Seeing the vitamin and serum visibly combine really boosted my confidence in the product! With the changing seasons, while it didn't completely eliminate dryness for my sensitive combination dehydrated skin, I could definitely feel the hydration!
ConsIt was difficult to see any noticeably positive effects. Also, the scent is quite strong, reminiscent of old-fashioned cosmetics, which might be challenging for those sensitive to fragrances. Because of this, I found myself using it more before going out rather than before bed.

They used paper tape for the box and paper mesh instead of bubble wrap. How thoughtful! When I untied the pretty ribbon and opened the box, I was greeted by five luxurious-looking ampoules. Wow! I looked up the price and it's quite steep, but it seems worth it. Pros: 1. Weekly Serum System Each ampoule is portioned for a week's use! The vitamin powder is sealed in a capsule, which you burst and shake before use. This seems hygienic and should help preserve the ingredients' effectiveness. 2. Lightweight Yet Deeply Hydrating At first, I thought the thin texture couldn't possibly combat deep dryness... but I was so wrong! The finish felt surprisingly rich, and even when I didn't wash my face until the next afternoon, I didn't feel any dryness at all! 3. Brighter Complexion While it didn't dramatically change my foundation shade, I noticed my bare skin looked brighter. My mom even commented that my skin seemed more radiant lately - I was so surprised! Note: I have combination dehydrated skin. My skincare routine was: 'Dokdo Toner (exfoliating once) -> Dokdo Toner (one layer) -> Longevita Serum -> Dr.G Soothing Cream'
ConsThe scent was a bit artificial, which was slightly disappointing. I think a more natural, fresh fragrance matching its color would have been nicer.

My skin tends to be quite sensitive, so I usually stick to gentle, moisturizing products as brightening ones can sometimes cause reactions. Surprisingly, this product hasn't triggered any noticeable blemishes or redness yet. (I did get about 3 small pimples, but I don't think they're related to the product.) The packaging is very luxurious, with the vitamin powder and ampoule separated. This gives a placebo effect that it might be more effective than regular brightening products. It also seems more hygienic. Each bottle is meant to last 7 days, but the amount is more generous than expected. Using three pumps total for morning and evening application during the ampoule step left plenty of product. By days 5-7, I could apply it liberally and still have enough.
ConsThe fragrance is quite strong. I usually use products with little to no scent, so this might have felt more intense to me. Personally, it reminded me of my mother's cosmetics - a bit overpowering. While not nauseating, and I got used to it after a week, the artificial scent isn't particularly pleasant. The hydration is disappointingly weak... I switched from my Torriden serum to this for ten days for the Hwahae Testers event. The weather suddenly became drier, which might have amplified the effect, but the moisturizing power feels very inadequate. It seems to absorb quickly at first, but doesn't seem to relieve deep dryness. This might be the biggest drawback. While the main purpose is brightening rather than moisturizing, it's not an inexpensive product. If you have dry skin, I strongly recommend testing it thoroughly before purchasing. Perhaps due to the short usage period, I didn't notice any significant brightening effects. I usually rinse with rice water as the final step of my evening cleanse, and I feel that might actually be more effective.
TipI used it in this order: toner (Docto-x) - serum - moisturizer. For those with dry skin, I highly recommend using a slightly more hydrating and rich moisturizer!

After using this product, I developed blemishes, so I'm changing my rating from 4 stars to 1 star. When I first wrote the review for The Hwahae Testers, I didn't have an immediate reaction, so I thought it was a good product and wrote a review highlighting its benefits. However, after opening and using a new bottle, I experienced redness and pimples. At first, I thought it might be due to another product, but when I stopped using this one, the blemishes subsided. After a week or two, I tried this product again and was certain it caused blemishes. I should have updated my review sooner, but I forgot. I think it's best for those with super sensitive skin to avoid using this. I can only guess that the vitamin C in whitening cosmetics might be the cause of the blemishes... I'm just going to give up on brightening products. So, I only used about two or three bottles of this product (though I only pumped once or twice from the second and third bottles before throwing them away) and discarded the rest. I'll leave my previous review as is and just add this update here. Those with sensitive skin, please carefully consider before purchasing this product :) ------------------------------------------------------ This product comes in a beautiful package with small bottles divided into one-week portions. When you press the pump, the capsule and serum mix, and you're supposed to use it within a week. I found that using about 3 pumps each time, it was used up quickly. It contained just the right amount. I was hoping for a brightening effect, but honestly, brightening takes a long time to see results, so there wasn't much change in that aspect. The product's advantages are: ✔️ Packaging: Beyond being pretty, I like that it's divided into weekly portions. When using skincare products, you can sometimes forget about expiration dates, but with this weekly division, you can use it without overlapping with other products and be mindful of the expiration date. Also, it's small, so it would be convenient to take on trips without needing to decant. ✔️ Hydration: Although it's meant to be a brightening product, it provides quite a bit of hydration. Since it's a serum and also has firming effects, it was nice to feel some level of hydration. ✔️ Absorbs well and effectiveness: I don't prefer sticky essences or products that absorb slowly, but this product absorbs quickly and isn't sticky, which I liked. Although it's called an ampoule serum, I felt its texture was light, somewhere between a toner and an emulsion.
ConsThe downside is: ✖️ Scent: Personally, I dislike the typical cosmetic scent. (You know the one, right?) It has a slight cosmetic scent mixed with a vitamin supplement smell, which I didn't like. It's not a strongly scented product, but it's a disappointing aspect. Of course, this is a matter of personal preference and may vary for each user. There wasn't anything particularly bad about this product, and I didn't have any allergic reactions. Even with my slightly sensitive skin, I used it without any issues. I didn't list the brightening effect as a con because I think it needs to be used longer to see results. The reason for the 4-star rating isn't because of the scent, but because I didn't see any definite effects from this product and didn't feel there was anything particularly great about it.
TipIt seems like a product that's better suited for summer than winter.
