Cons* It's way too heavy and oily for oily skin types. 😢 If oily-skinned folks want to use it, it would be better to incorporate it only into your nighttime routine. * You have to be really careful with the amount you use. It takes a while to absorb, so it's best to use just a little.

[Packaging] The dropper makes it easy to control the amount. And since the bottle is transparent, I can easily check how much is left, which is great. [Fragrance] There's almost no fragrance! When I applied it to my face with the dropper, I thought I detected a slight rubber? scent, but when I sniffed it on the back of my hand, there was no smell at all. The slight rubber scent seems to be from the dropper itself :) [Texture] When I applied it to my face with the dropper, the formula wasn't too runny, so it didn't just flow down immediately, but spread nicely. I thought the texture might be a bit heavy, but when I massaged it in, the little capsules disappeared and it applied smoothly! [Usage Experience] I used it for 2 weeks and didn't get any breakouts at all. On the first day, my skin felt a bit irritated and stung slightly, but my skin gradually went back to normal, and after that, it didn't sting at all! [Finish] It absorbs quickly and leaves a non-sticky, soft finish. After it's absorbed, my skin feels supple to the touch😆 I was able to try the product because I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, but I personally really liked it and plan to purchase it.😊
ConsOn the first day of use, my cheeks felt slightly irritated. So the first time I used it, that area stung a bit! (I thought it might be because of the lemon extract) I also tried using it on its own. Using it alone, I felt like something was a bit lacking. It felt like I needed to apply something else on top. It does a good job of providing moisture and oil, but the driest areas on my face still felt a bit dehydrated (but applying a bit of my regular lotion on top fixed that right away).
TipIt can be a bit drying, but just applying a bit of lotion on top fixes that right away! I only need to use half the amount of my regular lotion, so personally, I think it's better for me in this hot weather, as I don't have to layer on a heavy skincare routine.

I felt that the moisturizing was very good. My cheeks used to be completely rough and flaky, making it difficult to apply makeup, but after using this product, the skin flakes have significantly subsided and my skin is now smooth. Moreover, I'm quite sensitive, and even a small mismatch would cause my skin to go haywire, but this product didn't irritate my skin at all, and it even helped calm my acne. And normally when I wake up, the skin on my cheeks gets completely absorbed and becomes dry, but with this product, there's an appropriate amount of moisture left even after waking up, which I liked. Even though I've only used it for 2 weeks, I've definitely seen a lot of effects, so I recommend it. There are also vitamin capsules, but they're not too irritating, with particles that aren't too large, and they dissolve quickly. The amount is also quite generous, so I think it will last for quite a while! Even the fragrance-free aspect is great for those who have aversions to scents. In summary, this is an excellent moisturizing product, and I recommend it for those with sensitive, dry, extremely dry, and combination skin (for combination skin, apply only to the cheeks).
ConsIt has a slightly viscous texture, and since it's a good moisturizing product, oily-skinned individuals may find it a bit heavy. As for me, I have combination skin, with my cheeks being extremely dry and cracked, while my T-zone is extremely oily. When I applied it all over, I found that upon waking up, the T-zone was too oily and shiny. I think this product would be better suited for those with dry or extremely dry skin.
TipWhen I mixed it with a modeling pack, I definitely felt the moisturizing effect improve, so I often mixed and used it when doing modeling packs.

ConsApplies like water, but feels uncomfortable and unpleasant after absorption Feels heavy after application, like there's something covering the face and it's stuffy Oil quickly comes up to the surface within a short time Acne flares up, it gets better when not using, but comes back when using it again
TipSuitable for combination to dry skin types Recommend applying it more in the evening than in the morning

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.ProsI have combination skin with dryness and sensitivity. The formula is a watery, viscous capsule type that spreads well without being too difficult to apply. It doesn't absorb super quickly, but after a few minutes it sinks in nicely without feeling heavy or sticky. I really appreciate the fresh, lightweight finish. While the long-term whitening effects are unclear, it does give a temporary luminous glow that makes my skin look more radiant. There's also no redness or irritation from the vitamin ingredients, and the subtle herbal scent is pleasant, though unscented is probably better for sensitive skin.
ConsThe short usage period makes it hard to assess the whitening effects for sure. Even with lightweight products, oily skin types tend to get shiny after a while, and this one does get a bit oily faster than some. It's a balancing formula, but leans more towards an oily feel than hydrating. I think it would work better as a nighttime product than a daily one. Update: After using about 2/3 of the product, I can confirm it does have a slightly heavy, oily texture. Even with good ingredients, it may be a bit much for very oily skin types and would work better as a serum for nighttime use.

The right amount of oil helped lock in moisture, resulting in excellent oil-water balance and less tightness. It also smoothed out my skin texture and gave it a healthy glow. With continued use, I think it could even help improve my freckles.
ConsFor those with sensitive or thin skin, it may be slightly irritating. The vitamin ingredients caused a slight stinging sensation when applied. While it's not an issue for dry skin types, oily skin individuals may find the serum-like texture a bit too rich.

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.ProsI was really happy that all the ingredients were green-rated, and even happier that it was fragrance-free. I tend to get severe eye twitching side effects when I use strongly scented cosmetics. When I first applied it with my hands, there was a slightly rough texture due to the serum containing little capsules, but they melted away quickly, and it went on smoothly. After applying the toner, the serum made my skin feel very hydrated. Even in the middle of summer, just using the toner and serum didn't leave my skin feeling tight at all. I think this would be even better to use when the weather is dry. I've been using it for the past few days and haven't experienced any side effects. The expiration date is also very generous, all the way until March 18, 2024.
ConsEven though it was supposed to be fragrance-free, there was a slight oily smell that I didn't like. I think it would be even better if it had a subtle, pleasant fragrance.

Even if a product is good, I don't use it if the fragrance doesn't suit me. This product is fragrance-free, so I think it would be suitable for anyone's preference. Also, without the fragrance, the product seems to rely on its ingredients and effects, which made me have high expectations. 2. For cosmetics that you directly apply to your hands, I often imagine that the product will get dirty over time as it interacts with the impurities on my hands. However, this Luminous Serum has a dropper format, so I can dispense the right amount without my hands getting dirty, which was great for cleanliness and convenience. 3. The vitamin capsules inside the product did not cause any inconvenience or disruption to the application, and actually gave me a sense of more healthiness compared to other serums. 4. These days, my skin has become quite sensitive to cosmetics, but this Luminous Serum did not cause any irritation. It put my mind at ease, allowing me to use it comfortably like a healing treatment.
ConsAs my skin is oily, over time (about an hour later), I felt a slightly greasy sensation, like a protective layer forming. The application also felt a bit slippery on the skin, causing a slightly stuffy feeling, which was a bit uncomfortable. For those with oily skin, the slightly excessive oil content was a bit disappointing.
TipI think it would be good to use this product in the winter or to store it in the refrigerator and then apply it as a mask. After using the product for 3-4 hours and then cleansing my face again before bed, I felt that my skin had become much softer than before. :) Thank you.

The dryness seems to be somewhat relieved. It seems suitable for daily use as well! Even though my face gets dry in the summer and the oil production increases a lot, I don't feel dryness when using this product.
ConsI'm not sure if it's because of the shea butter ingredient, but it's quite oily. However, it's not sticky and greasy! I wouldn't particularly recommend it to those with oily skin types...
TipIt's better to avoid using this product together with other greasy products.

These days, with masks, the fragrance of cosmetics vibrating inside the mask has become a major advantage of being odorless. 2 ☆Extremely gentle☆ ; Among the vitamin product line, this is one of the gentlest. Even though vitamin products generally come with some irritation, I didn't experience any short-term irritation after application. However, please note that vitamin products tend to suit me well. 3 Ingredients ; I'm pleased with the blend of various vitamins. 4 Smooth finish ; I'm not a big fan of the sticky finish typical of nutrient-rich serums, as I worry about dust and irritation. But this just leaves a nicely moisturized finish, and the absorption is good. 5 Texture ; It has a slightly grainy texture, like wet tissue paper, but among products with granules, this one melts into the skin very well. 6 Packaging ; This is the first time I've used a cosmetic with a dropper cap, and the dosage control is excellent.
Cons1 The reason I took off a star is that my skin is on the oily side. Even when I apply just a single drop, rubbing it into the face, it seems to stimulate oil production, and my skin gets oily quite quickly (after about 3 days of use, I started getting some small blemishes, so I ended up passing it on to my mom). It seems more suitable for combination skin types.
