The moisturizing application feels nice.
ConsIt triggered an explosion of inflammatory acne. Just like with other brightening moisturizers, this one also caused a breakout of inflamed blemishes (same as Cosrx and Goodal = acne eruption). Plus, the scent is way too strong. They claim the ingredients are good, but I'm skeptical about how 'good' the formula really is when it contains silicones that make my acne flare up, even if there are a few beneficial ingredients thrown in. To make matters worse, among the three acne-triggering products I've tried, this one has the poorest skin finish and longevity. If it's going to cause breakouts, it should at least provide flawless coverage... The shipping was also frustratingly slow. Definitely not recommended.

Application: Unlike some brightening moisturizers that can feel thick and heavy, this one glides on smoothly! It's perfect for applying a small amount with ease. Feel on skin: There's no stickiness, and it feels moisturizing, making it ideal as a light final step in your skincare routine! Brightening effect: Absolutely no white cast! With a small amount, you get a natural brightening effect, and if you use a bit more, you'll see a more noticeable difference in your complexion. It's great as a makeup base too! I used to use a pricier base, but I'm switching to this one. Ingredients: While I don't have major blemishes or super sensitive skin, it's made with gentle, non-irritating ingredients. It's even suitable for pregnant women, which is a huge plus! The quality of ingredients is impressive for the price. Overall: It's perfect for daily use as a light final skincare step, replacing sunscreen with a brightening effect. On full-makeup days, it works great as a base too, making it incredibly versatile!
ConsMake sure to shake it well before use! When I first received it, there was a paper inside saying to shake it, but it was flipped over so I didn't see it. I squeezed it without shaking and it went everywhere! You really need to shake it thoroughly before use.
TipApplying small amounts and patting it in helps achieve a natural brightening effect. Also, I find that using your hands to apply it, rather than tools, results in a more natural-looking glow.

The high-quality ingredients also gave me a sense of confidence in my skincare routine.
ConsThe downside was that when I applied this brightening moisturizer after my other skincare products, it tended to pill a bit. Since this cream doesn't provide sun protection, I had to apply sunscreen on top, which made my face feel heavy and uncomfortable. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup usually, adding this brightening moisturizer felt like an extra step in my routine that I'm not sure is necessary. I think a brightening product with built-in sun protection would be more practical.
TipIn my experience, due to the pilling issue, it's more effective to use this product for touch-ups in the afternoon rather than applying it over my full morning skincare routine.

That's why I've always been particular about evening my skin tone when applying makeup. I'm grateful for this opportunity to try this product! The texture is moisturizing and adheres well to the skin. After application, it feels like it sets to a matte finish. If your base skincare is too light, it might feel a bit tight. I usually use hydrating products like Hwa Jal Muk Emulsion in my skincare routine, so even with my combination dehydrated skin, I didn't experience any flaking or caking. These days, my routine is simple: sunscreen, this brightening moisturizer, and a thin layer of BB cream only on areas with redness. I commute to work with just this. It definitely brightens more than other products I've tried. At first, I thought, 'Whoa, is this too white?' But after 30 minutes to an hour, it looks more natural. I even use it for touch-ups at work, as my skin tends to darken throughout the day. When touching up, there's no pilling or flaking, probably due to its moisturizing formula. Despite my acne-prone skin, this product felt gentle. I heard it contains 14 types of peptides - maybe that's why? Using this didn't cause any breakouts.
ConsThe strong chemical scent makes me worry if it might be harmful to my skin.
TipI recommend starting with a small amount for one thin layer, then adding another light layer only on areas where you want more brightening. This prevents over-whitening from the start.

It's perfect for the neck area, with just the right amount of brightening and staying power! It's also wonderfully hydrating when used as a makeup base. The brightening effect is actually more noticeable than what's shown in the photos.
ConsThe scent is overwhelmingly floral, like a strong cosmetic fragrance that hits you right away, which I didn't like. When applied alone, after a while it tends to settle into fine lines quite noticeably, and it also leaves a white cast along the hairline.
TipApply in this order: skincare, sunscreen, brightening moisturizer, then foundation or cushion. Be careful to avoid the hairline area when applying.

With just one layer, it seems to naturally brighten and even out the skin tone! &Scent It contains fragrance, so there is a scent. While it's not unpleasant, it does seem a bit strong! It's not overwhelming, but those with sensitive noses might not be fans. &Benefits It's great that this brightening moisturizer also contains peptides! I've heard peptides are an expensive ingredient. This could be perfect for those concerned about wrinkles and skin elasticity.
ConsMy skin isn't particularly sensitive, so I didn't experience any blemishes and found it gentle! Apart from the strong scent, it's good (the scent isn't unpleasant though!).

It definitely brightens my complexion, but in a very natural way! Even my friend who's great at makeup noticed and asked where I got it, saying it's really good. My skin has been super sensitive lately, but I haven't had any blemishes or reactions! Usually, when I use products that don't suit me, I get small pimples, but this one is fine! What's more, it's labeled as a functional cosmetic for brightening and anti-wrinkle effects. I'm not sure how effective it is yet, but I hope it works well!
ConsI'm so satisfied with this product that I can't think of any downsides yet. If I notice any areas for improvement as I continue using it, I'll update my review!

You really need to apply just a tiny amount! At first, I didn't know and used my usual amount, which made it feel like it was sitting on top of my skin. But when I followed the instructions and used a pea-sized amount, it applied naturally and smoothly. It doesn't make you look too bright, and it applies evenly. Even if you layer it, it feels light. Since it's a brightening moisturizer, it doesn't provide coverage. It gives a feeling of refining your skin texture! I haven't tried heavy makeup yet, so I'll need to use it more to comment on its coverage, but the way it absorbs is really great. As it's a product that also provides skincare benefits, it applies smoothly like an emulsion or a light cream. It doesn't irritate the skin, and there's hardly any breakdown even after some time. After application, it seems to make the skin feel powdery, so it might be good for those with combination dehydrated skin or oily skin!
ConsWhen I first tried to use it, the pump didn't work well, and I thought it was defective. You really have to keep pressing for the product to come out, and the pumping is a bit disappointing every time you use it. The scent does fade, but it has an alcohol-like smell that might be hit or miss for some people.

My skin is so sensitive that if I use the wrong cleansing product, it becomes intensely itchy and can flare up suddenly. - Texture & application: It has a thin consistency and spreads smoothly on the skin. - Finish: Leaves the skin feeling moisturized. - When applied properly in the right amount, it naturally brightens the complexion by one shade, which is great!
ConsIf you can't control the amount, it can clump. When applied to skin that's not in good condition, it severely emphasizes dead skin cells. The scent might be divisive - it smells like cosmetics or powder, which I personally dislike. While the finish looks dewy, my skin doesn't actually feel hydrated, it just appears shiny on the surface. (Given it's the changing season, I feel like if I went out like this, all the yellow dust and fine dust would stick to my face...)
TipTry using a pea-sized amount and blend well. Make sure to exfoliate before application, and finish with a light dusting of powder. That should work better!

I've always had bad luck with brightening moisturizers, so I didn't expect much. But when I opened it and applied it to the back of my hand, I was amazed. The tone-evening effect was perfect, and most importantly, it was incredibly hydrating with zero pilling (especially in wrinkle-prone areas - incomparable to other brightening moisturizers). It applies smoothly, and you only need a tiny amount for sufficient coverage. I experienced no blemishes; instead, it seemed to refine my skin texture. After cleansing, my complexion looked so bright that I actually washed twice, thinking I was imagining it! It seems packed with great ingredients that really work hard for your skin.
ConsOf course, it would be nice if it had some sun protection, but if that would change the formula, it's perfect as is. By the way, how do I attach a video? I filmed one enthusiastically because I like the product so much...
TipIf you use chemical sunscreens, you absolutely must buy this. It allows for a foundation-free look and has great staying power - it lasts all day. You can even expect a subtle glow. It pairs well with gel-type moisturizers too. If you're using it with physical sunscreens that leave a white cast, be careful - you might end up looking too pale. Really, using just a small amount on areas you want to brighten should be enough.
