Although it is a whitening serum, it does not feel dry, which I liked. I felt that it provided a level of moisture similar to a light moisturizing serum. - Fragrance It is relatively fragrance-free. Personally, I like cosmetics without fragrance, and this had a subtle, unobtrusive scent that did not bother me. - Ingredients It seems to be formulated with non-irritating ingredients. I did not experience any breakouts or redness on my skin while using this product. - Usage This serum absorbs quickly and leaves minimal residue. When applying sunscreen or foundation afterwards, it did not interfere much, making it easy to use even in a hurry in the morning. Since it is a whitening serum, I was able to see an effect of improving skin texture. - Product Packaging The dropper was not inconvenient, and the cap made it hygienic to use. The appropriate amount was easy to apply.
Cons- While I have not used it for a long time, I did not feel that my skin texture dramatically improved or my complexion became significantly brighter. However, as there was some improvement in skin texture, it is not completely devoid of whitening effects, and it seems that consistent use would be necessary. - In seasons like winter when the skin is dry, the moisture level may be insufficient. Afterwards, it seems necessary to supplement with a more moisturizing cream. - The price range is not exactly inexpensive.

Ingredients, Case I was pleased that there were no irritating or harmful ingredients, and that the case was made of vegan cosmetics. I was able to use it with confidence knowing it was a vegan product. 2. Fragrance I dislike artificial fragrances, and sometimes products without artificial fragrance can have a slightly strange smell, but this product was almost fragrance-free, so I was able to use it comfortably without any aversion. 3. Spreadability The formula is a flowing type, and it spreads well over a wide area.
Cons1. Dropper I don't really understand the need for the dropper cap. Also, the serum doesn't always come up well on the dropper, even when there is still a lot left. 2. Efficacy It's stated to have whitening and wrinkle-improving functions, but I haven't used it long enough to see noticeable effects, so it's actually difficult for me to evaluate this aspect.
TipThe absorption is not particularly fast, so I recommend applying it thinly. And since it's a functional serum rather than a moisturizing one, you should use a moisturizing product along with it.

Delivery and Packaging The delivery package was made of paper material with eco-friendly cushioning, which was surprising and felt good! The container is in a dropper form. 2. Texture and Fragrance The texture is moderately viscous, similar to other ampoules. The fragrance was a subtle herbal scent, not the kiwi scent I expected. As I don't like artificial fragrances, I was satisfied with this. 3. Skin Sensitivity and Irritation With the good ingredients, and since my skin is sensitive, I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation. 4. Product Effectiveness It may not be enough to use alone in the winter, but it is quite moisturizing. After using it for about a week, I could really feel my skin tone becoming brighter. I don't usually notice much brightening effect from whitening products, but the Kiwi Ampoule definitely made my skin look visibly brighter.
ConsThe transparent top lid can get stuck if it's not properly screwed onto the green lid. Other than that, there are no other significant downsides.

While the texture is thicker than a typical essence, it's not runny. There's no artificial fragrance, and I honestly couldn't detect a kiwi scent, which I like. The absorption is really fast. It sinks in without any greasy feeling, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. After using it for about a week, my complexion looks a bit brighter.
ConsThe moisturizing effect doesn't last long. As the weather gets drier and my skin becomes dehydrated, it feels tight. Since I have dehydrated skin, I need to apply a rich moisturizer generously.
TipTo use this product year-round, a hydrating lotion or cream is essential. You can selectively use a regular lotion with some oil content. Alternatively, you could start using the oilier product only during the seasons when your skin tends to get more oily. This way, your skin will stay moisturized without looking overly shiny.

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📌Smooth and Comfortable Usage The formula has a slightly viscous texture with a subtle greenish hue. It absorbs lightly and provides average moisturizing power. While not a dedicated moisturizer, it pairs well with other products. 📌Fragrance I prefer fragrance-free products, and while this one isn't completely odorless, it has a pleasant, slightly sweet herbal scent that dissipates without leaving any residue. 📌Efficacy Given the short review period, I couldn't fully experience the benefits, but I was pleased that despite the high niacinamide content, I didn't experience any irritation. 📌Vegan + PETA I was impressed that not only is the product cruelty-free, but even the shipping packaging was made of recyclable paper. It seems the brand has considered the broader social impact.
Cons📌Inconvenient Dropper The dropper doesn't always dispense the solution smoothly or fill up completely, making it a bit tricky to use. While not a major issue, the user experience is not as seamless as some other products on the market. I didn't deduct any stars for this, but if half-star ratings were available, I might have considered a slight reduction.
TipProducts with niacinamide concentrations above 4% may cause irritation for some skin types, so it's best to adjust the usage frequency based on your individual needs. However, studies have shown that long-term use of 5% niacinamide can help reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide itself is generally well-tolerated, but considering that kiwi is a fruit rich in vitamin C, it might be preferable to use this product at night rather than during the day. Ultimately, it's about finding what works best for your personal skin.

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.ProsThere was nothing unsatisfactory about the fragrance, texture, or feel of use. The texture color even matched the concept nicely and was quite pleasing to the eye...haha The artificial fragrance was also undetectable, so it felt gentle. The texture has a slight viscosity, but when applied, it becomes light and absorbs instantly. There is no oily feeling, only a moisturizing sensation, and the lightweight moisture seems especially suitable for oily skin types. The packaging was also eco-friendly!
ConsWhile light, it may not be sufficiently moisturizing, especially in the current weather, so a lotion or cream may be more necessary. After all, not many people just use a serum in the winter, so applying more as needed based on your skin type would be fine. The eco-friendly aspect is good, but I wonder why a plastic cap is needed on the dropper type. I think it would have been even better without it. It's just annoying to have to open this every time, and then also open the dropper lid, and then it feels like I'm just throwing away more plastic when I dispose of it. Other than the bottle complaints, there are no issues with the product texture itself.

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🍏 Fragrance-free I really dislike the scent of mom's makeup and am not particularly fond of strong floral fragrances, but this product has almost no scent. These fragrance-free products tend to have good ingredients too, haha. I've been using this morning and evening without any headaches. 🍏 Pale kiwi color. Glowing on the face, absorbs into the skin! The pale green color is quite noticeable for a basic skincare product, haha. When I gently pat and massage it onto my face, it first gives a dewy glow, then quickly absorbs into the skin without any stickiness or unpleasant residue. 🍏 No dryness even in the winter. I usually feel dryness inside during the winter and use special winter-use ampoules or moisturizers, but this time I used this product even on the most dry days. The result was satisfactory! I haven't felt any dryness at all. Since I need to write this review, I've been using this product after toner every morning and evening, and I haven't gone back to my usual products, haha. 🍏 Clean dropper, unique dropper cap My usual products always had issues with the dropper, so I would pour it into my palm instead. But this product's dropper works perfectly, dispensing the product smoothly. It does its job well and allows me to apply it directly to my face, preventing the wasteful palm-application. And usually the dropper handle sticks out, but this product has a transparent cap over the dropper, which seems very hygiene-conscious, haha. Despite my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation, redness, or dryness while using this product.
ConsThis product emphasizes skin clarity and brightening, but since I haven't used it for a long time, I'm not sure if I can see noticeable results in terms of skin texture and brightness. My skin is already relatively clear, so I may not be able to feel the effects as strongly.
TipThese days the weather is so dry and cold, so before bed I mix this product with an ampoule and apply it generously to my face. When I wake up in the morning, there's no dryness, and my face looks radiant and rejuvenated, haha.

It was moisturizing and pleasant to use.
ConsThere are no major downsides, but if I had to nitpick, I think it's a bit pricey.

I think it's even better that there's no scent. The serum has a bit of a thicker consistency, but it's not overly oily and feels nicely moisturizing. It applies smoothly without any greasy or heavy feeling, and it absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling plump and bouncy. It's not a heavy formula, so it's the perfect water-based serum that I find myself reaching for often! Since it's an Olive Young-approved product free of 20 harmful ingredients and vegan, it has a gentle, soothing feel when I apply it. The refreshing, lightweight texture also makes it a great base step before makeup. With vitamin C in the formula, I'm hoping to see some brightening effects as I continue using it. Dramatic results from skincare don't happen overnight, but I'm excited to see the long-term benefits.
ConsThe product itself doesn't have any major downsides, but the price does feel a bit on the higher side.

As it's a product without artificial fragrances, there's also no allergic reaction -It seems to have an exfoliating effect - when I use it morning and night, my skin feels silky smooth the next day -I had some minor cuts from work, and whenever I cleansed or toned, my hands would sting and hurt, but this doesn't cause any pain at all... It's so amazing -A vegan product that balances mildness and anti-aging effects! The whitening and wrinkle-reducing effects may only be noticeable after finishing a full bottle, but I trust the ingredients will deliver -It applies lightly on the skin and doesn't feel heavy or sticky, so I keep reaching for it!!
Cons-I wish it came in a larger size. I use it up so quickly, and that makes me sad ㅠㅠ
