I can visibly see and feel the improvement, which is fantastic!
ConsThe quantity is too small. The one I bought before was a bit larger and had more product, but this seems to have decreased in amount. Maybe it's just my imagination?

The results were definitely noticeable in terms of brightening. I could visibly see the marks becoming lighter, and even stubborn spots that had lingered for a long time started to fade. However, that seems to be the extent of its effectiveness. You can expect the intensity of the marks to reduce from 100 to about 50-70 on a scale.
ConsIt keeps coming out. Once you squeeze it, it just keeps flowing. You need to close the cap immediately after use.

Think of it as a commitment for at least a year of consistent care to see real benefits Skincare is not just about the present, but prevention for the future
ConsAlmost no immediate effects Drawback of needing to use for at least a year Calculating the cost: 4,800 won per month, 57,600 won for 12 months Even if purchased at a discount, it's still about 500,000 won per year
TipApply a small amount over the entire face Then layer more on areas with scars for targeted treatment

I've been using it for about a month now, and I'm halfway through the bottle. For a brightening product, it's surprisingly hydrating. There's definitely a noticeable effect in fading blemishes. While I bought it hoping for overall tone improvement, it seems to excel more at clarifying the complexion and lightening dark spots or blemishes. To be honest, it's not going to dramatically change your skin tone from 23 to 21, but you can clearly see the brightening effect as it fades dark spots around the under-eye area and cheekbones. The most visible results appear in the first week of use. When I consistently applied it as part of my evening skincare routine for the first couple of days, I was thrilled to see my complexion noticeably brighten after just two days! However, that's about it... After using it for about ten days, the effects seem to plateau. If you stop using it, the dark spots seem to intensify again... Still, it's better than not using anything at all!
ConsDon't expect this to magically transform your skin tone from 23 to 21! That said, it's cheaper than the pricey Clinique option and has one more brightening ingredient. As for the packaging, well... I'm used to this ointment-style tube. I just keep squeezing until nothing comes out anymore! Once you get used to it, you'll figure out how to control the amount you squeeze out.
TipWell, it's not exactly a pro tip, but I've heard you shouldn't use this alongside products containing exfoliating ingredients like BHA or AHA. Apparently, when combined with brightening ingredients, it can make your skin more sensitive...

Rather than just making my skin look brighter, what I really loved was how it gradually faded my blemish marks and dark spots - exactly what I was hoping for. And for a brightening product, it's surprisingly non-drying, which is a huge plus!
ConsThe price is a bit of a downer. I'm currently using a free sample I received from a past event, but unless there's a major sale or you find an incredible deal, it can be quite a splurge.
TipMost brightening products tend to be drying, so it's crucial to pair them with good hydration. Also, it's best to apply brightening products in the evening when there's less sun exposure for optimal results.

The squeeze tube makes it convenient and clean to use. No blemishes appeared either. The best part is the noticeable brightening effect! It became apparent after about two months. I bought it for acne, but my complexion improved. My neck was originally darker than my face, but now my face has become even lighter! It seems to have evened out my skin tone.
ConsIt's not worth using. I bought it because I have severe acne scars, but there's no significant effect and it's not good value for money.

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.ProsI've been repurchasing this brightening moisturizer for 5 years now. With consistent use, my complexion has become brighter and it seems to reduce redness to some extent. People even comment on how fair my skin looks, so I think it's definitely effective. I stock up on it when duty-free shops offer discounts on sets of three.
ConsWhen I first started using it, it was hard to control the amount dispensed, which made the opening messy. Also, a hole formed in the middle where the tube folds, causing leaks later on. Now I make sure to create only a tiny opening and never squeeze from the end like toothpaste. Instead, I gently press the middle to dispense small amounts.
TipIn the morning, I apply a thin layer with my palms to prevent pilling under makeup. At night, I slather on a generous amount and cover it with aloe gel for a mask-like effect.

I was skeptical at first, but it's definitely worth the price! My skin texture feels smoother too! It works especially well on newer red scars. Even my mom, who sees me every day, asked why my face looks so much brighter and if my skin has improved!
ConsIt might be too oily for those with extremely oily skin (my skin is combination dehydrated, so products with oil don't cause blemishes for me). The formula contains retinol, so those with sensitive skin should avoid it.
TipDespite being only 30ml, it's highly concentrated so it doesn't feel like too little. Yes, it's pricey and I was hesitant, but I bit the bullet and bought it. Keep an eye out for Olive Young sales. Sometimes they offer this product in value sets - that's when I snagged mine on sale. Many people mention issues with dispensing, but if you're careful, there's no disaster. Just don't squeeze the tube too hard and apply small amounts with your fingertip. Close the cap quickly! Tube packaging always has its quirks. Only use this product at night. It's highly concentrated, so it might cause pilling under makeup, and ingredients like vitamin C and retinol aren't great with sun exposure. Always remember your sunscreen. Personally, I apply it all over my face for overall brightening, then add an extra layer on scars and pigmented areas.

It doesn't contain any particularly harmful ingredients, so it doesn't cause any blemishes on my face. It's great because it offers both brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits. I have acne-prone skin, and I've noticed that when I apply this after extracting whiteheads, it helps reduce the marks. However, after using it for so long, I think I've built up a tolerance and can't feel the effects as much anymore. That's a bit disappointing. Anyway, if you use it for more than 6 months, you'll definitely see results!
ConsWhen I apply it in the morning and put on makeup, there seems to be some pilling. It's a bit heavy, so I think it's better to only apply it at night!
TipMake sure to apply it as the last step in your routine and layer it thinly multiple times.

I bought it for brightening and applied a thin layer all over my face instead of just spot-treating, and it definitely made my dull complexion more radiant. It improved my skin texture and didn't cause any blemishes at all.
ConsThe price is on the higher side, but if you can find it on sale, there's nothing to complain about. There was some pilling initially, but I overcame it. At first, it was difficult to control the amount as it would come out in excess.
TipThe texture is ointment-like and a bit sticky, so I mixed it with a nearly oil-free toner to apply. If you're experiencing pilling, try this method. Also, it will obviously pill if you apply too much. The product instructions clearly state to apply a thin layer. It's not a cream texture, so be careful with the amount. Apply after your toner and emulsion have absorbed. For skincare products like this, you should use them for at least a month before judging their effectiveness. For those who feel a burning sensation, products with high vitamin content can cause temporary warmth on the skin, but this varies from person to person.
