First of all, my skin type is combination (dry and oily). My skin is severely dehydrated, but it also produces an excessive amount of oil. My face tends to get flushed, and I sometimes get breakouts (usually before my period or when using sensitive products). In terms of texture, it has a very runny, not too thick or too thin consistency. It has an incredible amount of tiny particles (?) in it, so it feels like it's going to provide a ton of nourishment to the skin. The scent is practically non-existent. I thought it might have a refreshing vitamin-like scent since the color is bright, but it's truly fragrance-free, which would be great for those sensitive to scents. Based on my experience using it a few times, those of us with oily skin might find it a bit heavy to use in the morning. The absorption is decent, but it doesn't sink in as weightlessly as some products. That's why I only used it in the evenings. Honestly, I didn't notice any significant changes after using it for 2 weeks. But I did have some breakouts on my forehead, and after applying this, I felt like they were slightly calmed down. Maybe it's because it helped replenish the moisture? Perhaps the nourishment it provides also helped. Anyway, I'll finish the whole bottle and see if I want to repurchase it. I did like the hydrating sensation it gave my skin.
ConsI don't have any major complaints, but I think I would prefer a pump dispenser over the dropper. Since this is a vitamin-related product, the dropper feels a bit too exposed, and constantly dipping it in and out might affect the efficacy. But other than that, I didn't experience any negative effects like breakouts or anything. I enjoyed the fragrance-free formula, and the hydrating sensation it provided.

It absorbs into the skin very quickly and maintains a nice, dewy feel. Scent: There is almost no scent, which I personally really liked. Ingredients: The ingredients are blah blah blah ~ not at all irritating! Spread: Even though there are vitamin capsules in the serum that feel like little grains, the serum absorbs incredibly fast and I couldn't feel the particles at all! As a sensitive skin type, I'm glad there was no irritation from friction.
ConsBrightening effect: Although this is a brightening product, I didn't really notice any brightening effects. My acne scars, freckles, and overall skin tone seem the same.
TipFor those of you with dry skin like me, it's essential to use a moisturizing cream that provides both hydration and nourishment before applying the serum🥺

Product usage period: 2021.07.29 - 2021.08.06 One-line review: A godsend product that saved my oil-lacking skin among the moisture-only summer serums 1) Texture • The product contains many tiny granule-like particles. They disappear quickly when rubbed after application, leaving no grittiness or residue. • Not too watery, not too thick - about the viscosity of a runny nose toner. 2) Fragrance • Completely fragrance-free 3) Packaging • Dropper-type. It's easy to draw out the full amount of product from the dropper. 4) Usage experience • After cleansing, the application feels lightweight and slightly refreshing on the skin. • Absorbs quite well, faster than similar-textured products. 5) Effects (with photos attached) While there were no dramatic changes over the 10 days of use, some improvements were observed: • Redness reduction - Faded the reddish marks left after blemish extractions. • Complexion improvement - Despite less sleep and fatigue in the after photo, the skin tone looked more even and slightly brighter. • Sebum-moisture balance 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 - My skin is generally in good condition and not sensitive, but the seasonal changes often disrupt the sebum-moisture balance, leading to unresolved oiliness, bumpiness, and roughness, especially in the summer when my skin is dry. This product provided just the right amount of oil and moisture, perfectly balancing my skin for the summer.
Cons• I did not find any major issues with the product. • Personally, I prefer products with a scent during my skincare routine, so the fragrance-free aspect was a bit disappointing, but this is a highly subjective preference and not a problem.
Tip✨✨✨Strongly recommend this product as a summer skincare item that perfectly balances sebum and moisture!✨✨✨ ✨✨✨It did not leave my skin overly dry or oily, whether used alone or after cleansing.✨✨✨

When I apply it at night and go to sleep, my complexion looks brighter the next morning! There are some granular particles in the serum, but it absorbs well even without having to break them. These days, I've been experiencing a lot of stress and my skin has become very sensitive due to wearing masks, and my blemishes have also worsened. However, after using this, no new blemishes appeared. I have combination skin, and after applying the toner and serum, my skin has a nice, moderate level of moisture. I think it's because of the jojoba oil ingredient! In the summer, just using the toner and serum seems to be enough.
ConsWhile there is an effect of brightening the complexion, there is no noticeable whitening effect.
TipIt seems to work even better if you store it in the refrigerator and use it!

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.Pros- Ingredients: Since my skin is quite sensitive, I only use products with good ingredients. This product also has excellent ingredients. As a result, it felt gentle and non-irritating, and I did not experience any breakouts or skin sensitivity. - Effects: Upon closer inspection, there are tiny capsules that contain jojoba seed oil and vitamin E, which are said to help balance moisture levels. The vitamin components are also stated to help keep the skin clear. After using it, I found that it did a great job of balancing my moisture levels. My skin tends to be dry, but I did not feel any dryness after applying this serum. - Texture: The texture is somewhere between water and a soothing gel. It absorbed into my skin very well. During the absorption process, the texture transformed into a water-like, hydrating state. After absorption, my skin had a radiant glow, and there was a slight tacky feeling, but it provided ample moisture. - Fragrance: I am also sensitive to fragrances, but this product seems to have almost no scent, so there should be no issues with it. - Packaging: It has a dropper-type packaging, which is very hygienic for use, so I am very satisfied with it. - Makeup Application: After applying this serum, I only need to use a small amount of cream, and my skin looks very smooth when I apply makeup. The adequate moisture prevents the makeup from caking or feeling dry.
Cons- Some people who really enjoy refreshing products may find the slightly tacky feeling unpleasant. The moisture level is similar to after using a sheet mask. - While the vitamin components are said to help with brightening, I have not yet noticed significant whitening effects. I will need to use it more consistently to see those results.

There are granules, but they absorb well and don't feel gritty. The absorption is quick, so layering and applying doesn't feel burdensome. It has a moisturizing feel, not sticky, and seems suitable for summer use. It might also work well for dry skin types, but I'm not sure about its performance in winter.
ConsI've only used it for about a week, so I think I need to use it for a bit longer to see the whitening effects. I can't really tell the difference visually 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.Pros★Here's a review after receiving and using the Hwahae Trial Reviewer!★ First of all, the formula was slightly runny and not too sticky. It's definitely a vitamin product, so there's an immediate brightening effect on the skin tone when applied.ㅋㅋㅋ Although it doesn't last long..ㅜ I feel like if used consistently, the tone will get brighter. Since it's a vitamin capsule, there were some crushed bits in it.ㅎㅎ When I first received the product, I was actually worried about using a serum with capsules in it, as I've never had any issues with breakouts before. But this one was fine! Right after application, there's a slightly slippery feeling, but that goes away quickly! As long as you don't use too much, it leaves a lovely, soft finish that I really love. I usually just use one pump from the dropper! The scent is citrusy..? with a hint of crayon..? The fragrance itself isn't overpowering, so it's not an issue if you don't actively smell it. I have very dry skin and am prone to dehydration, so the products I'm using now are all in the moisture line. This product also didn't leave my skin feeling dry after application, which was great! However, for those with very dry and dehydrated skin like me, it's still best to use this alongside a moisturizing product. ‐---------‐------------------------ This is a winter product for the dry-skinned! I think I received this product just as summer was approaching, and when I tried using it, my face felt too stuffy and slightly sticky, so I didn't reach for it much. But after finishing my previous winter products, I saw this and decided to use it, and wow, it's perfect for winter! This is for the dry-skinned..! My previous product was too lightweight, and even after a full skincare routine, my skin would still feel a bit tight and dry. But with this, it's not sticky at all (of course, with proper application) and there's no dryness at all! I think the initial slight oiliness helps with that. I'm very satisfied and will definitely be reaching for this again in the winter! :)
ConsI have some acne bumps, so I go to get extractions done once a week. After the extractions, other moisturizing products were fine, but when I applied this product, it stung quite a bit. I was really worried it might cause breakouts the next day, but thankfully it was okay!!! I'm so relieved. However, I think it's better not to use this right after extractions!! Personally, I find my skin is a bit sensitive for the day of the extractions and the following day, so I recommend not using this product on the day of the extractions and the next day.

Since I usually use a combination of <moisture + jojoba oil>, it felt like a perfect match when combined, and looking at the ingredients, I felt 'Ah, that's why!' ✔️I really like this product because it's fragrance-free ✔️Lately, due to the weather, food, and hormones, I've had painful, inflamed acne on my face that I really disliked. This product appeared like a savior! When used with the Gusspot, two cheek acne disappeared and my skin tone improved within two days! ✔️After toner (* Test on your own skin to see if it causes any trouble before using), 🌟apply the refreshing serum to your face and roll it in! + Apply cream + Gusspot
Cons✔️It's a pity that the brand is unfamiliar to many people. ✔️The price is reasonable, but it would be even better if there were a little more discounts available through online or Hwahae.
Tip✔️Use it refreshingly ✔️If you're using a product with vitamins or retinol, don't use them together all at once. Use them on alternate days or according to your skin cycle.

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 a medium-type serum that is neither too firm nor too soft. Interestingly, it contains white granules in a yellowish liquid. If the serum is too soft, it can give a dry feeling, and if it's too firm, it can irritate the skin during application, but this just-right texture maintains moisture without irritation. The granules melt smoothly on the skin without irritation, and the appropriate absorption rate and neither heavy nor light moisture make it a good choice for dry skin in the summer. As a dry-skinned person, I've been using it as my summer favorite and it absorbs well without an oily or heavy feel, giving a radiant glow to the skin. Typically, whitening products can be harsh on sensitive or troubled skin, but this product containing vitamins did not cause any irritation or breakouts for my highly sensitive skin, which is quite impressive as I've had issues with many vitamin products in the past. The packaging allows easy visibility of the remaining product, and the dropper dispenses the contents well without any inconvenience. Whether it's the sunscreen I diligently apply or the serum, one of them is definitely keeping my skin looking radiant these days. After cleansing and toning, applying this serum immediately gives a subtle glow to my face.
ConsWhile the transparent packaging allows easy visibility of the remaining product, it is a bit concerning that vitamins are known to be vulnerable to UV light. Having to repeatedly take it out from and put it back on my vanity when using it is also slightly inconvenient. The useful feature of checking the remaining amount is offset by the anxiety that it may degrade due to exposure to sunlight. As mentioned in the positives, it is unclear whether this product is truly responsible for brightening my skin or if the radiance is simply a result of the glow it provides. Despite using it consistently for 2 weeks, I haven't noticed a significant visible brightening of my skin, leaving me a bit uncertain about its whitening efficacy.
TipFor those who prefer a radiant complexion, this serum would be a great choice. It applies smoothly without pilling when layering makeup, and the luminous glow it provides looks beautiful.

First of all, I have very sensitive skin, so if I apply something wrong, it immediately turns red and inflamed. This serum has some granules in it, so I was a little nervous. But the granules were not irritating at all, and they melted smoothly as soon as body temperature touched them. ✏️Packaging. The dropper-type packaging allowed me to use it hygienically. ✏️Texture. When I dropped it on my face, it flowed down smoothly, like egg white. ✏️Fragrance. It's almost fragrance-free. ✏️Oil-moisture balance. The moisture was quickly absorbed first, leaving a slight oily coating. However, it had a slightly sticky feel that was difficult to use before makeup or in the middle of summer. So I used it before bedtime. ✏️Packaging. The box and cushioning all used only paper, so it was eco-friendly and had no unnecessary elements. I'm glad there was no plastic.
ConsSince it was advertised as a vitamin whitening product, I, with my limited knowledge, only used it at night before bed. I wish there had been more detailed instructions on how to use it more effectively.
TipIt would be better to store and use it in a cool place.
