It's good to apply during seasonal changes.
ConsThe artificial fragrance that pretends to be a floral scent is constantly irritating. It feels like the ointment smell lingers on my face all day long.

It leans a bit more towards being oily rather than moisturizing, but it is less heavy than very oily creams, so it seems adequate.
ConsㆍLike other reviews mentioned, it has an artificial vitamin-like scent.

But this one really glides on nicely and absorbs well, so I'm quite satisfied. I didn't buy this myself, I received it for free, so maybe that's why I like it even more. ㅋㅋ The effects remain to be seen, but it doesn't feel as drying, and my skin feels smoother. The packaging is also pretty.
ConsThe packaging is nice but a bit heavy. ㅎ Although the volume is stated, it looks like less than it actually is. ㅎㅎ The scent has an artificial vitamin-like smell, which I'm not a big fan of... but it's tolerable. I got this for free, and the reason the person who bought it gave it to me was that after using it, their face became red and swollen from a reaction. I didn't have any issues, but you might want to be careful.
TipIt's recommended to apply the Vitamin C skincare products with a light hand, layering it thinly and allowing it to fully absorb before following up with a moisturizer.

Perhaps that's why the moisturizing effect feels a bit lacking. There's a slight tightness when I apply this cream. The main strength of this cream is that it's non-sticky.
ConsThe application is nice, but perhaps that's why it lacks moisture. The fragrance also seems very artificial, like citrus.

This cream has an appropriate balance of oil and moisture. Based on my skin type, it worked well for me in spring and fall, and helped maintain the right oil-water balance on my face. 2. I used the tube-type product, which was more convenient to use compared to the jar-type cream. I could simply squeeze out the desired amount without needing a spatula, and since it's a vitamin cream, I felt the contact with air was minimized, which I liked.
Cons1. After applying, I felt a slight stinging sensation on my face. As my skin is quite sensitive, that may have been the reason. But because of this, I couldn't finish the whole jar. Although it's a vitamin product, the continuous stinging sensation was disappointing. For those with sensitive skin, I'd recommend trying a sample or tester first before purchasing. 2. The somewhat artificial citrus scent was a bit of a letdown. At first, it felt refreshing, but after a while, the scent turned into a tingling, sticky feeling. As I'm quite sensitive to cosmetic fragrances, I think this is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. 3. After using, my face felt like it had a film over it, which felt a bit stuffy for my combination skin type. If it had provided a bit more moisture like a water bank moisturizer, that would have been better.
TipSince this is a vitamin-infused cream with a bit of oiliness, I'd recommend using it at night.

When I apply it and sleep, my skin looks brighter the next day. In my case, I had some red marks left from acne scars, and this product definitely helped fade them faster (though they didn't completely disappear). It has a nice, smooth application and the moisture balance is just right for me - it felt hydrating. But my husband said it felt a bit oily to him. I'm happy with the spatula included in the product as well.
ConsThe scent is quite pungent and tart, almost like a mix of fizzy Fanta. The fragrance lingers for a very long time, which I'm not too fond of. While I did see some brightening effects, the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because of the texture. It makes my skin feel rougher, even though it's smooth when first applied. In the morning after washing my face, it feels quite coarse. I've tried stopping and then restarting use, but the issue persists. Since I don't seem to have as many issues as some others, I think my skin type may just not be the best match for this product.
TipAs this product may cause breakouts, it's best to do a patch test first.

I no longer get acne (except for 1-2 chin pimples during my menstrual cycle), but now the concern is scarring/marks on my oily skin! Before applying for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, I checked the cream's ingredients and saw that there were no components harmful for oily skin, so I was curious if it could help with acne 'marks' and uneven, dull skin tone. ✔️The application is very smooth. ✔️Despite having severely oily skin, I was surprised that there was not much oil buildup the next day after using it. ✔️There may have been an allergic reaction, as I noticed a painful, hard pimple under my chin and a small pimple on my cheek after the first night of use. But I decided to try it one more time, and sure enough, the cream caused more breakouts, so I discontinued use. ⭐️My mom also tried the product. Here is the review from my 50-year-old mom, who has combination skin with freckles and age spots: ✔️The cream spreads on the face like butter on bread. ✔️For the first 2-3 days, the skin felt plump and good in the morning, but after 4-5 days, there was no noticeable improvement, and the cream felt like it was sitting on top of the skin. ✔️There was no significant brightening of the complexion. ✔️Just an average cream ✔️The skin felt a bit more supple, that's about it.
ConsI wish there was no fragrance. It has a lemon powder-like scent.
TipHere is a comparison photo of the cream size next to AirPods. The volume is not very large.

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.ProsHere is the review of the product I received from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer: The packaging was the typical round, honey-like container with the signature Laneige color and design. Laneige is a brand that I'm really satisfied with when it comes to hydration products like lip balms, sleeping masks, and lip care, so I was curious to see if their Vitamin C cream would also be non-irritating and effective. Although I wanted to see the results after using it for more than 2 weeks, the delivery was delayed, so I only had about 10 days of usage to base my review on. On weekdays, I applied it in the morning before going to work at 7am, and right before bed around 11-12pm. On weekends, I only used it at night before bed. I used it in my routine after Etude House Baking Powder Cleanser, Witch's Factory Ampoule Toner, Witch's Factory Ampoule, and then the Laneige Radian-C Cream. I discontinued using any other creams during this time, as I found that using multiple creams often led to breakouts for me. I have a lot of freckles and dark spots, but not too much acne. I've avoided using products with more potent Vitamin C before, as they sometimes caused unwanted breakouts for me. However, I didn't experience any such issues while using the Laneige Radian-C Cream.
ConsThe product volume is quite small, though the packaging looks nice and premium. I suppose that's why the price seems high compared to the amount you get. It's almost inevitable for Vitamin C products to have some artificial fragrance added to mask the typical vitamin-y smell. Laneige's Radian-C Cream is no exception. Personally, I didn't mind the artificial fragrance too much. When I applied it morning and night, the scent dissipated fairly quickly. I used to have some prejudice against Vitamin C creams, as a previous product I tried left me with breakouts, and the vitamin-y smell lingered even after the artificial fragrance wore off. With the Laneige Radian-C Cream, even when I used more of it on the weekends, the fragrance would last until lunchtime the next day (I don't wear any other perfumes). Since I only had 10 days of usage, I may be able to provide a more detailed review later. But for now, I didn't notice any dramatic effects - no significant glow or fading of dark spots. It makes me wonder if Laneige is just hyping up this product. So I'm a bit torn - on one hand, I'm glad it didn't cause any irritation or breakouts. But on the other, I'm not sure if it's worth the money if the effects are so mild. Compared to Laneige's Sleeping Mask, which I saw results from in just a day or two, this Vitamin C cream seems less impressive.
TipYou make a good point - just like taking too much oral vitamin supplements can be harmful, using too much topical Vitamin C on the skin can also be problematic. It can clog pores and cause issues. Your recommendation to not use the Laneige Radian-C Cream together with other heavy creams is wise. Sticking to more soothing, hydrating products like toners and light moisturizers would be better, especially on days when the skin is already stressed from things like blackhead treatments or blemishes. It's better to err on the side of caution with potent active ingredients like Vitamin C, and focus on calming and replenishing the skin, rather than layering on too many treatment products. Moderation is key when it comes to incorporating Vitamin C into one's skincare routine. Your feedback on how the Laneige cream performed for you is helpful. Even though the effects were not dramatic, the fact that it didn't cause any irritation is a positive. Slow and steady improvement is sometimes better than instant but potentially problematic results. I appreciate you sharing your experience in detail.

It has a slightly thicker consistency than a lotion, somewhere between a moisturizing cream and a nourishing cream. The application was really smooth. 👍 🧡Hydration🧡 The hydration level is a bit lacking, so if you apply more, you can feel an oily sensation. Since I usually prefer lightweight and refreshing types, layering this with other base products would be better to achieve sufficient hydration. 🧡Effectiveness🧡 I had high expectations since this is a functional product, but the brightening effect was not as significant as I had hoped. 🥲 Since I only used one bottle, I think continuing to use it consistently might yield better results.
ConsThe volume is 30ml, which is a very cute size, but if you apply too much, it can leave a silicone-like, heavy feeling. I personally liked the fresh scent, but those who dislike artificial fragrances should take note!
TipSince this product contains vitamin ingredients for whitening, I recommend applying it in the evening.
