I'm pleased to say it lived up to my expectations, especially in fading blemish marks. Within days of use, I noticed my complexion looked slightly more even and radiant, and I could see a visible reduction in dull areas. The serum worked hard on improving my skin tone and clearing up dark spots. I was relieved to find that it didn't cause any breakouts or clog my pores, which can sometimes happen with potent treatments. Pros: • Excellent for fading hyperpigmentation and blemish marks • Noticeably evens out skin tone and adds radiance • Doesn't trigger acne or congested skin
ConsCons: • May cause irritation for those with sensitive skin • Can lead to redness and a slight tingling sensation upon application • Better suited for nighttime use and occasional rather than daily application
TipOverall assessment: While I highly recommend this serum for those seeking effective results in tackling hyperpigmentation, I'd advise caution for those with super sensitive skin. A patch test is absolutely essential before incorporating it into your skincare routine. As someone with sensitive skin, I experienced some redness and a slight burning sensation after application. I found it necessary to follow up with soothing skincare, which made daily use a bit challenging. Despite these minor setbacks, the visible improvements in my skin tone and the fading of dark spots make this serum a worthwhile addition to my skincare arsenal. Just remember to use it judiciously and perhaps start with less frequent applications to gauge your skin's tolerance.

While I rarely get blemishes, my skin is thin and prone to fine lines. I prefer a moisturizing finish as my skin quickly becomes dry if not properly hydrated. The most satisfying aspect of using this product was the noticeable brightening effect in the morning. After applying it before bed, I'd wake up to see a clearer complexion in the mirror. Rather than an instant whitening effect, it felt like my skin tone was more even. Unlike many vitamin products that can feel heavy or sticky, this serum is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it comfortable to use both morning and night. Another advantage is its reasonable price. Many vitamin serums are expensive and difficult to use consistently, but this product is relatively affordable. Since consistent use is key for seeing results, I think it's important to choose a cost-effective product, and this one definitely satisfied me in that regard.
ConsWhen it comes to vitamin serums, many expect an instant brightening effect, but I didn't experience the dramatic results I've seen in YouTube or Instagram reviews. While consistent use does seem to even out the skin tone, it doesn't dramatically brighten after just one or two uses. Another downside is that it can cause a tingling sensation when used on days when your skin isn't in its best condition. As someone with redness-prone skin, I felt a slight burning sensation right after application. Fortunately, it subsides over time, but it might be best to avoid using it on days when your skin feels sensitive. Also, possibly due to the vitamin content, when I used an exfoliating toner the next morning, I noticed a yellowish tint on the cotton pad. It didn't feel like residual serum, but it might be a good idea to be thorough with your exfoliating toner.
TipThis product is said to be most effective when applied immediately after cleansing, so it might be best to keep it in the bathroom for immediate use. Also, using it together with the niacinamide product from the same line can enhance the brightening effect in the morning. If you want to focus on intensive brightening care, I recommend using them together!

At first, I thought it might be a bit irritating, but using this product didn't cause any new blemishes to appear.
ConsFor those with super sensitive skin, using this daily might definitely cause too much irritation.

It hasn't caused any blemishes, and I'm completely satisfied with it. I bought it hoping to brighten my skin and reduce pigmentation, and it's truly delivering on those promises.
ConsThe only downside is the slightly inconvenient application method, which is typical for Vitamin C products. There's also a faint, characteristic Vitamin C scent. Oh, and the short shelf life is a bit disappointing. Once it changes color, you have to toss it regardless of how much is left.
TipI find that combining this with oral Vitamin C supplements seems to enhance the skin benefits. Drinking plenty of water helps too! Apply this serum while your toner is still slightly damp on your skin. Then wait 3-5 minutes before applying your moisturizer for better results. If you use it during the day (which is great!), don't forget to pair it with sunscreen. Also, remember to store it in the refrigerator!

After a month of use, people noticed my complexion looked clearer. Although the bottle seems small, it's a liquid formula so it lasts quite a while. With consistent use, you may notice a subtle brightening effect on your skin tone. The price is relatively affordable, making it easy to apply generously.
ConsIt has a distinct fermented cosmetics scent, similar to some other skincare products. Personally, I didn't find it bothersome, so I didn't pay much attention to it. For those with super sensitive skin, I'd recommend patch testing before full application. Since it contains vitamin C, it might be slightly intense for some. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so it worked well for me.
TipRecommended to store in the refrigerator or at a cool temperature for best results.

While the scent isn't the best, I noticed my skin seemed to become clearer with consistent use!
ConsIt's a bit sticky, so I only applied it at night and avoided using it during the day under makeup. Also, it gives my face a slightly yellowish tint. The brightening effect isn't dramatic long-term, but with regular application, I noticed my skin tone became somewhat more even.
TipI've heard that vitamin C shouldn't be applied when exposed to sunlight, so I only used it at night!

After trying the 23 serum from the same line and finding it too harsh for me, I decided to give this a shot. It turned out to be a wise choice. There's definitely a noticeable improvement in my complexion - my skin looks clearer.
ConsAdmittedly, there was some initial irritation when I first started using it, but my skin quickly adapted.
TipBeing a vitamin-based product, it absorbs well into the skin before I move on to the next step in my routine.

It's so amazing... My friend even said I looked fairer than before. The texture is watery and runs easily, so you need to apply it carefully, and it's slightly sticky. Since I have super sensitive skin, I apply toner, then this serum, and finish with a soothing hydrating cream.
ConsIt needs to be used within 2 months and refrigeration is inconvenient. The distinctive scent is quite unpleasant and hard to get used to, but I continued using it because the effects were good.
TipI used it very cautiously, worried that my skin might react badly. When I had blemishes and my skin was sensitive, I applied a different soothing ampoule. If you're sensitive like me, I think it would be good to apply a vitamin serum and then a moisturizer.
