Here's what I love: The Hwahae Testers were right about its brightening effects! While it's hard to capture in photos, I noticed my complexion looked more radiant after just a week. Pretty impressive for a topical product! The fragrance is a double-edged sword. Personally, I adore the scent, but I'm aware it means more fragrance ingredients. Still, I prefer this over earthy retinol serums!
ConsA few downsides I noticed: It feels sticky yet somehow leaves my skin feeling dry. Not ideal for layering under makeup, so I stick to nighttime use. The bottle size is a bit stingy. I'd love to apply it generously and layer it, but that's not really possible. I experienced some unexpected blemishes, though it could be hormonal.
TipOverall thoughts: Unless it's on sale, I probably wouldn't repurchase at full price. This isn't a knock on the product itself, but more a reflection of my general skepticism towards brightening products. That said, if I were in the market for a spot-targeting brightening serum, this would likely be my top choice!

ConsHowever, when I tried it again after not using it for a while, it didn't seem to have the same dramatic effect as before...
TipIf you're going to use it, make sure to use it consistently!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, it's not too drying even when applied alone (when I slather it on generously). There's a very slight tightness, but it absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh feeling. The scent is lovely too. Most importantly, as someone with skin that's sensitive to allergens and prone to comedogenic acne, this doesn't cause any breakouts. It suits me perfectly! It genuinely has a brightening effect!!!! My complexion looks a bit brighter!!! While it's not a complete transformation, there is a noticeable whitening effect. Among the Isoi line, everything else doesn't work for me, but this is the only one that does!
ConsAbsolutely avoid applying makeup over this. It feels like there's a thin film on the skin, so if you don't layer it properly with a good moisturizer on top, your makeup will pill like crazy. Apart from the pilling issue, everything else is great!
TipEven if it feels expensive, apply it generously. Right after cleansing, slather it on liberally.

I love that it has good ingredients and a pleasant rose scent. It applies lightly and absorbs quickly, so I highly recommend it for those with oily skin! I'm already on my 5th bottle. While I didn't notice a dramatic improvement in blemishes, it really does wonders for evening out the complexion (many people have commented that my skin tone looks brighter).
ConsI wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin as it might cause dryness later on. If you're using it in winter, it's best to pair it with a hydrating moisturizer.
TipAfter applying toner, use this serum and then layer a hydrating moisturizer on top. This method helps with absorption and works well.

I've included before and after pictures, both with and without flash. After using the ISOI serum, I definitely feel like my complexion has evened out and brightened. I'm prone to small blemishes and have atopic, super sensitive skin, but ISOI didn't make things worse at all! Personally, I've found this product incredibly helpful and would recommend it. I bought it for its brightening properties, but I feel like it's also reduced my blemishes... No, it's not just a feeling - they've actually decreased!
ConsThe quantity isn't generous for the price... But the effectiveness matches the cost.
TipThe consistency is thicker than expected, so it works better when applied after a watery toner. The product is so effective that I usually use 2 pumps, but when I tried 3, it seemed to make my skin a bit more sensitive the next day - perhaps due to the increased amount. I've found it's better to use less rather than more.

ConsIf you have a skin type that dries out quickly, you absolutely need to apply a hydrating moisturizer after using this product.

The texture wasn't runny like water, making it easy to apply, and it felt refreshing on my skin. My skin texture and complexion improved noticeably, and I was surprised to see that even my blemishes had calmed down a bit! Personally, I found the rose scent quite pleasant. It reminded me a bit of a motherly fragrance...?
ConsSince I'm used to using large-volume serums or ampoules, I feel like I might go through this 50ml bottle rather quickly...
TipI use this along with the ISOI Eye and Between Brow Patch, and the difference between using it and not using it is stark! I tend to get a lot of blemishes between my brows, but using the serum and patch together really helps control the redness of those blemishes. It works hard!

When I use it before bed, I wake up feeling like my skin is brighter the next day - it's amazing! While I'm still in my 20s and can't speak much to blemishes, I can definitely vouch for how it evens my skin tone! It absorbs well and has a great texture too. It's a perfect product~ I think it would work well for all skin types.
ConsThe pump dispenser can be a bit tricky to use! I prefer pressing it directly onto my face rather than my hands, but the serum keeps splattering onto the mirror when I do, which is inconvenient!
TipBest for nighttime use

It's somewhere between peach and lychee? I feel so happy every time I use it. It's great for both day and night use. I've even noticed a slight brightening effect.
ConsTo be honest, I'm not sure about its effectiveness. It hasn't faded any marks or cleared up blemishes. I wouldn't really recommend it.
