On the first day, I used this product with a nervous heart, worried it might irritate my skin. Fortunately, it suited my skin well! As I continued to use it day by day, I noticed this product gave me a subtle glow. It made me wonder how it would work with other Estée Lauder products. Next time, I might buy the whole product line to use together! Right now, I'm somewhat inclined to repurchase, but I feel I need to use it a bit longer to be sure.
ConsThe formula is quite runny, so it flows quickly. The dropper format makes it a bit difficult to control the amount. Above all, the price... that's definitely the biggest drawback.
TipIt has a thin consistency. After applying it to my face and rolling a few times, it absorbs quickly! However, it does leave a slight sticky feeling. After that, I applied serum and occasionally used a galvanic device to help it absorb better!

This product has a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs well. I love how quickly it sinks into the skin, and its refreshing feel makes it perfect for summer use. When I apply a generous amount before bed, I wake up with a subtle Inner Glow that's so satisfying. Plus, it's gentle and non-irritating!
ConsThe scent is a bit tangy, which I personally don't care for. I also feel the price might be a bit high for the amount you get.
TipRather than slathering on too much, it's better to apply just enough for your skin to absorb properly!

For a 'night' product, the texture is surprisingly light, and I was initially skeptical about its effectiveness due to its lightweight feel. However, when I woke up in the morning, I noticed a subtle Inner Glow and my complexion looked more refined, confirming its efficacy. Additionally, it has a barely-there scent - 98% fragrance-free with just 2% vinegar scent that you'd have to sniff closely to detect. Once absorbed, there's no vinegar smell at all, even if someone's right next to you. I prefer this subtle scent over added ingredients for complete fragrance-free formulas. 2. As someone in their 20s without many wrinkles, I appreciate this product for its preventative approach to skin aging. It's packed with beneficial ingredients, and I even apply the excess to my neck without any blemishes appearing, feeling a noticeable firming effect. 3. It's not sticky even when applied during summer nights. As mentioned earlier, the lightweight texture and feel made me question if it was truly a night product. However, the results were surprisingly good. I wonder how it'll perform in winter. Though I haven't tried it in colder months yet, judging by how easily it absorbs, it seems the brand focuses on the power of ingredients rather than making empty promises to consumers.
Cons1. The price point is quite high, which can be off-putting. I was fortunate to try it through The Hwahae Testers, but if not for that opportunity, I probably wouldn't have purchased it due to the cost barrier. Moreover, considering the price-to-volume ratio, it can be burdensome to repurchase for long-term, consistent results. While it's understandable for a quality product to command a premium price, it's worth noting that it comes out to about $6 per ml. 2. The dropper's volume control is somewhat disappointing. The amount dispensed doesn't correlate with how hard you squeeze the dropper. Even when trying to get more product by pressing harder, the amount is less than expected. If this is intentional to prevent overuse due to the small volume, it could be seen as a positive. It's more of a minor inconvenience rather than a significant issue.
Tip1. Applying it too thinly in an attempt to conserve the product might not yield significant results. It seems that using an adequate amount is necessary to wake up with that subtle glow and refined complexion.

While I can't confirm the barrier improvement, I did notice an Inner Glow when I woke up after applying it at night! I don't usually wear makeup, but when I applied brightening moisturizer, my skin had a smooth, radiant finish which I loved! For summer makeup, I switched from my usual dewy cushion to a more matte one, and it applied seamlessly without caking. When I received the product, I had blemishes on my cheeks, and while I'm not sure if it's due to the product, they're fading away nicely without leaving marks.
Cons🥲 It didn't seem to effectively reduce redness. I tend to have redness and flushing around my nose, but I didn't notice much improvement with this product. 🥲 The scent is slightly tart, which might not appeal to those sensitive to fragrances. I'm generally not picky, so it didn't bother me much. 🥲 The biggest drawback might be the price - 127,000 won for 20ml. While I'm quite satisfied with the product, the cost makes me hesitant about repurchasing.

Reduced redness I was stressed about the extensive redness on my face, but after a week of use, I noticed a significant reduction, which was great. 2. Quick absorption Unlike some skincare products that feel sticky and unpleasant when I sleep, this one absorbs immediately upon application, which I really appreciate. 3. Waking up with a glow Not only does my skin feel improved, but I wake up with a genuine radiance - not the oily sheen from sleeping, but a real 'Inner Glow' that makes my skin look polished. In short, my skin feels transformed. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product. I'm definitely considering repurchasing.
ConsRoom for improvement: 1. Price If I had to nitpick, the price is a bit steep.

Usage review: After consistent use for a day or two, I found it quite effective for soothing, and it provided enough hydration on its own. 💙 Immediately after application, my skin had an Inner Glow like a peeled egg It felt like it was evening out my skin texture! So when I used it at night followed by Medicube Boost Healer, it was a perfect combination. Sometimes I applied it before makeup, and it made my skin look beautiful! 💙 Suitable for summer use I was initially hesitant about using it in summer, thinking of the original brown bottle serum, but it wasn't heavy at all. It had a clean finish and was moisturizing. Even oily skin types can use it comfortably, and if you're worried, you can reduce the number of other skincare products you use. It's slightly sticky right after application.
ConsI found it so incredibly suitable that I have to really stretch to find any downsides: 🤍 Slightly tangy scent I'm extremely sensitive to fragrances and noticed a slightly tangy scent (my mom couldn't really tell). However, I couldn't really notice it after absorption, so I don't consider it a major drawback. 🤍 Price It's quite expensive, which makes me hesitate to purchase... I end up using it sparingly.
Tip1. Since it contains fermented ingredients, I recommend doing a patch test first if you're not sure how your skin reacts to ferments. 2. If you have Medicube Boost Healer at home, apply a generous amount to your face and let your skin drink it in... It's amazing!

It doesn't feel greasy, but instead provides a plump, hydrated feeling with its moisture-rich texture. ✓ No pilling or caking when used under makeup. ✓ When used with a galvanic device, I noticed a subtle glow on my skin the next morning after cleansing. ✓ Despite having super sensitive skin (I usually get small blemishes if a product doesn't suit me), I didn't experience any irritation.
Cons✓ I'm currently using the original brown bottle, which works well for me. If I had to choose between the two considering the price, I'd vote for the original brown bottle (compared to the original, this one feels a bit ambiguous, hence the 4-star rating). The brown bottle gives a more hydrated and firmer skin feeling, while this product seems to focus on soothing. However, when used after extracting blemishes, I didn't feel it was exceptionally soothing as advertised (I'll add an update if I try it after getting laser treatment). The dropper is frustratingly stingy, dispensing only tiny amounts at a time.
TipMy skin looked great the next day when used with a galvanic device. For those who don't already use the brown bottle line and are looking to purchase something for their dehydrated and tired skin in summer, this product is worth recommending.

This is the most noticeable effect. The lightweight texture and mild scent make it very pleasant to use. My mom, who's in her late 40s, tried it and loved how it left her skin hydrated without any deep dryness.
ConsI didn't notice any significant improvement in wrinkles or skin elasticity. However, since it maintains hydration well, it should help prevent new wrinkles from forming due to dryness.
TipIts gentle formula seems suitable for all skin types

According to the official website, while the original brown bottle focuses more on anti-aging, this product emphasizes rapid skin soothing. 1. Instant brightening + Skin glow After just a few uses, your skin becomes noticeably brighter. I was surprised to see an unprecedented glow on my skin when I first opened it, applied it generously before bed, and then again before makeup the next morning. 2. Improved skin texture The texture becomes more refined, and the skin appears smoother than before. 3. Texture and scent There's a slight stickiness left on the hands after application. However, it absorbs well with a moisturizing feel, and makeup application over it was fine. I was satisfied that it doesn't contain added fragrances, but those sensitive to scents might find it challenging to use. It has a slight vinegar-tinged Vaseline scent? For me, it wasn't unpleasant or off-putting.
Cons1. Unsure about skin soothing after a week of use Despite the one-week claim in promotions, I didn't notice an improvement in skin redness or overall skin condition stabilization.
TipWhile consistent use would likely yield the best results, I personally think it's great to use generously for a few days when your skin feels rough or looks particularly dull, or before an important event. The effects are quite rapid! I've attached a photo comparing it with the original brown bottle for reference.

Wow, what is this? After applying, my face has this incredible 'egg glow' - it's so radiant and luminous! I initially thought it might be a booster to use before the brown bottle, but I can't be certain about its soothing and redness-reducing effects after just a week. However, the egg-like glow is unmistakable after application. I was worried because I have super sensitive skin, but I absolutely love it. I hope this soothing effect continues to strengthen my skin barrier and maintain this beautiful glow.
ConsAfter application, there's a slight stickiness even though it absorbs quickly. It's best to wait for complete absorption before moving to the next step in your routine. I'd recommend applying this at night, then doing other things before returning to your vanity for the next steps in your skincare routine.
