Texture: It has a consistency that's thicker than a typical moisturizer but thinner than a nourishing cream. The texture is great, allowing it to absorb well into the skin! Packaging: There's a small opening at the front, making it convenient to use.
ConsI'm not sure about its effectiveness on dark spots and blemishes. If you apply too much, it might feel a bit rich. Unfortunately, I experienced some minor skin irritation.

Personally, I'm not a fan of products that require a spatula. They're a hassle to use and get exposed to air too often. The scent wasn't overwhelming for me, which was great. But the best part? After about a week of use, my boyfriend asked if I'd slept well because my complexion looked brighter! I hadn't really noticed since I see my face every day, but it was the first time he'd said something like that, so that made me really happy.
ConsThe downside for me was that it felt a bit too rich. As someone with oily skin, I'm not keen on looking shiny. After applying, it seemed to leave a bit of a glossy finish, so I only use it when I'm alone.
TipSince I have oily skin, I apply it all over, including my neck, before bed. When I'm doing my makeup, I focus on applying it just to my apple zones where I have dark spots!

First off, I love that it's in a tube. Jar packaging is less hygienic and less convenient compared to tubes. Among tube types, metal ones tend to crease badly with use and the printing on the outside peels off, making them uncomfortable to use. But this soft, elastic PP tube is great to use. And the absorption! It's fantastic. It has the best texture of all the cosmetics I use... It applies silky smooth, incredibly soft, and moisturizing. Somewhere between an emulsion and a cream? And since it's not an oil-heavy product, it doesn't feel heavy or suffocating. Because it absorbs so well, it's great to apply anytime. I used it morning, afternoon, and before bed without any issues. It might pill or slide under makeup, but I'm not sure if it's specifically because of this product (I have combination-dry skin, so I use multiple products...). The best part? It's effective in improving blemishes! Usually, when I get small wounds from squeezing or scratching my face, they often leave marks that don't fade. But while using this product, I didn't experience the tragedy of marks becoming permanent stains. They still discolor a bit, but instead of darkening, they stay light and gradually fade away! Just by preventing potential new blemishes, this friend has done its job. But wait? Comparing photos, I can see my blemishes have lightened! To the naked eye, I wasn't sure if they had lightened or if it was just different lighting, but they have indeed brightened and faded! Applause! For those who are skeptical, I've brought before and after photos! They're in order, showing the same area before and after! Of course, they don't disappear in a short time (how long does it take for blemishes to form anyway...?). But even within the Hwahae Testers review period of less than a month, they've lightened, right? I always use products until the very end before writing my Hwahae Testers reviews! I'm happy to see results from consistently applying it every day since receiving the product! I currently use two products for blemish improvement (I keep using the other one because I know it works), and I think using them together created a synergy effect. While some fading might be due to blemishes appearing rapidly in summer and slowly fading in winter, I feel this brightening moisturizer has worked hard to achieve this level of lightening! Of course, individual results may vary. I've tried many products claimed to be good for blemishes but often didn't see results. However, I feel this is definitely worth trying (since it worked for me)!
ConsWhile using this, I occasionally got small pimples! They disappeared quickly though. This point may vary for individuals, so keep that in mind. Other than that... It's not a major drawback for a blemish improvement product, but if you apply only this and then a mineral sunscreen on top, it can pill or emphasize dead skin cells. Especially in winter! A moisturizing product is a must to use with it! And while it's not greasy, it does have an oily feel... I should say, it makes your face look shiny. It also feels a bit sticky on the pillow when sleeping. But among the blemish improvement products I've tried, ones that don't do this are rare, so some people might not mind this.
TipNothing specific to add, I just carried it around and applied it. The portability is really good. I also applied it during daily activities when my skin felt dry.

Just when I needed it most, I was lucky enough to be selected as a Hwahae Tester and got to try this product. I used it for about 10 days, applying it carefully every night before bed. Personally, I found the texture similar to a regular emulsion, so I had no issues with it. Since it's winter and my face was dry, I appreciated the rich, moisturizing feel. I didn't notice any strong scent, which was fine by me, and I liked that the tube opening was small, making it easy to control the amount. After 10 days of use, while there wasn't a dramatic change, I did notice a slight lightening of my dark spots. The first photo shows my skin before use, and the second one was taken just now - you can see a subtle difference. To be honest, expecting a huge transformation from a skincare product rather than a clinical treatment might be asking too much. However, I'm hopeful that with consistent use, I'll see more improvement over time. I'll continue using the remaining product diligently!
ConsWhile I have sensitive skin, I'm not particularly sensitive in nature, so I found the product comfortable to use and didn't experience any blemishes at all! However, given its rich texture, those with very oily skin might find it a bit heavy.

However, as I've entered my mid-30s, while still oily, my cheeks can get a bit dry. I'm more concerned about pores than pigmentation or freckles, though I do have some dark spots on my face (uneven complexion when bare-faced). After using the Glutathica Dark Spot Cream: I started applying it the day I received it, taking before photos. The package claims results in 5 days of consistent use, so I applied it morning and night. Results: While there wasn't a dramatic change, comparing before and after photos shows some improvement. My complexion looks brighter and less patchy. Repurchase intention: I'm currently using this alongside an essence that helps brighten and clear my skin (N'cific Origin Serum). If they work well together and I see more improvement after finishing the product, I'd consider repurchasing. However, there are some drawbacks mentioned below.
ConsIt can feel a bit heavy for oily skin types. By evening, after applying in the morning, it feels thick and like there's excess oil on my face. However, it's not unbearably bothersome. I could use it in winter, but summer might be challenging.
TipAs mentioned above, using this cream in conjunction with a mist or serum that's good for brightening and tackling dark spots seems to enhance its effectiveness. It appears that consistent use morning and evening is necessary for optimal results.

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.ProsHere's my review after using it for about 13 days: ❥ Texture It has a slight richness and feels like a hydrating cream that spreads smoothly while having a nice, bouncy texture. ❥ Usage Diary Days 1-2: Applied all over at night only. It had an instant brightening effect, which made me wonder if it was just a quick fix. However, I woke up looking radiant. Day 3: Used in this order: toner > moisturizer > this product > sunscreen > BB cream. Blemishes appeared, so I decided to use it only at night. Days 4-13: Applied in this order: toner > moisturizer > spot treatment on scars and areas with redness. It definitely lightened my skin. It's also effective for redness. I tend to run hot, and my redness gets worse during PMS. But using this routine every evening significantly reduced the redness. ❥ Gentleness Despite having sensitive and slightly dry skin, this product worked well for me. I usually can't tolerate oil-based products and stick to mineral sunscreens and light creams. Even though this has a slight richness, it didn't cause any itching or discomfort. It suited my skin well. However, when I used it with a moisturizing BB cream, the product's richness seemed to clog my pores and cause blemishes. So I'd recommend avoiding rich products when using this with makeup. ❥ Overall Great ingredients. The narrow tube opening allows for precise application. Price is reasonable (if used as a spot treatment). Not recommended for all-over application as it would be used up quickly. While it's smooth, the bouncy texture doesn't spread thinly. Personally, I find this product much better than scar ointments. You can see visible changes quickly.
ConsEither due to pore-clogging ingredients or its richness, it caused some blemishes. I suspect it's because I was using a moisturizing BB cream, which made my skin too rich. When I only applied it at night before bed, there were no issues. (Even when used with other products) The fragrance was common, but the product's unique scent was quite strong and couldn't be masked. It smelled like a mix of ammonia and fragrance. Fortunately, the scent dissipates quickly.
TipInstead of applying it all over, it works great as a spot treatment on pigmented areas, just like a scar ointment! You can see quick results this way. As mentioned in the cons, I recommend only applying it before bed.

It applies smoothly without feeling suffocating. It absorbs well into the skin without sitting on top, which I really liked! Feel✨ My skin stayed hydrated for a long time without drying out quickly. It didn't make my face overly shiny, and best of all, it wasn't sticky at all, which I absolutely loved!! Scent✨ There is a slight fragrance, but it's not overpowering, so it was fine for me~!
ConsThe disappointing part was that I didn't see much effect on my dark spots, which was a letdown. For those with extremely oily skin, it might feel a bit too rich.
TipIt's great to apply this all over after your toner and emulsion, then pat an extra layer on areas with dark spots, freckles, or hyperpigmentation! I also recommend massaging it into your neck for added benefits!

I love that it's not overly rich, though. It has a texture similar to an emulsion, so it's easy to apply without feeling heavy. There's no sensation of it sitting on top of the skin! Usage period: I've been using it for about 6 days. While I haven't noticed any dramatic effects yet, I can definitely feel my skin becoming more hydrated! I'll need to use it for about 2 weeks before leaving a more comprehensive review. Scent: Fragrance is one of the most important factors for me, and I'm pleased to say there's no artificial scent at all. It just has that classic emulsion feel, which I really appreciate. Packaging: The compact size makes it perfect for travel. It would be great to pack for a trip!
ConsIt might be a bit too rich for those with very oily skin. I'd recommend adjusting the amount you pump out when using it.

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.ProsIt absorbs well and has a rich texture without feeling heavy, making it perfect for use during these dry and cold days without any burden. I have sensitive skin that easily develops contact dermatitis or blemishes if a product doesn't suit me, but I had absolutely no issues with this one. After using it for more than 3 days, I noticed my dark spots gradually fading, and wow, the effects are even more noticeable in photos! I've been wondering how to manage things like melasma without the hassle of frequent dermatologist visits, and I feel like I've stumbled upon a great product by chance. I'd love to gift this to my parents too!
ConsFor my oily skin, it felt a bit rich, though there were no other issues. However, the scent... I'm not sure how to describe it, but the fragrance is really off-putting. It's almost nauseating? That aspect is quite disappointing.
TipA small amount is sufficient for good coverage, and it seems to work even better if you gently massage it into problem areas multiple times!

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.ProsReview after 2 weeks of use ✅ Packaging The tube-shaped container fits perfectly in one hand, taking up minimal space and allowing for easy control of the amount dispensed. ✅ Texture (Application) The consistency is like an ointment - neither too thick nor too runny. It spreads easily, so you only need a small amount for effective coverage. ✅ Sensitivity (Blemishes) Despite having skin so sensitive that even touching my face can cause immediate blemishes, I found the Glutathica Dark Spot Cream to be non-irritating and comfortable to use. However, those with combination or oily skin might find it a bit rich. That said, in the dry, skin-irritating winter months, this level of richness actually acts as a protective barrier, helping to soothe dead skin cells caused by dryness. ✅ Effectiveness Personally, I believe any skincare product needs 3-6 months of consistent use to show real results, so I didn't expect to see effects within a month. Surprisingly, about a week after I started using it, I could visibly see improvements not only in recent, faint dark spots but also in older, stubborn blemishes. Though slow, the progress was noticeable. Considering it hasn't even been a month, I think this product is impressively effective. Moreover, it contains both brightening ingredients and Madecassoside with moisturizing components. When I wake up the next day, my complexion looks more even and clear than the day before, and my skin feels hydrated and soft until morning. ⭕ Overall Despite using it only once a day instead of the recommended twice (due to busy mornings and sun exposure concerns), I'm seeing results faster than expected. I'm definitely considering repurchasing with my own money once I finish this one. Of course, everyone's skin is different, but if you need a gentle, daily-use cream for dark spots and blemishes, I highly recommend giving this a try!
Cons🤔 Scent Fragrance is added at the end, but it has an old-fashioned smell that I can't understand why they included... Moreover, the scent is quite strong, so it might be polarizing. Honestly, I think they could have left this out. 🤔 Richness I expected some richness since it's a cream, but it feels more like an oily texture rather than just rich. Controlling the amount is crucial!
TipIt's fine to apply it all over your face. However, if you have oily or combination skin, or if your skincare routine involves more than 3 steps (e.g., toner-serum-emulsion-...), you might find it heavy. In that case, I recommend applying a small amount only to problem areas.
