Cons⚡At first, I felt the application was a bit slippery, but I'm not sure if it's because it gets quickly absorbed into the skin or if it's just not being absorbed well. First-time users may feel a bit perplexed! ⚡Due to the quick drying time, I had to apply more, which was a bit inconvenient because of the bottle design's difficulty in controlling the amount.🥲 ⚡After application, I did feel a bit of dryness.
Tip⭐ If you're looking for a basic skincare product with whitening function, I highly recommend this! ⭐ Controlling the amount is important!! But if you gently pat it all over your face and quickly absorb it with your hands, it will lightly sink into your skin. ⭐ Since it gets absorbed quickly and may leave your skin feeling a bit dry, applying a hydrating moisturizer afterwards would be great!

It's been more than 6 months but less than a year. There were many red marks that were concerning until they became complete scars. I heard that it's better to manage the redness before it turns into black scars, so I've been trying to minimize sun exposure as much as possible. I came across a brightening essence that also helps with wrinkles. Packaging The paper packaging has a simple, purplish-pink plastic case without any unnecessary elements. It has a silver twist-open cap, similar to a regular skin toner. Texture The texture is more viscous than pure water. It's less thick than a runny skin toner. It has the typical essence-like texture. Spreadability and Absorption It's strange, but when I spread it on my skin, tiny bubbles come up, like a water cleanser. At first, I thought I applied it incorrectly, so I checked the product and the page again. However, it gets absorbed into the skin quickly. It glides on smoothly and gets absorbed, without leaving a sticky residue. Instead, it feels almost drying, but that's because it's a wrinkle product - it gives a tightening sensation, not dryness. A light moisturizer is enough after using it. Fragrance It has a subtle, cool menthol or mint-like fragrance. It's like a pore-refining scent. It's a familiar fragrance from the cosmetics I've used before. Skincare Routine After receiving the product, I tried this skincare routine: Daytime Cleanse - Vital Essence - Moisturizer - (Makeup Oil) - Sunscreen Nighttime Cleanse - Vital Essence x2 - Thicker Moisturizer I'm not sure about the whitening effect, but the wrinkle-improving effect was quite good.

ConsI'll take away one star for the spreadability. The texture is just not something I can get used to, it's thick and gooey, like a snail essence I've used before. The tiny bubbles that come up are a bit unsettling too. However, there's hardly any residue left, so it's quite fascinating how it gets absorbed into the skin or just evaporates. I've been using it for 6 days now, and since whitening products require consistent use, I haven't seen any dramatic results yet, so I haven't included before-and-after photos.
TipEven though it's an essence, it's closer to a water-based formula. On days when I've had a lot of sun exposure or feel some heat, I apply it twice at night. Tip for using sheet masks: Typically, after cleansing, you just apply the sheet mask. But I found that doing a light toner, then the essence, and then the sheet mask helps with soothing the skin even more. Definitely give it a try!
