I'm already using the Madeca cream, you know! I heard this serum improves inner glow, hydration, and dead skin cells, so I gave it a shot. The hydration and glow are truly amazing. The texture is thick and rich, and when applying, it feels a bit tacky. It's even a bit difficult to dispense with the dropper, but it spreads smoothly on the face, creating a moisturizing barrier. As soon as you apply it, you feel this instant hydration and firmness. It also gives your skin a nice glow. However, it doesn't absorb quickly for that fresh feeling, and the stickiness lasts for a while. I think this would be great for those with deep dryness, rough skin, or anyone who feels their skin texture has worsened!
ConsWell... the drawbacks would be the difficulty in dispensing it with the dropper and the fact that you can't apply makeup right after using this. Sometimes the texture can feel a bit heavy. I wouldn't recommend it for those who dislike heavy or suffocating products!
TipIt's better for night than day! The texture makes it a bit challenging for daytime makeup. It takes more time to let the serum absorb fully, apply cream, and then do makeup. That's why I think it works best as a night serum. For those with severe dehydration, use it as a night serum in your evening skincare routine, and you'll wake up with lasting hydration. I've been using it as a night serum, and I'm experiencing benefits in hydration, soothing, and even firmness!

After using about half of it, I will leave a review. First of all, this serum is more suitable for dry skin that feels tight. The texture is viscous and sticky like honey, so I mainly used it as a night care product. It is quite rich. So this product seems to be more effective for dry skin than oily skin. Therefore, I would recommend this product more for winter than summer. In summer, when it's already hot, applying a sticky product like this would be undesirable. The product has a similar feel to a snail cream. It's not unscented, it has a unique fragrance. As I'm sensitive to smells, I may be perceiving it more strongly, but the fragrance doesn't significantly bother me when applying the product. There's no tightness, and I recommend this high-moisture product to those with dry skin. By the way, I saw some reviews saying this product caused irritation and redness, but I didn't experience any such side effects. It's best to try the tester first before purchasing.
ConsI didn't really like the thick texture, and when I applied it to my skin, my hair and other things would stick to it, which was inconvenient. It's good for moisturizing, but every time I tossed and turned in bed, I felt uneasy thinking about it getting on the bedding.
TipThe price is not particularly inexpensive, so you should wait for it to go on sale~! This product goes on sale frequently.

I usually love the dewy skin look, but the Centellian Formula cream was too heavy and rich to use in summer, so I bought this as an alternative. It might not be ideal for oily skin, but it's perfect for dry skin. For better absorption, I recommend patting it in vigorously.
ConsThe slightly sticky texture is a bit disappointing, but the results on my skin after application are very satisfying.
TipPat it in vigorously for better absorption

ConsI'm someone who's always complimented on my skin wherever I go. I have resilient, steel-like skin that rarely gets blemishes no matter what I apply. When winter came, I felt some deep dryness, so I thought this might help and bought two bottles... Well, I was already using Dongkook Madeca Cream successfully, so I figured this would be good too. On the first day, I applied it and thought, 'Wow, it's really moisturizing and rich!' I felt like I made a good purchase. But then I noticed my hair was sticking to it a lot - can't be helped, I guess. The next day, the parts that touched my pillow started to itch, and red bumps appeared. I wondered if it was the pillow's fault and even washed the pillowcase. I used this every 3-4 days, but each time I used it, my skin would react and get itchy the next day, so I realized this was the culprit. I tried using less, mixing just one drop with my regular cream. It was a bit better, but still itchy with bumps. Sigh... what should I do with this? I can't throw it away, so I'm using it on my heels for hydration. I even gave a bottle to my mom saying it was good. Mom, I'm sorry...

To give you an honest review after use, I'm so satisfied that I'd like to keep purchasing it for the dry season. 1. Product Packaging The serum comes in a glass bottle with a dropper, making it easy to control the amount and use hygienically. 2. Texture While it could be a drawback for some, the rich texture can be an advantage for those with dry skin types. Unlike typical runny serums, this one has a thicker consistency. 3. Application I apply it right after cleansing and toning. It spreads on the skin with a plumping effect, so much so that you could skip other moisturizers. Despite its rich texture, it absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling deeply hydrated and firm on the surface. 4. Overall Review With consistent use, my skin feels more elastic than before - which is great! I love how it enhances my skin's glow. The brightening patented ingredients seem to revive my dull complexion. I'm thrilled that the Inner Glow isn't just temporary but long-lasting. Plus, thanks to the Centella Asiatica extract, it's great for soothing blemish marks and providing hydration.
ConsAs it's quite rich for a serum, it might feel heavy at first, but with continued use, its moisturizing power becomes an advantage, especially in dry weather. The texture might be hit or miss for some people. I wouldn't really recommend it for summer use.
TipYou can get a discounted duo set on Market C*! Apply it before foundation for a dewy, glowing complexion.

I used it well in both summer and winter.
ConsThe texture is extremely thick, so you need to apply it quickly before your toner dries. Otherwise, it can feel heavy on the skin.
TipWhen you apply this after your toner and before foundation, it creates a slightly sticky base. I found that foundation adheres really well to this.

The hydration is excellent, and I apply it as the final step in my winter skincare routine.
ConsThe glow is quite intense, so I find it more suitable for winter use rather than summer.

It's more rich in texture than hydrating, so I'd recommend it for dry skin types rather than oily, and it's better suited for winter use than summer. The price is reasonable, making it a decent product for combating deep dryness.
ConsAs the weather gets warmer, using this rich product morning and night has caused some blemishes to appear. So I'm planning to skip the morning application and only use it at night. The centella scent is quite strong, which might be disappointing for those sensitive to fragrances.

Hydration: It has a rich, concentrated feel and applies with a thick consistency. Although I have oily skin, I don't find it excessively sticky. When I apply it before bed, my skin feels deeply moisturized. Blemishes: Occasionally, I get a few blemishes, but after applying this serum and waking up the next day, they seem a bit calmer. I think the Madecassoside ingredient helps with this.
ConsScent: It has a noticeable fragrance, so those with super sensitive skin might want to give it a sniff first. Personally, I quite like it. Texture: Some might find it too rich. While I appreciate its thick consistency, those who tend to get oily might find it a bit heavy and worry it could potentially cause a few blemishes.
TipThis seems more suited for mature skin rather than students.

It feels quite sticky when applied, but amazingly, it's fully absorbed by morning. Every time I cleanse in the morning, I can feel how incredibly soft my skin has become. I love that it comes in a generous size. I thought it would last forever, but looking at it now, I've used quite a lot. That just shows how much I've relied on this product this winter!
ConsThe dropper is disappointingly inadequate. It feels like something needs to be done about it. Even when you try to dispense a lot, it only takes about three drops before it's done. Given the sticky texture, you have to be extra careful when transferring the product from the dropper, otherwise it gets everywhere like a spider's web!
TipFor those who find it too sticky, try mixing it with a lighter serum or water-gel type product to improve absorption!
