While using this, people around me have been saying my skin has improved and my face looks brighter. I have blemish-prone, oily skin with visible pores and quite a few acne scars, but this product has reduced my pores, significantly faded my scars, and caused no irritation to my blemishes. I usually use a vitamin toner, so initially I applied the toner first, followed by this serum daily. After a few days, I switched to applying the serum first, then the toner. My skin tingled a bit, but it was fine. I saw results almost immediately!
ConsThe scent wasn't to my liking. After application, there was a sticky feeling typical of vitamin serums.
TipDon't be stingy with the vitamin serum - apply it generously! Try to use it up within a month for the best results. If you're new to vitamin products, start by using it every few days rather than daily. Before full application, test it on your arm as instructed to check for any allergic reactions.

The lightweight texture also made it perfect for summer application. Scent: There is a distinctive fragrance that took some getting used to at first. I found it unfamiliar initially, but you'll adapt as you continue using it!
ConsRoom for improvement: If there's one drawback, it's that I didn't notice any dramatic effects compared to other products. However, I think there are pros and cons, as those with super sensitive skin can use it consistently without irritation. Highly recommended!
TipUsage tip: In my case, I applied the Goodal ampoule and then used a modeling mask. The combination of a modeling mask and a functional ampoule is a no-brainer - it absorbs better and is more effective!

So I was thrilled to have the chance to try a Vitamin C serum. I used it for exactly two weeks after receiving it. For the first week, I applied it every morning after toner, skipping it at night. To be safe, I avoided using any potentially irritating products like retinol. I made sure to apply sunscreen diligently during the day. After a week, my skin adapted well without any major blemishes, so I started using it as the first step in the morning, skipping toner. I still didn't use the serum at night but incorporated other active products. As instructed, I kept the serum refrigerated throughout use. While I didn't notice immediate dramatic effects due to the short usage period, I did see some fading of marks from initial breakouts. Typically, these marks linger, but the high Vitamin C concentration seemed to help. Vitamin C is prone to oxidation, which likely explains the short shelf life and small size. I appreciated that this serum contains other skin-repairing ingredients besides Vitamin C. I usually apply a separate niacinamide serum, so I was pleased to find it included here. Despite concerns about irritation from high Vitamin C content, I used it without major issues. However, I was careful not to combine it with other potentially irritating products. I'd recommend waiting for any wounds to heal before using this. On the first day, I overlooked a blemish and felt some stinging. So if you have active breakouts, wait until they've calmed down. Once healed, this product works wonders for fading marks quickly. While it claims to be non-sticky, I found it quite tacky. It's probably unrealistic to expect a high-concentration Vitamin C serum to feel light. The texture is very similar to a 20% Vitamin C serum I've used before. I recommend gently massaging it in rather than patting, which can emphasize the stickiness. You may need to adjust your routine, skipping some products or using less, to accommodate this serum.
ConsThe biggest drawback for me is the texture. It feels heavy on my skin and seems to increase oil production. Due to the texture, it's likely to cause pilling under makeup. If you wear makeup daily, it might be better to use this at night rather than in the morning.
TipAs someone with oily skin, I probably won't be able to use this in the height of summer. However, since it worked quite well for me, I'll likely use it again after summer when I want to focus on evening out my skin tone and treating dark spots.

The texture felt more like using an oil rather than an ampoule. It came with a dropper, which was convenient. I didn't find it irritating while using it. I mainly applied it to areas with acne scars, and I felt that the marks seemed to fade more compared to when I only used my regular toner pads. So I believe it was effective.
ConsThe disappointing part was that the initial freshness when opening the packaging box disappeared. When using it, there was a recurring scent reminiscent of processed meat or maple chicken sausage, which I personally disliked.
TipI use this ampoule together with Mediheal Madecassoside pads. I apply this ampoule and then place the toner pad on top like a mask before bed. I think they work well together.

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.ProsWhen I first opened the lid, I heard a sound like air escaping - it seems they've vacuum-sealed it to keep oxygen away from the contents. Given the nature of vitamin products, it's best to use this diligently after opening. The texture is quite fluid, making it perfect for mixing with ampoules or creams. This allows for gentle application of small amounts without irritation. A major plus of this product is that despite its high vitamin concentration, it causes less tingling. To be honest, it wasn't completely irritation-free. I wouldn't recommend using it on days when your skin feels super sensitive. However, applying a small amount every other day worked well without causing any irritation. As expected from its high concentration, the effects were impressive. My complexion, which I worried was looking dull, seemed to brighten up. I also noticed my blemishes fading faster. I think using a whole bottle consistently would definitely show results. Goodal is known for their vitamin products, and it seems they've done a great job with this high-concentration formula too. I recommend it!
ConsIt's a bit of a hassle having to store it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the product itself.

After getting used to it, I applied it as the first step in my skincare routine, letting it absorb well. With 27% vitamin C, it has a higher concentration compared to other products I've researched. I was cautious about potential irritation due to the high content, but after monitoring my skin's reaction, I found it didn't cause significant blemishes. Comparing before and after photos, while I'm not sure about the darker spots yet, the lighter areas of hyperpigmentation have brightened, making me want to continue using it!
ConsGiven the high vitamin C content, there's a slight tingling sensation, and it has a bit of a rich texture with a unique scent, which I found somewhat disappointing. However, since I apply a small amount in the evening, it works well for me.
TipI love that I can also apply it to my body, like elbows, heels, and neck. As a precaution, I wash the areas where I applied it in the evening during my morning routine. I believe I've read that it's incompatible with products containing retinol, and that it should be used with sunscreen during the day.

The higher concentration seems to have made my complexion noticeably brighter. The consistency is water-like, and the finish feels fresh yet slightly sticky. It absorbs well, which I really like!
ConsThe slightly sticky finish might not be everyone's cup of tea. As someone with dry skin, I prefer this over products that feel too light.
TipI primarily use it in the evening. When I want to use it in the morning, I make sure to completely block out the sun with sunscreen, a hat, and a mask.

Usually, vitamin ampoules can be quite irritating and make skin sensitive, but this product wasn't harsh on my skin at all, which I loved. I didn't experience any blemishes after using it! It seems to help improve skin texture. I only applied it at night, but I noticed my skin felt smoother. The scent is quite neutral, so I don't think many people will have strong opinions about it either way. As it's a high-concentration vitamin product, I felt it was effective for spot care. I had some pigmentation left from acne scars, and I noticed they became much lighter!
ConsIt oxidizes quickly, so it needs to be refrigerated, which can be a bit inconvenient. However, I understand this is unavoidable due to the nature of vitamin ampoules. The finish feels a bit rich, so those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy.
TipIt might pill if applied before makeup, so I only used it after cleansing in the evening. To prevent any potential irritation, I followed up with a barrier cream, which worked well (I used Aestura cream). Also, applying a sheet mask after the ampoule can enhance absorption, so it might be good to finish with a mask after application.

However, they can be irritating, so I usually test them on my neck or back of my hand for a few weeks first. This product is great because despite its high concentration of pure vitamin C, it doesn't cause burning or significant irritation. The green tangerine scent is lovely, and while it feels rich, it finishes clean. The pure vitamin C provides excellent brightening effects, noticeably improving my complexion. It's also helping to fade my acne scars, seemingly refining my skin texture.
ConsThose with sensitive, blemish-prone skin should be cautious. Due to the high concentration of pure vitamin C, there's a risk of significant irritation. It's best to use this when your skin is calm and not in a reactive state.
TipI apply pure vitamin C in the morning. If you usually only use sunscreen, try applying this vitamin C product before your sunscreen for enhanced effects. Remember, as it's a pure vitamin C product, its potency decreases over time, so use it quickly and always store it in the refrigerator (the label on this product is helpful for that reminder). As it contains vitamin C, an adjustment period is necessary. Even if it felt fine on your neck, start with small amounts on your face and gradually increase usage.
