There's no irritation or anything, so I don't really have any complaints!

I bought this during the Tibet Market sale, and I can definitely say that my blemish marks have faded significantly since I started using it! It seems to be quite effective.
The texture is like a hydrating ampoule, which makes it easy and comfortable to apply. I highly recommend it!

Best for evening use / Sunscreen is a must if used in the morning

- As it's a derivative, you should use it consistently for long-term benefits rather than expecting dramatic short-term results. While it's gentle on the skin, the effects might not be as pronounced.
- When applying in the morning, be sure to pay extra attention to sun protection.

- If you purchase the 50ml size, assuming you use 4 pumps once a day, it should last about 2-3 months.
- It's not pure vitamin serum but a derivative, so it's gentle and can be applied without worry of irritation.
- The balance between hydration and richness is excellent. It's perfect for layering with toner, ampoule, and moisturizer.

I'm on my second bottle, but I haven't noticed much improvement in hyperpigmentation. However, since it contains derivatives, I think it might still be decent for antioxidant protection.

The application, ingredients, and overall feel are all great. The pump dispenser is hygienic, and it glides on like a hydrating serum without any unnecessary oiliness.

Before using this product, I was already using Lidl Shot and retinol. While I can't guarantee that the brightening effects are solely due to this product, I noticed that my hyperpigmentation faded more quickly after incorporating it into my routine. There seems to be a definite synergistic effect. I also made sure to take oral vitamin C supplements regularly. Since this isn't a product specifically designed for hydration, I always follow up with a moisturizing cream after applying it.

I don't have any complaints about the product itself. However, I should note that my opinion might lack objectivity since I haven't tried many vitamin C cosmetics.

I used this product for about 3 months, from February to early May, only in the evenings. Previously, I avoided vitamin C products due to their sticky texture, slow absorption, and feeling like they clogged my pores. However, in the past 1-2 years, I experienced more blemishes than usual and developed hyperpigmentation, so I decided to try this product known for being less sticky. While it still has some stickiness when applied, it absorbs much more quickly and feels lighter than other vitamin C products, which is why I've been using it consistently. After applying this product, I can layer other emulsions or creams without any discomfort. Although it uses a vitamin C derivative rather than pure vitamin C, which likely contributes to its characteristics, it's exactly what I've been looking for. I've never experienced any irritation with this product, and I feel like my hyperpigmentation has significantly faded. I plan to repurchase.

Difficult to notice visible effects
As someone with naturally fair skin, I couldn't really tell if my complexion became brighter. More importantly, I didn't notice much improvement in fading freckles and other dark spots, which was my main concern.

Safe for sensitive and blemish-prone skin
As expected from Unique, the gentle ingredients make it suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin without causing concern. I experienced almost no irritation, and it absorbs quickly without any stickiness, making it perfect as a nightly serum in your daily routine.

Improved skin texture
While I'm not sure if my dark spots have faded, perhaps due to its serum-type Vitamin C formula, my skin texture feels softer than before I started using it.

After application, some dark residue appears on the skin and it tends to be a bit irritating.

I've been using it for 5 days since purchase. The way it absorbs and applies is pretty good.

There's nothing to dislike about this product. The packaging is clean and nice, and I'm really satisfied with how well it works.

I bought this from Tidong's market and I love it! The scent is slightly refreshing, and I actually noticed my complexion brightening. It absorbs well too. For those with super sensitive skin who struggle with pure Vitamin C, this is a great option! Oh, and for those with dry skin, you might want to use a hydrating serum along with this. I felt like it might be a bit drying on its own.

The price is a bit disappointing... It's only affordable when purchased from duty-free shops or during special market events.

As someone with oily skin, I find this leaves my face feeling fresh without causing any blemishes. I've tried various vitamin C serums, but this one has become my holy grail!

The price seems a bit high. If I didn't have blemish marks on my skin, I probably wouldn't have bought it.

I finished the entire bottle! For the first 3 weeks, I used it almost every day without skipping, and from the 4th week, I used it occasionally. It lasted about a month and a half.

Skin condition:
I usually get 1-2 pustular blemishes, sometimes 3-4, and their marks remained on my cheeks. Plus, my complexion is uneven due to redness that appears when my face heats up or when exposed to wind.

Effect on blemish marks: 👍
I bought this serum because it claimed to help fade blemish marks without irritation.

After a week, I didn't see noticeable results, so I thought, 'Well, what did I expect from a cosmetic product?' But I kept using it consistently since I'd already bought it.
Around weeks 3-4, I suddenly realized, 'Oh, the marks have faded!' My skin tone had visibly evened out.

Now that I've finished the bottle, while the marks haven't completely disappeared, my skin looks cleaner overall. A close friend even commented, 'Your skin looks better somehow!'

Application:
It applies like a lightweight serum with a slightly firm finish, but doesn't feel sticky or cause sunscreen to pill. As someone with oily skin, I found the hydration adequate, but it might be too light for dry skin types in winter.

Gentle daily brightening serum:
Unlike vitamin products that can sting or are difficult to use during the day due to sun sensitivity, and require careful application to allow skin to adapt, this serum was comfortable to use without irritation. I used it easily both day and night.

It's difficult to achieve significant brightening effects comparable to pure vitamin C ampoules

A comfortable blemish serum that's easy to apply, absorbs well, and doesn't cause irritation

To sum it up in one line:
It's good for applying lightly as the first skincare step, but it's hard to see outstanding brightening effects.

The photos show: right cheek before use - right cheek after a week of use, left cheek before use - left cheek after a week of use, in that order!

Please note that skin tone may appear different as the photos were taken under artificial lighting.

I'm not a fan of products that leave residue on the skin, and this one doesn't seem to absorb completely. It felt like there was a slight film left on the surface.

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry U-zone, showing significant differences between the two areas. My nose has quite a few pores, and my cheeks have many freckles!

Texture - It has a runny consistency, like a flowing liquid, allowing you to spread a small amount over a wide area!

Scent - It's fragrance-free, so it should be suitable for everyone regardless of scent preferences.

Packaging - The yellow container is super cute, and the pump makes it convenient to use!

Pre-makeup skincare - It's lightweight, so you can apply it comfortably before makeup. However, those with dry skin might find it insufficient when used alone.

Brightening effect - This review is after using it as the first step in my skincare routine, morning and night, for a week! While a week of use didn't noticeably fade my freckles, I felt my overall complexion became about one shade brighter. However, the effect wasn't particularly dramatic.
