I've been using masks a lot lately, and my skin has been breaking out, but after using this product for a few days, my skin felt soothed. ✌ It felt like my skin was lightly replenished with moisture. It wasn't heavy or burdensome at all, but rather felt light and easily absorbed.
ConsI used the toner, ampoule, and cream in that order every day, but when I used the ampoule and cream together, my face started to feel a bit bumpy. It seems like using just one drop of the ampoule on my cheeks and forehead is the right amount.

I've been trying out various whitening products lately. These days, many whitening products seem to be more oily and heavy. This product focuses on whitening as the primary goal, but it also seems to pay a lot of attention to hydration. My skin is on the drier side, but it's not too oily. This product has a formula that's just shy of being oily, if that makes sense. For a whitening product, it has excellent moisturizing properties, so it works well for me as someone who uses oil-free skincare. In the winter when I need a bit more oil, I can use this without causing any breakouts and it helps prevent dryness. The whitening effects after about 2 weeks weren't dramatically noticeable, but I did feel like my complexion looked a bit brighter starting from the 3rd day of use.
ConsThere is a slight oiliness to it. As I mentioned, the product focuses a lot on hydration, but the formula is definitely too heavy for oily skin types. Even for my normal-to-dry skin, using a full dropper's worth all over my face made it feel a bit too oily. I also noticed some small breakouts, especially on my forehead, after using this product, though I can't say for certain if it was the direct cause.
TipI find that using whitening essences and ampoules in conjunction with exfoliating toners and pads really boosts the synergistic effects. This is definitely true! And rather than using this product solely for whitening purposes, I think it would work well as a hydrating ampoule too.

For dry skin types, there is satisfactory moisturizing power and a non-greasy, slightly slippery residual feel, leaving the skin feeling plump over time 2. The absorption is also just right - the serum has a weighted feel, so if it absorbed completely at once it might look oily, but this product seems well-formulated to avoid that 🎁I've seen effects from using the product! After 10 days of use, I definitely noticed my blemishes had diminished slightly, and my overall complexion looked brighter, which was surprising and delightful ㅎ.ㅎ
Cons❌ 1. The advantages I listed above actually become a drawback when using the product before makeup.ㅠ.ㅠ The slower absorption means I don't recommend using it before makeup. 2. During the first 3 days, I used the full dropper amount in the bottle, and that caused several painful, cystic acne breakouts.🥲 I usually get acne right away when using oily skincare, so I'm not sure if it was due to using too much or if the fragrance didn't agree with me...ㅠㅠ The affected areas on my cheeks became inflamed, and it was a struggle to recover from that.
TipThe final photo shows one drop each of the Dajaeun Houttuynia Cordata Serum and the Mernell Serum on a Post-it note, taken 15 minutes later. The Dajaeun Serum demonstrated noticeably faster absorption, while the Mernell Serum left a noticeable amount that was about to drip off. Please keep this in mind, and if you don't like heavier products, I'd recommend considering the Dajaeun Serum.😉
