Pros
It may be because it's winter, but I definitely feel that my skin tone has brightened! The spreadability is also quite good. It's great to apply before the cream!
Cons
The tone seems to have improved, but I'm not sure if the blemishes have disappeared yet!

Pros
This is the first time I've used this product, and I'm extremely satisfied with the two ampoule/serum products I've used so far. While it seemed a bit watery, it absorbed into my skin better than expected, leaving it supple and moisturized. It's not super concentrated, but it applies smoothly and absorbs well without feeling heavy. My skin stays hydrated for a long time, even without using a lot of other products. I'll definitely repurchase when I run out.
Cons
There's nothing disappointing at all! Since it's not in a dropper format, I can just dispense it directly onto my skin, which is much more convenient and better.

Pros
The subtle herbal scent? It seems to apply smoothly and provide adequate moisture.
Cons
It's a dark spot correcting product, but I'm still not sure about it. I'll need to use it a bit more.

Pros
First, let's highlight the best aspects: 1. Excellent absorption and smooth application The toner absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky even right after application! The application is incredibly smooth and moisturizing, making the absorption even faster. This means that when you apply a cream on top, it doesn't feel heavy or suffocating. 2. Pleasant fragrance Personally, I prefer unscented cosmetics, but this serum has a refreshing mint scent from the 'Marine Therapy' product name, which I really enjoy. It puts me in a good mood every time I use it.🥰 3. Improved skin tone While my skin tone didn't dramatically brighten up in the one week I've used it, I did notice my slightly uneven and dull complexion becoming more uniform. The product also claims to improve wrinkles, but I haven't seen those effects yet.
Cons
Based on the short usage period, the main downside is that the serum's primary function as a whitening product means it didn't have a significant effect on hydrating my skin. However, when I apply a cream on top, it still performs its basic moisturizing role well. And as I mentioned earlier, the wrinkle improvement is still unclear to me. I'll need to use it for over a month to better judge the brightening effects. Other than that, there's no irritation on my skin, the application is great, and the moisture level is just right, so I don't have any other complaints. ㅎㅎ +I'll come back with an additional review after a month of use.

Pros
"Good spreadability and absorption" I'm not quite sure about the whitening effect, as it was short-lived. Rather than feeling like my burned face became whiter, it seems the complexion became brighter. After washing my face, I feel like my face looks a bit clearer. If the price is reasonable, I'd like to use it consistently. Since it doesn't disappear as quickly as I thought, I'll try applying more and add a review later! I applied it consistently in the evenings, and sometimes in the mornings and evenings, using 2 pumps per application. 1. Spreadability It has a non-sticky, moisture-rich spreadability. It flows more easily than aloe gel! 2. Absorption It absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave any residue or stick to my hair. 3. Moisturizing I'm not sure if the moisturizing is exceptional. I always applied 2 pumps because I wanted to apply a generous amount. If it wasn't enough, I'd add more. Perhaps due to the quick absorption, my skin doesn't feel constantly damp. However, the next morning, my skin was not dry and felt soft. 4. Skin Type I'm not even sure about my own skin type. It used to be oily, but at some point, it became less oily and clearer. These days, with the transition to spring and summer, I sometimes feel dryness. I suspect it might be combination skin.
Cons
The absorption is fast, but there's a slightly sticky feeling before it fully dries. It's like a weak glue-like sensation... That was a bit disappointing. But it goes away soon, so it's not a major flaw. I checked the price, and that's the disappointing part! For dry skin types, it might be drying! Of course, you wouldn't use it alone, but a moisturizer would be necessary.
Tip
If you apply a moisturizer over the serum before it's fully absorbed, the coolness and moisture feel great. Pumping it onto your forehead is more convenient than the palm of your hand. It's best to avoid using it when your skin is sensitive, like after exfoliating. Occasionally, there's a very faint stinging sensation that lasts about 3 minutes. That kind of... tingling feeling was present at times.

Pros
The serum has good spreadability. It's a bit more viscous than a toner, but not overly thick, more like an essence. It doesn't absorb immediately, but leaves a slight moisturizing sensation after a short while. After absorption, you can feel the moisturizing effect. While there's no immediate visible change, after using it diligently morning and night, my skin's blemishes do appear a bit less noticeable. I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, so I've been using this serum and the ah* eye cream and ma*de cream, without the ampoules I used to use. However, using just the serum and eye cream wasn't enough, as my skin felt a bit dry. For the first few days, my skin felt slightly scratchy and rough, and my pores felt a bit stingy during bathing. But it wasn't a major adverse reaction, just a slight adjustment period. After about a week, I didn't notice much change, but then my skin started looking a bit clearer. However, as a woman in my 50s, I could still feel some sagging and my freckles remained. So after about 10 days, I started using this serum along with the we*lla ampoule, and noticed my freckles fading a bit. The biggest advantage of this product is that it feels gentle, even on my extremely sensitive skin. The scent is a refreshing masculine fragrance, like a marine cologne, that dissipates quickly without interfering with other perfumes. The bottle design is a nice, cool-toned color that makes me feel good every time I see it. If you have sensitive skin, struggle with exfoliation, or are short on time, this serum could be a good option for basic skincare maintenance.
Cons
During initial use, there was a slight scratchy sensation for a few days, which made me a bit skeptical. Within the Hwahae trial period, it's difficult to see major effects using just this serum. The serum pump has a very thick nozzle, so you have to use your finger to dispense it, otherwise it all gets stuck on the pump.
Tip
For those of us in an older age group, using an ampoule after this serum seems to enhance the effects. It feels like the serum prepares the skin. Personally, it reminds me a bit of a more affordable version of the es*tee lauder brown bottle, but my skin doesn't feel as smooth.

Pros
The whitening serum should be used for at least 2 weeks... It's a bit disappointing that I had to review the product after using it for only 1 week, right after it arrived. However, it's a type that can be used without any aversion, and while it's whitening, it's also quite moisturizing, which is good. It absorbs well and has good spreadability, so it's not sticky at all!
Cons
The whitening effect is a bit disappointing. Since I only used it for a week, there isn't a dramatic effect, but I do feel like my skin is gradually getting lighter. It seems to be the right timing for that. It's a product that can be used without any issues.
Tip
Rather than having high expectations for the whitening effect, if you approach it as a moisturizing serum that also has a whitening effect, you'll be very satisfied with this product. I wanted to attach a photo, but it's difficult to judge objectively due to the difference in morning and evening lighting, or natural vs. artificial lighting, after just one week of use.
