After some time, it brightens the complexion. Experience: Despite having acne-prone skin, it didn't cause any blemishes. When applied to the neck, arms, and legs, it absorbs within 5-10 minutes, leaving a natural skin-like finish. There's no sticky feeling after application, so you don't feel like there's a layer sitting on your skin! Unlike other brightening moisturizers that fade over time, V10 had longer-lasting effects (maintaining a similar tone until the end of the workday). However, you might need to reapply due to pore-clogging and oiliness.
ConsInitially, it felt like it was just sitting on top of the skin, making it look unnaturally white. You need to apply and blend in small amounts for proper absorption! It's disappointing that it doesn't provide sun protection.
TipFor those with dry skin, make sure to apply a thorough skincare routine before using this product! This is a go-to for people who find foundation, BB cream, or heavy makeup burdensome, but want to naturally enhance their skin tone by one shade.

I've tried various vitamin creams and ampoules, and while they all had a sticky feeling to varying degrees, this cream, although rich, spreads easily and absorbs well without any stickiness! I haven't applied it too thickly, but even with two layers, there was no pilling or stickiness. ★Evens skin tone Perhaps the most important aspect - evening out the skin tone! It brightens naturally without leaving a white cast, which I'm extremely satisfied with. ★Scent It has a subtle, pleasant lemon scent that isn't overwhelming. I love it!
ConsSo far, I haven't found any downsides while using it! Just keep in mind that due to the nature of vitamin creams, it doesn't absorb instantly as if you hadn't applied anything. That's something to consider when purchasing.
TipRemember to apply sunscreen either before or after using this brightening moisturizer!

It's so convenient how the product comes out easily when squeezed. The amount dispensed is just right, making it easy to control. The texture is smooth and not sticky at all. It feels cool and moisturizing when applied, and goes on naturally with a subtle effect.
ConsI'm not sure if I missed something, but I can't tell if this is a product that needs to be washed off or if it's a brightening moisturizer that can be left on overnight. The container is quite long and large.
TipIt's great that there's minimal white cast when I apply this brightening moisturizer after a simple skincare routine and before sunscreen. The amount that comes out is actually more than it seems at first, so it's better to squeeze out a little at a time. If your face and neck have different tones, applying it to your neck can help create a more natural look.

When I'm too lazy for full makeup but don't want to go bare-faced, I apply this lightly before heading out. While it doesn't cover blemishes, it gives my skin a soft, matte finish with a subtle glow, making my complexion look beautiful. When I first received the product and tested it on the back of my hand, I was worried it might be heavy or sticky because the texture seemed quite thick. But after applying it to half of my hand and waiting a while, I noticed the treated area was moisturized inside yet powder-soft on the surface without any stickiness! For someone like me who really dislikes stickiness and heaviness, this is perfect. The scent is lemony or orangey, which might be divisive. I'm not usually a fan of such fragrances, but I've gotten used to this one as it becomes more subtle over time.
ConsIf you don't control the amount well, it can pill. I wish it had sun protection too. Applying sunscreen before this brightening moisturizer tends to cause more pilling.
TipI don't get greedy with the amount. Even though it's a bit of a hassle, I layer it on bit by bit. This method helps reduce pilling.

Application I'm satisfied with how it absorbs! It spreads evenly without patchiness and has a slightly firm finish. It's firm, not sticky! 2. Hydration Usually, brightening moisturizers make my skin feel dry, but not this one! While it doesn't deeply hydrate, it gives a firming sensation? Thanks to this, my makeup doesn't lift, pill, or flake off at all. 3. Brightening effect It brightens the skin tone naturally without looking artificial. Some brightening moisturizers can look cement-like, but this one definitely looks natural. It's great as a makeup base for those who experience darkening during makeup application! My skin darkening has significantly reduced since using this. 4. Coverage As it's a brightening moisturizer, the coverage is minimal to none. However, it does seem to slightly neutralize dull areas due to the brightening effect. 5. Irritation Despite my blemish-prone skin, this didn't cause any new breakouts! No tingling sensation either. I was concerned about applying it during the day due to the vitamin content, but I didn't feel any irritation! 6. Repurchase intention Although I received this as part of The Hwahae Testers, I'd consider purchasing if the price is reasonable! The last brightening moisturizer I liked was from KSNY, but it was a bit drying. I might buy this as it prevents darkening and I like the firming finish.
ConsThe downside is that it doesn't have sun protection... It seems to contain vitamin ingredients, and as it's a brightening moisturizer typically applied in the morning before makeup, the lack of sun protection means we need to apply sunscreen on top of it. As I have blemish-prone skin, I use a mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast and low irritation, but sometimes it feels a bit excessive with the double brightening effect. Other than that, I didn't find any drawbacks.
TipFor those who've experienced base makeup darkening! If you apply brightening moisturizer as the last step of skincare, followed by sunscreen and then base makeup, you'll definitely notice less darkening! When your skin tans in summer, it might look more toned down, but using a brightening moisturizer will make you look radiant. It might be a bit more hassle, but give it a try!

It's lightweight without any stickiness. Being fragrance-free, it suits all preferences, and the best part is that you can apply it all over your body without any white cast. It instantly and naturally evens out your skin tone - it's fantastic!
ConsI wish it had SPF 50 for sun protection along with its tone-evening properties. The lack of sun protection means you have to layer multiple products, which can be a bit of a hassle.

It didn't feel sticky or clump, and there was no white cast, which I found better than my usual brightening moisturizer for evening out my skin tone. I also felt it provided decent hydration.
ConsWhile it absorbs well, I was disappointed that its main function of evening skin tone was barely noticeable. I was hoping for a slightly more radiant complexion, but I didn't see much difference. I'll probably go back to my regular sunscreen. I don't plan on purchasing this again.

It's neither heavy nor sticky, and it does a great job at evening out your skin tone. I also really enjoyed the pleasant citrusy scent it has.
ConsThis brightening moisturizer might be a bit too light for those with darker complexions. On my skin, which is about a shade 25, it initially left a white cast similar to some sunscreens. It took about 2-3 hours before it looked somewhat okay. After testing it on other areas, I think it would blend more naturally on lighter skin tones.

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.Pros※Texture It has a white, thick consistency... reminiscent of mineral sunscreen? It's fragrance-free. ※Application Despite its thick texture, it spreads more smoothly than expected. It doesn't apply with a watery feel, but rather like a rich cream that melts softly as you spread it. It adheres well to the skin without feeling greasy or sticky, which I really liked. It leaves your skin feeling fresh and matte, almost like bare skin, so it should be great for those with oily skin types, especially in summer when a heavy feel can be irritating. ※Brightening effect As you can see in the photos, the brightening effect is truly outstanding. Even with a small amount applied, you can clearly see the difference between the treated and untreated areas. The brightening effect is so good that you need to be careful with the amount to avoid looking ghostly. Highly recommended for those seeking an immediate and noticeable brightening effect. In addition to evening out skin tone, it also has a slight texture-refining effect, helping to cover small blemishes and blackheads. ※Ingredients True to its name as a brightening moisturizer, it not only whitens upon application but also contains ingredients that provide real skin-brightening benefits. It contains niacinamide and 10 types of vitamins, which should be beneficial with continued use. After using it for a few days, I didn't experience any blemishes.
Cons* Depending on your base skincare, it may pill slightly. * It's disappointing that it doesn't have sun protection. * When sprayed with water, it dissolves into a white residue as seen in the photo, so you may need to reapply when sweating a lot.
TipHighly recommended for those with oily skin who experience excess oil in summer, want simple skincare when it's hot and humid, or desire a definite brightening effect.

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.ProsWith a texture similar to sunscreen, it spreads smoothly and leaves a soft, matte finish. As it's summer now, I was particularly conscious of the tone difference between my face and neck. This cream doesn't feel sticky, and being just a cream, I could apply it lightly without worrying about it transferring to clothes. It's great for applying not just on the neck, but anywhere on the body where there's a tone difference. The scent is a refreshing, sweet lemonade fragrance, so every application feels like I'm applying a burst of vitamin C, which I love.
ConsControlling the amount is crucial! The first time I used it, I applied a generous amount thinking it was just a cream, but I ended up looking extremely pale, which was hilarious. When you apply the right amount, it naturally brightens your complexion, making you look radiant. It also helps to even out blemishes and uneven areas to some extent, giving your skin a more polished appearance.
TipUsually, I think of brightening moisturizers as color cosmetics that need thorough cleansing later. However, this one is both a basic moisturizer and a brightening cream, so you can apply it liberally without worrying about removing it later - perfect for lazy people like me! It's ideal for those times when you need to pop out quickly but don't want to go bare-faced. You can just quickly apply this one product and be on your way.
