After seeing positive reviews, I decided to purchase this product.
ConsI have combination skin with an oily T-zone and normal skin elsewhere. Throughout my life, I've never had skin concerns and have been blessed with naturally beautiful skin without much effort. However, when I use this product, my face feels incredibly irritated, and the next day my skin feels so dry it's as if it might crack. I bought two of these during a sale because of the good price and positive reviews, so I've tried it multiple times. I've even tried mixing it with moisturizer and essence. I can't really tell if it's helping with brightening, but it seems to worsen the chapping around my mouth, and my face becomes extremely dehydrated. I'm considering throwing it away.

ConsI have super sensitive skin, but about ten years ago, my skin had a major flare-up. Since then, I've been carefully checking ingredients and taking good care of my skin. For the past few years, I haven't needed much care and my skin has been great, allowing me to use various products without issues. I thought I might not have sensitive skin anymore, but... After using this for just two days, my skin completely broke out! I tried to eliminate blemishes, but ended up with even more. I only applied it to my T-zone and forehead. On the first day, there was some itching, which I tried to ignore. By the second day, I felt burning and itching, and when I woke up, my face was covered in rash-like bumps. Absolutely not recommended for those with super sensitive skin
TipSuper sensitive skin. Absolutely not recommended

I love how a small amount spreads easily across the skin.
ConsAs it's a functional product, it probably needs to be used for a longer period to see results. I haven't noticed any significant effects yet. When I first used it, there was a slight tingling sensation.

I got a great deal with a buy-one-get-one-free offer at Olive Young.
ConsMy skin had a terrible reaction. It was stinging and itchy. I unconsciously scratched my face while sleeping, and it was so bad that it oozed, forcing me to visit the doctor. The ingredients don't seem to agree with my skin at all.

The product has a light yellow tint. It's very hydrating with a balanced oil content, allowing for a thin, smooth application that doesn't dry out quickly.
ConsWhile it's milder than other vitamin C products, which allowed me to use it for a long time, it can still cause a tingling sensation when applied to sensitive skin. I have a lot of dark spots and freckles, so I focused on applying it to those areas, but I didn't notice any significant results. I'm wondering if I should keep using it...

It's not too thick or heavy, so it applies smoothly on the face without any difficulty. 👉 Fragrance - The fragrance is refreshing and citrusy, like lemon! Since it's a vitamin cream, the light, pleasant scent doesn't feel overpowering or artificial at all. 👉 Hydration - After application, the face doesn't feel tight or dry. However, it also doesn't get instantly absorbed. It leaves a slightly coated, moisturized feeling on the skin. The next morning, the face feels smoother than usual. 👉 Tone Improvement - While also using other brightening products in the routine, this cream has visibly improved the complexion and made the skin tone appear brighter. It's unclear if this is solely the effect of this product or the synergy with the other essence used. 👉 Packaging Convenience - The compact size and airtight jar design make it easy to target specific areas, like the T-zone, when applying the cream.
Cons👉 Irritation & Itchiness - From the first use until today (with a 2-3 day break in between), every time I applied the product, my face would sting... 😞 On the first and second days, I thought it was just because I was trying a new product, but since my skin is acne-prone, my cheeks would feel irritated and stingy every time I used it. It wasn't as severe as a burning sensation, but more of a prickling feeling, so I thought the product just didn't suit me throughout the usage period. 😞 After the stinging subsided, I would then experience itchiness, and my skin definitely didn't seem to be responding well - it even felt like more blemishes were appearing on my face. 👉 Firming & Spot-Improving Effects - After using it for 2 weeks, I didn't expect dramatic results, but it seems the product just doesn't work for me. I took before and after photos to compare, but to be honest, I'm not sure if there's any noticeable difference. My skin has a lot of acne scars and blemishes, and I didn't feel like the spots or uneven tone were improved or soothed. I had hoped to see some effects, so I even stopped using my new ampoule and minimized my routine, but it just didn't work for me. 😞 👉 Airtight Packaging - As a facial skincare product, I may be overly sensitive, but when I first opened the jar, the opening didn't seem to have a proper sealing treatment. Of course, the cap itself has a hole that gets sealed when closed, but without a silicone-like material to create a tight seal, it doesn't seem to be perfectly airtight. I personally think it would have been better if they had sealed the opening more thoroughly. 👉 Ingredients - I think the itchiness I experienced after applying the product may be related to an allergic reaction. Even though I don't usually have issues with color cosmetics, transitioning to this skincare product has triggered this kind of response. In that sense, I'm quite disappointed with the ingredients. (Cosmetics that have caused itchiness for me in the past: Benefit Blush Line/Dandelion)
Tip✔ I would recommend that those who think their skin is a bit sensitive definitely test this product before purchasing! ✔ For those with very oily skin, this cream may feel a bit greasy.

But after trying it consistently, I didn't experience any major issues. The fragrance was like a vitamin scent, which I really liked. The texture was firm and spread well, leaving my skin feeling very moisturized after application. The product absorbed well into my skin, giving a refreshing, cooling sensation. I was very satisfied with the spreadability and felt like the vitamin content was quite high, as I could really feel it. I haven't seen much improvement in acne scars or whitening yet, as I've only been using it for 2 weeks, but I think I'll need to use it consistently longer to see those effects. I applied it before makeup, not after, and found that my makeup went on better. Those around me also commented that my skin looked better after using the product. After 2 weeks of use, I would be willing to purchase this product. However, for those with very sensitive skin that is not in good condition, I wouldn't strongly recommend it, as it can feel a bit stinging when applied.
ConsThe price is a bit high, so it may be a burden for students. Also, since I have some small acne and blemishes, I would sometimes feel a stinging sensation when applying it. This made me hesitate to use it at times. But I tried to use it consistently for a few weeks, and it didn't seem to negatively affect my blemishes. Still, the stinging sensation was a bit disappointing.
TipWhen applying this product at night before bed, it's best to first thoroughly moisten your face with a toner-soaked cotton pad, then apply a moisturizing lotion or cream, and finally, apply this product as the last step. This will help prevent any potential skin irritation.

I was born with an atopic skin condition, and my skin goes through cycles - the 2 weeks before my period are the worst, while the 2 weeks after are the best. I also have combination skin that's dehydrated, and I've been dealing with inflammatory acne on my nose and chin for years. My skin type varies by area - oily on my nose, normal on my cheeks and forehead, and dehydrated on my chin. 1. I really like the refreshing scent - it reminds me of the Burt's Bees solid hand cream. 2. The hygienic tube packaging gives me peace of mind. 3. The small opening makes it easy to apply to targeted areas and control the amount. 4. The formula feels hydrating and absorbs quickly without any stickiness, which I really appreciate. 5. The smooth, creamy texture spreads easily across the skin.
Cons1. When I first started using it, it felt a bit stinging on the more irritated areas of my skin. Luckily, that sensation went away after a while, so I think my skin was just reacting to the formula initially. 2. I have more issues with acne scars than dark spots, and I think it'll take consistent use to see results for either. So far, I haven't noticed any visible improvements. 3. The price is quite high. While the 30ml size may last a while since I'm only using it on specific areas, the cost is still a bit prohibitive for regular purchase.
Tip1. This product may work better in the winter than summer. 2. It's better suited for targeted application on problem areas, rather than the whole face. 3. Patience and consistent use are key to seeing the full benefits.

But this is the first time I've come across a vitamin C cream that is so gentle and unobtrusive - in a good way! When applying vitamin C, I'm usually worried about irritation or it interfering with the next step of my routine, but even though it's such an effective ingredient, I can't stop using it. But if it's this mild and non-irritating, I think I can keep using it without any issues. The moisturizing properties aren't bad either. It's not as plumping as a hydrating cream, but there's a sense of it enveloping the skin, and it absorbs cleanly without the sticky vitamin C feel of high-concentration serums. Still, a good moisturizing layer is essential, especially in these cold seasons when you really need to lock in that hydration.
ConsSo gentle, does that mean the effects are gentle too?😹 Even though vitamin C works well for me, I've been hesitant to keep using it due to the stinging sensation and overly dramatic effects. But then I found this product! I'm glad it's so gentle, but I don't really feel any noticeable effects. What I usually feel with vitamin C is a difference in the texture of my skin that I can physically feel, but this product doesn't have that. It just feels like I've applied a regular cream with no discernible changes. However, if after 2 weeks of use, others can visibly see a difference, then it's not just a regular cosmetic product. For daily care purposes, I think continuing to use it and gradually feeling the subtle changes in skin texture through my fingertips could be a good approach, even if the effects aren't immediately dramatic.
TipI have a feeling that using this cream together with the accompanying vitamin C ampoule would create a powerful synergy. Since this cream has such a gentle, quiet cream-like feel, I imagine applying the ampoule first and then layering this cream on top could be even more beneficial. As a vitamin C devotee, if the combination works well, I'll be using it for life.. But if it doesn't, I'll be updating my Hwahae Trial Reviewer review and keeping a close eye on it forever and ever ㅏㅏㅏ~~~
