However, it's still thinner than typical serums, making it very easy to apply - Absorption: Due to its lightweight formula, it absorbs exceptionally well - Effectiveness: As it's a brightening serum, I focused solely on its whitening capabilities rather than expecting other benefits >> Not bad at all. It seems to enhance the Inner Glow rather than altering the complexion. However, consistent application is necessary, and given its thin, lightweight texture, the effects are somewhat subtle
ConsApart from the serum being thinner than expected, there aren't any particular drawbacks

They used to include ingredients like PEG, PPG, and shea butter, which made me hesitant to use their products despite other good ingredients. But now they've improved their formulations, and I'm impressed! I'm currently using their retinol product, and this time I tried their brightening product. It's a solid choice with great texture and application. It contains beneficial ingredients even for blemish-prone skin. There's no dryness or stickiness, and the consistency is excellent.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the concentration of key ingredients is on the lower side. For effective brightening, niacinamide should be at least 20% concentration, and arbutin, which is a top ingredient for evening skin tone, is missing from the formula. I wish they'd remove the fragrance too.
TipMy routine involves applying a hydrating ampoule or essence with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid after toner, both morning and night. Then I layer on brightening essence, anti-wrinkle essence, and moisturizer, followed by eye cream and a firming cream. This brightening essence is worth trying at least once. Dr. Oracle's other lines also contain effective ingredients. It's a safe bet for addressing skin blemishes, dark spots, acne, and as a brightening essence.

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!

It has a milky texture with good spreadability and absorption. Most importantly, there was no irritation or breakouts, so I was able to continue using it! The brightening effect was not dramatic, but it gave a sense of even, refined skin tone.
ConsThe amount of product that comes out when using the dropper was a bit inconvenient.
TipAs this is a brightening product, it would be better to use a separate moisturizing essence.

As my skin is not particularly sensitive, there were no issues like breakouts after use
ConsThe dropper seems longer than the amount of product in the bottle, or there may have not been enough air space to fully dispense the product Even after pressing down and pulling up repeatedly, only about half the product came out
TipIt works best when applied as the first step after cleansing, as the rapid absorption allows other products to layer on top effectively. While the brightening focus meant my dry skin felt a bit dehydrated, applying a light face oil afterwards left my skin feeling smooth and supple

It's not thick or sticky at all, but absorbs smoothly and leaves a soft, moisturized feel. For an ampoule, it has a lightweight feel, and considering it's a whitening ampoule, it's quite hydrating! As a dry-skinned person, I applied a hydrating serum before this and followed up with a cream and oil, but it still didn't feel drying. And since I was already using another niacinamide product, this one felt gentle and non-irritating. Soft, moisturizing, lightweight, and gentle - 🤗🤗 However,
Consthe fragrance is really not great. I prefer fragrance-free products for my face, as I'm sensitive to fragrances, and this one does contain fragrance, which is disappointing. And the fragrance itself isn't even good - it has a strong, dizzying scent that lingers even after application. Luckily, the fragrance didn't cause any breakouts for me. The whitening effect was also not as noticeable as I had hoped, given that it contains 5% niacinamide. I've read that 5% niacinamide is the standard concentration for research and verification of its brightening benefits, so higher percentages don't necessarily mean better results. So I was curious but also had high expectations after being selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, and while this product has many advantages like great application and hydration compared to famous competitor products, it fell a bit short in the functional aspect. But it could still be good for using consistently in a gentle, lightweight routine, if only the fragrance wasn't an issue!

Cons🤧Contains fragrance, which is a concern for some. However, the fragrance is not heavy and has a light, gentle floral scent. 🤧It's too lightweight, so you need to apply a cream after using the product. I haven't used it for long enough (only 2 weeks) to notice any brightening effects.

ConsThere were no major downsides that I personally noticed.

At first, they would feel moisturizing, but after absorption, they would become sticky, making them difficult to apply during the day or night. However, this ampoule was not overly sticky, which I really liked..! It has a light, lotion-like texture that applies smoothly without feeling watery. Even after full absorption, there is minimal stickiness, so I could apply it comfortably during the day.😍 They mentioned that the Niacinamide Ampoule focuses on soothing and brightening effects. While I couldn't really tell the brightening effects in the short time I used it, the soothing effects seemed to be there. The before and after photos of my chin show that the bumps have subsided after using the ampoule! (The difference isn't very visible in the photos, but in reality, a few blemishes have cleared up.😂) I'll have to use it more to see the brightening effects, but for now, I'm really satisfied with the soothing properties, and I'm so glad I found an ampoule that doesn't feel sticky. I would definitely consider repurchasing this with my own money.💞
ConsEverything else is good, but the scent was a bit off... It's not unbearably strange, but perhaps due to the added soothing ingredients, the fragrance could use some improvement.ㅠㅠ
TipI found the ampoule to have a similar texture to a light lotion, so I used it right after cleansing and toning, without applying a separate lotion. It applies nicely and lightly.😀 Also, storing it in a cool place can help with the redness-soothing effects, and the cooling sensation when applying makes it feel more refreshing to use!
