It's not runny, but it applies incredibly lightly, like a gel-type hydrating serum. The product comes in a pump bottle, which made it so convenient to use. I've had my fair share of struggles with dropper-type bottles, especially when trying to use up the last bits, but with this pump design, I had no such worries. The application is super light and moisturizing, just like applying a hydrating serum. You might need to adjust the amount you use though! With the right amount, it absorbs well and leaves a fresh finish without any stickiness. But on days when I applied a bit too much, it took longer to absorb and left a slightly sticky residue. What's great is that unlike many other Vitamin C serums that irritated my skin, this one caused no irritation at all. I was so satisfied that I didn't need an adjustment period! While I haven't been using it for too long, I feel like my overall complexion is brightening up a bit. I think with consistent use, it might help even out my skin tone and make it look clearer, so I'm planning to use up the whole bottle!
ConsThe scent... it's like a herbal medicine smell with maybe 0.1% freshness? If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might find it difficult to use. I'm not extremely sensitive to scents, but I do pay attention to them, and this one is so strong and unpleasant that I have to breathe through my mouth every time I apply it... It's such a shame because if the scent was better, I could see myself using multiple bottles of this.

My complexion has brightened so much that it even makes my dark circles stand out more - that's how radiant it's become. The makeup applies so well now. I used to use Fation Nosca Nine Trouble Serum, but I can feel that my foundation goes on even better than before with this product. I use about one and a half pumps each time, and I don't feel like I'm running through the product quickly at all! The pump dispenser makes it hygienic and easy to control the amount.
ConsTowards the end of my trial, the area around my lips became chapped, and when the serum touched it, it stung quite a bit. Those with super sensitive skin might want to be careful with this one. The fragrance is extremely artificial. It's somewhere between yuzu and tangerine, but it's so synthetic that it's a bit off-putting. The texture is really watery - if you tilt your hand even slightly after pumping, it runs right off. When you try to dab it on, if you apply even a little too much pressure, it squirts out everywhere.
TipI usually layer serums twice, but this product absorbs so well that one layer is enough - no need to apply multiple times!

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.Pros1. Absorbs well and feels great I loved how it applies smoothly and absorbs quickly! It's not overly sticky or watery, making it a pleasure to use. 2. Hydrating power While it may not be a hydration powerhouse that completely eliminates the need for other products, it does provide sufficient moisture. 3. No pilling under makeup It absorbs so quickly that you can apply makeup right after without any pilling - that's a big plus! 4. Doesn't cause blemishes It seems to suit my skin well as I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation while using it.
Cons1. Artificial lemon scent Honestly, I don't understand why they added fragrance. Personally, I wasn't a fan. 2. Slight stickiness There is a bit of stickiness after application. 3. No noticeable skin improvement I've used it for a week, but perhaps due to the short period, I haven't noticed any significant effects yet. I'll update if I see improvements with continued use.

As we're entering the sunny season, products like this are essential... ✔️ Texture & Application - Transparent formula with a noticeable viscosity, glides on smoothly. Absorption is on the slower side. - Has a rich, bouncy hydration. No need for an additional hydrating serum. - Non-irritating. - Didn't cause any blemishes. - Slightly lightened areas with blemish discoloration! ✔️ Packaging Loved that it's a pump bottle, not a dropper. The amount dispensed per pump is just right. I find myself reaching for it often. It's so convenient.
Cons✔️ Scent This is the product's biggest drawback. It has an artificial scent like old bandages or medicine mixed with a synthetic lemon fragrance, which isn't great. Fortunately, it's not overpowering, so it's tolerable. ✔️ After-feel While it provides good hydration, the finish is a bit sticky. It's fine for me as I apply cream afterwards, but I wouldn't recommend using it before makeup!
TipCompared to A*soy's blemish serum which is super lightweight with almost no moisture, this one is much more hydrating and has better moisture retention. During my ten-day trial, I noticed my discolored areas becoming slightly lighter, so I plan to continue using it... I'd recommend this to dry skin types who aren't sensitive to fragrances!

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.Pros1. It's thinner than a snot-like texture. It applies smoothly without being sticky. It absorbs well, so you can apply multiple layers without pilling. 2. The container is relatively light, and the pump dispenses product very smoothly. 3. My skin became brighter and blemishes faded. At first, I wasn't sure if it was working, but my overall complexion improved, making the blemishes less noticeable. 4. I've experienced tingling with other blemish serums, but the Toning C Serum didn't cause any irritation. It was great to use even on my super sensitive skin.
Cons1. The scent is ambiguous and has an artificial citrus smell. It dissipated quickly for me so I didn't mind, but if you're sensitive to fragrances, I recommend smelling it before purchasing.
TipWhile it's a hydrating serum, it may not provide enough lasting moisture during dry seasons. It works best when followed up with a cream or emulsion.

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.ProsFirst off, my skin has recently recovered a bit from acne and contact dermatitis caused by using face oil. However, I still have some acne scars and dark spots above my mask line due to wearing masks. I was worried about my dark spots getting darker and was considering using prescription creams, but I heard they can have significant side effects. So, I was looking for skincare products when I luckily got selected as a Hwahae Tester and came across this product. Packaging: The container feels slightly weighty and sturdy, giving it a premium feel. Texture: The product has a slightly sticky, transparent liquid texture. When applied to the skin, it spreads evenly. I felt a slight tingling sensation when it touched my acne scars. After application, it absorbed quickly, and the sticky feeling disappeared soon, leaving a nice finish. Effectiveness: Although I haven't used it long enough to say it's truly effective for dark spots, I feel like they've become slightly lighter than before. I used to have skin of steel that rarely experienced any reactions to cosmetics, but recently my skin has become super sensitive and prone to blemishes. So, I was a bit worried about trying a new product and only applied it locally on my dark spots. Fortunately, I didn't experience any irritation at all! If the scent could be improved a bit, I think this would become a product I'd reach for often.
ConsScent: To me, the product's fragrance felt artificial, so I had to hold my breath slightly while applying it. The scent didn't linger after application, but it would be nice if the fragrance could be improved a bit.

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.ProsBefore I share what I liked, let me give you some info about my skin condition: Sensitive + combination dehydrated skin + weak skin barrier While on a diet and cutting down on flour, I achieved the best skin of my life. This made me want to improve my blemishes too. Luckily, I was chosen to be part of The Hwahae Testers, so here's my review~ To cut to the chase, this product didn't work for me at all!!! However, my younger brother ended up using it well~! First off, the texture and absorption were great~ It felt like applying a soothing gel, so it went on smoothly! After application, it didn't feel heavy and had a light finish~! As for blemishes, we'll need more time to tell, but since my brother has quite dark skin, it seemed to brighten it a bit! I'd recommend this to people with healthy skin.
ConsThe artificial scent was strong, and when I first applied it, my face stung a lot. Sure enough, the next day I noticed small blemishes starting to appear. After calming my skin for about 3 days, I tried again, but it still didn't suit me, so I gave up. Others said it absorbs quickly, but for me, it felt like it was just sitting on top of my skin. I was so disappointed that I gave it to my younger brother, and he says it works great for him~! If you have a weak skin barrier or super sensitive skin like me, you might want to patch test first.
TipI applied the serum and then used a modeling mask to help it absorb~! Before applying a heavy cream, use a sponge to apply a thin layer~ It might be better to apply it at night rather than in the morning~

TipDue to its slightly sticky texture, I recommend applying this product only to specific blemish areas rather than all over your face.

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.ProsUnlike other reviews, I didn't feel any stickiness. I tend to apply a generous pump to each area of my face, and I'm satisfied with how quickly it absorbs and creates an Inner Glow. Even when I apply a large amount at once, it initially looks white like an ointment, but I was surprised at how quickly it absorbs. Maybe I didn't notice any stickiness because I have dry skin? Rather than being sticky, it adheres to the face nicely, giving it a glow. Currently, I have a lot of dark spots and pigmented acne scars. This is my first time using a product targeting blemishes, so I'm not sure about its effectiveness yet. However, I plan to continue using it.
ConsThose sensitive to fragrances might find it irritating. The artificial lemon scent can sometimes smell like medicine.

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.Pros1. Absorbs quickly and adheres well to the skin 2. Pump-type bottle with just the right amount dispensed 3. Creates a natural Inner Glow 4. Doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin (5 days of use so far)
Cons1. Feels a bit sticky - I usually prefer a matte finish, so even the slightly tacky residue feels sticky to me, which is a bit disappointing 2. The fragrance is too artificial - Usually, you get used to scents over time, but this serum's fragrance lingers, which can be uncomfortable at times (I'm sensitive to fragrances). Some people say it's similar to the Goodal Tangerine Serum scent, but this one has a longer-lasting artificial undertone + As I've only been using it for 5 days, I can't comment on the brightening effects yet. So far, there haven't been any significant changes. I think I'll need to use the entire bottle consistently to really tell
