It wasn't pleasant. How do I fill 20 characters?
ConsI bought a set of 3 on sale at Olive Young and used them all up. I don't see any blemish care effects at all, and I can't understand why it's famous or expensive. My dry skin might have played a part, but it's not hydrating. And if you try to apply more of this serum, it just pills. Well, I don't think I'll buy it again.

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.

I'm not sure about how effectively it absorbs or its overall efficacy.
ConsThe results are ambiguous, and there's some pilling like dead skin. Above all, it's way too expensive.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.

It's so good, I keep coming back for more!
ConsThe only downside is that it tends to pill a bit when I wake up the next morning. That's a bit disappointing.

ConsIt's too light to address deep dryness When I apply makeup after using this, there's some pilling Wonder if using a full-size product would show effects on blemishes...? It's too mild, so if blemishes are your main concern, I'd probably buy a different product with more intense effects
TipRecommended for those who want gentle daily blemish care

Perfect for summer use and doesn't cause any irritation.
ConsIt causes severe pilling with makeup... It makes your foundation separate... Not recommended before applying makeup. Better suited for evening use.

I chose Isoi for a reason - it delivers noticeably visible results! Currently on my third bottle, here's my take: ✔️ Definite brightening effect - I have naturally dark skin and a job that exposes me to the sun in summer, so I'm super sensitive about tanning. Even 30 minutes of exposure has people asking why I'm so tanned... ugh. This product helps me maintain my complexion somewhat. Even if I do tan a bit, applying it morning and night gives an instant brightening effect! ✔️ Incredibly gentle - As I mentioned, I apply it twice daily, which speaks to how non-irritating and gentle it is! I've seen a few reviews mentioning blemishes, but I found it extremely mild. Everyone's skin is different, so keep that in mind! ✔️ Subtle rose fragrance - Personally, I love the scent! Some might not be fans, but if you enjoy a light rose aroma like I do, you'll absolutely adore this! It's not overpowering, so I hope others will like it too.
ConsUnfortunately, there are two downsides: ✔️ Pilling with makeup - (I usually only wear sunscreen, rarely any other makeup!) When I first used this product about 8 years ago, it caused my sunscreen to pill. So I only used it a few times before tossing it in the bin. Despite that, due to a lack of satisfying brightening products, I started using it again three months ago. I searched for reviews but found no mentions of pilling, so I had some hope. But alas, it still happened. After a week of use, I considered throwing it out again, but as a last resort, I tried using a skincare device. Thankfully, it worked! While there's no more pilling for me now, it's still a significant drawback for others to consider. Make sure to let it absorb well before applying any makeup! ✔️ Limited effect on dark spots and freckles - I have visible dark spots under my right eye due to sun exposure. After using three bottles, I hoped to see them fade, but the effect was minimal. While it's great for evening skin tone and improving overall complexion, it doesn't seem to do much for deep-set dark spots or freckles. I wonder if using it longer would show more visible results...
TipAlways ensure it's fully absorbed before applying sunscreen or makeup!
