suitable for daily use! They cause blemishes for me!
TipTwo to three times a week!!! I could only apply it without causing blemishes by monitoring my skin condition.

After toner, pat it in and once absorbed, it leaves a slightly tacky layer. Absorption varies with skin dryness, but it feels more like a protective layer than a matte finish. Absorption rate: Not bad, but it really depends on your skin's condition that day - sometimes slower, sometimes faster. Scent: Fragrance-free, great for those with sensitive noses. Effectiveness: While it contains Vitamin C for brightening, don't expect dramatic results. However, there's a noticeable difference when using this before moisturizer. It leaves skin more supple and less prone to dryness over time. It excels more as a hydrating layer than a brightening treatment.
ConsOily skin types might find it a bit heavy in hot summer. It's better suited for dry skin or combination skin during transitional seasons. It would be nice if it absorbed a bit faster.
TipAfter workouts, I use aloe gel to tighten enlarged pores, but it can be quite drying. Mixing this ampoule with the gel amplifies the hydration, leaving my skin comfortably moisturized instead of dry. It works hard to keep my skin balanced!

The scent is refreshingly citrusy.
ConsSometimes the dropper doesn't work properly. While it absorbs quickly, it doesn't feel particularly light. In summer, it can occasionally feel a bit heavy on the skin.
TipI don't apply it in the morning. I only use it in the evening, away from sunlight. This is the proper technique for applying Vitamin C products. (It's said that strong UV rays can diminish its effectiveness.)
