Pros

This is truly my acne scar-removing product that I can see with my own eyes, so this is a real whitening item that I will continue to use. I need to use other products consistently, but this one shows effects in the short term.

Cons

It wears out too quickly when used intensively, so please provide the large-capacity version.

Pros

▪️My honest review after purchasing with my own money I bought this to address concerns with pores and dark spots, and I've been using it morning and evening! After using it for over a week, I feel like my complexion has improved ever so slightly. It doesn't run when dispensed onto the back of your hand, so you can apply it directly to your face. I pump it straight onto my face, and it's convenient because you can control the amount based on how hard you pump. As you slowly let it absorb, you'll notice a natural glow emerging. While it's hard to tell about dark spots or blemishes after just a week of use, I think I'll need to use the entire bottle to really see. But I'm already quite satisfied with the improvement in my skin tone alone :)

Cons

I'm not the type to experience blemishes from cosmetics, so I don't have any complaints!

Tip

It might be common knowledge, but I make sure the product absorbs as much as possible by patting it in a lot. Once it feels completely absorbed, I move on to the next step in my routine!

Pros

I started with just the pads from this line, but the results were so good that I decided to add the serum too. Now it's even better! I've always been concerned about dark spots around my eyes, but with consistent use, I can feel them gradually fading. As someone with super sensitive skin, I prioritize gentle products over whitening effects, but this doesn't cause any blemishes, absorbs well, and works great!

Cons

I can't think of any downsides! I'm really enjoying using this product.

Tip

Try using it together with the pads from the same line.

Review under verification

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

1. The skin-brightening active ingredients effectively help achieve a clear and even complexion! 2. Not only does it reduce blemishes, but it also takes care of enlarged pores, giving the skin a smoother texture. 3. Its hydrating, watery formula absorbs quickly and finishes with a fresh, non-sticky feel, making it perfect for morning use. With consistent application, you'll notice an overall brighter complexion and more refined skin!

Cons

1. The product has a distinct scent typical of brightening ingredients, so those sensitive to fragrances should be cautious. 2. Rather than immediate results, you need to use it consistently for at least two weeks to see improvements in blemish reduction and brightening effects. 3. It may cause a slight tingling sensation on sensitive skin, so those with delicate skin may need an adjustment period. 4. Without using sunscreen alongside this product, its effectiveness may be reduced, or it could even lead to hyperpigmentation.

Tip

1. After applying the serum, gently press it into your skin using the warmth of your palms for better absorption! 2. For areas with noticeable blemishes, apply an extra layer for targeted treatment. 3. Using it together with a brightening moisturizer will amplify the tone-evening effect, showing more noticeable changes!

Pros

I had high hopes for this product's effectiveness on brightening, pores, and blemishes, and I'm thrilled it delivers on all fronts without causing any irritation! Usually, potent products make the sensitive skin around my nose turn red immediately, but not this one! When I apply it generously before bed, my skin looks fantastic the next day, and my makeup goes on smoothly. While I haven't noticed a dramatic fading of dark spots yet, many people have commented that my complexion looks healthier overall! It absorbs well, making it perfect for daily use without any worries.

Cons

While it's great for daily use, if I had to nitpick, I'd say the price might be a bit steep...

Pros

I've tried various products to improve my complexion and blemishes, but this serum was particularly satisfying! Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly without any stickiness, making it comfortable to use both morning and night. With consistent use, I noticed my skin becoming clearer overall! The areas around my pores seem more refined, and my skin texture has become smoother, allowing makeup to apply better. The scent isn't overpowering, making it suitable for sensitive skin and can be used without irritation. It's the perfect product for daily care of blemishes and pores!

Cons

If I had to point out a downside, the pump bottle makes it a bit difficult to use up all the product. Sometimes it's challenging to control the amount dispensed, and on days when my skin feels dry, the hydration might feel slightly insufficient depending on your skin condition.

Tip

My personal tip is to prep the skin with toner before applying the serum, then gently press it into the skin with your palms. Following up immediately with a moisturizer helps lock in hydration and results in noticeably clearer skin the next day! On days when my complexion looks dull, I found layering the serum in two thin applications to be more effective.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

Texture: It has the perfect serum consistency you'd expect - it doesn't run and spreads evenly. Application: When applied to the back of the hand, it goes on smoothly in a thin layer. Effectiveness: While it's marketed as a brightening serum, I didn't particularly notice any skin-brightening effects. However, it significantly reduced skin texture issues, so I'd recommend it to those concerned about uneven skin texture!

Cons

Blemishes: I'm the type whose skin breaks out immediately if a serum feels too oily. After applying this product, there was a slight stickiness and oiliness. If I didn't control the amount carefully, I'd always wake up with blemishes the next day. (However, it was fine when I applied a thin layer after testing the amount on the back of my hand.)

Tip

Overall assessment: I'd recommend this to those who can tolerate a bit of stickiness and are concerned about facial skin texture issues. Additionally, if you have oily skin that's prone to breakouts, consider carefully and make sure to apply a very thin layer with controlled amounts.
