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.

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!

Ingredients A reasonable number of ingredients! And all good ones too! It's packed with Damask rose water and niacinamide, so it feels like it's delivering all the good stuff to your skin! 2. Universally pleasant scent It's almost unscented, so even those with sensitive noses should be able to use it without any issues! 3. Hydration Despite its very thin consistency, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it tackles deep dryness! It provides lightweight hydration, and I'm hoping the Damask rose water might offer some brightening effects too. I'll definitely keep using it with these expectations! 4. Packaging The pump dispenser makes for hygienic use - no need for a dropper! Plus, the transparent bottle lets you easily check how much product is left. The sturdy plastic makes it great for travel too!
ConsIt tends to run quite a bit, so you need to be a bit careful when applying. I pump it directly onto my face and quickly pat it in with my hands!
TipIt seems to work best if you apply thin layers 2-3 times, which also improves hydration! Since it's quite runny, it's better to apply multiple thin layers.

When applied, it doesn't feel sticky at all, provides good hydration, and absorbs well into the skin. It noticeably helps with deep dryness, making it perfect for winter use. Being fragrance-free, it's really suitable for everyday use without any fuss.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about this product. The price is reasonable, and it works exceptionally well for my skin!
TipThis product is great for effortless use both in the morning and evening skincare routines.

It might be a plus for others too. There's no noticeable smell from the ingredients - it's truly fragrance-free. Without artificial fragrances, there's no worry about blemishes. ▪ Solves deep dryness In winter, I usually slather on rich, nourishing creams. While my skin felt moisturized on the surface, there was still a subtle tightness underneath. This product helped resolve that issue. It seems to be quite effective for deep hydration. ▪ Dewy glow It gives my face a radiant, moisturized shine. The deep hydration allows a subtle glow to come through even when I apply a matte cushion foundation. ▪ Affordable price At just 15,000 won for a generous 80ml, the price is very reasonable. If it works well, it's an extremely satisfying purchase given the affordable price point.
Cons▪ Slow absorption When I applied it to the back of my hand, I thought the absorption was fine. However, when using it after toner on busy mornings, the absorption feels surprisingly slow. It seems to work best when you have time to let it fully absorb, so I end up skipping it in the morning. ▪ Not suitable as a gift There's no separate paper box packaging, making it unsuitable as a gift. When it arrived, the essence was just wrapped in bubble wrap, which initially gave me a secondhand purchase vibe.
TipSometimes a white residue may appear on the face. This is apparently a characteristic of niacinamide when the skin lacks moisture. Applying a hydrating cream afterwards should resolve this issue.

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.ProsFirst off, I've been using another brand's niacinamide, so the comparison was much more favorable for this one!!! 1. Makeup-friendly My previous product would cause pilling or make my skin look flaky when I applied sunscreen or makeup. But The Dermafactory product, maybe because it's combined with hyaluronic acid, has this added moisturizing effect. It doesn't cause any pilling at all, and it even tackles deep dryness, making my makeup look even better! This was the most satisfying aspect for me. 2. No need for layering - perfect ingredient combo (for oily T-zone & dry cheeks) As I briefly mentioned earlier, I have combination dehydrated skin with very dry cheeks due to winter heaters and cold winds, and an oily T-zone... Wow! This product is a game-changer! First off, I don't need to buy nose strips anymore. Excess sebum doesn't surface at all, it must balance oil and moisture really well. The only thing I changed in my routine from cleansing to skincare is this product, and my sebum has noticeably decreased while my cheek dryness is gone. What is this sorcery...? I don't even need to look for a separate hydrating ampoule (except on extremely dry days, of course!) I'm definitely repurchasing this when I run out!
ConsThe formula is quite runny, so I thought it might be better if it came in a dropper bottle. I felt a dropper might make it easier to control the amount. That's the only thing I could think of! There was nothing disappointing about the product itself!
TipIf you feel a bit dry, you can layer it on and it should work great! It contains hyaluronic acid too, so even in this weather with harsh winds and heaters, I can maintain a glow with my makeup without any deep dryness. It's incredible! If you have deep dryness, layer it on your cheeks!!!!

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 love how this product has a water-like texture that absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. The combination of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide really helps with deep dryness. It's great that I don't need to layer multiple functional products. Since it's winter and I'm dealing with sensitivity, redness, and blemishes, I've been using this consistently because niacinamide is said to help with inflammatory conditions. I think I've noticed my blemish marks fading.
ConsThe dispenser needs improvement. Given its fluid texture, I'd like to spray it directly onto my skin, but the short, angled nozzle makes this impossible. Perhaps switching to a dropper format would be better? I really don't like having to dispense it onto my palm. Also, the liquid tends to solidify and form crystalline clumps. If you don't clean the nozzle well, it quickly becomes messy.
TipI use this alongside vitamin C. After layering them, it's great to apply a rubber mask or a gel-type water pack and use a galvanic device for enhanced results.

Maybe due to this high concentration, I noticed great results the morning after application. Let me highlight the best points: ✓ Alleviates dryness: Probably thanks to the hyaluronic acid, it felt like it was addressing deep dryness rather than just surface-level, and my skin felt much less tight the next day. ✓ Improves skin texture and tone: Those with oily skin often have uneven texture and frequent redness due to skin heat. This product really creates a smooth skin texture. Complexion and skin tone visibly improve by morning. After consistent use for 4-5 days, my skin tone seemed a bit brighter, so I'm eager to keep monitoring the progress! It was quite impressive. ✓ Lightweight formula: There's a slight stickiness, but it doesn't linger after absorption. With its water-like, thin consistency, it's a product that those with oily skin can use without feeling weighed down.
ConsPackaging could be more recyclable The sticker is too firmly attached to the clear plastic bottle, making recycling difficult. It would be more consumer-friendly if it could be peeled off in one go, like some beverage bottles nowadays. While the product itself is flawless, the packaging design is a bit plain. It lacks design merit, yet doesn't give off an eco-friendly vibe either, which is somewhat disappointing. Since the packaging doesn't catch the eye, I thought while using it that they might be better off relying on the product's effectiveness to drive sales... I hope many people with combination dehydrated oily skin like me try it and see good results!
TipThis product works great as a toner substitute, allowing for ample absorption. It's very gentle and lightweight, so I'd recommend it even for solo use by those with very oily skin.

I've tried countless hydrating serums and moisturizers, but this product is truly amazing. Despite its watery consistency like a toner, I think it's designed this way to enhance absorption. Pumping once on each cheek and forehead, it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling deeply hydrated. I used to apply two types of serums, but now this niacinamide hyaluronic serum alone is enough, reducing skin stress and saving time. • Based on the product description, I expected good hydration and moisturizing effects, which it delivered. But I was surprised by its excellent soothing properties. When I applied it before bed, I woke up to find my emerging blemishes had calmed down - an unexpected bonus! I highly recommend it as a hydrating and soothing serum. • It seems to provide ample hydration to the skin, and I love that it also has a pore-tightening effect. I'm very satisfied that it performs various functions with just one application.
Cons• After 2-3 days of use, I tried layering it by applying two coats. This led to clogged pores and a hard, red pimple at the end of my eyebrow. When I adjusted the amount back to normal, it subsided, but it's clear that over-application can lead to blemishes. Even if it feels less moisturizing, stick to just one layer!
Tip• For those with combination dehydrated skin, this serum paired with a moisturizer is a holy grail product.

ConsI honestly can't find any downsides. You might be surprised by how non-sticky this is compared to typical hyaluronic products!
