There weren't any downsides... The only minor drawback might be that it's small, so it runs out a bit quickly?

A hydrating and lightweight essence.
I bought this for some dark acne scars and pigmentation.
By the time I was finishing the first bottle, I noticed the marks had really faded significantly.
I've continued using it consistently. I've gone through three bottles and plan to purchase more.

I honestly can't think of any downsides. I'm completely satisfied with both the texture and the scent.

After trying the sample, I loved it so much I bought three full-size products!
It's not sticky at all, and even applying just one layer keeps my skin from feeling dry.

Since it's a pump-type bottle, it's a bit difficult to use up every last drop efficiently.

After using it for about 8 months, I've seen the most improvement in my complexion! While preparing for exams, hormonal changes caused a lot of blemishes and resulting pigmentation. I had been using only hydrating serums, but when I switched to this cica ampoule, I could clearly see the difference. Of course, given its ingredients, it also had a soothing effect. I'm already on my second bottle and plan to keep repurchasing after I finish this one.

While it lacks any standout features, it's a versatile hydrating serum that can be used for various purposes

A lightweight formula that's not just airy, but leaves skin feeling deeply hydrated and supple - like a moisture-packed serum

I honestly didn't find anything to complain about!
I've been using a small sample kit, but once I finish it, I'm definitely considering repurchasing.

Great for oily skin types as it's not greasy at all!
It provides just the right amount of hydration without any oiliness - it's perfectly moist without being overly wet, which I love.
It absorbs quickly too. You don't need to spend a long time waiting for it to sink in.

없어요 저랑 너뮤 잘맞은 제품이에요 쟁여둘거에요 
아 건성은 수분이 부족할지도 모르겠어요

수분감 - 수분감이 너무 무겁지도 너무 가볍지도 않거 적당했어요. 복합성인 저에게 딱 잘 맞았어요

성분 - 성분이 착해서 민감피부인 저에게도 너무 잘 맞고 자극 1도 없었어요. 데일리로 쓰기 너무 좋아요

흔적케어 - 여드름 흔적이 아예 사라지지는 않았지만 약간 옅어지는게 보였어요

진정 - 진정도 잘 되고 정말 좋은 저에게 인생템될 것 같아요

Although it's marketed as a spot-fading serum, I unfortunately didn't see any results even after finishing the entire bottle.

I used this product without any blemishes appearing. The texture was gentle, and it absorbed well into my skin.

For best results, apply a thin layer all over your face, then spot-treat blemish marks with a thicker application. This targeted approach helps fade marks more quickly.

The price point is a bit steep, which is a shame. I'd recommend waiting for a sale on the official website to make your purchase!

This product is fantastic for blemish marks. My skin usually takes forever to heal, which was really stressful, but I've seen a noticeable improvement when I apply it generously to affected areas before bed. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, making it perfect for layering. You can apply it multiple times without any stickiness!

I've found it works best when used after a breakout has subsided and you're left with marks, rather than on active blemishes. That's when you'll see the most impressive results!

I've found a technique that works well for me: After cleansing, I gently swipe my face with toner on a cotton pad. Then I apply this serum in two thin layers, allowing each to absorb. This method really helps refine my skin texture, leaving it soothed and hydrated without any stickiness. For my combination dehydrated skin, I've had great results using the serum with a hydrating moisturizer in the morning, and pairing it with a richer cream at night.

While it's nice that it provides a light layer of hydration, on its own the moisturizing effect doesn't last very long. I found I needed to pair it with other hydrating products, especially in the evening. During drier seasons or in environments with strong air conditioning, using this alone might not feel quite sufficient.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I'm particularly conscious of stickiness or heaviness when choosing a calming serum. This product really impressed me with its application - it feels refreshingly light yet subtly hydrating. I noticed it quickly soothed areas where blemishes were starting to form, and overall my skin felt comfortably balanced. I've been happily using it morning and night as part of my daily routine.

Apart from wishing there was more product, I didn't find any major issues. However, some might feel it doesn't absorb as quickly as they'd like.

It absorbs well and seems perfect for dry skin types like mine.

The product seems to have a gentle formula that's kind to sensitive skin. However, its watery texture might be challenging for some users to work with effectively.

The consistency was too thin, making it difficult to apply as it just ran down my face.

It's been a while since I used it, but the experience was fantastic! No irritation at all, and it felt amazing on my skin.

It's quite runny, so when I dispense it into my hand, it tends to drip and I've spilled quite a bit on the floor.

I've been using this for just under a month and a half, and it absorbs quickly. After using it, I've noticed a significant reduction in my blemish marks!
