After application, it absorbs well with a firm texture, without feeling sticky or slippery. With consistent use, I've noticed my complexion has become a bit brighter.
ConsIt might be too drying for those with dry skin, and I didn't notice significant effects on larger blemishes.

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!

One product I've been consistently using and loving is the ISOI Brightening Blemish Rose Serum! I've used this product so many times, I've lost count. I've adored this serum since before my wedding prep, but now I'm using it even more diligently! At first, I thought it was just another blemish care serum, but the texture is incredibly light! It absorbs into the skin without any stickiness, while still providing definite hydration. What's especially great is that it's never caused blemishes on my sensitive skin, not even once! Even though my skin has become more sensitive during wedding preparations, I can use this serum with complete peace of mind. Perhaps it's because of the Damask rose water, but it has a subtle rose scent that lifts my mood every time I apply it. I'm a big fan of this fragrance! As I've continued using it, I've noticed my complexion becoming subtly brighter and my blemishes gradually fading, which keeps me coming back for more.
ConsIf you have dry skin, you might feel a slight tightness after application.
TipI apply just one layer during the day, but in the evening, I always layer it multiple times! It feels like it enhances the effectiveness!

Cons⚠ Relatively weak hydration - On dry days, it's essential to pair it with a moisturizer! ⚠ Price versus volume - It tends to run out a bit quickly, which might be a concern for those focused on value for money.

The pump dispenses just the right amount...
ConsUsed it from 2023 to 2024 While the rose scent is lovely and fragrant, the formula evaporates quickly. It's hard to tell if it's absorbed or just disappeared. Not particularly hydrating either... Applied it to my mother who's concerned about dark spots, but saw no effects. So I tried it myself... It barely qualifies as a serum... It's extremely drying.
TipThe only way to make it work is to apply it at the serum stage and then layer on a rich cream generously.

It becomes a staple in your routine - you feel like something's missing if you don't use it.
ConsIt's not very hydrating and feels dry. I've used several bottles but haven't seen any improvement in blemishes. Not recommended considering the price.

My complexion seems a bit brighter than before.
ConsEven though I have combination skin leaning towards oily, it feels quite dry after application. As a result, I find myself pumping the product multiple times. The amount seems to decrease quickly. It looks like a product that would be good for summer use. For other seasons, I think it might be challenging to use on its own.
TipTo prevent dryness, you can apply a hydrating toner generously before using this, or add a couple of drops of facial oil to the product.

You know how sometimes skincare can be overpowering, but this one strikes just the right balance. The scent is lovely without being overwhelming - it's truly delightful!
ConsI bought this ISOI product because of all the hype, but I'm afraid it didn't live up to my expectations. Oddly enough, when I applied it generously, it would pill up like dead skin cells. My skin doesn't usually react badly, but within a week, I started developing blemishes. I didn't notice any brightening effects or overall improvement in my complexion. Rather than feeling hydrated, my skin quickly became dry. Despite its popularity, it seems this product just wasn't a good match for my skin type.

With its strong rose scent and gel-like texture, it seems perfect for summer use.
ConsI have combination skin and usually most skincare products work well for me. However, when I applied this product, my skin started to break out. Thinking it might be due to my skin condition, I continued using it for almost a week. As a result, my entire face became inflamed and sensitive to the touch. I experienced deep dryness for the first time in my life - even after applying thick layers of cream and masks, my skin would feel tight within 3 minutes. With an important event coming up, I had to visit a dermatologist for injections, oral medication, and prescription cream. I applied masks and ointment every morning and night. Even after finishing the medication, the heat sensation persisted, my cheeks remained very red, and the deep dryness wouldn't subside. I had to revisit the hospital for more injections and medication. It took over a week of intensive care with injections, medication, ointments, and soothing masks before my skin finally recovered. Although this is a famous product that I received as a gift and was excited to use, I don't think I'll ever be able to use it again. I kept it at home instead of throwing it away, and while writing this review, I tried it on the back of my hand - even there, it caused a slight tingling sensation.
TipBe sure to check the ingredients carefully and confirm if they're suitable for your skin before using, as you might end up with skin irritation, allergic reactions, and various troubles that require hospital visits! If you've already purchased it, try applying a small amount first. If you notice even the slightest issue, wash it off immediately and discontinue use.
