As I have sensitive skin, I'm always anxious before trying new cosmetics. Fortunately, this product did not cause any breakouts. It would be great if it also helps with my usual blemishes. Since I haven't used it for long, I'll have to see how it performs over time.
Cons
The only thing I can think of is that the amount seems a bit small.

I have a lot of freckles and blemishes all over my face, and I'm usually quite stressed, so I'm very interested in whitening products. In reality, it's difficult to expect the freckles to disappear completely with cosmetics, so I find products that can brighten the overall skin texture and tone to be better. The Banobagi serum was refreshing as it was fragrance-free and the ingredients didn't seem too bad, so I thought it would be good for troubled skin as well. The formula is a moderately dense essence. I was worried it might be a bit heavy, but after applying, it didn't feel sticky at all and can be used regardless of dry or oily skin type. After using it for about 10 days, I didn't notice any dramatic effects, but I do feel like my skin texture and tone have become clearer.
Cons
I don't have any particular complaints, but the amount doesn't seem to last very long, so I wish there was a larger size available...
Tip
I think it would be good to use a vitamin product together as well!

T-zone is oily and U-zone is relatively dry for a 30-year-old male. The main advantages of the Banobagi Alpha Radiance Serum can be summarized in 3 points: 1. Soft skin Compared to other products, the skin feels much softer. The texture was so good that I kept touching my own cheeks. The soft feeling lasts all day. It seems to maintain moisture well so the skin doesn't get dry. 2. Blemish improvement Despite not using it for a very long time, when I look in the mirror, I feel like my blemishes have improved. The key ingredient alpha arbutin is said to help with blemish care, and it seems to have a slight effect on areas with pigmentation. There is also 20,000ppm of niacinamide, so with continued use, I can expect skin tone improvement and whitening effects. 3. Satisfactory user experience It's a viscous transparent liquid that you apply to the face with a dropper. It can be used right after shaving. Due to the viscosity, the liquid doesn't quickly run down the face, so you can apply it without rushing and without any discomfort. The product functionality looks good, so it's worth trying to see if it suits my skin. I recommend it.
Cons
1. The cost-effectiveness is disappointing. The amount is a bit lacking. In my case, I felt that using 2 pumps, one for each cheek, was appropriate. As it's a functional product, you'd need to use it consistently to expect satisfaction, but the price-to-volume ratio is somewhat disappointing. 2. Adjusting the amount is necessary The reason I felt 2 pumps was appropriate is that using more than 3 pumps made it feel too oily, while 1 pump felt too dry. Since everyone's skin environment is different, I think properly adjusting the amount used can affect the level of satisfaction.
Tip
After cleansing, I use the serum directly without applying anything else, using 2 pumps. I sometimes use it alone, and if it feels a bit dry, I'll apply an all-in-one product once more.

The formula is a transparent and watery one, with no fragrance. It is a whitening product, but it absorbs quickly and has a moisturizing effect, so it doesn't feel sticky after application. You can use it before makeup without it interfering. As for the brightening effect, I'll have to use it more to see the results. It doesn't cause any breakouts or dryness, so I think I can use it lightly morning and evening consistently. You can use it after toner and before serum, or as the first step after cleansing, as it's lightweight and non-sticky.
Cons
I don't have any complaints so far. I'll continue using it.

My skin tone has become brighter! At first, it seemed to get a bit darker, but not long after, my skin tone became brighter and more radiant. I initially thought it was not great that it got a bit darker, but... Even without corrective makeup, my face looks a bit brighter, so I feel the effect is good.
Cons
Since I have sensitive skin, I'm getting blemishes on my face ๐ข If you use a bit too much, it might be irritating, so sensitive skin types should be careful... It was fine at first, but at some point I noticed it, and the only changed product was this one...? Looking into it, I think this was the irritant. It doesn't sting at all when applying, but I noticed some pustular breakouts along my chin, so I think it was irritating ๐ข๐ข๐ข I recommend using only a small amount at night (for sensitive skin types)! The amount is too little ๐ฅฒ It's hard to get out with a spatula too ๐ข๐ข So from the start, only a tiny bit comes out ๐ข๐ข Use it with good control, it won't just gush out.
Tip
The moisturizing isn't great, so I recommend applying a lot of finishing moisturizer ๐ข๐ข๐ข And be sure to use it only at night! I found that applying it at night and sleeping is good, but applying it in the morning with the whitening cream wasn't great.

- The formula seems suitable for summer use as it is not sticky and is fluffy. However, it is not dry either. It absorbs quickly and does not interfere with makeup application, which is great. - It is not irritating. Even people with sensitive skin and blemishes can use it without any issues, which is good.
Cons
- I used it twice a day, in the morning and evening, but I didn't feel that it brightened my skin significantly. - Considering the product price, the special effects were not noticeable, which is disappointing.
Tip
This is a serum that can be used comfortably as a middle step in your skincare routine. It is gentle, does not interfere, and absorbs quickly, making it good for daily use.

๐๐ป Among serums and ampoules, I find that if there's no 'moisture' feeling, the usage experience is rather unsatisfactory. ๐ข As I have combination skin with dehydration, the products feel fine right after application, but over time or in the morning, many basic products leave my skin feeling dry, which is disappointing. However, this product fills the skin deeply with a bouncy texture, so there was no dryness at all even during the seasonal changes. ๐๐ป When I layer this glow serum about two times, my face just beams. But the bouncy texture absorbs well, so there's no greasy feeling. I think this would be great for those with dry to combination skin during the seasonal changes! It's rare to find a product that's this moisturizing yet non-greasy.
Cons
The name is a whitening serum, but I didn't really feel the whitening effects. Functional whitening products usually need to be used for a longer time, but I only used this for about 2 weeks. Also, I've been using a vitamin cream consistently for about a year, so my skin tone is already around shade 17, so I'm not sure if it got any brighter. As this is a glow product, it might have some oil content that oily skin types may find too much.
Tip
My skin has been in the best condition while using this. ๐ First of all, my skin looks so radiant when I wake up in the morning โจ I use this together with the 'Belief Vitamin Mask' cream, and my face looks so much brighter the next day. The combination works great, so I highly recommend it.

I've tried a lot of whitening ampoules, and this one seems to be one of the more effective ones! The cushion foundation I was using before seemed to look a bit dull. The scent is almost unscented, so there's no love-hate relationship with it, which is great. The formula is dense and moisturizing, applies well, and absorbs nicely. I didn't experience any breakouts, and it seems to be quite gentle. There was no stinging or irritation at all. Since it's said to be effective for removing dark spots, I think it would be a good option for those with a lot of discoloration.
Cons
The only downside is that the amount seems a bit small.

This product absorbs so well and keeps my sensitive skin moisturized, especially during this time of year when the weather changes! To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about how moisturizing it would be before using it, but as soon as I applied it, my skin felt replenished and not at all dry. I'm so happy I finally found a serum that I really love!
Cons
There's nothing really bad about it. It's just a satisfactory product..๐ If I had to nitpick, the dropper could be a bit stronger, I guess.๐

[ Mid-20s / Male / Oily Skin ] 1. Refreshing Finish The product finishes without any oily residue, which I disliked as it would often make my face look shiny throughout the day. I think it will feel refreshing even when I use it in the morning. 2. Good Spreadability The product spreads well and has minimal friction with the skin, so it doesn't irritate my skin much. 3. Fragrance-free I don't have any aversion to using this fragrance-free product.
Cons
The dropper doesn't allow me to control the amount well, and it's a bit difficult to dispense.
