As someone with dry skin, I actually appreciated this barrier-like sensation - Glides on smoothly without any stiffness - Didn't cause any blemishes
ConsAs mentioned above, it leaves a slight coating feeling after application, which might be a bit heavy for those with oily skin

Application For a stick balm, it applies smoothly without being too stiff. 2. Absorption Rather than feeling like it's absorbed into the skin, it creates a protective barrier on the surface. It's not overly rich and has minimal stickiness, though there is some. 3. Portability and Fragrance When opened, a refreshing lemon scent is released. The stick is compact, making it easy to carry and use on-the-go.
Cons1. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found the presence of some acne-triggering ingredients a bit disappointing.

Especially love how the fragrant smell lingers inside the mask, boosting my mood. Texture: Glides on smoothly without feeling thick or heavy. Hydration: Not just oily, it provides a good balance of moisture, making skin feel extra supple. Emollience: Has just the right amount of richness, perfect for combating dryness in winter.
ConsLike most ampoule balms, it can feel a bit sticky. Less tacky than GH, but more so than YY. Tends to attract hair and dust, so you need to gently pat it into your skin after applying.

I've reduced it to one star.. ✨ Scent The fragrance was pleasant. It has a subtle, refreshing lemon scent. While the lemon scent is quite noticeable when you first apply it, after about a minute, you hardly notice it. So I don't think it'll be a deal-breaker for most people. ✨ Application It glides on smoothly without any stiffness or resistance. ✨ Effectiveness I used it twice daily for a week on areas with freckles, excluding under the eyes and T-zone. So far, I haven't noticed any effects. I can't see any improvement in freckles, nor can I detect any brightening of my complexion. I'll come back with another review after I've used up the entire tube. ✨ Texture I appreciate that the formula doesn't crumble or break apart during use. Unlike some stick balms that tend to crumble, this product has a pleasantly firm texture that holds up well. Some people mentioned that it doesn't stick to hair, but that wasn't my experience. Perhaps it's because I apply it in broad strokes? While it's not an extremely sticky formula, it does tend to cling a bit.
ConsHere's why I deducted one star from my rating. After applying it twice daily for a week, I noticed today when writing this review that half of it has worn down, as shown in the photo. In my opinion, the value for money isn't great considering the price. If I could see even a slight visible effect, I might consider repurchasing, but I'm not sure how many tubes I'd need to use before seeing results.
TipI was certain that if I applied this product to my butterfly zone, it would trigger a breakout party on my face. So I only applied it to the outer areas of my face. On the first day, I only applied it around my eyes where I have freckles. On the second day, I also applied it around my chin, but the next day, I immediately noticed a cluster of blemishes popping up around my chin area. As soon as I stopped applying it to my chin, the issue resolved itself. *I think it would work well if you're careful to avoid areas sensitive to oil.

It glides on smoothly without any tugging, almost like it's gently skating across my skin. You can roll it in circles or swipe it quickly - both ways work great for easy application. The product claims to have brightening effects, and after diligently applying it to my under-eye area, C-zone, and areas with dark spots and freckles, I feel like they've become slightly less noticeable. While they haven't completely disappeared, there's definitely an improvement! The name itself includes 'vitamin', and it really feels like I'm feeding my skin a hearty dose of vitamins. The scent is citrusy, reminiscent of lemons, which lifts my mood every time I apply it. With the changing seasons, my skin has suddenly become extremely dry, but this product leaves it feeling hydrated and applies beautifully.
ConsI couldn't find any downsides, but I hope this product gains more popularity!
TipI especially recommend this stick-type product for people like me who have combination skin - oily in the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin) but dry on the cheeks. It's great because you can easily target and care for just the dry areas.

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.ProsThe case looks clean and sleek. The lemon scent is refreshing and uplifting. It's not an overpowering lemon fragrance, but a subtle one that doesn't cause headaches - I love it! Unlike most sticks that try to eliminate stiffness by being slippery or overly oily, this one doesn't do that. I appreciate that this product tackles both dark spots and brightening. The stick format makes it convenient to apply anytime you want, and its size is perfect for carrying in your bag or pocket.
ConsDue to the short usage period, I'm not sure about its effectiveness on brightening or blemishes. Maybe I'll know with consistent use...? It feels a bit stiff during the first application, but it gets better with use. Oh, and the amount is less than I expected.
TipIt's great for applying whenever you have a moment.

Since it contains vitamin C, I only used it in the evening. After cleansing, I applied a hydrating serum, followed by this stick balm around my eyes and nasolabial folds. It didn't cause any tightness, and I found it convenient for managing both dark spots and skin elasticity simultaneously.
ConsIt doesn't absorb quickly, requiring you to pat it in, which can be inconvenient during busy mornings. I only used it in the evening to avoid potential pilling with makeup.

The pleasant lemon scent is subtle, and even after applying it to the back of my hand, I could detect a faint vitamin aroma when I brought it to my nose. 1. Application: I thought it might be thick, but it spreads smoothly on first use. 2. Feel: After patting it in for absorption, I was surprised by how little oiliness I felt. It provided a moisturizing effect as if I'd applied a thin layer of cream. Even though it's a night product, it felt like a nice 70% hydration to 30% oil ratio. I dislike greasy, heavy feelings, but this didn't have that at all! 3. Functionality: I appreciate that it manages both brightening and firmness simultaneously, and that it can be used day or night without issue.
ConsThis product isn't particularly cost-effective, and there are some disappointing aspects in terms of ingredients. Being a stick format, it's quick to use, but the quantity is on the smaller side, which is unfortunate. It's likely difficult to notice effects with just one tube, so I'd recommend purchasing during a buy-one-get-one-free event.
TipFor areas where you're concerned about dark spots and firmness, don't repeatedly swipe the stick over the same spot. Instead, apply a thin layer, pat it in, then reapply and pat again. This method helps the product adhere better and applies more smoothly.

It feels incredibly soft and absorbs well without any stiffness, melting into the skin beautifully. Zero Oiliness: The fact that my hair doesn't stick to my face after application is a clear sign of its low oil content! This is extremely satisfying. The lack of excess oil makes it feel light and refreshing on the skin, without any heaviness. Portability: Perfect for quick application during travels, and it doesn't leave any residue even when reapplied by hand. Its compact size makes it incredibly convenient to carry around - a definite plus! Packaging/Design: The glossy, luxurious packaging looks fantastic on my vanity! I love the simple design, and the twist-up mechanism works smoothly without any issues so far. Texture: The solid texture ensures it doesn't soften or break easily. Unlike some stick balms that crumble or break, this product maintains its integrity well. Skin Changes After Use: After about a week of use, I haven't noticed an immediate disappearance of blemishes. However, I do feel my complexion has brightened slightly, and my rough skin texture feels a bit more hydrated. I'll need to use it consistently for about a month to see more definitive results!
ConsIngredients: I'm slightly concerned about the shea butter ingredient, which could potentially cause blemishes. I know it's a component that can clog pores, so I'm a bit worried while using it. Although I haven't experienced any skin issues yet, and it seems to be fine for my skin, I'm still a bit disappointed about this ingredient choice.

I was actually thinking of getting a stick-type product anyway. While Gahee's whitening stick is quite stiff, this one is incredibly smooth. It glides on so well, almost slippery-smooth. The hydration is fantastic too. It's even softer than Gahee's multi-balm. I've been using Missha's ampoule, and this stick has the same ingredients plus extra moisture. It's so convenient to swipe under my eyes whenever I think of it. I usually apply it around my eyes about an hour after my skincare routine, and it keeps the area nicely moisturized. I'm really enjoying using it, especially since I can expect some brightening effects too!
ConsWell... the sides are for hydration and the yellow center is for brightening, but it's disappointing that you can't apply just one part as a spot treatment. Being a stick formula, it probably contains a lot of wax, which I'd prefer to avoid on areas with sebaceous glands. The brightening ingredient is only in the center, so it's frustrating that you can't apply it precisely to specific areas. If you try to apply it carefully with just the edge, you're only getting the moisturizing part without the brightening ingredients in the center. For those like me who want to avoid wax or pore-clogging ingredients on certain areas, why did they design it this way? I wish stick products would come in thinner formats.
TipIt's so convenient to quickly swipe under the eyes and on the cheekbones when you're at home. If you've used stiff whitening sticks from other brands before, you'll be completely satisfied with how smoothly this one glides on.
