Since it's said to be compatible with Vitamin C, I've been applying this after The Ordinary White Gen Serum without any issues.

It's a bit concerning that it comes without a box and there's no seal on the lid. Also, after pumping the product a few times, you might notice some dried-up residue around the nozzle. You'll need to wipe it clean with a tissue occasionally.

It's gentle and fragrance-free, making it suitable for everyone. I've been using this along with a Vitamin C product, and my face has definitely brightened up. The texture is like a light oil that absorbs well without feeling sticky. While it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause, my overall complexion seems to have a nice glow now. Given its affordable price point, it's worth giving it a try.

I don't have any issues with irritation or incompatibility. There's nothing disappointing about it!

I started using this after getting a recommendation for some spots that I couldn't tell if they were freckles or dark patches. I'm mixing it with Manyo Factory ampoule, niacinamide serum, and tranexamic acid. It's definitely lightening the spots, and my skin is starting to get that Inner Glow. It's also keeping my skin hydrated, significantly reducing dryness! I'll definitely repurchase when I run out!

I'm disappointed that I used it up so quickly. I wish they would release a larger size.

The hydration is excellent and I'm satisfied with the ingredients. It seems to brighten my complexion.

I wish I could give this product zero stars. I didn't experience a single benefit from using it. I heard products with tranexamic acid were effective, so I thought I'd start with an affordable option from Coupang. But wow... my chin turned into a beehive of blemishes. I'm just waiting for the acne to come to a head and burst. My chin is in pain from all the breakouts. It's so awful, I want to file a complaint. It's rare for my face to react this badly right after using a product, you know? I thought this only happened to other people, but now I'm furious. The day after applying it, my nose felt oddly painful, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw pus had formed. Not only did it cause breakouts, but the pain that came with it makes this product the absolute worst. Ingredient-wise, there weren't any red flags like shea butter that oily skin should avoid, but I absolutely cannot recommend this to anyone.

Is it possible to give zero stars...? The only positive thing I can say is that it's relatively inexpensive.

My daily routine includes applying this followed by a vitamin gel pad. It's great for a double brightening effect and enhances absorption.

The pump packaging tends to let the product drip down the sides during use.

This product works wonders for freckles and dark spots! I've been using it for a month, and I've noticed a significant lightening effect. The photos show before use, after use, and the product itself in that order.

I've been applying it morning and evening. Due to school, I had a lot of blemishes on my left cheekbone, and after giving birth, I developed melasma. I had given up on my skin until last year when I started paying attention to skincare again.

I discovered this product in January and have been using it since. I apply my regular serum first, then target this product specifically on areas with blemishes. After nearly a month of use, I can see that my blemishes have slightly faded. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

The value for money is incredible, especially considering the high-quality ingredients.

The slight tingling sensation is a concern, and those with delicate and super sensitive skin should be careful. For me, it caused white dead skin cells to appear around my lips, so I've stopped applying it all over my face and now only use it on areas with dark spots.

It's not overly oily, just has a slight viscosity. When I apply it all over my face, I noticed some blemishes appearing around my sensitive lip area. So lately, I've been applying it only on areas with dark spots. As for effectiveness, I've used it for a week, but I think I need to use it longer to see results.

It might be good to use this in combination with a tranexamic acid cream.

It's hard to expect quick results, and since it has an oil-like consistency, it might be a bit challenging to use in summer.

I had some small dark spots, so I used a melatonin cream for two months. It was definitely effective, but I heard it wasn't great for health, so I switched to this product. It's said to have similar effects, and while I feel it's about 1/2 or 1/3 as effective, my spots had already faded a bit, so I'm using this for maintenance. There's also a 6% version of this cream, so I apply the serum first and then the cream on top. At first, I was generous with the amount and applied it all over my face, which caused some blemishes, so now I just use it as a spot treatment. It's incredibly affordable, somewhat effective, non-irritating, and the customer service is great.

While I appreciate the pump dispenser, it's a bit disappointing that it's difficult to control the amount precisely.

I consider this the best value for money among brightening products. They've used great ingredients, it absorbs well, and has good application.

There's a slight irritation. My nose is sensitive and it gets a bit red.

This product contains all the ingredients I love for brightening - niacinamide, tranexamic acid, glutathione... It's an incredible combination. The way it absorbs is absolutely amazing too.

Dermafactory products generally have too little product. The absorption? Well, that's debatable. I went through a whole bottle in a month... For someone like me who slathers on skincare products, we absolutely need a larger size.

I wish it had just 13% tranexamic acid, but... The formulation focusing entirely on brightening ingredients is great. It has a watery texture, like gel dissolved in water, so when you apply a lot, it's not like it absorbs super well. It's a great value-for-money item, so I don't have any particular complaints. It's on the gentle side, so it works for all skin types.

Being only 30ml, I feel like I'll use it up quickly. I wish they'd offer larger sizes like 50ml or 100ml.

Also, after applying this vitamin serum, not only does it leave a bit of oiliness, but it also imparts quite a glow. Personally, I find the glow a bit excessive, so I often use blotting paper to reduce both the oiliness and the intense glow afterwards.

While it's not easily visible in photos, this serum has a subtle yellow tint. The texture is somewhere between a water and an essence - light yet hydrating. The pump dispenser makes it convenient to use.

Initially, I was considering a niacinamide product, but I ended up purchasing this one as it contains niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and glutathione, which I thought might be more effective for blemishes.

I've been using it for a month now, and while I haven't seen dramatic results, I do notice that some of my larger blemishes seem slightly faded. The formula feels like a hydrating serum, causing no irritation, and there's no noticeable scent.
