Curiosity led me to buy it due to positive reviews and skin-friendly ingredients 2. The milky-white ampoule, while not watery, is great for oily skin 3. It's not sticky and absorbs well 4. In summer, this alone keeps my skin hydrated - no need for additional cream 5. Instantly feels like it brightens my skin (just my personal impression!)
ConsThe downside... While there's an immediate brightening effect, it doesn't last long. I think I'll need to use it for a month to truly see the ampoule's benefits. Still, I enjoyed even that brief moment of clarity!

Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin with excess oil The best part was how well it absorbs! I loved that it finished with a fresh feel without any stickiness. It's almost fragrance-free and has a consistency similar to a runny nose drop.
ConsThose with oily skin might find it a bit too rich. While it does finish with a fresh feel, perhaps due to its oil content, it felt slightly heavy for my combination dehydrated skin to use in summer. Since it's only been 2 weeks, I can't really comment on its brightening effects...
TipFor those with combination dehydrated or oily skin, I recommend applying this in the evening before bed rather than in the morning or during the day!

It's not sticky at all and provides just the right amount of hydration to combat deep dryness. I highly recommend this for combination dehydrated skin!
ConsUnfortunately, due to the fragrance, the scent was a bit strong for me. The brightening ingredients also made my skin feel a bit tingly.
TipIf you have dry skin, this alone might not be enough. Promise yourself to layer on a rich cream generously for extra moisture.

Application: Spreads smoothly with a light texture. Absorption: Quickly sinks in when gently massaged. Brightening effect: Used consistently for 2 weeks, but no dramatic changes. Pros: Not very sticky and absorbs quickly. Best of all, it mixes well with other products without pilling. Overall satisfied with the texture, absorption, and application! As I don't have super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation after use.
ConsThe dropper seems longer than the product container, or there's not enough air to fully utilize the dropper's length. Even when pressing it all the way down, less than half the product comes up, so I had to repeat the process several times to apply enough product to my face.
TipIt's best to apply this as the first step after toner. Due to its quick absorption, other products layer well on top. Since it focuses on brightening, I felt a bit of dryness as I have dehydrated skin. However, when I later combined it with a light face oil, my skin felt soft and supple.

It's not too thick and there's absolutely no stickiness - it absorbs smoothly, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. For an ampoule, it feels lightweight, and considering it's a brightening moisturizer, it's quite hydrating! As someone with dry skin, I applied a hydrating serum before this product, followed by a cream and oil after, but I was pleased that it still didn't feel dry. Also, perhaps because I've been using other niacinamide products, I found this gentle and non-irritating. It's mild, smooth, hydrating, and lightweight. However,
ConsThe fragrance is really off-putting. I'm sensitive to fragrances and prefer fragrance-free products for my face, so it's disappointing that this contains added scent. What's worse, the fragrance isn't even pleasant. It's strong as soon as you open the cap and lingers with a subtle yet dizzying scent while applying. Fortunately, the fragrance didn't cause any blemishes. Despite containing 5% niacinamide, I didn't notice much brightening effect. I've heard that the skin-brightening benefits of niacinamide are researched and verified at a 5% concentration, so higher percentages aren't necessarily better. That's why I was curious and excited when I was selected to test this 5% product as part of The Hwahae Testers. While it has many advantages over famous competitors - it absorbs better, is more hydrating, and has other benefits - I was disappointed with its functional aspects. Still, it might be good for consistent, gentle, and lightweight use without the discomfort of stickiness... if only it weren't for the fragrance!

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, I have dry, atopic-prone skin! 1. They provided lots of samples! They included CC cream, sunblock, and foam cleanser samples, which I'll be able to use in various ways. 2. It's lightweight with minimal stickiness! The texture is very light and flows like water, making it great for those who dislike sticky products! However, if you have extremely dry skin or need intense hydration, you might need to layer it with other products. I'd recommend this for those with oily skin! 3. The dropper packaging is hygienic It's my first time using a dropper-type product, and I like that I can just drop a few drops directly onto my face without getting it on my hands. 4. It has a subtle floral scent that isn't overwhelming! 5. Skin-beneficial ingredients It contains 5% niacinamide, a high-concentration brightening ingredient Hyaluronic acid to maintain moisture Panthenol for glow and hydration With consistent use, I think these ingredients will show good results.
Cons1. Although it's marketed as a brightening product, I haven't noticed any significant effects yet! Of course, I haven't used it consistently for two weeks, so I'm not sure about its brightening effects! I might need to use it a bit longer to tell. 2. The price is in the upper 30,000 won range I thought it was quite expensive, possibly due to the high concentration of niacinamide. If the brightening effects are really noticeable, it might be worth it, but if the results are minimal, I wonder if it's any different from other ampoules. 3. Excessive packaging I was a bit surprised when I first received the package. The ampoule is small, but it came in a huge box! They could definitely reduce the packaging.
TipBecause the ampoule is thin, it absorbs quickly and applies lightly. Since I have dry skin that lacks moisture, I apply this first and then follow up with a moisturizing cream! For those who find it too light to use alone, I'd suggest layering it with other products.

It absorbed quickly without the typical stickiness of ampoules, which I loved! Despite my skin becoming sensitive due to multiple dermatological treatments, I experienced no adverse reactions during a week of use. I applied it nightly in the order of toner - Niacinamide Bright ampoule - moisturizer. There was a slight tingling sensation upon application, but no redness or blemishes appeared. If that had happened, I would've stopped immediately! After a week of use, I can't say my complexion has noticeably brightened, but my skin texture seems slightly improved. It's like my skin is on its way to looking clearer. If it improved after just a week, I wouldn't need to visit the dermatologist! There's no quick fix, so I think continued use would yield even better results. While everyone's skin is different, in my experience, this ampoule seems suitable for all skin types.
ConsThe subtle fragrance is tolerable, but as someone who prefers fragrance-free skincare products, I question the need for added fragrance. If it weren't for the fragrance, I'd consider this product perfect.
Tip- I recommend applying this before bed rather than under makeup. - Personally, I feel like using the ampoule alone might let the beneficial ingredients evaporate, so I always follow up with a moisturizer to 'seal in' the ampoule. (If you have oily skin, use just a small amount of moisturizer!)

ConsThere's a fragrance ingredient listed as a caution, which is slightly disappointing. However, the scent isn't heavy - it's light and has a subtle floral aroma that I quite like. It's so lightweight that you definitely need to follow up with a cream after use. I've only been using it for two weeks, so I haven't noticed any brightening effects or improvements in complexion yet.

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.ProsHere's my review after using it for two weeks. I don't typically get many blemishes, and I usually focus on whitening products when I do my makeup. I've tried various whitening ampoules and masks before. Texture: It's not too watery, but it has a thin, runny consistency. Hydration: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found the hydration level of this ampoule to be just right. I'm very satisfied, and the moisture lasts for a long time. Application: After applying, it doesn't feel sticky, nor does it dry out quickly. Apart from the whitening effect, everything else was great! Scent: It has a subtle cosmetic fragrance that wasn't off-putting. I would repurchase this product. Plus, when I applied it before makeup, my foundation went on smoothly!
ConsWhitening effect: After using it for two weeks, I didn't notice any whitening results. There wasn't much improvement in evening out my complexion either. I've used truly effective whitening ampoules before that showed results in just two days, so this aspect was disappointing. Dropper: The product's dropper was a bit inconvenient. As shown in the attached photo, even when you squeeze it firmly, it doesn't consistently dispense the same amount. The rubber part of the dropper is too loose, making me feel uneasy every time I apply it to my face.
TipIf you have combination dehydrated skin, you'll likely enjoy using this product for its hydration, regardless of your personal preferences!
