The tingling was so intense that I thought I had poured sparkling water on my face. It gets better once you get used to it though.

As soon as I applied it, I felt an intense tingling sensation, which made me think something was happening. Sure enough, it definitely improved my complexion.

비타민 C 21 세럼

Sensitive individuals may experience a slight irritation. Since it's winter, the cold and dry weather has made the skin more sensitive, and it stung quite a bit. Also, it was so sticky that it was a bit difficult to apply other products after using this one.

The best part seemed to be the affordable price. The ingredients were also decent for the price, and it was generally good to use.

Sometimes when the skin condition is not good, it definitely stings, so you have to apply it after completely drying the base.

I've been using it every night for about 3 weeks, and it's less drying compared to other vitamin C products.

There were times when it was stinging, so it was regrettable.
It felt like only the essence was contained.

The product seems to have quite good whitening functionality.
The formula is a bit sticky.

Less than 10% is recommended for extremely sensitive skin.
Refrigeration is essential.
I continue to use it and have adapted, but for first-time users, apply just one drop or mix a tiny amount into a cream.
Vitamin C is acidic, so finish with a mild pH cleanser, then apply a water-based toner and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin before use.
Do not apply directly to bare skin.

My skin is not at all sensitive but rather dull, yet my face still feels hot and stinging. However, the freckles have disappeared, which is tolerable.
Vitamin C is prone to oxidation, so it needs to be stored in the refrigerator and used.

🎶 Affordable price
🎶 After using it for a month, my blemishes and freckles have almost disappeared 🥹
The dark spots around my eyes were the most stressful, but after using it 2-3 times a week, the dark spots disappeared at some point
🎶 After using it, my face looks radiant

Just like most vitamin C, it's sticky and there's really nothing special about it. It would have been better if it had been effective, but I didn't experience any for me.

Despite being praised for its great value, I've been using it consistently for a month but there's no noticeable difference.

 It stung and was scary, so I couldn't use it well, and eventually it got damaged and I threw it away.. I should only use it when my skin is in good condition, but since I get toning treatments often, I didn't have much time to use it..

 Something feels a bit stinging, so it seems like it only contains essence... If I had applied it consistently, I think there would have been a tone-up effect.

I knew it had a high concentration and irritating ingredients before using it, so at first I used just a single drop in a very small amount...but it was too stinging.
The next day, I mixed it with a cream and used an even smaller amount, just a tiny drop with a lot of cream, but the stinging was immediate, so I washed it off right away...but even after several days, my skin is still really painful.
There are also a lot of spots on my face...
I tried putting a tiny drop, maybe just barely enough, on the back of my hand and my wrist, because I didn't want to waste it, but...
It was a complete disaster...the burning sensation and the spots won't go away...
I'm going to go see a doctor...ㅜㅜ

There are no good points...really none...I hate myself for buying it.......

When my skin was in poor condition or when I first started using vitamin C, it would sting quite a bit...and my face would turn quite red as well.
However, it didn't cause any breakouts or worsen my skin condition.
The effects were so good that I still recommend it.

Compared to other vitamin C serums, this one was affordable and absorbed well, which I really liked.
The brightening effect on my skin was truly impressive. I purchased it because of the issues with pigmentation, and I could clearly see my skin getting brighter over time, which was great.

I personally didn't use it alone, but combined it with a propolis ampoule.

The fact that it oxidizes easily is a bit of a problem...
In the end, I couldn't use it all up and had to throw some away. ㅠㅠ What a waste.

Among the vitamin C products I've used recently, this one was the best!
The volume looks small, but it lasts longer than expected.
However, as oxidation progresses, I'll have to use it more frequently. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅜㅜ

And personally, I didn't see much effect on blemishes or the like, but the texture was incredible.
Just using this alone, my skin felt so smooth and supple the next day!
I didn't use the other functional ingredients all the time, so the great texture was more noticeable.

By the way, the other functional ingredients I used were pore tightening and panthenol barrier strengthening.
I didn't use anything when my skin was irritated.

I bought it on sale, so the price was affordable as well. Keke

To prevent color change, I keep it in the fridge even though it's inconvenient.

First of all, once it's opened, the color tends to change easily at room temperature
So you have to be careful with the storage, and if you don't close the lid properly, it can leak a bit from the top. But the product itself is good, so it's all fine.

It's really good, I highly recommend it. I've tried expensive vitamins before, but this one is really good
The cost-effectiveness is the best!
There's a slightly stinging feeling when applying it, but it's fine right away - that's a sign that it has a lot of vitamins^^ There's a noticeable difference between the days I use it and the days I don't. After applying the serum and waking up the next day, my skin feels plump and radiant!
