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.

It noticeably balances oil and moisture levels in the skin.
ConsIt balances the oil and moisture so well that it seems to remove even necessary oils. For someone like me who lacked hydration, it caused deep dryness. I didn't feel it was as effective in treating blemishes as I had hoped.

I've gone through about 4 bottles so far. As someone who gets unbearably itchy when applying cream in summer, I was searching for the lightest, most refreshing skincare products possible. That's when I settled on ISOI. Since then, I haven't experienced any adverse reactions. It feels like it's just perfecting the basics of my skin. While they claim it has a brightening effect when applied, I do notice my complexion looks clearer, albeit temporarily.
ConsI'm not sure if it's because of the volume, but it feels a bit pricey. Also, it doesn't seem to address deep dryness. When I go out after applying ISOI essence and serum, my skin still feels a bit tight.

Even others commented that my complexion looked better.
ConsDownsides: Can't use every last drop from the bottom of the bottle. The price is a bit steep. The fragrance is quite strong, so not recommended for those sensitive to scents. Doesn't seem effective for deep dryness.

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

It clarifies, brightens, and does it all
ConsSkin feels dry quickly if not followed up with a cream Doesn't seem to address deep dryness
TipIf the Care 'Up' Serum feels dry, try the Care 'Deep' Serum!

ConsAfter application, it can cause deep dryness. You need to apply cream, essence, or serum immediately after it absorbs. Other than that, it was fine
TipIt pairs well with La Roche-Posay cream

The clear, slightly bouncy texture spreads easily and absorbs quickly. However, after finishing one bottle and starting a second, I honestly can't say I've noticed much improvement in terms of brightening or evening out my complexion. I probably won't repurchase.
ConsDue to my deep dryness, using this alone wasn't sufficient. Even when I applied a hydrating essence afterwards, it didn't address the dryness. Only when I reversed the order - using the hydrating essence first, then this product - did I finally feel relief from the deep dryness. Also, it feels a bit pricey for the amount you get...
TipUse a hydrating essence first to address deep dryness before applying this product.

I've been using it for about 3 months. It absorbs well into the skin. Even though I have sensitive skin, it suits me nicely. The packaging is pretty... I guess?
ConsI apply this after using about 3 layers of toner and finish with a cream, but I still experience some deep dryness. As a serum, it seems to lack hydration. I didn't notice any significant reduction or disappearance of blemishes. I can't say for sure without a detailed analysis, but most of us don't have professional equipment at home to measure these things. I tried it again after using it about 10 years ago because of its popularity, but I couldn't really feel any notable benefits.
TipIt seems you need to address the deep dryness with a toner before applying the serum. The once-trendy '7-skin method' might actually help here. I mix exfoliating toner pads with regular toner in a 1:1 ratio. Personally, I use essences and serums by leaving them on my cheeks like a mask before bed, which seems to improve absorption. To be honest, I wanted to recommend using it this way - soaking it into a pad and applying it like a mask.
