The vitamin C stimulation usually appears on my skin the very next day, and I thought it might not be good to use it for too long after opening, so I applied it not only under my eyes but all over my face. The next day, there was not a single blemish, and my skin looked unusually bright and my pores seemed a bit smaller. I thought there would be some irritation since I felt a warming sensation when applying it, but there was no irritation at all... What is this? What is this?? I saw the instructions saying to use it in the morning too, and I was amazed to see the immediate brightening effect on my skin after using it. I think I'll keep using this product consistently.
ConsThe price... I didn't realize it would be this expensive; and haha, the immediate brightening effect... that was due to the titanium dioxide in the formula... But among Kiehl's products, this was the second-best option for me after the Calendula Toner.
TipIf there's a sale and the price becomes more affordable, I'd recommend this vitamin C product for those with vitamin C-sensitive skin who want to try a vitamin C product.

I'll leave a review after using it for a week😊 Although it's called a serum, the product looks more like a cream I was pleasantly surprised that Vitamin C products have a dedicated eye formula The scent is a subtle lemon fragrance I liked that there was no irritation There is a slight warming sensation, but it's just a mild tingling The pump packaging is really cute and convenient to use Unlike my previous eye cream, this applies smoothly without any stickiness So I guess this is an eye serum Personally, I really enjoyed the usage experience It feels nourishing without weighing down the eyes, and has a nice firmness to it So it's easy to incorporate into my skincare routine After using it for a week, I'm not sure if there are visible changes in my wrinkles yet There is a difference in hydration and a slight brightening, but for the wrinkles I'm not sure if the effects are immediately apparent But I think with continued use, the benefits will become more clear Overall, this seems like an excellent product for eye care😆
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing I thought I couldn't use it in the morning since it's a Vitamin C product, but it turns out I can It's actually recommended to use it both morning and evening
TipApply before your essence! The eye area is delicate, so be gentle when applying

The pump packaging was also appreciated for its hygienic aspect. After using it for a little over a week, I didn't notice any drastic changes, but my skin seems to have become slightly brighter! The best part is that since my eyes are quite sensitive, there is absolutely no irritation. The absence of eye stinging or discomfort when applying the product is its biggest advantage!
ConsThe pump packaging was a bit tricky to control the amount at first. It would sometimes dispense a large amount at once when pressed firmly. The thick texture means that you have to layer it in small amounts multiple times, otherwise it can feel heavily applied. It also takes a bit of patting to fully absorb, which is a minor inconvenience.

Soft and supple texture I really liked the fact that there is almost no oiliness. I recently purchased a famous eye cream from Hwahae, but it was too oily, and the product would spread and seep into my eyes, causing irritation and clogging the pores underneath. However, this product stays exactly where I apply it, and the staying power is excellent. 2. Good ingredients Despite being a vitamin-concentrated product, it felt very gentle, and I didn't experience any breakouts. For an eye cream, the ingredients seem to be of good quality. 3. Absorption It gets absorbed quickly just by tapping or gently massaging the applied area, and the long-lasting hydration makes me think the moisturizing function is good as well.
ConsI didn't have any particular disappointments. However, as the product description states, improving dark circles is likely difficult to achieve with a cosmetic product, so aside from that, it seems like a decent product!

The texture felt slightly firm, but it applied smoothly and did not feel sticky. There was no irritation, and I was able to first apply it around the eyes and then use the remaining product to gently pat the area around the nose and mouth. It helped with moisturizing and preventing wrinkles around the eyes.
ConsWhile I didn't notice any significant changes, the overall comfortable usage experience made me feel it was worth continuing to use the product.

It has a slightly thicker texture rather than a sticky feeling. The application was smoothly good. When applied to the eye area, which has the characteristic oily skin, it was absorbed refreshingly without any tightness or dryness the next day. However, there was an initial warm sensation, and I wondered if my hands were hot, but I felt the warm sensation when I applied the formula to my eyes. In fact, the warm sensation when patting it on seems to help with absorption, and I hardly felt any stickiness.
ConsThe spreadability was a bit disappointing. When applied directly to dry skin, it gave a slightly slippery (?) feeling, so I rolled it on the back of my hand to melt it a bit before applying it to the eye area. If you have a dry skin type, you should apply a generous amount of base skincare before using this.
TipRolling it a bit on the back of your hand before applying seems to help it absorb faster without needing too much patting.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. To get straight to the point, there are no dramatic effects. Well, that's the case with most skincare products, isn't it? It might help prevent some wrinkles from forming, as a preventative measure. As for the usage experience, there's an immediate warm, cozy feeling when you apply it. So I wondered if it would be okay to apply around the eyes, but I didn't feel any irritation. My eyes didn't sting at all. And it's not like there's an overwhelming sense of moisture, but there's a kind of thin film that forms on the skin, almost like silicone. It's not a transparent, moisturizing film, though. I've been using it for just over a week now, and haven't experienced any side effects. As for the effects, I'm not too sure yet. I haven't really noticed any particularly great effects from eye creams in the past. Some have even stung my eyes, but this one seems to be gentle on the eyes, which is good.
ConsI had great results with the Kiehl's Vitamin Essence in the past, so I had high expectations for this one as well. The Vitamin Essence had a stinging, warming sensation when applied, but my skin looked amazing the next day. So I was hoping for something similar, but... I guess my expectations were too high. Using it only around the eyes, how dramatic of an effect could I expect? Also, I think this might be difficult for those with sensitive skin to use. Even though I have a relatively thick skin type, I can still feel the warming sensation when I apply this.

I tend to avoid products with irritants or poor ingredients. I was able to try the Hwahae Trial Reviewer eye serum, and I was pleased that it didn't cause any significant irritation or breakouts. ⭐️Texture and Application When I first received it, the texture was different from what I had expected. I thought it would be a runny serum, but it was actually more like a slightly rich eye cream texture. I was a bit concerned that it might feel thick when applying, but it actually spread smoothly and absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it easy to apply the next skincare step. ⭐️Hydration The hydration is there, but it doesn't leave a tacky or greasy finish, so those with dry skin might want to use a cream as well. But for me, I was able to use this alone without an eye cream and it worked well. I think it would be suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin types. ⭐️Dark Circle Improvement I've only been using it for a little over a week, so I'm not sure about the dark circle improvement yet. But I'm hoping to see some brightening effects with continued use, even though my dark circles aren't too severe.
ConsThis is more of a personal preference issue rather than a product flaw, but the texture is the one aspect I'm a bit unsure about. I generally prefer more lightweight, runny textures in my skincare, so the slightly richer consistency was a bit disappointing. However, it does absorb well and applies nicely. Also, if I use a bit too much, I can feel a slight warming sensation, but it's not an intense or painful heat and goes away quickly. Applying a smaller amount resolves this. Another potential downside is the price-to-volume ratio, which may make repurchasing a consideration. Overall, though, I think it's a good, low-irritation product.
TipIf you experience a slight warming sensation like I did, try reducing the amount you apply.

Smooth Application I thought the eye serum would have a thin texture, but it's actually quite dense. However, it applies well and absorbs nicely when patted in. 2. No Eye Irritation Some eye creams can be quite oily, and if the product doesn't suit you, it can get into your eyes and make your vision blurry, leaving an uncomfortable foreign body sensation. But this product is gentle on the eyes. 3. Moisturizing After application, a small amount leaves the undereye area feeling nicely hydrated. It's more of a nourishing, creamy moisture rather than just a watery sensation. 4. No Milia Formation Lightweight eye creams sometimes don't provide enough protection for the undereye area, while rich, expensive eye creams can often lead to milia formation. As someone who has tried many eye creams, I haven't experienced any milia after using this for about a week.
Cons1. Slight Warmth Sensation Since I have sensitive skin, I may be more prone to this, but I do feel a slight warmth. However, it's not an intense or uncomfortable sensation.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsNo irritation Thicker than expected It says you can apply it in the morning too The usage feel is good based on the Hwahae Trial Reviewer criteria I had the impression that since it contains vitamin C, it would be quickly absorbed and have a lightweight feel, but that's not the case It's not oily and can be considered a just-right moisturizing eye cream Eye creams can sometimes make your vision blurry after application, but this one doesn't have that issue The usage feel is good
ConsThe volume is too small, only 15ml... I thought it was a sample The price is high compared to the volume I use it hoping the vitamin C will be effective Honestly, I don't even expect dark circles to disappear just by using an eye cream lol I always think cosmetics are just cosmetics As long as it doesn't irritate my eyes and doesn't dry them out, I consider it the best cosmetic And in that aspect, I'm satisfied
