Everything about it is great. I'd love it even more if refills were available. The only minor point might be that the effects don't show up super quickly?

The texture and value for money are both excellent. It feels like a lightweight hydrating essence and doesn't cause any tingling. With its low oil content, it's perfect for morning use. Overall, it's an essence you can generously apply without hesitation.

Since it absorbs well, apply a generous amount.

Although it's supposed to be a blemish serum, I couldn't really feel any effect on my blemishes. It's not exceptionally moisturizing either... If I only use this after toner and before cream, my skin feels a bit dry. There's a sense of deep dryness? That said, the texture is very light.

It's lightweight and absorbs quickly. The texture is suitable for all skin types! It's moisturizing and absorbs completely. As it's purchased from Wisely, the ingredients are decent and the price is undeniably cheap! Seems like a safe, reliable product.

It's decent considering the price, but don't expect miracles overnight.

Great for daily use. I noticed a reduction in redness when I applied it before bed and woke up in the morning.

The only downside is that I wish it came in a larger size. That would be even better!

It's great for applying lightly and seems to absorb well into the skin.

I just apply it generously after cleansing my face.

The product volume is small and there's no free shipping. It's not heavily advertised, so promotions are rare. However, the affordable price makes up for these drawbacks.

The texture feels moisturizing and absorbs well into the skin. It has a slight brightening effect.

However, the downside is that despite continued use, it's difficult to notice any specific changes or improvements

Overall, it's a great product to use as the first step in your skincare routine, and its affordability makes it easy to incorporate into daily use

At first, it might feel a bit heavy on your skin. I recommend mixing it with your hydrating moisturizer initially. If that feels comfortable, you can then try using it on its own.

1. The brightening effect isn't very noticeable, so you might need to use it consistently for a long time to see results.

2. The pump bottle design makes it quite tricky to use up the last bit of product, as you'll need to tilt it to get the remaining amount.

1. The lightweight formula isn't too heavy, allowing those with oily skin to apply it smoothly without feeling greasy.

2. The generous amount and affordable price make it easy to use without hesitation.

3. It's surprisingly gentle on sensitive skin, causing less irritation than expected.

When I apply it only to my cheeks, those areas tend to feel dry compared to the rest of my face.

I love that it's specifically designed to target and care for skin with blemishes and uneven tone. The pump dispenser is convenient, unlike jars where you have to scoop out the product. It doesn't have an overpowering scent, which is great. The serum absorbs well into the skin.

The price is very low, so I can't really complain. However, the design is rather unappealing.

It absorbs well and dries quickly, which is quite nice.

■ I prefer to apply it at night.. When I put on makeup in the morning, it pills with some products, though I'm not sure which ones

■ I'm not sure if it's because I applied too much, but it pills when I put on makeup...
 * I try to apply a thin layer when getting ready for work and use it more generously before bed
■ It doesn't provide much hydration, so if you have combination or dry skin like me, you might feel some tightness
■ Even without makeup, if I gently scratch my face, it rolls off like eraser dust
* I'm not sure if this is because I have dead skin cells on my face..

⭐️This is a product I purchased with my own money.⭐️

■ After using it for about a month, I feel like my acne scars are slightly fading
■ The value for money is absolutely amazing... The packaging is pretty and the product is great... I'm blown away
■ Despite being a blemish serum, it's non-irritating so I'm applying it generously
■ It's so good that I want to try other products from the same company
■ While it might be difficult to see immediate effects on deep dark spots, the scars left after popping pimples seem to be lightening a bit haha

The instructions say to apply this first after cleansing (except for aftershave), which makes me wonder if I can skip toner altogether. For my evening routine, I'm currently using an exfoliating toner first, then applying this product.

I've been using different BHA products for exfoliation every couple of weeks, and I can definitely feel my skin improving. My girlfriend even mentioned that my skin looks better. Next time, I'm planning to try a pore-targeting booster too!
