  Pros

  The product has a transparent, thin consistency with no scent. 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.

  Cons

  So far, I haven't found any drawbacks. I'll continue to use it and see how it goes.

  Pros

  - The finish is not sticky but feels powdery, making it suitable for summer use. 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.

  Cons

  - 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.

  Tip

  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.

  Pros

  Evening routine: Essence > Stievaa > Moisturizer > Bepanthen Morning routine: Essence > Moisturizer > Bepanthen > Vaseline coating > Sunscreen 1. Texture: Viscous enough not to drip, about 3 drops from the dropper cover the entire face 2. Application: Initially feels slightly sticky, but absorbs without residue when spread well 3. Ingredients: Arbutin and Niacinamide, both help inhibit melanin production for brightening. Their high position on the ingredient list suggests significant concentrations. Propanediol minimizes irritation while moisturizing, making this serum optimized for brightening and hydration 4. Skin condition and changes after use: While Stievaa ointment shortens skin cell turnover to prevent photoaging, it can be irritating and incompatible with other potentially irritating ingredients. However, when used with the Alpha Radiance Glow Serum, I experienced no irritation. After using the serum, I noticed my uneven complexion became more uniform 5. Packaging: Unlike many serums with subpar droppers, this one effectively draws up the product and dispenses it well. The white packaging stands out beautifully on a vanity I thought Banobagi was just a famous plastic surgery clinic, but they also do a lot of dermatological procedures. Since this serum is developed by a dermatology clinic, I believe it can be trusted

  Cons

  If there's one slight disappointment, it's that the volume is a bit on the smaller side

  Tip

  Recommended for those who prioritize ingredients! It would also work well with pharmacy skincare products It's great to use alongside Bepanthen or D-panthenol, which are excellent for hydration

  Pros

  It absorbs well and feels hydrating. Even when applied generously, it's not sticky. The packaging is pretty and compact, making it easy to carry around.

  Cons

  Apart from its good absorption and hydration, it doesn't seem to have any other benefits. For whitening, I gave it one star. My shoulders got quite tanned after taking photos in direct sunlight for an hour while wearing a tank top. I consistently applied a generous amount to one side for 8 days, but saw no improvement at all. As for the quantity, I'd give it two stars. At just 30 ml, it's an extremely small amount, yet it gets used up quickly. It absorbs well, and you need to apply a lot for it to feel hydrating, so I used it all up while testing. I only applied it to my face, neck, and one shoulder, but it was gone in about a week.

  Tip

  You need to apply it generously for it to feel hydrating.

  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

  As soon as I opened the package, I was delighted by the cute container design. Oh my! What's this amazing texture? It has a clear, runny consistency but applies smoothly without any stickiness or greasiness. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling nicely moisturized. After using it for a few days, I can already notice my complexion becoming brighter!

  Cons

  I'm not sure if this counts as a downside, but there was an unexpected side effect. While I'm happy my skin looks brighter overall, I have a slightly darker area near my eyes, similar to tear stains on a dog. As my face brightened, this area became more noticeable, which is a bit amusing every time I look in the mirror. Anyway, that's how it is! I'm hoping that with consistent use, it might help fade dark spots and blemishes as claimed.

  Pros

  My skin is combination dehydrated with acne. I have dark spots on both cheekbones and acne scars. I was looking for a product with good ingredients that could brighten my skin and help with dark spots when I won this. I'm satisfied with it! It's great that it doesn't cause any blemishes. I was worried it might be heavy due to its viscosity, but it absorbs quickly after application, providing a plump hydration while controlling dryness. There's no stickiness either. My complexion seems to have brightened a bit too. I'll need to use it longer to see results on my dark spots.

  Cons

  Nothing negative to say! I'm using it with great satisfaction. I'd like to try other products from the same line next time.

  Tip

  I'm still using it on my dark spots. The hydration is good, helping to control dryness as well.

  Pros

  Texture: It's not a watery formula, but rather a rich, glowy texture that maintains its luminous finish. Despite its richness, it doesn't feel sticky and leaves the skin feeling hydrated. Scent: As someone who isn't particularly sensitive to fragrances, I found it hard to detect any scent. It seems to be nearly fragrance-free. Application: When applied, it creates a moisturizing film on the skin without any stickiness. I was worried it might feel tacky due to its glow-giving properties, but it's pleasantly hydrating and absorbs well into the skin. While I can't speak to its effectiveness in improving dark spots due to the short period of use, I can say it performs well in terms of hydration.

  Cons

  There's nothing I found disappointing. The packaging is sleek and the pump dispenser works well.

  Pros

  1. Absorbs well It's not sticky and absorbs quickly. After absorption, my skin feels a bit softer. That's why it's perfect for layering skincare products for oily skin. For those with dry skin, I recommend applying something extra on top of this, as you might feel a bit of dryness with just this alone. 2. Perfect as a base! I used this instead of toner and it applied smoothly without any issues. 3. Fragrance-free I couldn't detect any scent, which I really liked. Due to my allergic rhinitis, even slightly strong fragrances can trigger an allergic reaction. And you know that no fragrance is much better than a scent you don't like, right? Honestly, since I've only used it for about a week, I haven't noticed much in terms of brightening or other effects.

  Cons

  1. The amount is too small. Maybe because I've only used it for a week, I didn't really notice any significant skin improvements. Considering that, the amount seems small and the price is quite high. I feel the value for money is lacking. If it were just a bit cheaper, I would have considered purchasing it. 2. What's wrong with the dropper??? You're supposed to squeeze and draw up the product, but it doesn't work well. I thought I had already used it all up because it's so hard to draw up. I have to press it three times just to get a tiny bit out. I suppose the silver lining is that it prevents you from using too much at once...

  Tip

  Great for all skin types, whether oily or dry!

  Pros

  For a brightening serum, I was pleasantly surprised by how odorless and colorless it is! True to its 'glow serum' name, it's not sticky at all, feels hydrating, and absorbs well into the skin. It seems like it could work as a daily serum, suitable for all seasons. That's the kind of vibe I get from this serum.

  Cons

  While my skin is naturally fair, I'm prone to blemishes. With my current active breakouts and quite a few scars, I feel I'll need to use it longer to see real results. I'll have to compare it with my other vitamin serums from different brands to see which one is more effective for dark spots and brightening. Still, I appreciate that it's gentle and agreeable overall.
