Despite being a high-concentration vitamin C product, it doesn't cause much tingling and shows quick results. After using it for about 3 weeks, I couldn't really tell if my blemishes improved, but I noticed my pores becoming slightly more elastic around the 2-week mark.
ConsI had high expectations due to the great reviews, and while others mentioned the tingling sensation disappearing after a few days, I continued to experience it. Even with refrigerated storage, it persisted, so I discontinued use. Personally, I didn't see significant improvement in my blemishes either.

However, I was pleased to see my skin becoming more firm. I've been using it for about a month now. Around the halfway point, it seemed to be working, but then the effects plateaued, so I'm planning to try a different product. After application, there's a slight metallic scent left on my hands, similar to iron.
ConsOn days when I apply this after exfoliating, it stings so badly that I consider washing it off a thousand times. It seems to cause some redness too. While it appeared to be effective midway through use, my dark spots look unchanged. The formula is very watery before application, and once it dripped from the dropper into my eye - I had to rush to the bathroom immediately! Because it runs down the skin quickly before application, you need to pat it in swiftly with your hands. Also, it's impossible to gauge how much product is left in the container. Overall, the user experience is uncomfortable, so I'm considering discontinuing use and trying a different product. For those with sensitive skin, a patch test before use is absolutely necessary!
TipMake sure to store this in the refrigerator and only use it at night. During the day, always apply sunscreen. While it feels sticky, if you let it absorb and then layer a moisturizer on top, it becomes more comfortable!

ConsI think I'd see better results with consistent long-term use, but the price makes me hesitate.

As a long-time customer, I'm so grateful I thought the small size wouldn't last long, but surprisingly, even a little goes a long way in firming up the skin. It lasted me just over 2 months Inner Glow, dark spot improvement, overall complexion enhancement With consistent use, while it doesn't completely eliminate dark spots, I've seen noticeable fading and a significant improvement in my overall skin tone
ConsIrritation It can cause a tingling sensation when first applied, especially if your skin is in poor condition or if you have sensitive skin I recommend mixing it with a moisturizer or using it every other day
TipApply at night rather than during the day If you do use it during the day, sunscreen is an absolute must

ConsIt's a bit of a hassle having to store it in the refrigerator. The quantity is too small for the price.

When I first applied it, there was no tingling sensation, but it felt slightly sticky. As I continued using it, I noticed it could sting a bit depending on my skin condition. It's particularly tingly when I have blemishes or my skin is dry. The most noticeable effect was the improvement in my complexion. While it didn't do much for the dark spots around my eyes, it was great for evening out my overall skin tone. Plus, my skin texture improved, possibly due to increased elasticity.
ConsThe stickiness makes it challenging to use in hot weather. Also, since you shouldn't expose your skin to UV rays after application, you can only use it at night. There's also a concern about oxidation, so you need to use it up quickly. As a result, I end up applying several drops at once, which makes it quite sticky. I saw amazing results with the first bottle, but the noticeable effects decreased with the second and third bottles. At 15ml, the regular price of 50,000 won makes it quite expensive.
TipVitamin-based products work well when used with hydrating products. I found that applying The Vitamin C 23 generously and then immediately following with a hydrating mask allows it to absorb completely without any stickiness. It's much better than using a moisturizer.

ConsAfter using up one container, I feel like the effectiveness has gradually decreased. I'm wondering if I should take a break and then start using it again.
TipIt seems to make my skin more firm and elastic.

Rapid effects of pure Vitamin C This essence contains 23% Vitamin C in a water-based formula with a pH below 4, maximizing its activation. Pure Vitamin C is a proven antioxidant that works on the skin's surface, not just in the digestive system. It's potent but effective. You'll notice improved elasticity within the first week of use. It instantly tightens enlarged pores caused by mask-wearing and firms up the skin. By the time you've used half the bottle, you'll see a definite improvement in your complexion. 2. Suitable for skin types that have previously reacted to Vitamin C products (However, since Vitamin C can soften dead skin cells and cause deep dryness, it's recommended to use it with a moisturizer that supports hydration and skin barrier function) 3. Unlike many oil-based Vitamin C essences, this water-like essence offers a more pleasant user experience 4. Synergy with other ingredients Contains both Vitamin E and C, which slow down each other's oxidation and complement each other during skin absorption. Also includes other brightening ingredients like glutathione and niacinamide.
Cons1. High potential for irritation Vitamin C is known for its effectiveness but also its potential to irritate. Its efficacy is directly related to the chemical changes it causes in the skin. Those with sensitive skin may experience slight tingling upon initial use, and occasional sensitivity depending on skin condition. 2. Vitamin C naturally causes deep dryness and is an acidic, potentially irritating ingredient Despite additional moisturizing ingredients like oil and panthenol, it can still dry out the skin. Always follow up with hydrating and moisturizing products. You may feel dryness in the morning, especially outside of summer. Not recommended for: - Very dry skin (unless used with a sheet mask every time) - Weak skin barrier - Skin prone to redness - Highly sensitive or blemish-prone skin, or temporarily sensitized skin - Damaged or wounded skin (will cause intense stinging) For sensitive and dry skin, consider Vitamin C derivative products instead of pure Vitamin C to avoid potential issues like redness or blemishes. 3. Sticky texture characteristic of Vitamin C products Not recommended for those who dislike any stickiness. The finish is very tacky, not due to oiliness but more like dried soda on the skin surface, which can be unpleasant. Hands also feel sticky after application.
Tip1. Gradually introduce into your evening routine with adaptation and rest periods Don't apply Vitamin C during the day due to its photosensitivity. Start by using it every other evening, monitoring skin reaction. If no adverse reactions occur, use nightly for 2-3 weeks. Take a month-long break (matching the skin turnover cycle) before restarting. Instead of using multiple bottles consecutively, it's better for long-term antioxidant effects and skin barrier health to use it as an intensive treatment 2-3 times a year when skin is in good condition. 2. Recommended routine: Mildly acidic cleanser - Vitamin C serum - Hydrating serum - Moisturizer Vitamin C activates at pH 4 or lower and is very drying. Most cosmetics, including cleansers, are typically pH 7-8 (neutral or slightly alkaline). Alternating between acidic and alkaline products in one routine can irritate skin and neutralize the Vitamin C serum's pH, reducing its effectiveness. 📍Use a mildly acidic cleanser (around pH 5.5) followed immediately by the Vitamin C serum. Apply a thin layer once or twice, allow 4-5 minutes for absorption, then follow with a hydrating serum and moisturizing cream to combat deep dryness. Choose serums and creams focused on hydration and soothing, preferably with ingredients that support the skin barrier. For very dry skin, consider using a hydrating sheet mask over the Vitamin C 23 serum. 3. Avoid additional physical or chemical exfoliation The Vitamin C serum already provides chemical exfoliation, so don't add any more exfoliating products or methods during use. This includes even mild exfoliating skincare, pad cleansing methods, or cleansing brushes. Also avoid using after intense cleansing treatments like whitehead or blackhead removal. 4. Don't use after oxidation Vitamin C is unstable and sensitive to light and air, hence the small packaging. Use within 2 months, store in the refrigerator, and discard if it turns brown (indicates oxidation). 5. Pairs well with ceramide products Using it with Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Mask provides a pleasant experience and leaves skin feeling moisturized even in the morning.

It seems to brighten my skin and improve elasticity. The morning after using it, my skin feels more plump and radiant! It's also fantastic for deep hydration.
ConsIf you shake it incorrectly, it explodes like a carbonated drink, gushing out like a waterfall as soon as you open it. I accidentally shook it and wasted the product several times. If that's the case, why does the instruction say to shake before use?
TipIf you shake it too much, the product explodes and spills like a waterfall. If you want to shake it before use, I recommend pumping the dropper a few times instead.
