I've already finished one bottle and repurchased it for continued use. •Application It feels like applying a thick, dense ointment After application, it has a brightening effect that makes your skin look radiant Similar to applying a brightening moisturizer •Absorption It doesn't give the sensation of being instantly absorbed. That's why I mainly apply it before bed •Effectiveness True to being an acne line product, it has been incredibly helpful. First, it greatly aided in reducing acne marks and scars. It's not like laser treatment where you see dramatic results overnight, but with consistent use, by the time you're finishing the bottle, you'll notice a significant reduction in visible marks. (Personally, I think it might be best for those with ongoing acne to use this after the skin has calmed down a bit, or in conjunction with products effective for active blemishes) •Review Among all the products I've tried so far, this has been the most effective. I recommend it for those whose skin is acting up, who find visiting a dermatologist burdensome, and who want consistent at-home care.
ConsThe thick texture might not suit those who prefer lighter products!

ConsIt's a bit thick, so you might want to layer another cream on top or mix it with something else for better application
TipI felt like it didn't blend well with my moisturizer, so I mixed it with a light emulsion instead for better absorption

Noticeable brightening effect I initially used it for skin soothing, but was surprised by its brightening effects. As someone who's tried many brightening products, I've never felt my skin actually becoming brighter until now. While it's not dramatically instant, I noticed my complexion gradually becoming more radiant. Since then, I've been consistently applying it to my neck as well. 2. Blemish-calming effect As someone with super sensitive, acne-prone skin who deals with blemishes daily, I can visually compare the effects every day. On nights when I applied this cream, my red and painful blemishes noticeably calmed down. It's amazing how it manages to tackle both brightening and soothing. 3. Tube packaging Those who get their nails done will totally relate - jar creams are so unhygienic, getting under your nails. That's why I always prefer tube packaging when available, and I absolutely love that this comes in a tube.
Cons1. Thick texture While it's improved since the pre-renewal version, those sensitive to texture might find it a bit heavy. It's quite rich, so I apply it thinking of it as a treatment, letting it sit on my skin. 2. Initial whiteness The cream is very white and thick, so right after application, it can leave a white cast like you've slathered on too much sunscreen. It's fine before bed or when you're at home, but it might look odd if you're going out. It does settle after a while, but I strongly advise against applying it before makeup. The thick texture also doesn't play well with makeup, so I definitely recommend using it before bed only! 3. Price point The price isn't exactly budget-friendly for the amount you get, so it can be a bit of a burden... I try to use it sparingly.
TipIf you find the texture too thick, try applying it right after a hydrating moisturizer. It makes the application a bit smoother. I even cut open the tube when I finished to use every last bit - there's surprisingly a lot left inside! Don't waste it, everyone make sure to check before throwing it away!
