It seems to absorb well too.
ConsWhen applied before bed, it leaves yellow stains on the pillowcase. Also, when applied by hand, it leaves a strong metallic smell on your fingers.
TipIf you tend to toss and turn in your sleep, it might be better to apply it in the morning or use a dedicated towel on your pillow at night!

ConsFor sensitive skin, it might cause some irritation, so it's best to start with small amounts.

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!

It's not irritating at all and gives me a brighter complexion. I'm on my 6th purchase, and my skin has visibly improved!!!
ConsFor me, higher concentrations can be too harsh. The 13% formula is just perfect! If you have sensitive skin, I recommend sticking with the 13% version!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsMy skin type is oily, sensitive, prone to redness, with visible pores and seborrheic dermatitis concerns. I've always been cautious about active skincare due to my sensitive skin, but I've become increasingly interested in skin brightening. I've been eyeing vitamin serums, and when I saw the COSRX Skin Booster & Vitamin Serum set on sale at a great price, I decided to give it a try based on positive reviews. Many reviewers mentioned seeing brightening effects and experiencing no irritation. I can confirm that it truly didn't irritate my skin at all. I was worried it might cause a tingling sensation, but perhaps due to its lower concentration, I didn't experience any discomfort. The price point was also very reasonable, making it great value for money. I think this product is perfect for beginners venturing into vitamin serums.
ConsTo be honest, when using a vitamin serum, the main thing I'm hoping for is a brightening effect. However, I'm not sure if I've seen any noticeable results in that area. It could be because of the lower concentration or because I've been using it sparingly due to my sensitive skin, but I really can't tell any difference. Also, the finish feels a bit sticky? It has a slightly tacky texture that clings to the skin. I bought it during hot weather and had to store it in the fridge, which was a bit inconvenient. Unless I start seeing some improvement in terms of brightening, I probably won't repurchase this product.
TipWhen using the vitamin serum, I pair it with a soothing cream. When it's time for retinol cream, I use a calming serum. I've learned not to use vitamin and retinol products together, so I've been following that advice.

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.ProsAfter using this for nearly two months, I can definitely say my complexion has become clearer. 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!

It's definitely less irritating than the 23% version. This 13% would be great for beginners. It's quite effective for pigmentation and brightening the complexion! Rather than saying it whitens the skin, I'd say it makes your complexion look more radiant.
ConsIt can sting if applied to bare skin, so make sure to use it as the second step after applying your toner or essence.
