I received this as a sample and gave it a try. I was initially worried about potential skin reactions due to the high concentration of niacinamide, but surprisingly, it turned out to be quite gentle and had a nice texture. Despite its potency, the formula doesn't feel heavy at all. It has a water-like consistency that absorbs well into the skin! I've only been using it for two days, so it's too early to see a significant reduction in blemishes, but I believe with consistent use, they will gradually fade.
Cons
The main drawback is the price, which seems a bit high for the amount you get. However, I think the effectiveness might justify the cost, so I'm planning to purchase it with my own money next time.

As it's a high-concentration product, I experienced blemishes when using it alone on bare skin. Now I mix it in a 1:1 ratio with another serum for application.
Cons
Due to its high concentration, it caused blemishes and my skin reacted badly. However, mixing it with another product worked fine.

Despite containing niacinamide, it has a remarkably light texture without any heaviness. The formula is slightly lighter than Dermafactory's niacinamide serum. Compared to Dr. Diffuse's niacinamide, it's noticeably lighter to the point where you can clearly feel the difference.
Cons
No significant drawbacks. The only minor disappointment was its surprisingly small size compared to other brands, especially considering I ordered it as part of a free shipping deal.

The price is expensive, but if you just apply this and sleep, your skin texture visibly improves when you wake up...ㅠㅠ
Cons
I am intelligent, but there was nothing particularly regrettable. When it touches the wound, it stings.
Tip
Using it together with other brands' vitamin C ampoules seemed to have a greater synergistic effect.

Everyone knows that the product is good.... Even if you just apply it before going to bed for one day, you'll see a noticeable difference the next day!! I sometimes get adult acne, and when it looks a bit inflamed, I apply it and go to sleep, and it calms down. That's when I use it. The smell is much better than The Ordinary Niacinamide! I think the smell is not too strong at this point.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's because I only apply it when I'm flushed, but that area is very hot and slightly stinging! If you have thin and sensitive skin, be careful (I have oily skin).

After using it for more than 5 tubes, the spreadability is good and the pores do seem to be tightened.
Cons
After use, there is a slight feeling of dryness on the skin. The price is somewhat on the higher side.

I've been using it for over 10 years. While I'm satisfied with all Hwahae products, this one is particularly highly recommended. I've tried many niacinamide products, but this one has no irritation according to my standards, and it leaves my skin plump and firm, like applying a concentrated ampoule. I've recommended it to all my acquaintances, and they're all satisfied with using it.
Cons
There are no particular shortcomings, but when the courage is used up, the last remaining one is turned over and shaken out... Yet, it seems a little is left, so it's a pity.

The yellow-colored product was applied only to the areas with large pores like the T-zone, and it was not overly irritating.
Cons
The price is a bit high, and there is a slightly sticky feel to the usage, plus I didn't see much of an effect, which is disappointing.

The product has a slight oiliness, providing good spreadability and decent absorption.
Cons
The noticeable effects are still unclear, but it seems that continued use would be beneficial.
