Skin type: Dry and oily The best part was that the application was so smooth! The product finished with a refreshing feel without any stickiness, which was the best part. ^^ It's almost fragrance-free and has a liquid-like consistency.
ConsOily skin types may experience some extra oil buildup, and while it finishes refreshingly, it felt a bit heavy for my combination skin in the summer due to the oil content. The whitening effect wasn't very noticeable yet, as it's only been 2 weeks.
TipI'd recommend those with combination or oily skin to use this product in the evening rather than in the morning or during the day!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsUsage period: May 6th - 17th, mostly at night and sometimes in the morning Skin type: Dry / Almost no blemishes / Darker skin tone Normally used products: I mainly use serums with moisture but low oil content. The most recent product I used was the Beplain Cica Pore 2. Overall: It immediately smoothens the skin texture and makes the skin look slightly brighter, but there is irritation and excess oil production. It may not suit my skin, so the drawbacks outweigh the effects, which is disappointing. 😄 Spreadability and absorption Considering it's a serum, the spreadability and absorption are not bad! It absorbs well with gentle patting and doesn't leave a sticky finish. 😄 Whitening effect As with all whitening products, my skin didn't dramatically change from #23 to #21, but there was an immediate brightening and clarifying effect when applied. Niacinamide is a vitamin B component recognized for its whitening effects by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and around 5% is considered a high concentration in regular cosmetics. I'd like to use it more consistently to see the whitening results. 😄 Fragrance There is fragrance, so sensitive skin types should be cautious, but I'm not highly sensitive to fragrance. In fact, I prefer cosmetics with pleasant scents. The refreshing lemon-like and herbal aroma adds to the anticipation of the whitening effects.
Cons🥲 It stings. I'm not sure if it's because of the niacinamide, but it stung quite a bit when I first applied it, though I got used to it over time. Apart from the stinging sensation, there were no other issues like increased blemishes. 🥲 The dropper doesn't bring up the full amount of the solution. The amount shown in the photo is the maximum I could draw up, which was a bit inconvenient. 🥲 Oil When I apply this product, excess oil comes up quickly, making it difficult to apply makeup on top. I mainly used it at night and could only use it occasionally during the day when I wasn't wearing makeup.

First, there were no major downsides from my perspective. The positives were: 1. The dropper is hygienic and makes it easy to apply a small amount directly to my face. 2. When I use an ampoule, it can feel heavy and oily, making it difficult to apply daily. But the Niabrightening Ampoule felt refreshing and absorbed quickly, so I was able to use it every day. 3. It had a soothing and clarifying effect on my skin.
ConsWhile it worked well for my dry skin when using the ampoule, those with oily skin may find it can actually cause more breakouts due to the high oil content.
TipLately, I've been dealing with some facial flushing, so I've been applying an aloe soothing gel, letting it absorb fully, then following up with the ampoule and finally a moisturizer.

I usually get some kind of breakout on my face around my period, but the week I used this product, it coincided with my period, and I didn't get any breakouts, which was really surprising. I don't normally use a separate lotion or cream, and I only use cream on really dry days, otherwise I just finish with an essence or ampoule. But this product is so moisturizing that I don't think I need to use a separate cream! It suits my skin so well that I'll probably buy it again once I finish the bottle!! The scent is not strange at all!! It has a nice fragrance! I was skeptical at first about the brightening ampoule, but after using it for about 2 weeks, my skin tone does seem to have improved a bit! The darker areas around my lips have lightened up a little. I think the brightening effect will continue to improve with consistent use.
ConsI think oily skin types might have a hard time using this because it feels a bit oily after application. It's not really a downside, but I felt the soothing effect was stronger than the brightening effect. That was good for me, but people looking for a stronger brightening product might be disappointed!
TipThe lotions and creams I've used before feel too sticky, so I don't end up using them. Using this Dr. Oracle product after my usual ampoule helps me finish my skincare routine quickly and lightly!

Thinner than a runny essence, but with a slight viscosity, like an ampoule. 💥 Application: The thin texture makes it easy to apply and spread evenly. 💥 Finish: Absorbs quickly, and applying with light patting motions helps it absorb even faster! This was one of my favorite aspects. While it doesn't leave a sticky finish, I did notice a slightly oily/dewy appearance on days I used it, so I avoided using it as a morning base layer. 💥 Brightening effect: No dramatic 'whitening' effect, but a noticeable 'luminosity' and 'glow' that I'm quite satisfied with after 10 days of use! 💥 Breakouts: None!! And I have very sensitive skin - even a change in shower water can upset my complexion, but this product didn't cause any issues. I'm very pleased!
Cons💥 Pressing the dropper down once only fills about half the applicator rod(?) - I have to squeeze it again to cover my whole face, which is a bit annoying. 💥 While the non-sticky finish is a positive, the slightly oily/dewy appearance that emerges later in the day is not ideal for me.
TipGently pat it on!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst of all, I have somewhat enlarged pores and tend to get acne around my lips, and I have sensitive skin. It had good spreadability and absorption. The texture was not thick and sticky, but more like a watery lotion. Although I have severe inner dryness, I didn't feel dry after applying it. It also didn't cause any new breakouts. When I apply the ampoule, it feels refreshing? Ampoules are usually quite thick, but this one wasn't, which surprised me. This ampoule is perfect for summer.
ConsThey said it had whitening effects, but after using it for a week, I didn't really notice any. My T-zone also seems to be getting a bit oilier.
TipI apply toner, ampoule, and then moisturizer in that order. I use a refreshing tea tree toner, and the Mamonde moisturizer. When applying each step, I gently pat it in with my fingertips until it's mostly absorbed, then I layer the next product. This helps the moisture stay on my skin better.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAt first, when I received it, I honestly thought it would just be ordinary, but after using it, I searched for where it was sold. Honestly, although it's for the hair part, the Hwahae Trial Reviewer treatment was just so-so, but this one is too, too satisfactory! I felt like this product restored my skin health. And it's definitely different when I wake up in the morning - I really felt it. I only used this without any other skin care, and when I realized it had worked, I was surprised because I didn't have high expectations. Even with the mask irritating my skin, I just used this and was surprised that it calmed it down, better than other soothing products. I only used this and a moisturizer, and it was enough, especially when I applied it at night - the difference in the morning was clear. I'm so satisfied. With the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I feel like I unexpectedly found a great product, and I'm really happy about it. The oiliness wasn't as much as I expected. As an ampoule, I thought it would be heavy, but it's not heavy at all, just about a 4 out of 10. At first, when I patted it on, it felt oily, but after absorption, it's just right! I think even oily-skinned people could use this at night. Personally, I still need to apply a separate moisturizer, as it doesn't provide much hydration. The color is milky, and it has a scent. Personally, I wish the scent was removed - I wonder if it was really necessary to include fragrance in the ingredients.
Cons1. Fragrance, fragrance!!!!! Emphasized twice! I really wish the fragrance wasn't included ㅠㅠ! 2. For oily-skinned or those with excess sebum, using this on hot days might cause the oiliness to increase. So it would be best for them to use it at night or when it's cool and breezy, as that would be the perfect time.
TipThe dropper doesn't fill all the way up no matter how much you try, and it usually only fills about 1/3. That amount is just the right amount to use.👍

Right after application, it finished with a moisturized feel. It has a fast-drying property, so even without applying a moisturizer, it was almost enough not to feel dry. Since my skin is on the sensitive side, I was relieved to find that this product did not cause any breakouts for me, so it seems to be a good match for my skin.
ConsAlthough it's been only about a week since I started using it, I couldn't really feel the whitening effects. I felt a slight stickiness after the product was absorbed into my skin. Since I have oily skin, when I applied this at night and went to bed, my face was quite shiny the next day, which was the only downside.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I was selected for the first time and am writing the review. The container is made of glass material, and the dropper seems to only extract the right amount, and when I checked the ingredients, there are many good ones for dry skin, so I felt that it was carefully made. The price is not bad for an ampoule.
ConsHowever, it seems that it doesn't suit my skin unfortunately. From my 30s, my skin suddenly became sensitive, so I check the ingredients very carefully and have a hard time using new products. ㅜㅜ I applied for the event after considering a lot, and I thought the ingredients of this product would suit me since I was selected, but it doesn't seem to be the case. ㅜㅜ The stinging around my eyes is the worst. It gets very irritated and stings every time, which surprised me; My forehead gets very oily, and I had a lot of breakouts around my eyes and cheeks. As the symptoms got worse while using this product, I had to stop using it. I gave it to my mom who has healthier skin than me, and if there are any whitening effects, I will update later.
TipI can only use mineral sunscreens because regular sunscreens sting my eyes a lot. I'm not sure if this product causes a similar stinging effect. I wonder if it's because the niacinamide ingredient doesn't suit me. ㅜㅜ Anyway, for those with severe acne, it might be better to focus on hydration rather than whitening. If you have severe eye stinging, please refer to this.
