I've been using it without any issues. It's great to apply after toner, followed by your preferred serums, ampoules, or creams to suit your skin's hydration needs.
ConsDespite containing hyaluronic acid, as someone with dry skin, I didn't find it particularly moisturizing. Remember, hyaluronic acid works best when layered with other hydrating products, so be sure to follow up with ampoules and creams for optimal results.
TipI use two pumps, applying generously up to my neck. Then, I layer on hydrating products like a moisture ampoule, hydrating serum, and moisturizing cream. To seal it all in and prevent moisture loss, I finish with a few drops of jojoba oil to create a protective barrier.

It feels like my skin is parched and burning from the inside out. If you're experiencing this, you absolutely must try this product. For me, there's a noticeable difference between days I use it and days I don't. On days I skip it, I can tell as soon as I leave the house after doing my makeup. That's how quickly I feel the difference, even before hours have passed. I'm not a paid reviewer, this is my honest opinion. I just hope this company keeps making this product forever. I currently have two bottles at home, and I've probably gone through 3-4 bottles already. I'm extremely satisfied.
ConsDue to the ingredients in this product, it may sting on areas with wounds or on days when your face has been exposed to cold wind (when your skin is sensitive). But your skin does adapt over time.
TipIf you layer it multiple times, waiting a minute between each application, your skin will retain moisture all day long.

The affordable price definitely deserves a full five stars. If you adjust the amount well, in this heat, you can skip cream. It provides forced hydration, like your skincare is on a diet. Considering the concentration of ingredients, there's no notable irritation.
ConsAs someone without dry skin, I find the finish a bit disappointing. There's a slight stickiness that lingers. The entire Dermafactory line seems to have sent its absorption power to Andromeda, focusing so much on cramming in ingredients that they've seemingly given up on user experience. I know hyaluronic acid molecules are typically too large to be easily absorbed in skincare... If you don't get the amount right, it can feel like it's just sitting on top of your skin.
TipApply generously before using a mud pack or modeling mask to reduce the tightening sensation when it dries.

Usually, high-concentration niacinamide products can strip away oils, but this one's great for those who couldn't use high-strength niacinamide due to dryness. Its watery texture absorbs well, leaving skin moisturized without feeling rich. It's suitable even for super sensitive skin like mine that's prone to deep dryness, and there's no pilling, making it perfect for use before makeup. - While it may not dramatically brighten, it effectively evens skin tone. With consistent use, it helps reduce redness from blemishes or after extractions. - The value for money is impressive. It's affordable for its volume without compromising on effectiveness. Using up to two pumps morning and night as recommended, a bottle lasts nearly half a year. - The product dispenses well right down to the last drop. Unlike many serums or ampoules where the dropper or pump can't reach the remnants, this one empties completely. The transparent bottle shows the remaining product, and it's satisfying to see it used up entirely.
Cons- While I personally don't have major issues, the high concentration can cause a slight tingling sensation when applied (although niacinamide is generally non-irritating, higher concentrations can cause some tingling). Those with super sensitive skin might prefer lower-concentration alternatives available in the market.

It has a slightly viscous, water-like texture that applies smoothly and absorbs well. After application, you can feel a light moisturizing effect. With consistent use, you can see your complexion brighten. I'm really impressed with how it absorbs, its effectiveness, and overall skin improvement - I think I'll be using this product for life!
ConsThere's nothing to dislike about this product. It's completely satisfying. I highly recommend everyone give it a try.
TipMy previous niacinamide product couldn't be used with Vitamin C, which was disappointing. However, this one can be applied 4-5 minutes after Vitamin C, allowing you to use both in your routine.

Usually, serums can feel sticky and uncomfortable, but this one isn't tacky at all and has no artificial scent. It was easy to apply smoothly after my toner. I especially loved using it every dry morning, and when I layered a moisturizer on top, my skin stayed hydrated until I got to work!
ConsThere's not really anything I dislike about it. If I had to nitpick, I'd say using it alone might be too light for very dry skin. I definitely recommend following up with a cream!

It's great that once it's fully absorbed, there's no sticky feeling left behind. Plus, I didn't experience any blemishes from using it.
ConsIt's best not to expect extremely intense hydration from this product. While it claims to contain 21% niacinamide, well... it seems to improve skin texture, but the brightening effect and skin revitalization were quite subtle. Also, I found it odd that once it's fully absorbed, it feels like the liquid is solidifying on my face.
TipMake sure to clean the lid well after each use before storing! As you can see in the attached photo, powder residue from the ampoule tends to build up on the lid and around the container opening.

I've tried many famous niacinamide serums, but they didn't suit me well. This one, however, is different. It's incredibly hydrating and has a delightfully bouncy texture. Right after cleansing, I apply it generously, and it instantly quenches any deep dryness. Unlike irritating products that can cause stinging or a burning sensation around the nose, this one doesn't do that at all (which happened with previous niacinamide products that didn't suit me). Highly recommended!
ConsJust one minor issue: I noticed small, hard white particles coming out of the container tip. It seems that residue from previous uses accumulates and hardens at the tip, then comes out during the next application.
TipApply this serum immediately after washing your face. If you still feel dry, follow up with a moisturizer.

Texture: - Runny consistency, fragrance-free, and transparent - Non-sticky with a fresh finish 2. Ingredients: - I felt reassured as it didn't cause any blemishes, suggesting gentle ingredients 3. Hydration: - Absorbs well due to its lightweight formula - Moisturizing with decent lasting power
ConsThe lightweight formula that absorbs quickly left me wishing for a bit more hydration.
TipI layered it after toner, applied Dermafactory serum to build a hydrating base, followed by my usual ampoule, and finished with cream. This routine created a solid foundation, resulting in flawless makeup application!

Ever since the weather turned cold, I've been struggling with deep dryness no matter what I applied, but this product has made a huge difference! I use about three pumps each time. • The lightweight formula is so comfortable! I don't have extremely dry skin, just dehydrated, and I find that layering this light serum twice and then applying a slightly heavier cream on top really helps. When I start with heavy products, my skin feels dry underneath with just a coated surface. • Great value for money 80ml for 15,000 won... It's more reasonable than other products. Though you might use a bit more due to the light texture, it'll still last a long time considering the amount. • Fragrance-free There's no scent! It's such a huge plus not to have any irritating fragrances. • Brighter complexion While it's not dramatically life-changing, I did notice my skin tone becoming slightly clearer even in a short time. It's subtle though, so don't expect miracles.
Cons• The only downside is that there's no dramatic effect. That's really the only negative I can think of!
TipIf your sole purpose is to dramatically brighten your complexion, you might be a bit disappointed. Personally, I prioritize products that don't irritate my skin and feel comfortable, and this one does that while also offering some functional benefits! I'll probably repurchase when I run out. I plan to keep using it even as the seasons change, just adjusting the amount I use. I'm so happy to have finally found a cosmetic product that works well for me. It's been a while!
