My skin feels noticeably lighter.
ConsThe initial texture feels a bit sticky (though moisturizing). The dropper is inconvenient to use.
TipI apply it after using a microneedle roller and let it absorb. I use it every 2-3 days.

I feel uneasy without it. It doesn't necessarily lighten the complexion, but it gives a healthy glow? Like that fresh-faced look after a good night's sleep or right after cleansing in the evening! Hydration: A must-have for combating deep dryness in winter. Absorption: It glides on smoothly, similar to hyaluronic acid-focused ampoules, but differs in that it absorbs completely over time. It spreads well, so a small amount covers the whole face. Gentle: As someone with extremely sensitive, blemish-prone skin, this is one of the few ampoules that doesn't trigger breakouts. Personally, having tried the entire Dr. Oracle ampoule line, I find they generally excel at their intended effects. This one, however, is the cream of the crop. I want to prevent it from being discontinued, so I hope many people discover and use it. But then again, I selfishly wish I could keep it my little secret to avoid stock-outs and price hikes. Still, it's such a great product that I think everyone will know about it eventually... Ah, the dilemma!
ConsDropper: It only fills about 2/5 of the way, which is a bit frustrating... Price: Compared to when it's on sale, the regular price feels like it's gone up quite a bit, which is slightly disappointing... But considering its performance, I'm also grateful. It's a bit of a mixed feeling.
TipIf you have dry, sensitive skin and are looking for an effective brightening product, you absolutely must try this. ***Dr. Oracle! Please don't discontinue this. Don't change the formula either. I'm dead serious.***

As a bride-to-be, I've been focusing on brightening and blemish care, so I switched up my skincare routine. I must say, it's absolutely amazing so far! The pros - The texture is incredibly smooth and absorbs well. After applying, it's so moisturizing that you might not even need a separate cream. It leaves a lovely glow, and I noticed my complexion becoming clearer in just about a week of use. I've tried most brightening products out there, but this one seems to have a truly noticeable effect.
ConsThe cons - There's not much to complain about the product itself. I just wish it came in a larger size!
TipI'm using this along with a mask from the same brand that has similar ingredients. When I use the mask and this product before bed, the synergistic brightening effect is absolutely incredible!

While results may vary, I've seen improvements after 1-2 months of use.
ConsLike other products in this line, I wish it came in a larger size. It would be great if they released a bigger version.

The results are truly dramatic. I have freckled skin with lots of blemishes and dark spots, and when my skin was damaged, these imperfections looked even more pronounced. But after using this, my complexion has brightened and my blemishes have significantly improved. This is my review after using three bottles.
ConsI bought this on sale for 8,700 won, but now the price has gone up and I'm really disappointed.
TipThe pump doesn't dispense much product, but if you pump it three or four times and apply, the effects are even better. It works well on elbows and areas with hyperpigmentation too.

The elegant and sleek bottle is compact, making it perfect as a travel-sized essence replacement! 2. Due to its lightweight texture, it's more recommended for nighttime use! Apply generously instead of an emulsion before bed, and you'll wake up with a beautiful Inner Glow! 3. Despite being thin, it absorbs well and has a very subtle musk scent, making it easy to use without any discomfort! 4. As it's a brightening product, you'll likely see definite results after about a month of use (two weeks isn't quite enough yet).
ConsDue to its thin consistency, as shown in the last photo, it feels like you can't get all the product out. It seems like about 20% remains stuck in the dropper. Also, the suction power of the dropper seems a bit weak. It might be better to replace the dropper.

I love a fresh finish, and this one starts off feeling firm but quickly settles into a pleasantly fresh and powdery finish. For a serum, it was incredibly hydrating! Though it felt like it was just 2% short of perfection... I think adding a toner would achieve that ideal level of hydration!
ConsAfter using it for two weeks, I'm not sure about long-term brightening effects, but in terms of consistent use, I can tell my skin tone is actually getting darker. While it definitely eliminates dryness, it feels like it's 2-5% short of being truly hydrating... Adding one more product would make it the epitome of hydration. Still, since this is primarily a brightening product, I'm satisfied with this level of performance! I thought the dropper would dispense product until the end, but it only manages to get about half or slightly less out.

The scent is mild enough for most people to use comfortably, unless you're extremely sensitive to fragrances. I personally found the scent quite pleasant. I was initially worried about it being too oily for my combination skin (with an oily T-zone and butterfly zone), but those concerns were unfounded! It's a lightweight serum that even those with oily skin can use without issues.
ConsBeing a whitening serum, you might experience a slight tingling sensation when you first apply it. However, this sensation disappeared for me with continued use. Also, those with very dry skin might find it a bit lacking in terms of hydration.

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.ProsAfter using it consistently for two weeks, I can definitely say my complexion looks more refined. It's not like I've become dramatically brighter or whiter, but my uneven skin tone seems more balanced and cleaner. If these are the results after just two weeks, I imagine long-term use could really help brighten dull skin. During these two weeks, I only used three products: Missha Mugwort Pads, Dr. Oracle Niacinamide Bright Ampoule, and Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream. The Dr. Oracle ampoule was the only brightening product in my routine. I'm on day 15 now, and I'm amazed to see results already. The ingredients aren't particularly fancy, but I'm just impressed by how effective it is! Even though I'm about to start my period, I haven't experienced any blemishes from using this new product. So if you don't have super sensitive skin, you probably won't need to worry about irritation. (But remember, everyone's skin is different!) In conclusion, after two weeks of use, I can confidently say that this product works hard to even out skin tone!
ConsThere were two main drawbacks I noticed during my two-week trial: 1. The dropper is a bit inconvenient. I'm not sure if it's designed this way to control dosage, but no matter how hard I squeeze, it only fills halfway. It's frustrating! I prefer when the dropper fills completely so I can distribute the product to different areas of my face. This was a bit annoying for me since I'm used to that method. 2. It doesn't absorb as well as I'd like. Since it's an ampoule, I expected the active ingredients to penetrate the skin easily. However, it felt like it was sitting on top of my skin a bit. It wasn't terrible, but I had to use a combination of massaging and patting to get it to absorb. In my experience, if a skincare product doesn't absorb quickly, I tend to get lazy and stop using it over time.
TipMy routine consisted of Missha Mugwort Pads + Dr. Oracle Niacinamide Bright Ampoule + Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream. Missha Mugwort Pads → For soothing and calming blemishes Dr. Oracle Niacinamide Bright Ampoule → For brightening Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream → For hydration and strengthening the skin barrier I think this is a versatile combination that works well for various skin concerns! However, I wouldn't recommend the final cream for those with oily skin as it might be too rich. Instead, you could try pairing the other products with your usual lightweight gel cream or emulsion for another great combination.

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.ProsAs someone with super sensitive skin who feels a lot of dryness during seasonal changes, I'm usually cautious about switching even a single skincare product. Especially since I spend a lot of time outdoors, which tends to bring out my dark spots and blemishes. What attracted me most was that this product claims to help with brightening. After using it for about ten days, I noticed that compared to my previous brightening serum, this one has a thicker consistency and feels like it penetrates deeper into the skin, which I really like. In the photo I took on the first day, my dark spots were clearly visible, but in today's photo, they appear much lighter and my complexion looks brighter overall. Both photos were taken after cleansing, without applying anything else. Since using the serum was the only change in my routine, I can confirm that this product really does help with brightening!
ConsIt's not a major drawback, but due to the serum's thick consistency, I find myself having to use the dropper multiple times. Also, when first applied to the skin, it feels like it sits on the surface a bit. You need to give it some time and gently pat it in for it to absorb fully.
TipDuring seasonal changes, some days I sweat a lot, while other days my skin feels dry. On days when I notice dead skin cells, using this serum after exfoliating makes my skin look even brighter and feel smoother. Also, after using a sheet mask, I find that applying just this serum without any other products seems to provide both brightening and hydration.
