First, the vitamin C ingredient seems to help brighten the dull skin tone. Within a few days of use, my skin looked clearer and had a healthier glow. The stick type is hygienic as it doesn't get on my hands, and it's convenient to apply anytime, anywhere. The smooth application blends well into the skin, leaving a moisturized and refreshed finish without feeling heavy or sticky. I focused on using it on the dry areas around my eyes, laugh lines, and forehead, and over time, my skin felt firmer and more elastic. There is no strong vitamin C scent, just a subtle fragrance, making it easy to use. It's efficient as it can address wrinkles and brightening simultaneously, and the compact size is great for carrying in my pouch for touch-ups. I plan to continue using it as I believe it will also help reduce my blemishes.
ConsYour skin type may produce excess oil, leading to a shiny or greasy appearance.

Since it contains vitamins, I use it to help brighten my dull undereye area and pigmented spots. It's moisturizing and the lemon scent refreshes my mood. It's a vitamin balm, so unlike the ampoule, I can use it during the day, which is very convenient.
ConsSince I'm so satisfied with using the purple stick, this one feels like a snack to me.
TipIf you're a regular user of the Spot-Clearing Ampoule, I recommend trying out this stick during the day.

ConsAs mentioned earlier, the slightly coated feeling after application may be burdensome for oily skin types

Just open the lid and swipe it on like a lipstick. The application is slightly matte, but it still applies smoothly and evenly. It also contains vitamins, so it's likely better for the skin! I haven't noticed any wrinkle improvement effects yet, though.
ConsThe amount is small. After using it for 2 weeks, I think about half is left. Towards the end, it doesn't come out as easily when I twist the bottom. It has a slight oily feel, so I'm not sure if it would be suitable for those with oily skin.
TipWhen I applied it to the crow's feet, glabella, sides of the nose, and forehead wrinkle areas after my entire skincare routine, the dry areas were significantly reduced in the morning.

It may cause trouble with oily skin, so be careful! I was satisfied with applying it as the lemon scent I like was good. It absorbed quickly and just spread on easily.
ConsFirst of all, the amount is too little, which is disappointing. Since it's a night cream, it melts away quickly due to the heat, and it's gone after just one use..haha

ConsSince it's applied thickly, I noticed a few tiny bumps coming up! For those with combination or oily skin, it's probably best to use it sparingly, focusing on the dry areas! I keep it by my bedside and just apply a light touch to the areas I tend to reach for ㅎㅎ

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.ProsI had never used a similar elasticity-boosting product or a stick like this before, but this product was so easy to use that I really liked it. Just swipe it on and there's no mess on your hands, and it's great that you can just apply it to the areas you want. The lemon vitamin scent was faint but pleasant. I also thought the product might be too oily since it's so nourishing, but the nourishment level was just right. Even though my skin is prone to breakouts and is sensitive, this product worked well for me.
ConsDue to the nature of the product, it seems difficult to see immediate visible effects. It's not a major drawback, but I think you'll need to apply it consistently for two or more bottles before you can feel the changes.

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.ProsThis is the first time I've tried a stick-type night cream, and it doesn't feel sticky at all when applied. It glides on smoothly and can be rolled on evenly or applied quickly. The product claims to have whitening properties, and after diligently applying it to the under-eye area, dark spots, and freckles, they have faded slightly, though not completely. The name itself contains the word 'vitamin', so it feels like I'm generously feeding my face with vitamin goodness. 🌝 The citrusy lemon scent is also lovely, and I enjoy the fragrance every time I apply it. Recently, my skin has become extremely dry due to the changing seasons, but this product leaves my skin feeling moisturized and the application is great.
ConsThere were no downsides, but it would be great if this product became more well-known. 🌝
TipSince it's a stick type, I'd especially recommend it to people like me who have an oily T-zone but dry cheeks. The ability to target the dry areas separately is really nice. 🙂

This is especially helpful on days when I don't wear makeup. The stick format is also convenient to carry around without much hassle, which is definitely an advantage of this product. 🙌 While the product contains vitamin C or ascorbic acid, it hasn't caused any particular issues for my skin so far. Since I usually use liquid or cream skincare products, the balm format has been helpful as a final step. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any noticeable fading of my blemishes or other concerns after using it for about a week, so I can't definitively conclude on the effectiveness yet. But I'll keep using it consistently! 😎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even though I haven't seen any jaw-dropping results yet, I'm really satisfied with the smooth finish and the subtle citrus scent. This is often one of the main reasons I continue using skincare products, and the Vitamin C Ampoule Balm is no exception - I plan to keep using it! 😍♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cons📎 The balm format can be more challenging to use than liquid/cream formats ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The fact that the balm is in a stick format and can be used even outside of cleansing is certainly an advantage. However, since I have an extremely sensitive skin, I tend to avoid direct skin contact as much as possible. So, I've been using the product by rubbing it onto my fingertips first, and then gently patting it onto my skin. This means I'm not fully utilizing the benefits of the stick and balm format, which is a bit disappointing.
TipFor sensitive skin, rub the product onto your fingertips first, then gently pat it onto your skin.

Since the product doesn't get on your hands, it's great to keep by your bedside and apply before bed, and it's also convenient when rushing out in the morning. (However, after applying, it gives an extremely glossy finish, shimmering!) When you open the lid, a refreshing lemon/citron scent from the citrus family comes out, and it's a subtle, pleasant fragrance. If you have oily skin, it's probably best to apply it mainly on areas with freckles or concerns.
ConsIt's convenient to apply smoothly, but I don't get the feeling that it absorbs very well. It feels like a coating on the skin..! Although it's said to be usable both morning and evening, it's not suitable to apply before makeup. The foundation doesn't get absorbed and gets pushed around ㅠㅠ And the amount doesn't seem to be enough to cover the entire face~
TipIf you gently rub it with the warmth of your hands after applying, it feels like the absorption gets a bit better ㅎㅎ
