And it really does whiten the skin... I bought it to recover the tanned areas on my body, not just my face, for the summer. The tanned areas disappeared quickly with just 2 small bottles, and after using it consistently for about 3 months, my hands and body became noticeably whiter. (I used the large 60ml size, 2 bottles, plus 2 small bottles) -> When I compared it to my friend with bright skin, our skin tones became similar (it's the real deal)
ConsThe high concentration can be painful when applied to the wounded area... Please be careful. But it's still good for identifying the wounded area haha

After about 1 month of use, my skin tone started to brighten by about 1 shade. • This product focuses solely on the niacinamide ingredient, prioritizing whitening effects over moisturization • Despite being a high-concentration product, it did not cause any irritation or breakouts for my sensitive skin
Cons• I saw great effects on tone improvement, but did not see significant effects on blemishes or freckles. • If cosmetics are left on the bottle opening, the liquid can crystallize, so you need to wipe it off. The crystals can be irritating to the skin, so you need to be careful.
TipThe product had little effect on blemishes or freckles, but there are hardly any cosmetics that have been as effective as this one in improving skin tone. I highly recommend it to those who want their skin to become whiter.

Niacinamide is already a great ingredient, and this serum contains a high concentration of it, so it feels much better than the ordinary serum. It wasn't irritating to me at all, and instead felt soothing and calming. Of course, I don't expect miracles from a cosmetic product, but I do feel like it has helped with oil control a bit and has also contributed to a subtle brightening effect. Plus, unlike retinol, I can use it both day and night, which is convenient. The large size and affordable price are also great. I think I'll continue using this serum going forward.
ConsThe packaging design of the large-sized product is rather unattractive compared to the smaller-sized ones.

The hydration and moisturization are also great, so it's good to use even in the winter. The absorption is fast and effective, so it's not sticky or heavy. My skin definitely becomes whiter, the texture improves, and it feels plump and great. And while the amount is small, if you consider using it twice per application, it's a cost-effective product, and the effectiveness is very good for the price. (You can use it for about 5 months along with other products.)
Cons•At first, it was a bit irritating when I started using it. But the effects were so good that I've been using it well nonetheless.
TipTry using one pump first and see if there's no irritation, then use two pumps as recommended. (Even though niacinamide is generally non-irritating, the high concentration still requires caution.)

The brightening effect seems to be extremely powerful.
ConsIt becomes white temporarily, but my skin color returns to normal after washing. Since my skin is very yellow, I've been using products with niacinamide ingredients constantly, hoping to whiten it, but I haven't seen any effects yet. I've finished one bottle and ordered a new one. I'll use it more and post another review.

The formula isn't too heavy and feels lightweight, which I like. After using it for 3 bottles, I noticed my skin tone has become a bit lighter. The price is also reasonable, so I'd recommend this to anyone just starting their brightening journey!! The volume is a bit smaller than expected, so I'd suggest getting the larger size.
ConsIt can be a bit drying, and if you don't cleanse your face thoroughly, you might see some white crystal-like residue. This seems to be caused by the brightening ingredients and the evaporation of moisture, but it's easily wiped away.

Just applying it once makes your skin look brighter and clearer. The viscosity is higher and it's moisturizing. There's also a pore tightening effect. Anyway, it's a product I stock up on and use.
ConsI really don't have any. Even if it touches the slightest wound, it stings and I'm really in trouble. After testing, I recommend starting with a lower concentration and using it gradually.
TipHwahae Trial Reviewers sell two 80ml bottles for around 20,000 won. The expiration date is generous, so you can stock up and use it^^

The effects are decent as well.
ConsWhen I used it once last year, I could clearly feel the brightening effect in just 3 days, but when I started using it again recently, I couldn't really tell the difference even after using it for over a week 😔 However, after using it consistently for more than 2 weeks, I did start to notice some effect~ The dramatic brightening effect I experienced before is not as pronounced, but if I use it consistently for a month, I can still see a brightening result~
TipIt doesn't seem to have a significant effect on pigmentation spots, so it would be good to use this together with another spot-targeting serum~

The absorption is also really good :) I'm not sure about the long-term effects since I haven't been using it for long, but one thing's for sure - my face has become brighter. The brightening effect seems to be really strong!
ConsSince I have oily skin, the pores seem to be getting a bit oily over time. But I think this is more of an issue with my skin type ㅠㅠ

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI didn't have high expectations for the original whitening serum, but I've been using this product since before the Hwahae Trial Reviewers used it. After using it for a day or two, I didn't notice much, but after about a week of use, my complexion started to look brighter. It's not drying at all and is very moisturizing, and my skin has become more radiant rather than just getting whiter. I even purchased the cream to use along with it, but the serum has been more helpful than the cream. The effect is more of an overall brightening of the skin rather than just fading of blemishes. Fragrance - Fragrance-free Texture - Just right between watery and creamy Ingredients - No harmful ingredients
ConsAround the time of use, there is sometimes a powdery residue that forms at the opening, but it can be dissolved and used again.
TipWhen I do a modeling pack, I pump the serum in twice and use it together, and this helps the modeling pack not dry out too much and leaves a nice, moisturized finish.
