  Pros

  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.

  Cons

  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...

  Pros

  I've found that with serums and ampoules, 'hydration' is the key factor for me - without it, the product just doesn't feel right. 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!

  Cons

  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.

  Tip

  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.

  Pros

  ✓ Hydration While it's not specifically a moisturizing product and doesn't offer extraordinary hydration, it provides a nice balance of moisture without feeling sticky! Apply and pat it in, and it absorbs into the skin within 1-2 minutes. ✓ No Blemishes It suited my skin well without causing any blemishes! ✓ Brightening (..?) This review is after a short period of use, less than 2 weeks, so immediate effects might not be apparent. I'm not sure if there's a dramatic brightening of the skin!.. But it might be my imagination, I feel like my complexion has become slightly brighter,, though not dramatically.

  Cons

  There's nothing particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick one thing, it would be the lack of dramatic brightening effects...

  Tip

  I applied it in the order of toner > Banobagi Glow Serum > moisturizer, and it worked well.

  Pros

  I have dry skin without blemishes. Naturally, I appreciated the good ingredients and the mild fragrance. Although it's a viscous product, I didn't feel it was particularly oily. It absorbs well, and while it doesn't sink in instantly, it's relatively quick. I could apply it after other products without any pilling or tingling sensation. The hydration was also excellent.

  Cons

  Using this alone wasn't quite enough for my dry skin. While the hydration was decent, my skin quickly felt parched. However, those with oily skin might find it slightly sticky. It felt more like surface dryness rather than deep dryness. Despite diligent application, I'm not sure about its brightening effects - it might need more time.

  Tip

  For those with dry skin like mine, I recommend using this with an oil and finishing with a rich cream. You'll wake up to smooth skin the next morning. It's completely non-irritating, and I found it works well when applied with vitamin products.
