My chin used to be the palest area, but now everything looks more uniform. My once dull forehead is noticeably brighter! 2) Excellent at controlling excess oil Perfect for combination skin. It effectively manages oiliness, reducing shine and helping makeup stay put longer. An absolute must-have for summer. 3) Bonus blemish-calming and pore-refining effects I've noticed fewer small breakouts, and after a few days of use, my pores appear slightly less visible... Really feeling the power of that high-concentration niacinamide. 4) Surprisingly light texture With 20% active ingredients, I expected it to be heavy and suffocating, but it absorbs completely without any stickiness... While it might be slightly lacking in hydration, that's why it's likely to suit oily skin types better.
Cons1) Even with a slightly thicker application, it can pill and form white particles. It's disruptive enough to interfere with makeup application in the morning. First-time users might experience a slight tingling sensation, like ice crystals on the skin. Absolutely not recommended for those with sensitive skin or a weakened skin barrier. Patch testing is essential. 2) The hydration level is disappointing... While the lightweight and fresh feel is nice, it's not enough on its own for dry skin. Causes extreme tightness... You'll definitely need to layer a hydrating serum or cream on top.
TipI recommend using it every other night for intensive care. Adjust usage based on your skin's condition to maximize effects while minimizing irritation.

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.ProsThe texture is a slightly runny, thin type that feels light and refreshing when applied to the skin. It's a serum that absorbs quickly without leaving any residue on the skin's surface, making it comfortable to use without feeling heavy.
ConsHowever, when using this product alone, it was difficult to notice any significant effects. There was room for improvement, especially in addressing dryness. Those needing hydration will likely need to use other moisturizing products alongside this one. Also, it's inconvenient that residue remains on the cap. After use, the serum dries around the dropper cap, leaving a powdery residue, which is disappointing. It requires wiping after each use to keep it clean, causing a minor inconvenience during application.
TipThis product showed more noticeable effects when used in combination with other products rather than on its own. I felt my complexion became clearer when I used it together with a Vitamin C ampoule. The two ingredients seem to complement each other in their brightening functions, creating a synergistic effect when used together.

I've been using it for over a year, and my skin tone has improved slightly, and I feel like it's been improving overall, so I'm continuing to use it. However, it seems like there's a bit of an adjustment period needed at first.
ConsAfter using it for a while, you may feel a powder-like substance formed from the essence hardening in the dispenser. When using it for the first time, it may feel slightly irritating. I was fine at first, but after about a week, it started to feel a bit irritating.
TipAt first, it is recommended to use it every other day or in small amounts, while observing the skin condition. After using it for some time, there may be powder felt around the dispensing part, so it is recommended to remove the powder and then use it.

It feels like applying a moisturizing, melted aloe gel (though the absorption is just so-so!) I applied it in this order: toner - niacinamide - low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (pure) - moisturizer ((Hyaluronic acid is amazing.. works wonders for oily skin)) Review: To be honest, I didn't notice much effect from niacinamide alone. For the first few days, my skin felt incredibly soft, but after using it a few times, it returned to its normal state. I didn't see any other notable changes. However, when I used it together with hyaluronic acid, I started seeing results. Update: (There was no effect when using niacinamide alone, but here are the changes I noticed when I used hyaluronic acid after niacinamide) 1. Pores appear smaller! The prominent pores around my nose became less noticeable after this skincare routine. I was skeptical, so I tried a different routine the next day, and there was definitely a noticeable before-and-after difference! Honestly, I've tried many popular skincare products and serums to minimize pores without much success. I'm surprised, but this combination worked for my combination skin. 2. Reduced oiliness in the T-zone This effect was more from the hyaluronic acid than the niacinamide. The oil on my nose and between my eyebrows significantly decreased. Previously, touching my T-zone would leave quite a bit of oil, but after using hyaluronic acid, the oiliness improved dramatically.
Cons1. As mentioned above, there aren't any particular benefits. However, I'm on my second purchase because of the affordable price.. hehe 2. The day after use, the area around the bottle opening dries out and turns into white crystal-like residue. So when applying it in the evening, you might occasionally feel some gritty crystals. If you don't like that, you can use the cap that comes with the product to prevent this issue.
TipTry using it with hyaluronic acid. That's how I saw results with this product.

Whitening purpose: Great for applying generously without worry. Moisturizing: Quite hydrating for a brightening serum. Usually, serums alone aren't enough for hydration. A moisturizer is a must to finish.
ConsNote: As you use it, the product may solidify around the container opening, forming small white particles. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of.

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.ProsThis is my go-to basic serum that I use regularly! It has a lightweight formula that doesn't feel heavy even in summer, and it absorbs well, making it perfect for year-round use. I've seen great results using it alongside a tranexamic acid cream for brightening. Besides its whitening effects, it also helps control sebum, making it ideal for those concerned with pores or dead skin cells.
ConsWhile there's nothing lacking in the product's effectiveness, I was surprised to find that the cover that comes with the product isn't actually a cap. It's meant to be removed, leaving the pump exposed. This sometimes leads to the niacinamide powder solidifying and blocking the opening, which can be a bit worrying in terms of hygiene.
TipFor those aiming for a brightening effect, make sure to use this with a tranexamic acid cream! Personally, I've never seen my sun-tanned summer skin recover so quickly. I used the niacinamide serum and tranexamic acid cream with any sunscreen every morning. After about a week, I started noticing a slight brightening effect, and by 2-3 weeks, my complexion had completely returned to its original tone!

You can feel it absorbing instantly upon application. After having a baby, I couldn't take care of my skin, but this line is great value for money and truly excellent. For the first two or three days, there was a slight tingling sensation.
ConsAs you use the products, a white powdery residue forms on the lids of all the items in the line.
TipWhen my skin is particularly dehydrated, I layer it two or three times, taking my time between applications.

Niacinamide has so many benefits, it's a must-use ingredient. I liberally apply this product without worry even when I have blemishes or pimples. It's also great for controlling sebum.
ConsThere's nothing to complain about. The product does dry white around the pump nozzle, but that's just a characteristic of the ingredients, so I'm not bothered by it.

Niacinamide is in most of my skincare products, so I boldly went for the 20% concentration from the start. It suits me so well that I'm already on my second bottle. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable way to brighten their complexion!
ConsWhile everything else is great, one minor drawback is that the cap is a bit tricky to put on. If you don't seal it properly, the product dries up around the opening and hardens like salt. Since I plan to use this consistently, I really hope they improve the packaging in the future.

It hydrates like a dream, making it a perfect match for The Hwahae Testers. With its generous dose of niacinamide, slathering this on generously can literally transform your complexion in just two weeks - no exaggeration! It absorbs well and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Plus, it works wonders for calming blemishes.
ConsI highly recommend this product. If I had to nitpick, I'd mention the white residue that sometimes forms on the pump nozzle. Not sure why it happens, but just wipe it off before use and you're good to go!
TipIt's great for layering and plays well with other Hwahae products.
