I've been using products with high concentrations of niacinamide, which is said to be good for brightening. My complexion has definitely become clearer. ✅ Texture - Transparent liquid in a pump bottle ✅ Scent - Almost fragrance-free ✅ Hydration - I use it instead of toner, but it absorbs quickly ✅ Rich feel - None at all ✅ Key ingredients - Niacinamide, Hyaluronic acid ✅ Blemishes - None
ConsIt definitely works. However, I'm not sure if I've developed a tolerance after using it for months or if I'm just used to my brighter complexion, but lately I feel like the brightening effect is less noticeable. I'm debating whether to alternate with another product or continue using this one. But one thing's for sure - it definitely works.

It improved my skin texture, made it more hydrated, and gave me a brighter complexion.
ConsThere's not a single flaw - it's truly the best skincare product I've ever used in my life...

I love that it's free from harmful ingredients.
ConsWhile the high concentration might be a bit intense for my skin, I still enjoy the results after application.

The formula flows like water. Usually, products with this texture finish light, and this one is no exception - it feels refreshingly lightweight. As someone who dislikes sticky finishes, this was definitely a plus for me. Brightening effect: Niacinamide is famous for its brightening and complexion-evening properties, and I saw significant improvements in reducing redness and evening out my skin tone. My face was a bit blotchy due to blemishes, but after using this for a few days, my complexion became remarkably clear. Hydration: True to its name, which includes hyaluronic acid, it provides ample hydration. While it feels light on the skin, it effectively combats deep dryness. I enjoy layering a product 2-3 times, and when I followed this routine and sealed it with a cream, my skin felt incredibly hydrated. Packaging: The design is not only pretty but also practical - the transparent bottle lets you see how much product is left. It's subtle enough to fit any decor, which is a nice touch. The pump dispenser is more hygienic than a dropper and easier to use with this water-like formula, making it both appropriate and user-friendly.
ConsHonestly, I haven't noticed any significant drawbacks so far in my usage.
TipI wouldn't strongly recommend using products containing niacinamide when your skin is in a highly irritated state. It's likely to be more effective when your skin barrier has somewhat recovered.

Brightening With 83% of the product containing Damask rose water and niacinamide, which are great for brightening, I used it with confidence. After using it, my skin definitely became brighter. It helped restore my skin that got particularly tanned from going out this summer. I love how it makes my skin look transparently bright. Unlike before when my skin looked a bit dull, I can see the difference now, so I plan to keep using it. You know that translucent brightness that Koreans prefer, right?! 2. Soothing I'm generally sensitive to temperature changes, and lately, when I go out, it's so cold that I often get flushed. Even if it's not full-on alcohol flush, it's a sign of irritation, so I always apply this when I come back from being outside, and it calms my skin down well. It's more of a holy grail product than I expected. I should try it in summer too. I have a feeling it'll help with heat-induced flushing as well~ 3. Texture At first, I thought it might be oily since it's a serum, but that was a misconception. It has a water-like texture and absorbs quickly - I even wondered if serums were always this fast-absorbing. Despite this, it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry inside. It felt like the serum was working hard to provide the necessary hydration for my combination dehydrated skin and quickly finishing up. I also liked that it wasn't sticky at all.
ConsIf I had to pick something... * You need to close the cap. If you don't, white clumps form around the opening and come out when you use it later.
TipI sometimes mix it into my toner pack, and for areas that need more brightening like elbows, I mix it with body emulsion or cream.

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.ProsOverall impression: The most surprising thing after using this on the first day was how much brighter my face looked in the bathroom mirror in the morning! I wondered why it was so bright, then I remembered I had applied this before bed the night before... There were no other changes to my routine. It's excellent for brightening the skin! Rather than looking like I had makeup on, it felt like the yellowish tinge (that unhealthy, sallow look) had disappeared. I noticed this effect more when applying it at night before bed rather than during the day. Texture: It has a water-like consistency. Personally, I prefer a more viscous, slightly sticky texture, so this was a bit disappointing for me. With water-like formulas, I feel like they evaporate too quickly, so I end up pumping out more product. Of course, the quick absorption is also an advantage, so it's a matter of personal preference. Blemishes: I didn't experience any blemishes after applying! It wasn't greasy and left a fresh finish. It felt like a water-based toner. Amount: The quantity is just right, neither too little nor too much. Packaging: It has a cap, allowing for hygienic use.
ConsWhile you wouldn't use this alone, it's worth noting that on its own, it lacks sufficient moisturizing power! Given it's winter, layering with other products is a must. This could be seen as both a drawback and an advantage. For those who prefer a minimalist routine, you'll need to apply additional products for hydration. However, if you already use multiple products, this will make an excellent starter in your routine.
TipGreat as a starter! I typically streamline my toner and cream products but apply multiple layers (I use different products for day and night). Sometimes I skip toner and use this product first. It works well as a base layer, complementing other creams nicely! I often use Hanyul Yuja Sleeping Mask, which is good but can be a bit tricky. If I apply too much, it can cause blemishes... and it doesn't always play well with other products. However, it works wonderfully with The Dermafactory, so I've been loving it as part of my night routine lately!

While it doesn't dramatically brighten the skin, it definitely evened out my complexion by about one shade. With consistent use, I believe it will help with skin brightening. The hyaluronic acid makes it perfect for winter use. I'm very satisfied that I can use it without any irritation.
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but the slight stickiness is a minor drawback.

I've used over half the bottle, and there's been absolutely no irritation. It also contains hyaluronic acid, which might be why it feels extra hydrating. This brand's products generally have fewer ingredients and are affordably priced, making them perfect if you're looking for high-performance, cost-effective skincare. Initially, I noticed a significant brightening effect on my complexion. Now, I apply it more out of habit than for its whitening benefits!
ConsThe downside is that, being a high-concentration serum, you should only apply it once. It has a thin consistency, and even one application leaves your skin feeling moisturized. While it hasn't caused any irritation, I'm still cautious just in case.
TipThey recommend applying just 1-2 pumps once a day, whether in the morning or evening. However, you can layer the hyaluronic acid serum two or three times if you're using it alone.

Even with Dermafactory's 20%, I didn't experience any irritation. It's slightly watery like a toner, but it absorbs well and doesn't leave any sticky feeling after absorption. I apply it not just on my face, but anywhere I want brightening. The brightening effect was noticeable from the second day, so I'll definitely keep using it. It had an immediate effect on my complexion, blemishes, pores, and pigmentation, so I'd love to give it 10 stars. There's no reason to use other expensive brand products. This is just my personal opinion, but I highly recommend it to anyone looking for brightening effects. Kudos for its effectiveness, quantity, and price!
ConsI honestly can't think of a single drawback, not even 0.1%. There's nothing negative to say.
TipIf you apply this serum and then layer on a generous amount of moisturizer, your skin truly looks amazing.

I wanted to try a high-concentration niacinamide product, so I decided to give it a go. I've used high-concentration niacinamide from other brands before, and to be honest, I didn't see much effect on brightening or pigmentation then, and it was the same this time. But I bought this product more for overall skin barrier improvement and texture, so I'm satisfied! With consistent and generous use, before I even finished the bottle, my skin became smoother and more supple. How to describe it... it feels more refined? As for the user experience, due to the high concentration, it's a bit sticky, and because it contains a lot of powder, it can leave a slight white residue as it dries. This happened to me because I tend to use a lot, but if you use just a few drops like most people would, it shouldn't be an issue at all. My skin isn't sensitive, so I didn't feel any irritation using it daily, but on days when my skin wasn't in the best condition and I wanted to soothe it, I skipped this product. If you want to try a high-concentration niacinamide product without breaking the bank, I recommend giving this a shot. I think most people will be satisfied. I plan to repurchase it myself!
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but occasionally the pump doesn't work well. Also, while concentration is important, I know formulation matters too. Even with a high concentration, I'm slightly concerned about whether it will be truly effective.
