It is characterized by a fluid-like texture that is easily absorbed! Using it as a pre-step to your basic skincare routine makes the next step products absorb better.
ConsEyes can be very irritated if it gets into them, so it must be used with caution ใ ใ Other than that, there's really nothing disappointing about it!
TipUse it first after cleansing! The peptide ingredients will better capture the ingredients of the following basic care products.

It absorbs quickly and is moisturizing.
ConsThere is some eye irritation. It is lightweight, so it tends to slide off easily. I feel it's a bit lacking with just one application, so I've been applying it a few times. I've used it for about 2 weeks, but I'm not sure about the whitening effects yet.
TipAt first, I just apply it thinly, and then later I soak a cotton pad with it and leave it on, which makes it more moisturizing and smooths out fine lines.

I finally found the holy grail ๐Moisturizing: I'm extremely satisfied.... You know how hard it is for products to absorb well when your skin is constantly flaking, right? But this is one of the few holy grail products that absorbs really well ๐Texture: It has a runny, watery consistency, but it's just the right amount. When you dispense it onto your hand and spread it, it doesn't drip down your arm, but it's also not too heavy. ๐Fragrance: Fragrance-free!!!
Cons๐ฅฒIt stings when it gets in your eyes ๐ฅฒThe pumping power is really poor.... โผ๏ธBut it's so good that I'm on my second bottle
Tip๐จIf you apply it generously and use a massager to help it absorb, it's just as good as a sheet mask. Doing this before makeup makes the makeup apply so much better - it's crazy

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsA trusted COSRX product The skin+serum formula gave me the feeling of applying both skin and serum at once The gentle and mild formula did not irritate my skin at all I liked that it was fragrance-free It's good to use in the winter - it's in between a watery skin and a liquid serum The large volume makes it a good value if used as a serum
ConsAs someone with very sensitive eyes, I felt a slight stinging sensation It felt a bit lacking compared to using an essence or serum For oily skin, it might feel a bit heavy to use as a skin in the summer
TipI prefer a more watery skin, so I would sometimes mix this product with a skin containing ingredients like bamboo extract when I wanted a slightly more enriched formula

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a truly gentle product. It delivers functionality and moisture without any fragrance or irritation, allowing for a very comfortable and easy-to-use experience. The serum booster, priced at around 15,000 won for 150ml, with its hygienic and convenient pump-type packaging, seems to be the reason for its popularity! In terms of ingredients, it tackles both whitening and wrinkle improvement, and the 6 types of peptides can help address various skin concerns such as pores and skin texture, making it a well-made product.
ConsWhile there is a warning to be careful not to get it in your eyes, if it does get in, it will definitely sting, so please use it cautiously. It's such a great product, but the reason I deducted a star is because of pilling. When I apply a tone-up sun cream or makeup on top, it often pills up a bit, which is disappointing.
TipAs this is a booster serum, it would be best to apply it before your nighttime skincare routine or before using other functional products! Or, you can use it for a one-step skincare routine in the morning without makeup/sunscreen.

My skin is a bit dry, and these days my makeup has been settling into the creases around my nose, but I've been using a hydrating skincare set to combat the dryness. When you apply this product right after cleansing, any other skincare products just get absorbed into the skin seamlessly...the glow is no joke. Before using it, I didn't know, but once you try it, you just can't help but keep using it..๐ The application is also top-notch. The base absorbs evenly across the entire face, so cushion foundations or liquid foundations apply really smoothly afterwards..!!!๐
ConsIf it gets in your eyes, it stings a lot - be careful๐ซ You don't need to apply a lot, so be careful around the eye area when applying.
TipApply it right after cleansing, in the order of toner, ampoule, and then cream. The booster absorbs really quickly, so if you apply it before your other skincare, ๐ถit's pure honeyโฃ๏ธ

It feels more sticky than hydrating, but when you absorb it, it's not slippery or greasy - it's more like a dense, bouncy texture. To put it positively, it's dense and bouncy! I think this would be great for those who want intense moisturization and nourishment.
ConsWhen I applied this and then used other products, my skin felt a bit stuffy, different from normal. Because of that, the oil seemed to come up faster than usual, making my skin feel greasy quickly. When I just used my usual serum without this, the greasy, stuffy feeling didn't happen. *Also, be careful not to get it in your eyes or on any wounds* When it got in my eyes, it was really stinging. You have to be very careful to avoid any trouble spots or wounds when using this!
TipAs mentioned in the directions, this should be used as the first step in your skincare routine! *Applying it before your other serums and ampoules will enhance the effects of the products you use after it*

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review I wrote as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer after winning the Hwahae event. Since I likely have similar skin to yours, I hope this honest review helps you make a careful choice. ๐ซถ๐ป It's great for those sensitive to fragrance, as it's almost fragrance-free. I'm very sensitive to fragrances, and products with strong scents usually give me headaches, but this one is almost completely unscented. There's a slight prickly scent, but it's very minimal. ๐ซถ๐ป The texture is pleasantly viscous yet bouncy. The formula is runny but has a unique bouncy quality to it. It feels interesting to apply. As mentioned in the pros, it's great for using as a cleansing pad or as a serum-like product. ๐ซถ๐ป It works well as both a cleansing pad and a serum. ๐ซถ๐ป The pump packaging makes it hygienic to dispense.
Cons๐ It's too irritating and itchy on my skin. At first, I thought it might just be in my head, but the stinging and itchiness continued on the back of my hand and on my face. Even now, as I'm using it, my skin feels inflamed and irritated. ๐ It makes my skin excessively red and hot after use. As expected, since it doesn't agree with my skin, it causes redness and an uncomfortable heat sensation. Even after applying a lot of soothing gel, the burning feeling doesn't go away. ๐ It's quite oily but lacks moisture, so it might not be suitable for either oily or dry skin types. When first applied, the absorption is slow, and even after absorption, there's a greasy, oily feel on the skin, while the moisture level feels lacking. Oily skin types might experience increased oil production, and dry skin types might experience dryness and flaking. ๐ When I wear makeup after using this, it keeps feeling uneven and flaky.

I've been using a vitamin serum and it has been effective in fading blemishes and dark spots. As a person with troubled skin, the marks left by blemishes have caused me a lot of stress, but using the peptide serum and vitamin serum has really cleared up my skin. And it's gentle, so I don't get any new breakouts. It has a watery toner-like feel, so it's easy to apply a lot, which I like. It feels like I'm getting my money's worth, so I plan to repurchase it.
ConsIt's gentle, but if you accidentally get it in your eyes, it stings. It's gentle on the skin, but not so gentle on the eyes, so you have to be careful when applying it.
TipBe sure to apply the peptide serum first, and then the 'functional' serum afterwards.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Moisturizing Although it is called a boosting serum, the viscosity is close to that of a toner. The formulation has a slightly, very slightly, more viscous texture than water. It's almost like water. Even if I apply this serum twice in the winter, it still feels a bit dry... Since this is a boosting serum, it's probably better to apply other ampoules or the like after using this serum. In the summer, it might be usable with a 2-layer application. The instructions say to use this as the first step in your skincare routine, and it's true that applying this serum as the first step, rather than after toner, helps with absorption and is better. The toner I use is quite watery, so the difference between toner-serum and starting with this serum is almost negligible..haha 2. Fragrance I'm glad there are no added fragrances, as it is fragrance-free. To me, it had a faint ginseng-like scent(?) Since the scent is very subtle, you can consider it fragrance-free. 3. Functionality After using this product morning and evening for a week, I didn't really see noticeable results in terms of whitening or wrinkle improvement. However, on the first day, the size of my pores seemed to have decreased slightly!! I've been concerned about this, so I'll try to use it consistently. Overall A decent serum Don't expect too much moisturizing power Need to be careful not to get it in your eyes Has a slight pore-minimizing effect!
Cons1. It stings my eyes Since the formula is watery, I squeeze it out and apply it directly to my face. But I haven't developed the habit of avoiding the eye area, so it stings my eyes every time. The formula is watery, so it tends to drip down before I can apply it. It's better to pump a small amount first and then apply it quickly, rather than pumping directly onto the face. 2. Lid shape The lid is not round, but oval-shaped. I'm not sure why they designed it this way, but it's a bit annoying to twist the lid on.
