For best results, apply twice with a 3-minute interval between applications.

While it didn't cause any blemishes, the effects were minimal. Make sure to apply generously.

This brightening essence has a water-like, lightweight texture that's perfect for summer application. It doesn't cause any tingling and feels just like applying a hydrating essence. When you layer it twice, it gives a similar sensation to other vitamin C essences - slightly heavier and more substantial. However, if you finish with a moisturizer, it feels comfortable again.

카카두C 잡티 세럼

Although there's a subtle feeling of the complexion brightening, you don't get a dramatic sense of your skin tone becoming lighter.

※ Texture and Consistency
It's a transparent liquid with a slight viscosity. When applied to the skin, it tends to run a bit, but the thickness allows for easy application without spreading too quickly. It's not completely watery, which gives it a slightly moisturizing feel.

※ Application and Absorption
Despite its viscosity, it's not watery, making it pleasant to apply. It feels moisturizing, but can become sticky if layered multiple times or combined poorly with other products. Due to its consistency, it doesn't absorb rapidly, but it doesn't sit on top of the skin either.

※ Fragrance
It's fragrance-free, with no particularly noticeable scent.

※ Efficacy and Results
While the brightening effect isn't dramatic, there's a subtle sense of the complexion becoming lighter. Rather than completely eliminating pigmentation, it seems to fade it slightly. On the plus side, it's less irritating compared to other vitamin C products.

I couldn't really notice any improvement in blemishes as claimed. Perhaps due to the vitamin content, the opening of the container gets dirty quickly

As someone with dry skin, I often experience deep dryness after cleansing, but this product applies smoothly and I didn't feel much dryness at all

I didn't notice any significant brightening effect on my complexion.

1. Ingredients: I appreciated that the first ingredient was cacao plum extract instead of purified water.
2. Comparison: Compared to other vitamin products, this one had a thinner consistency, which made it feel like it absorbed faster and was lightweight to use.
3. Price: Many vitamin products with purified water as the first ingredient are quite expensive, but About Me's product offers a generous amount at a reasonable price.

Make sure to let it absorb well into your skin.

There's not much to complain about, but in summer it can feel a bit heavy on the skin.

As someone with dry skin, I find this product wonderfully moisturizing and hydrating. It leaves my skin feeling supple and doesn't cause any blemishes.

While it may help with brightening, it doesn't seem to have any other noticeable effects.

The amount is generous, and it seems to be helpful for brightening the complexion.

- For someone with combination dehydrated skin like me, it only provides hydration, making it more suitable for summer use rather than winter

- No irritation
- Fragrance-free
- The container isn't heavy
- Feels refreshing

I've only used it a few times so far... If it doesn't cause any blemishes, it might be worth using regularly.

It absorbs well and feels comfortable on the skin when applied. I also found the scent quite pleasant.

I only use it at night. When I tried using it in the morning and applied other cosmetics on top, it seemed to make my makeup look slightly white and patchy.

It absorbs well, spreads smoothly on the skin, and leaves a refreshing feeling.

It's gentle on the skin, so you can apply it during the day, but make sure to follow up with sunscreen!

However, when it comes to dark spots and pigmentation, you need to apply skincare products consistently for a long time to see results, so that's a bit disappointing.

First off, it's great value for money! It contains vitamin derivatives and even niacinamide, so it's packed with everything that helps brighten your complexion. I've noticed my skin tone has indeed become lighter.

I use it alongside a Houttuynia Cordata toner, which is effective for soothing the skin. Using them together might be great for reducing dark spots!
My routine: Houttuynia Cordata toner - Houttuynia Cordata serum / Kakadu Plum spot-correcting serum (used in parallel) - Himalaya cream

It seems to contain some oil, as after applying the serum, there's a slight sheen on the face. Those with oily skin should be cautious!!
I didn't experience any blemishes from using the serum though.

The scent isn't particularly off-putting, but there's a faint, slightly musty fragrance...

Here's my review after using this serum for a month, thanks to winning it on Hwahae.

I'm not sure if it's the serum's effect, but lately, with increased mask usage due to COVID, I've been getting blemishes on my nose bridge and around my mouth where the mask touches. However, these blemishes have subsided!!

The serum absorbs quickly when applied after toner.

Using this serum can help you achieve that coveted Inner Glow complexion.
