Pros
I tried a sample, but unfortunately, there wasn't anything positive to report. The sample was enough to form my opinion.
Cons
I used the sample like a toner, applying it with a cotton pad. However, it didn't absorb into my skin at all and just sat on the surface. Wondering why it wasn't absorbing, I touched my face and found it left an oily residue, so much so that I ended up washing it off. Thankfully, it dissolved well in water, so I could remove it easily with just water. Nevertheless, I don't think I'll be using this product again.

Pros
Here's my honest review after finishing an entire bottle: This essence feels like a thin liquid that lacks hydration and just feels overly oily. It has a slippery texture that pills on the skin, and I couldn't notice any real benefits. I probably won't repurchase it.
Cons
Brightening effect: Despite claiming to have brightening properties, I couldn't see any difference even after using up the whole bottle. There was no noticeable improvement in my complexion the next day or any other visible changes. Texture: The slippery feeling is really off-putting. After applying it to my face, it leaves such an intense greasy shine that I absolutely have to wash my hands - it's like I've coated them in oil. This is by far the worst aspect. It feels like I've applied sunscreen to my hands. It doesn't absorb well into the skin and pills excessively.

Pros
The Galactomy Niacinamide Essence gives a temporary brightening effect when applied
Cons
The essence feels a bit heavy and seems to sit on the skin rather than absorbing fully

Pros
- The lightweight formula didn't feel like it was clogging my pores.
Cons
- Many reviews claimed it wasn't sticky and was light, making it easy to apply. However, when I actually used it, while it has a watery texture and feels light, it doesn't absorb well into the skin and tends to sit on the surface. It takes a long time to pat it in for absorption. - Even after absorption, there's a slick, oily feeling left on the surface, making it difficult to layer other products. - I completely stopped reaching for it, and it ended up becoming a neglected item in the corner of my skincare collection.

Pros
I bought this product because I received a sample to try. I had high hopes for the niacinamide, which is said to help with brightening. However, with just the sample amount, it was difficult to notice any significant changes. If I get the chance, I'd like to use it more consistently to see better results.
Cons
The product made my skin extremely greasy. Instead of feeling like it was absorbing into my skin, it seemed to just sit on the surface. Perhaps because of this, my skin actually felt dry as well.

Pros
It's amazing how different my skin feels when I use this versus when I don't. It really helps combat deep dryness.
Cons
My sister with oily skin was disappointed, saying it felt like it just sat on top of her skin.

Pros
It definitely seems effective for brightening. Using it alongside other products, I've gone from shade 23-21 to now using a 13 cushion foundation, despite my yellowish undertone. The photo shows me slightly tanned from travel, around a light 21 to dark 19 shade. The price is reasonable, and it adequately manages facial dryness.
Cons
However, despite having dry skin, it feels too oily and seems to sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing quickly. Also, due to slight itching, if it didn't have significant brightening effects, this could have been a regrettable purchase.
Tip
Try mixing it into a modeling mask to reduce itching. Just squeeze in a few drops when you're preparing the mask.

Pros
I've used about half of the product, and overall, it's unfortunate that it didn't suit my skin well. I typically use essences or ampoules for their functional benefits and hydration, but this one didn't meet either of those needs for me. The texture is water-like, so I expected it to be moisturizing and absorb well. However, when applied, it caused a slight burning sensation and felt like it was sitting on top of my skin, making absorption difficult. On the bright side, compared to other brands, the ingredients are gentle and clean, so even though it didn't suit me, I didn't experience any blemishes, which was good. Fortunately, other products from the same line that I purchased work well for me, and I'm using them happily.
Cons
What particularly didn't work for me was that when applied, it didn't feel very moisturizing, but instead caused a slight burning sensation and felt like it was just sitting on top of my skin.

Pros
The product flows like water, making it lightweight and perfect for daily use. Personally, I didn't notice any fragrance at all. It seems to absorb rather quickly. The formula is gentle, so I didn't experience any blemishes after using it.
Cons
You need to be careful with the amount you apply. If you use a bit too much, it doesn't absorb into the skin well, and the oil components tend to sit on the surface. I found I needed to apply a separate hydrating moisturizer to avoid dryness.
Tip
It's best to let the essence absorb fully before applying any other products.

Pros
The texture is so watery that I used it instead of toner in winter. It definitely gives a refreshing feeling to the skin, making the complexion feel revitalized.
Cons
I felt like the essence was sitting on top of my skin rather than absorbing well. It's not sticky, but it's as if there's a film on my skin...?
