It doesn't feel sticky at all and provides just the right amount of moisture to combat dryness!!! I recommend this to those with combination skin!!!!
ConsEven so, the fragrance is a bit strong ㅠㅠㅠ The whitening ingredients made it feel a bit stingy ㅠㅠㅠ
TipIf you just apply this one product, those with dry skin will need to layer on an extra rich cream to really hydrate

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.

The scent is quite manageable, even for those with sensitive noses. I found the scent to be fine. And I was worried that the ampoule would be too oily for my T-zone and cheek area since I have oily skin, but that turned out to be unfounded. This ampoule can be used lightly even by those with oily skin!
ConsSince this is a whitening ampoule, there is a slight stinging sensation when using it for the first time. But that goes away as you continue using it. And for those with dry skin, you may feel a bit dryness when using it.

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 I've been writing consistently since receiving the product (5/6 - 5/16). I did not use any other products alongside this one, and I used this product exclusively after my regular skincare routine. This review is written honestly without any falsehoods or exaggerations. 🙂 ✔️ Texture: For an ampoule, the texture was quite thin (?) without any sticky feeling. It had a slightly runny consistency (like clear nasal mucus). ✔️ Usage: At first, it felt like sprinkling water on my face, with a slightly slippery sensation. But after a couple of rolls, it absorbed quickly and lightly without any stickiness. ✔️ Fragrance: It has a refreshing herbal scent, but it may be a bit strong for some people. As I personally enjoy herbal fragrances, I was satisfied with it. ✔️ Skin Tone Improvement: I didn't expect dramatic effects after using the product for about 10 days. My existing freckles didn't fade or disappear, but my overall skin tone did seem to brighten by about one shade. In addition to the niacinamide that helps with whitening, the hyaluronic acid for hydration and the centella for soothing make this an ampoule that tackles moisture, soothing, and whitening all at once. In my case, I felt a radiant glow to my skin while using this product!
Cons✔️ Inconvenient Dropper: The rubber part is quite small, so the ampoule only comes out in a limited amount, even though I'd like to apply more generously. ✔️ Slight Stinging: When applied to areas with blemishes or minor wounds, I felt a stinging sensation. The stinging didn't persist, but it made me wonder if it was okay to use the product there.

Non-sticky, Moisturizing Application and Quick Absorption The texture of the Niacinamide Bright Ampoule is quite viscous as shown in the photo, not too sticky nor watery. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, non-greasy finish, making it highly recommended for those who dislike a sticky feel (the finish is soft but not powdery). 2. Moisture (for Oily Skin) Contrary to my expectation that a whitening ampoule would lack moisture, it actually provided good hydration. Sometimes I used the whitening ampoule alone without the soothing ampoule, and it felt sufficient without needing to apply a separate moisturizer. However, for dry skin types or very dry weather, using the ampoule alone may not be enough. 3. Brightening Effect (Clarity) After 9 days of use, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and clear, rather than just becoming whiter. My skin tone appeared brighter, and the overall texture looked more refined and luminous. Considering it's just a cosmetic product without any clinical treatments, I'm quite satisfied with these results. However, dramatic whitening effects are not to be expected. 4. Fragrance The fragrance may be divisive, but I personally found it not too artificial and quite pleasant. 5. Volume Due to the low viscosity and easy application, a small amount can cover a wide area. The 50ml size should last over 2 months, making the price-to-value ratio quite reasonable for an ampoule product. 6. Hygiene The dropper-type packaging prevents dust from entering, ensuring good hygiene.
Cons1. Irritation Despite being a whitening ampoule, the soothing effect mentioned in the product description was almost non-existent for me. Skin reactions can vary from person to person, but I did experience a slight irritation after application. This irritation was manageable, but it stung a bit on the areas with cystic acne. It also stings the eyes if it gets in. For those with highly sensitive skin, this product may not be recommended. 2. Lack of Dramatic Effects The effects I experienced were mainly skin clarity and texture refinement. As mentioned before, without professional skin treatments, it's difficult to achieve dramatic whitening results from cosmetic products alone. For those who need more soothing and hydration rather than whitening, I would recommend looking into soothing and moisturizing ampoules instead.
TipI would recommend this product to: ☆ Those who are focused on brightening (skin clarity and texture refinement) but also want a hydrating product ☆ Those with skin that is not highly sensitive and does not have inflammatory conditions like cystic acne ☆ Those who prefer a non-sticky, soft-matte finish

The formula is light and has a refreshing finish, not powdery or pore-clogging at all. Even though I have large pores on my nose bridge, I don't experience excess oil buildup after just applying the serum, which I'm very satisfied with! While I didn't notice a significant improvement in my blemishes after 2 weeks of use, my complexion does look brighter and more radiant.
ConsLikely due to the whitening effects, I experienced some slight irritation when I first started using the product. It had a stinging sensation, but from the second use onwards, I've been able to use it without any discomfort.

And the ampoule didn't feel greasy at all, it absorbed nicely and refreshingly, which I really enjoyed😄
ConsAfter applying it after plucking my eyebrows and washing my face, it stung so much.. I was really surprised💧 And I still haven't felt like my skin has become brighter!!! (I've been using it for a week)

The best thing about it is that it absorbs really well. I apply it and it gets absorbed right away, so it doesn't interfere with the next step of applying creams or base makeup. The dropper-style packaging is also convenient and hygienic to use. Even though lightweight products can sometimes leave my skin feeling dry, this one keeps my skin moisturized and glowing, especially in the summer.
ConsOne slight downside is that since it's focused on whitening ingredients, there's a slight tingling or redness on my face after application. But this is likely because my skin is quite sensitive, so it may not be an issue for those with normal skin types.
TipI'd recommend using a more moisturizing ampoule in the winter, and then switching to this one in the summer or other lighter-use seasons. Just be cautious if you have sensitive skin.

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.

When applied as a serum, I could feel the moisturizing effect. It's still too early to tell, but I don't feel like my skin has become brighter yet.
ConsI felt a slight stinging sensation when it touched my acne-prone areas. There may be other downsides, but I'll have to use it more to know for sure. And the packaging seems a bit excessive, which was surprising.
TipDon't rub it in, just gently pat it onto your skin! This product absorbs quite well, so you can massage it in if you want, but just patting it on will give you better moisture and absorption.
