When applied as the final step in skincare, it truly feels like a moisture barrier forms. Second, I've used it for over three years and my complexion has become clearer. It definitely has a brightening effect!
ConsPersonally, it suits my skin so well that I remember writing a post on the review board begging Sidmool and Dr. Min Joong-ki to never change the formula and keep making it for a long time. I do recall a slight tingling sensation when I first used it though!
TipI used this along with the Sacaro Glow Cream. It provides the oil that the gel couldn't, and I could really feel my skin texture improving!

I'd say it evens out the skin tone? Anyway, it made my skin look cleaner. However, I only saw results initially, and there hasn't been much improvement since.
ConsI don't mind the slight burning sensation when applying, but after some time, it started to sting - maybe because I was sweating? Regardless of sweating, I did notice a few small blemishes appearing. I had to stop using it as my skin condition worsened. It seems my skin doesn't agree with the acai ingredient.
TipI recommend using this in combination with other products rather than on its own.

My skin is super sensitive, but this worked wonderfully. The brightening effect is top-notch - it makes your complexion look translucent. It also helps fade blemish marks!
ConsIt's too light for winter use. If you want to use it during colder months, you'll need to layer it with a hydrating moisturizer.

It's perfect for applying lightly before your moisturizer and absorbs well into the skin. I've been using this for years, briefly switched to another essence, but recently came back to this one. Within a few weeks of switching back, I started receiving compliments on how much brighter my skin looked. I can personally feel my complexion becoming more radiant while using this essence! What's even better is that it's not just filled with water - it contains 90% acai berry extract, which I think makes it even more effective.
ConsThere's honestly nothing to dislike, but if I had to nitpick, maybe the hydration? It provides a suitable level of moisture for an essence, but if I'm being really picky, just a touch more hydration would make it absolutely perfect. That said, I'm already extremely satisfied and will likely use this as my holy grail product for life!
TipIt's great for applying lightly in your skincare routine before your moisturizer.

I'm using it because it's said to be good for brightening. Personally, I feel an immediate brightening effect, but I'm not sure if it's because my skin is absorbing moisture or if it's actually brighter than usual when I'm not wearing it. I think I need to use it a bit longer to know for sure. The gel-like texture makes it feel lightweight. As someone with oily skin, I used to use green tea toner + face oil (1 drop) in summer, but now I'm loving this product for its lightness. The quantity is generous, so I'm applying it liberally. It's good value for money, and I plan to repurchase when I run out. I'm not sure about the drier autumn and winter months, but for now, I'm very satisfied!
ConsIt stings. I thought it might be because I have sensitive skin, but looking at other reviews, I see some people also mention the stinging sensation. It only stung slightly on the first day, and it was fine after that. Those with sensitive skin should consider carefully before purchasing.
TipI squeeze out about half a fingertip's worth, pat about a third of it onto my skin, then mix 1-2 drops of face oil with the rest, press it gently into my skin, and pat on the remaining amount in two parts. This method helps reduce dryness and works well. Since it's a brightening moisturizer, I make sure to apply it to my neck too. My face always looks brighter, so don't forget to apply it to your neck as well!

I've tried almost all types including Tea Tree, Aloe, Centella, and Propolis. Personally, I liked them in this order: Propolis > Tea Tree >= Acai > Aloe > Centella. That doesn't mean the ones towards the end felt significantly worse to use - it's just my personal preference. The Acai Berry Essential seemed to have a more noticeable brightening effect compared to the others the more I used it... I can confidently recommend all of these Essential line products as they have impeccable ingredients and are truly skin-friendly cosmetics!
ConsWell, when you apply it lightly, you might feel a slight burning sensation. I'm not sure exactly why this happens, but since it didn't cause blemishes or irritation, I continued using it. Now it seems my skin has adapted, alternating between feeling a bit hot and not. Also, it doesn't seem to help much with deep dryness!
TipThis was my second purchase, and I feel like I've used it well throughout the summer. Next time, I plan to buy either the Galactomyces Essential or the Tea Tree one. I'm always 'nomadic' within the Sidmool Essential line!

I even used it when I had a bad breakout, and it helped fade the blemishes and brighten my complexion.
ConsDepending on your skin condition, it can sting a bit sometimes. I'm not particularly sensitive, so I just keep using it. Actually, when I have acne, applying it generously helps calm it down. It doesn't cause any redness on my face! However, since it's a hydrating gel, it can pill if you apply too much.
TipWhen I want to give my skin a hydration boost, I keep my base skincare routine light and apply two to three layers of this before going to bed.

With others, I was always wondering, 'Is my skin actually getting lighter?' But with this one, you can clearly see the brightening results.
ConsBeing a whitening product, it might be a bit harsh on the skin. I didn't experience any major blemishes, but I did find myself worrying about it from time to time...

Even people around me complimented me, saying my complexion looked especially radiant that day. It's effective even when only used at night.
ConsThe hydration seems lacking. Right after washing my face in the morning, it feels okay, but compared to other moisturizing products, that soft, supple feeling doesn't last as long.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking to achieve a fairer complexion.
ConsUnfortunately, it didn't help with my small, bumpy blemishes. Also, I have redness on both cheeks that looks like apples, and while my skin became lighter, the redness became more noticeable. Because my skin got fairer, the redness stood out even more. I almost wish I had darker skin so the redness wouldn't be as visible.
