It's a lightweight, fast-absorbing, and transparent essence with a fluid texture. I bought this because I liked their sheet mask, but the essence is just okay. After using up an entire bottle, my blemishes seem slightly lighter, but I'm not sure about the brightening effect... The main advantage is that it's light enough for oily skin to use in summer. As for the effectiveness, well... I couldn't really notice any significant results. After finishing a whole bottle, my blemishes might be a tiny bit lighter, but as for evening out my skin tone, I'm not really sure... - tk*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinInner DrynessRecommendedOct 9, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Fortunately, this product didn't cause any blemishes. I usually struggle with lingering marks from past breakouts, so I'm hoping this might help with that too. It's still early days, so I'll need more time to see if it makes a difference in that regard. The only downside I can think of is that the amount seems a bit small. Other than that, I can't really find any faults!

To be honest, it's hard to expect cosmetics to completely eliminate dark spots, so I prefer products that improve overall skin texture and complexion. The Banobagi serum is colorless and fragrance-free, which gives it a refreshing feel. The ingredients also seem good, so I think it would be suitable even for blemish-prone skin. The texture is a moderately thick essence. It doesn't run like water, so I was worried it might be heavy, but after applying it, it absorbs without feeling sticky. This makes it suitable for both dry and oily skin types. After using it for about 10 days, while I can't say there were dramatic effects from the cosmetic alone, I do feel like my skin texture and complexion have become clearer. I don't have any particular complaints, but the amount is not very large, so I think I'll use it up quickly. I wish they would make it in a larger size... I think it would be good to use a vitamin product along with this! - hw*******Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedOct 8, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.As a man in his 30s with an oily T-zone and relatively dry U-zone, I found three main advantages of the Banobagi Alpha Radiance Serum: 1. Soft skin Compared to other products, my skin feels noticeably softer. The texture is so pleasant that I find myself constantly touching my cheeks. This soft feeling lasts all day, and it seems to maintain hydration well, preventing my skin from drying out. 2. Blemish improvement Despite the short usage period, when I look in the mirror, I feel like my blemishes have improved. Alpha-arbutin is said to be the key ingredient for blemish care, and it seems to have a slight effect on areas with pigmentation. With 20,000ppm of niacinamide, I expect continued use could lead to improved complexion and brightening effects. 3. Satisfying application The serum is a transparent liquid with some viscosity, applied using a dropper. It's even suitable to use right after shaving. Due to its consistency, the liquid doesn't run quickly when applied to the face, allowing for a comfortable application without rushing. The product seems to have good functionality, making it worth trying to see if it suits my skin. I recommend it. 1. Value for money is somewhat lacking. The quantity is a bit insufficient. In my case, I found that pumping once on each cheek, using it twice, was appropriate. As it's a functional product, you'd expect satisfaction from continued use, but the volume relative to the price is slightly disappointing. 2. Amount control is necessary There's a reason I felt that using it twice was appropriate. When used more than three times, it felt too oily, and when used only once, it felt dry due to the small amount. Since everyone's skin environment is different, I thought that setting the right usage amount could affect satisfaction. Right after cleansing, I apply the serum twice without using anything else. Sometimes I use it alone, and if it feels a bit dry, I apply an all-in-one product once more. - ho****Combination SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedOct 7, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Although it's a brightening moisturizer, it absorbs quickly and provides hydration without feeling sticky, so it doesn't cause pilling when applied before makeup. I'll need to use it longer to see if it actually brightens my complexion. It doesn't cause any blemishes or dryness, so I think I can use it lightly but consistently both morning and evening. It works well after toner in the serum step, and since it's lightweight without any stickiness, it could also be suitable as the first step right after cleansing. So far, I haven't found any drawbacks. I'll continue to use it and see how it goes. - os*****Dehydrated SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedOct 7, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

At first, I thought it made my skin a bit darker, but soon after, I noticed my skin tone becoming brighter and more radiant. I'm really pleased with the results. Initially, I was disappointed thinking it darkened my skin, but... Now I don't even need to touch up my makeup because my face looks noticeably brighter. It's definitely effective! Since I have super sensitive skin, I'm experiencing some blemishes. If you use too much, it might cause irritation, so those with sensitive skin should be careful. At first, it seemed fine, but suddenly I noticed issues. This was the only new product I'd introduced, so I realized it must be causing the irritation. It doesn't sting when I apply it, but seeing some acne-like spots along my jawline made me realize it was irritating my skin. For those with sensitive skin, I recommend using only a small amount at night! The quantity is quite limited. It's hard to get the product out even with the spatula. So you end up using tiny amounts each time. Make sure to control the amount you use carefully, as it doesn't dispense generously. It's not very hydrating, so I recommend applying a generous amount of moisturizing cream afterwards. Also, make sure to only apply it at night! While it's fine to apply before bed, I found that using a brightening moisturizer in the morning wasn't ideal. - na*******Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedOct 7, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

However, it's not drying. It absorbs quickly and doesn't pill under makeup, which is great. - It's not irritating. It's good for those with super sensitive skin and blemishes, as they can use it without any issues. - I used it twice a day, morning and night, but didn't notice a significant brightening effect. - Considering the price, I'm disappointed that I didn't experience any remarkable benefits. This serum works well in the middle of your skincare routine. It's gentle, doesn't pill, and absorbs well, making it great for daily use. - lo*********Combination SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRecommendedOct 7, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

My combination skin tends to get dehydrated, so while many products feel fine right after application, I often wake up feeling dry. This one, however, deeply moisturizes and leaves my skin feeling plump, with zero dryness even during seasonal changes. As it's a glow serum, layering it twice gives my face a radiant shine. But thanks to its rich texture, it absorbs well without leaving any greasy residue. I'd highly recommend this for those with dry or combination skin, especially during seasonal transitions. It's rare to find a product that's both deeply hydrating and non-greasy - I'm really impressed! Despite being called a whitening serum, I didn't notice much brightening effect. To be fair, I only used it for about two weeks, and whitening products usually need more time to show results. Also, I've been using a vitamin cream consistently for a year, so my complexion is already quite fair (around shade 17), making it hard to notice further brightening. As it's a glow product, it might be a bit too rich for those with oily skin. My skin has been in top condition while using this! When I wake up in the morning, my face has such a radiant glow. I've been pairing it with the 'Belif Vitamin Mask' cream, and the next day my complexion looks incredibly bright. They work great together, so I'd definitely recommend this combination. - 68*****Oily SkinRecommendedOct 7, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

My usual cushion foundation was looking a bit dark, but this helped. The scent is almost non-existent, which is great as it won't be polarizing. The texture is rich and moisturizing, absorbs well, and spreads easily on the skin. It didn't cause any blemishes and seems quite gentle. I didn't experience any tingling or irritation at all. Since it's said to be effective for dark spots, I think it would be great for those dealing with hyperpigmentation. There weren't many downsides, but the quantity seems a bit on the smaller side. - tn******Combination SkinRecommendedOct 7, 2024Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

To be honest, I was skeptical about how moisturizing it would be, but right after applying it, my skin felt so quenched and not dry at all. I've finally found a serum I truly love after such a long time! There's nothing bad to say, it's just a satisfying product. If I had to nitpick, the dropper seems a bit weak.
