It doesn't leave a rich finish, but becomes more matte after some time Scent: Herbal medicine smell? The fragrance might be polarizing I'm not sensitive to scents, just noticed a slight herbal aroma Absorption: Absorbs well, feels moisturizing at first, then settles to a matte finish Effects: Claims to lighten dark spots and acne scars, and I think I'm seeing some results? Not sure if it's just my imagination, but it does seem to have a slight lightening effect
ConsIf this wasn't from The Hwahae Testers and I had bought it with my own money, I might have been surprised by the small size Still, compared to other skincare products, it's quite thick, and I think I've seen some results, so I'm satisfied. However, I might hesitate to purchase it due to the price As for the scent, it's only noticeable when you first apply it and dissipates quickly, so I'm not worried about it
TipI like to use this serum after my exfoliating toner and before my emulsion, followed by a moisturizer My toner has a watery consistency that evaporates quickly, but this thick serum helps to seal it in If you have a skincare device, it might be good to use it after applying this serum to help it penetrate!

This product really helps calm my skin after squeezing pores. While it has whitening properties, it doesn't dramatically lighten the skin. Instead, it seems to prevent discoloration after treating acne. My complexion looks a bit clearer overall. It absorbs well, allowing me to layer moisturizer and makeup on top without any pilling issues.
ConsThe scent is quite strong. To me, it smells like a harsh men's toner. I haven't gotten used to it yet, but I continue using it because it works well as an essence. Fortunately, the scent fades away after a while.
TipI apply it in the morning, and it absorbs nicely. I'm using it mainly to prevent dark spots and pigmentation around my eyes and cheekbones.

I've been using it for two weeks since receiving it. For context, I have extremely dry and sensitive skin, and my usual skincare routine is: Toner (hydrating) > Serum/Ampoule > Cream In summer, I replace the cream with an emulsion. This is my basic routine, though I occasionally use masks too. During these two weeks, I stuck to the above routine without any masks. With sensitive skin, I can use very few cosmetics. If I use something that doesn't suit me, I break out in tiny blemishes and inflammation within two days, and even feel unwell. So if a product works for me, I consider it my holy grail. I occasionally used Mediheal's Madecassoside Toner Pads for post-makeup care. When I heard they released a serum, I was intrigued. Mediheal's reasonable pricing was appealing, but I was hesitant to buy it in case it didn't suit my skin. Luckily, I got selected for The Hwahae Testers and used it for two weeks. First off, I didn't develop any blemishes or inflammation at all. This alone makes it a winner for me... To think I've found a skincare product I can actually use! I'll definitely repurchase when it's on sale. I'll share a few more thoughts comparing it to other serums I've been able to use. If you have sensitive and extremely dry skin, it's worth trying, and if it works for you, it could become a staple. 1. Balanced oil and moisture For extremely dry skin, serums with only hydration and no oil content aren't ideal. While this has a watery texture, it feels deeply hydrating when applied. It doesn't make my face greasy, just perfectly moisturized. It's great for spring/summer/fall use...!! It might be a bit light for winter for my extremely dry skin, but if you have regular dry skin, it could work year-round. It's perfect for light application. 2. Reasonable price Most ampoules that meet the criteria in point 1 are very expensive, but this one... It's often on sale or has 1+1 offers, which is great. These days, many products are only 25ml and still pricey, but this is 40ml - such great value! 3. The dropper is super convenient I've always struggled with ampoule and serum droppers, but this one dispenses easily with just a light squeeze. I'm so happy to be free from finger strain ㅠㅠ
ConsThere aren't really any downsides, but here are some points others might find disappointing: 1. The bottle is plastic...? But I actually prefer it because it's lighter. I usually use up serums and ampoules within 2 months (about a month on average). 2. The Madecassoside scent It has that distinct scent associated with Madecassoside ingredients. But the scent disappears about a minute after application, so it doesn't bother me. Plus, it's not an unpleasant scent.

While I'm not sure yet if it helps with blemishes, it seems gentle enough for those with super sensitive skin to use without worry of irritation.
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss for some. It fades quickly after application so it didn't bother me much, but it has a slight herbal medicine-like aroma.

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.ProsI was lucky enough to be chosen as one of The Hwahae Testers, but I couldn't leave a review after just one use, so I diligently applied it morning and evening for 12 days. The timing was perfect as my skin had been acting up in the summer, leaving behind some blemishes. I love applying products generously, so I've already used about half the bottle. Looking at the photos I've taken, I can see there's a real difference. It absorbs well without sitting on the skin, and I didn't experience any allergic reactions or irritation. When I applied makeup, I felt like I had a solid foundation. I'm completely satisfied!
ConsIt's not exactly a drawback, but if I had to nitpick, the scent is a bit ambiguous. Is it ginseng? Or a herbal smell? It does smell like something that would be good for you. However, the scent completely disappears shortly after application.

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.ProsUnlike the round bottles of serums I've used before, this one comes in a square container. It's not sharply angled, so it's comfortable to hold and has a satisfying grip. The texture isn't watery, but has a slightly thicker consistency. I love how quickly it absorbs and doesn't feel sticky on the skin. While I haven't used it long enough to confidently speak about long-term effects, I do notice my complexion looks brighter after application.
ConsThe scent reminds me of medicinal herbs or pharmaceuticals. Although the fragrance doesn't linger, I prefer unscented or light, fresh scents, so I found this off-putting. After application, I felt a slight tightness in my skin.

While it's not a watery formula, it applies smoothly like one and absorbs quickly without any stickiness! With daily use, I've noticed the redness from previous blemishes fading, and my skin seems more soothed!! My skin condition has improved so much that my makeup looks absolutely beautiful now.
ConsThe scent dissipates quickly, but it's a shame that it smells quite artificial. The price seems a bit high for the amount you get...
TipAfter cleansing and using a toner mask, applying this spot-treating serum makes my skin incredibly smooth and wonderful the next day!

I think I'll need to use it consistently to really tell. The texture isn't too runny, making it easy to control the amount with the dropper, which I liked. Right after application, it feels a bit sticky, but as time passes, it absorbs well, so I didn't notice much stickiness overall. I used it in the order of toner, hydrating ampoule, and serum, and it worked well without causing any blemishes.
ConsThe centella scent might be hit or miss for some. It reminded me of herbal medicine, so I held my breath every time I applied it. However, the scent doesn't linger long after application, so I'm still willing to keep using it! The container is a dark bottle, and while there might be a reason for this, it's a bit disappointing that it's hard to check how much product is left.
