Pros
The fragrance is nice, it's moisturizing and great. When I apply it generously as a base, my skin becomes moisturized. Even though I have severe inner dryness, I'm using it well.
Cons
There's nothing particularly disappointing. I bought it cheaply and have been applying it generously.

Pros
The purple container looks really pretty haha I prefer unscented products, and this one has almost no scent, which I like. It's a bit watery, but the pump dispenses it directly onto the face, and I can spread it with my fingers, which is nice. The effects aren't dramatic, but my face does seem to look brighter. The ingredients are good, and even with my sensitive skin, I've been using it without any trouble.^^
Cons
None None If I had to use it, it would be great if the price was affordable.^^

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
✔️The scent is pleasant When applied, it has a refreshing fragrance, and after washing, it feels invigorating. That's why it feels like it cools and calms you down. The scent is also not too strong, just a pleasant feeling. ✔️Good spreadability and absorption My skin is on the drier side, and I applied this serum first after cleansing. Since it has a watery texture, it gets absorbed quickly, leaving a smooth and soft feel. It doesn't linger on the surface like a moisturizer, but it also addresses the inner dryness. It seems to be effective in tackling dryness. ✔️Skin tone improvement The period was too short to see significant whitening or blemish improvement effects, but I'm not sure if I noticed much of a change. If the skin looks brighter, then it must be working, but I'm not sure if I'm a slow responder. However, since it's a serum and not a whitening product, the fact that it contains whitening ingredients is actually a plus.
Cons
✔️The price is a bit high considering the amount used. As a whitening product, I don't have high expectations, but it does seem to be a good serum for tackling dryness. However, I wouldn't say it's the only product I need to use.

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
It absorbs quickly and didn't really cause any trouble! The scent is not one that would be offensive to anyone, and the texture is comfortable for everyone to apply. The pump dispenses just the right amount. As for the most important function of fading blemishes, I've only used it for about 10 days so far, so I'll need to use it more to know for sure, but I do feel like the blemishes have faded to some degree.
Cons
The price-to-volume ratio is disappointing (I received it for free as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but if I were to buy it directly, I would compare it to Isoi). Since I haven't used it enough yet, I can't say for certain about the effectiveness.

Pros
Skin type: dry or combination (changes with the seasons 😥) ⭐️ What I liked: 1. Fragrance: When I first opened it and pumped it, the fragrance was not too stimulating. It's not the typical irritating and artificial fragrance of cosmetics, but rather a refreshing aroma like that of seaweed, kelp, and laver extracts, so it's a perfect 100 points for me who usually dislikes stimulating fragrances!!!!! The cool ocean-like fragrance comes from the inclusion of marine extracts like seaweed, kelp, and laver. 👍🏻 2. Texture: It's light and watery, with amazing absorption! I usually have dry skin but hate the sticky and greasy feeling, so I prefer refreshing essence creams. This one gets absorbed immediately, leaving a refreshing finish while still providing moisture. ㅎㅎ Those with extremely dry skin can mix it with a cream for better results. The pump packaging is also great for hygiene as you can dispense the right amount. I prefer the pump type over the dropper as it's more hygienic in my opinion. ㅎㅎ 3. Most important effect!!! After using it diligently morning and night for a week, my skin texture has become smoother! I usually have freckles, so I'll need to use it more consistently to see the results. I wanted to attach before and after photos, but I'll upload them after a month of use since freckles don't disappear overnight. While I'm not sure about the freckle-fading effect yet, the rough areas on my cheeks caused by mask-wearing have definitely improved! 4. Trouble!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a pimple near my nose from wearing a mask, but after applying it diligently morning and night, it had a soothing effect! I mixed a bit of tea tree oil into the serum and it worked great for the trouble, so I'm really happy!!!!! I recommend this to anyone who wants to get a soothing effect for their troubles.😉
Cons
The only downside seems to be the price! While I'm still unsure about the texture, fragrance, and brightening effects, I'm satisfied with the results for trouble/blemishes. If the price was a bit lower, this would be a serum I'd want to stock up on and use regularly. 😭😭😭
Tip
1. For troubled skin, I mixed it with the La Roche-Posay cream or tea tree oil, and the effects were doubled! 2. For those with dry skin, I recommend using a cream after the serum. I personally prefer the refreshing finish, but those with dry skin may feel it's a bit drying.😂 3. I recommend applying it before makeup, as it doesn't cause any pilling. Makeup applies really well on top of it. ㅎㅎ When I choose the wrong cream, it can sometimes pill or move around, especially near the nose area, but I didn't experience any of that with this serum. Layering it lightly before makeup is the way to go.😉

Pros
I really liked the product! First of all, the packaging is so pretty... It's the exact shade of blue that I love! It already put me in a good mood before even trying it. When I first pumped it, there was a slight refreshing scent that I enjoyed. It wasn't too strong or overpowering, just a subtle fragrance that didn't bother me when applying. This product is for wrinkle improvement and whitening, but realistically, one week is too short a time to fully experience its effects...ㅠㅠ However, coincidentally(?), the serum I was using before receiving this product was also for wrinkles and whitening, and the cream I've been using with it has also been helpful for wrinkles and whitening! So maybe that's why I felt my skin getting brighter over time. Another great thing about this product is that my makeup applies so smoothly and evenly on top of it...!!!!!!! Patting it in helps it absorb well, and (along with my other skincare products) my base makeup just clings so nicely to my skin!! It's like my foundation and my skin have become one... Overall, I've been using this product very satisfactorily for the past week.
Cons
The disappointing part is... I received this product as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but the regular price is just too expensive, boo hoo... Also, as I mentioned above, there is a refreshing minty scent, and because of that, I would sometimes feel a slight tingling sensation on my skin when applying it about 1-2 times out of 10 applications ㅠㅠ But it didn't happen every time, so it could just be an issue with my skin condition!

Pros
1. Fragrance At first, when I pumped it out, there was a slight herbal scent, but when I applied it to my face, the fragrance was not as strong, almost unscented, which I liked. 2. Spreadability Personally, I found other serums from the same brand to be a bit sticky, but this one felt very moisturizing. I thought it might feel sticky after application, but I didn't experience that at all. It felt more like applying a toner. 3. Oil Control I'm very sensitive to oiliness, but I couldn't really feel any oiliness. However, over time, the T-zone did get a bit shiny, but the shininess decreased, which I thought was good. 4. Liquid Type It's a clear, water-like type, so it applies and absorbs easily. 5. Brightening Effect I used it consistently for 2 weeks, and I definitely felt that my skin looked brighter (personal opinion). 6. Summer Usage In the summer, there's usually a lot of oil in the air, but with this serum, I was able to use it along with just a toner and cream, which was good for the summer season.
Cons
I don't really have any major negatives. This might become my favorite serum. However, I'm not sure if it's just me, but there seems to be a slight stinging sensation when I apply it.
Tip
Storing it in the refrigerator could provide a cooling effect and enhance the brightening benefits.

Pros
The texture is light and absorbs quickly, which was very satisfactory given that the formulation itself is a highly concentrated serum. The scent is refreshing and crisp, but it doesn't linger for too long, and I was even more satisfied that I couldn't really smell it once applied to my skin. Using it in the morning left my skin feeling hydrated throughout the afternoon, which I really enjoyed.
Cons
Since I haven't used it for a long time yet, I don't have any particular disappointments to mention.
Tip
Those with dry skin types will likely find that using this in the morning keeps their skin feeling moisturized until the afternoon.
