Pros
Skin Type: Dry in seasonal changes - Small and lightweight, easy to carry - Stick-type, so it's convenient to apply anytime - Lemon candy scent, can be applied without aversion - When applied to the face, it has a slightly coated feeling rather than a fully absorbed feeling, which was actually better for my dry skin as it formed a protective layer - Applies smoothly without any stickiness - No breakouts occurred
Cons
As mentioned earlier, the slightly coated feeling after application may be burdensome for oily skin types

Pros
1. Smooth Application It applies smoothly and is not too thick or stiff, but rather soft and comfortable. 2. Absorption Rather than being fully absorbed into the skin, it creates a protective barrier on the surface. It is not overly oily and has minimal stickiness, but there is a slight residue. 3. Portability and Fragrance When opened, a refreshing lemon scent is released. The stick is not too large, making it easy to carry and use.
Cons
1. As someone with combination skin, the acne-inducing ingredients were slightly disappointing.

Pros
Citrus aroma with a refreshing tangerine scent - highly satisfactory The fragrant smell continues even while wearing a mask, which is very pleasant Smooth application Not too thick, applies smoothly and evenly Moisture Contains not just oil but also moisture, making it more hydrating Oil content Has a moderate amount of oil, so it would be good to use in the dry winter season
Cons
Like most ampoule balms, it has a slightly sticky texture Not as sticky as Brand A, but more so than Brand B Hair and dust tend to stick to it Need to gently rub it in with your hands after applying to your face

Pros
Skin Type Combination skin / Concerned with large pores and blackheads +) Review after finishing the product The effects were completely ineffective.. I've deducted one star. ✨️Fragrance The fragrance was good. It has a pleasant, subtle lemon scent. When you first apply it, the lemon scent is quite strong, but after about a minute, you don't really notice it anymore, so there won't be much dislike for the fragrance. ✨️Texture It applies smoothly and softly, without any thick or sticky feeling. ✨️Effectiveness I used it twice a day for a week, on the areas with freckles except for the eye area and T-zone. But I haven't noticed any effects yet. I can't tell if it's improving the freckles or brightening my skin tone. I'll come back after finishing the whole bottle. ✨️Formulation The formulation is good as it doesn't get mushy or crumbly when used. Stick balms often get crumbly, but this one maintains a nice, firm texture without that issue. Some say their hair doesn't stick to it, and for me, it didn't either. Maybe because I apply it quite generously. It's not extremely sticky, but it does have some tackiness.
Cons
This is why I deducted one star. After using it twice a day for a week, I noticed that half of the product is already used up, as shown in the photo. In my opinion, the cost-effectiveness is not that great. If I could see even a little bit of effect, I would consider repurchasing, but I'm not sure how many bottles I would need to see any results.
Tip
I was certain that if I applied this product on the T-zone, it would cause a breakout outbreak on my face. So I only applied it to the outer areas of my face. On the first day, I applied it only around the eyes where I have freckles, and on the second day, I also applied it around the chin area. The next day, I immediately had breakouts popping up around my chin. As soon as I stopped applying it to the chin area, it got better. *It seems to work well if you avoid applying it to the oily/sensitive areas.

Pros
This 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.
Cons
There were no downsides, but it would be great if this product became more well-known. 🌝
Tip
Since 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. 🙂

Pros
The case looks neat and clean. The lemon scent is refreshing and makes me feel good. It's not a strong lemon scent, but a subtle one, so it doesn't give me a headache and I really like it. Most sticks are very slippery or oily to get rid of the stickiness, but this one is not like that. I like that this product can address both freckles (blemishes) and whitening. The stick format is convenient to apply whenever I want, and the size is suitable to carry in a bag or pocket.
Cons
The usage period is short, so I'm not sure about the effects on whitening or blemishes. Maybe if I use it consistently, I'll be able to tell...? And when I first used it, it felt a bit sticky. But it gets better as I use it. Ah, the amount is much less than I expected.
Tip
It's good to apply it whenever I have the chance.

Pros
The product glides on smoothly without feeling heavy, making it easy to apply to the area under the eyes and around the laugh lines without any discomfort. Since it contains vitamin C, I only used it in the evenings. After cleansing, I would apply a soothing serum and then the stick balm under my eyes and around the laugh lines. This allowed me to effectively manage dark spots and firmness without any tightness.
Cons
It doesn't absorb quickly, so you have to pat it in, which can be inconvenient in the busy mornings. I only used it in the evenings to avoid any makeup clumping.

Pros
I wrote this review honestly as a trial reviewer. The subtle lemon scent was pleasant, and when I held it up to my nose after applying it to the back of my hand, I could faintly detect the vitamin fragrance as well.🍋 1. Spreadability I thought it would be thick, but after the first use, it spread smoothly. 2. Usage When I patted it in to help it absorb, I barely felt any oiliness. It also provided a moisturizing effect, like applying a thin layer of cream. Even though it's nighttime, I'd say it's about 70% hydrating and 30% oily, which I liked. I don't like feeling greasy and heavy, and this didn't make me feel that way! 3. Functionality I liked that it can manage whitening and elasticity at the same time, and that I can use it day or night.👍🏻
Cons
This product isn't great value for money, and there are some disappointing aspects in terms of the ingredients. Since it's a stick, it's easy to swipe on quickly, but the volume is quite small, so I'm worried the effects will be hard to feel with just one tube. I'd recommend buying it during a 1+1 promotion.
Tip
If you're concerned about freckles and elasticity, don't swipe it on thickly all at once. Apply a thin layer and pat it in, then add more and pat again. This will help it adhere better and spread more evenly.😊

Pros
❤️ Smooth Application Among the ampoules I've tried so far, this one had the least stickiness and felt the smoothest and most seamless on my skin. It melts into the skin without any heaviness or stickiness, which I really enjoyed. ❤️ Zero Oiliness The fact that it doesn't make my hair feel greasy is a sign that it's not too oily. I'm very satisfied with this as it applies refreshingly without any heavy or stuffy feeling. ❤️ Portability It's great for travel, as I can just swipe it on, and there's no residue left behind when I apply it with my fingers. The compact size makes it very convenient to carry around. ❤️ Packaging/Design The sleek, glossy packaging looks luxurious on my vanity. The simple design is nice, and I haven't had any issues with the product not coming out smoothly when I twist the container. ❤️ Texture The texture is firm but doesn't feel stiff or hard. Some stick products can become brittle and break easily, but this one maintains its structure well. ❤️ Skin Changes After Use After using it for about a week, I haven't noticed any dramatic changes in my dark spots yet. But my skin tone does appear a bit brighter, and the texture feels slightly more hydrated. I'll need to use it for a full month to see more significant results.
Cons
🤔 Ingredients The inclusion of shea butter is a bit concerning, as I know it can potentially clog pores and cause breakouts. I'm a bit worried about using this product, even though I haven't experienced any issues with it so far. The ingredient list makes me feel a bit uneasy.

Pros
I was in the middle of using up my previous product when I was suddenly selected as a winner! I was so surprised~ I was already planning to buy a stick-type product anyway. The Gahui whitening stick is super thick, but this one is completely smooth and glides on effortlessly. The moisture is also amazing. It's even more soft and smooth than the Gahui multi-balm. I've been using the Missha ampoule, and this stick-type product with the same ingredients is so convenient to just swipe under my eyes whenever I think about it. After applying my full skincare routine, I like to lightly dab this around my eyes about an hour later. It keeps the undereye area hydrated, and I'm hopeful it will help with brightening as well. I'm really loving using this product!
Cons
Hmm...the yellow part in the middle is the whitening ingredient, but it's a shame that I can't just apply that spot-specifically. Since it's a stick format, it probably has a lot of wax, which I'd prefer to avoid applying to my oily, pore-prone areas. The whitening ingredients are in the center, so it's difficult to carefully apply just that part without getting the wax-heavy outer areas. If I try to apply it just to the edges, then I'm missing out on the whitening benefits in the middle. I wish they had made this in a thinner, more targeted stick format so people like me who want to avoid certain ingredients could still use the beneficial parts. I hope the brand considers making a version like that in the future for those of us who want to be more selective in our application.
Tip
When I'm at home, it's so convenient to just quickly swipe this under my eyes whenever I think about it. For anyone who's used thicker, more waxy whitening sticks before, this one will feel like it just glides on effortlessly - you'll be really satisfied with how smoothly it applies.
