I applied it whenever my skin felt dry while studying at the library.
ConsI'm not sure if it actually brightened my skin, and it runs out pretty quickly.

It's not suitable for reapplication over sunscreen or makeup. Due to potential dust and cosmetic residue on the surface, you might need to scrape off the top layer before applying during your skincare routine. As a solid formula, it feels a bit stiff and doesn't glide on smoothly at first. It's hard to tell if you've applied enough or how much is on your skin. This probably means it doesn't feel greasy or heavy, though. You can tell where you've applied it by a slight glow on the skin. However, be careful around the eye area as rubbing might irritate the delicate skin there. It might be best to apply upwards along the jawline and cheeks. I can't really speak to its brightening effects, but in terms of hydration, it seems to work more by forming a protective layer rather than deeply moisturizing. If you apply it after a good skincare routine, it should help prevent moisture loss.
ConsI'm not sure about its brightening effects. It seems to mainly lock in moisture and add a bit of glow.

Personally, I've never seen improvement in freckles from cosmetics before, so I had high hopes for this product. 1. The stick format is truly convenient. You can easily apply it like a lip balm, making it comfortable to use not only on your face but also on your body. Because it's so handy, I found myself reaching for it often! 2. It has a balanced moisture level that's not greasy. I was worried it might be too oily since it's high-performance, but it leaves a soft, matte finish with just the right amount of hydration. However, it's not an extremely moisturizing type that you could use alone - you'd definitely need more than just this. 3. There's a subtle vanilla scent...? It's almost unscented. I personally like it.
ConsPersonally, after using it for two weeks, I didn't notice any brightening effects. Although it's supposed to be gentle, I had the unfortunate experience of getting small blemishes in the areas where I applied it... ㅠㅠ Also, I don't think it can be used as a highlighter replacement over makeup. While it does give a subtle glow, I wouldn't recommend it to those looking to use it instead of a highlighter.

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- Being a stick product, it's incredibly convenient as you can apply it with a quick swipe without getting your hands messy. - It applies thinly, so there's no heavy feeling, and the texture is fresh rather than sticky. - For a stick product, it's quite firm, giving the impression that it won't wear down quickly. It seems like it will last relatively longer.
Cons- It tends to apply a bit stiffly, which can cause some irritation (friction). - Perhaps because it applies so lightly and thinly, the hydration isn't very noticeable. (I have combination dehydrated skin) - I'm not sure about its brightening effectiveness.
TipTo reduce irritation, gently rub the surface on the back of your hand to soften it before use.

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 oily skin with lots of blemishes like freckles and sun spots, so I've been getting laser treatments and professional facials. The packaging is sleek, and I love the size and grip - perfect for my vanity, making it easy to use morning and night. Honestly, I didn't expect much from a brightening product in just a few days, but I noticed a slight improvement in my small blemishes - maybe not obvious to others, but I could tell. If the long-term effects are good with consistent use, I'd definitely repurchase. The scent isn't overpowering, and the formula isn't too rich for my oily skin. I didn't experience any irritation, so I've been able to use it consistently since I got it, which is great for seeing results.
ConsIt doesn't have much hydration or richness, so it doesn't absorb particularly well. Unlike some other brightening essences, it doesn't give an instant overall brightening effect to the complexion.
TipIt absorbs better if you apply it after using a hydrating toner in your skincare routine. For best results, focus on applying it to areas where you're concerned about blemishes.

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.ProsIt instantly gives a radiant glow when applied. It glides on smoothly, which is great, but the stick isn't too soft, which I appreciate. There's no stickiness after application, and the effects seem to last about half a day. It's perfect for carrying around instead of cumbersome mists or other products. At first, I thought it was smaller than expected, but the product doesn't deplete quickly, so considering its portability, the size is just right. You can layer it without it caking up. I experienced no discomfort or irritation when applying it around the eyes or mouth.
ConsIt doesn't seem to be a product that deeply hydrates. It applies very well to the surface, which is great for easy application and shine, but the emphasized features like the moisture barrier and brightening effects feel somewhat weak compared to its other strengths. It's nearly fragrance-free, but personally, I detect a faint glue-like scent. The scent is not to my liking.
TipRather than using it straight away, it feels better to warm it up slightly with body heat before application. On days when I'm too lazy for a full skincare routine, it's great to just apply this after toner, even around the lips and eyes, as it doesn't cause any irritation.

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 review from The Hwahae Testers! As a first-time user of stick skincare products, I found this one quite approachable even for beginners. When I've tested other stick products in-store, they often left a sticky or tacky finish, but this one feels relatively fresh and not burdensome at all! After my skincare routine, I've been using it around my eyes as an eye cream substitute. Of course, it's not as rich as a typical eye cream. It might be great for those who tend to get milia from regular eye creams, but if you're looking for a super nourishing product, this might not be for you. However, I experienced no clogged pores, and my skin had a nice glow the next day, so I think I'll be using this product frequently.
ConsThe case feels a bit light and flimsy. Sometimes the product slides down when you twist it, but it's not a major issue. If you're expecting a rich, nourishing product, you might be disappointed as it has a fresher finish than most eye creams. Most importantly, I didn't notice any significant brightening or evening of skin tone effects!

However, this product had a subtle apple-like fragrance, which was pleasant. The application was smooth and gentle. What I appreciated most was the removable outer sticker for easy recycling. There was a slight cooling sensation when applying (not burning, just a gentle temperature drop). I have atopic dermatitis and had some small blemishes near my eyebrows when I received the product, so I was worried. Surprisingly, it didn't cause any irritation. (I was concerned about potential blemishes due to the oily feel, but there were none at all). Instead of using emulsion or cream, I think it would be great to apply this serum all over. (For oily skin, might not be suitable for summer use)
ConsAfter application, I noticed some product residue on my face. If you're planning to apply makeup before work, make sure to check the sides of your face and blend thoroughly. As a Hwahae Tester, I've only used the product for about a week, so I couldn't verify its effectiveness on dark spots and blemishes. (I'll leave an additional review after using the entire bottle). +++ Additional review after finishing the bottle: I'm not sure about the whitening and blemish-fighting effects. Honestly, expecting skincare alone to whiten or remove blemishes might be ambitious, but since the product claims these benefits, we can't help but buy it. There's a bit left in the bottle, and I'm not sure how to use it. It feels wasteful to throw it away, but using it might scratch my skin on the bottle's edge. I might need to use a toothpick to scrape it out, which is inconvenient. Personally, I'd probably switch to a different whitening product.

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.ProsThe most convenient aspect was how easy it is to use. You just open the cap and glide it on - no need to pat it in, which is super handy! I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, but this seemed almost unscented? I appreciated that it doesn't seem to contain added perfumes. I've used the Kahi balm before, which left a shiny, overly rich feeling, but this product is different. At first, I wondered if it was even applying, but it absorbs beautifully without any stickiness, which I'm really pleased with. I use it as the final step in my skincare routine, after toner and emulsion, thinking of it as a protective coating. I have atopic dermatitis on my face (around the eyes), but this didn't cause any tingling or redness. I don't apply it all over my face, just on areas prone to blemishes or that easily become dry.
ConsSince I've only been using it for about a week, I can't really comment on the blemish-improving or brightening effects that the product claims. It's probably too short a time to notice any visible changes. That's why I've deducted one star. I'll continue using it consistently.
TipIt feels incredibly lightweight. As mentioned in the instructions, use it as the final step in your skincare routine!

It seems to provide hydration and is great for frequent use throughout the day.
ConsSince it comes in direct contact with the skin, I'm not certain about its hygiene. As I already use skincare products effectively, I don't see a compelling reason to use this one. Naturally, as I haven't used it for more than 3 weeks, I can't comment on its brightening effects or ability to remove blemishes.
