It is a functional whitening cosmetic product, and it has completed a sensitive skin irritation test. 🌱The unique herbal scent of the madecassoside product It has a very fragrant herbal scent. It's cool, refreshing, and has a phytoncide feel. It's a scent that goes very well with summer. Just smelling it makes you feel a bit cooler. 🌱An opaque formula with a slight viscosity It's an opaque, milky white, but when applied to the skin, it spreads out and becomes almost transparent. It has a viscosity, so it doesn't flow like water, but it's not sticky either - it's a refreshing formula. It applies lightly like a water-based serum and is moisturizing. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like madecassoside products have a unique, subtle grittiness to them. You can't feel it in creams, but in lighter formulas like toners or serums, there's this slightly medicinal-feeling, almost undetectable but tangible sensation on the fingertips when applying. 🌱A feeling of moisturization and cleanliness With the fragrant scent and smooth application, as it spreads on the skin, you feel a "Ah, so moisturizing~" sensation. And thanks to the distinctive scent, your skin feels like it's being disinfected and cleansed. In summary, it's a product that is moisturizing, refreshing, and perfect for summer! It has good hydration!
ConsWhen I think of madecassoside, the first things that come to mind are trouble and skin barrier, and soothing. Since I've seen a lot of advertisements about trouble, the words like whitening, pigmentation, and blemish care don't really match well with it. So even though it has whitening functionality, I didn't have high expectations for whitening and just used it. From the reviews I read before using it, the reactions to the whitening effect were quite mixed, so I just forgot about the whitening functionality and used it. Indeed, I didn't particularly feel like my skin became brighter or my freckles and blemishes faded. If it's called a moisturizing serum, I would have felt it was a sufficiently moisturizing product, but I'm a bit skeptical about whether it was effective for whitening. Is it absorbed or just drying (evaporating)? It feels moist and refreshing right after application, but it doesn't last long. After the immediate moisture replenishment, it's just a lightweight moisturizing serum. Then I apply a moisturizing cream right after. So I'm not sure about the blemish care that the product advertisement claims. But it has a moisturizing effect and a really refreshing scent, so it feels great to use in the morning! That's all.

I only used the Anua Moisture Cream and Mediheal Serum! I used the serum first after cleansing. The scent has no strong likes or dislikes, with a refreshing herbal fragrance and the formulation is not too oily, with fast absorption, so it finishes nicely and refreshingly! I don't think a separate toner is necessary! This one product is sufficient for the basic skincare routine.
ConsMy skin is quite dehydrated, so there is a slightly dry feeling even after just one application. That means the absorption is quite fast and the finish is refreshing, right? It would be best to layer it two or three times.
TipAfter cleansing, there is no need for a toner. Layer this product about two times, then apply a moisturizer on top. On days when blemishes appear, apply a sleeping pack a bit more thickly, like a standalone pack. When you wake up the next morning, the blemishes will have calmed down a bit. :)

Unlike the thick texture that appears to be slowly absorbed, it has a quick absorption and a refreshing finish without stickiness! There is a slight viscosity when applied, so when applied just before makeup, the base makeup adheres perfectly. The scent is slightly herbal. The subtle scent was not at all annoying. Since scent is a matter of personal preference, it may be helpful to refer to it.
ConsImmediately after application, it may feel slightly sticky. However, after absorption and drying, it will not be as fluffy, but will be left with just a moisturized feeling, so as long as you can withstand the absorption period, it should be fine..! (This is the evaluation of an individual who is extremely sensitive to stickiness due to the use of Jangmojong Goyeonghee)

It's not sticky, so it feels good when applied, and it's not too watery, so it's easy to apply to the face. ☺️Fragrance: It has a cool, grassy scent, somewhat similar to a mild insect repellent. Perhaps the scent of centella is directly incorporated? Even though I prefer unscented products, the fragrance itself is pleasant, and I didn't feel any discomfort using it. In fact, I found the fragrance to be somewhat relaxing. ☺️Moisturizing Power: Average I used this serum alone for 2 weeks, then moved on to using a cream as the next step. When used alone and left, it felt drying, but since this is not a product I would purchase to use on its own, the good absorption is an advantage. ☺️Absorption: Good. It absorbs completely without any residue, making it easy to use in combination with other products.
ConsWhile I felt an improvement in skin texture, I did not notice a significant improvement in blemish reduction. I think I need to use it for a longer period to see the full effects. I'm not sure why, but the dropper is always completely full whenever I open it. This is not my first time using the serum, and I thought I was being careful when opening and closing it.
Tip40ml seems to have a smaller capacity than expected, so if you decide to purchase it, it would be better to buy and use the newly released larger size.

Recommended skin type: Troubled, dry It quickly calms down troubles and effectively manages dryness. 2. Texture: It has a bouncy feel, but absorbs very well. 3. Fragrance: It has a herbal, botanical scent. I really liked this type of fragrance - it's not too strong, so others can use it comfortably as well. 4. No hives or itchiness: I'm sensitive to atopy, but there was no irritation at all, and blemishes and minor spots faded. 5. Effects: Blemishes on the skin have disappeared, and the skin is hydrated and radiant.
ConsThe amount is too little ㅠㅠ I want to apply it thickly at night and go to sleep, but I can't use much because it's precious..
TipProper exfoliation of facial dead skin cells helps improve absorption and effectiveness. Using a facial scrub and a sleeping mask together is a good way to manage facial dead skin cells.

Becomes taut and flaky during seasonal changes, sensitive skin. ⸻ 📌 Formulation • A lightweight gel-type that absorbs into the skin without any heaviness or stickiness. Great for those who dislike tackiness. ⸻ 📌 Usage experience • Can be used comfortably even on sensitive skin without any stinging or redness. Lightweight and absorbs smoothly, making it great for soothing in summer or seasonal changes. However, dry skin still needs a cream added. ⸻ 📌 Fragrance • Subtle notes of centella and mint. Has a toothpaste-like scent, but it doesn't linger long, only noticeable right after application. Those who prefer unscented may have mixed opinions. ⸻ 📌 Oiliness & Moisture • Virtually zero oiliness. Moisture alone may be lacking, but layering it lightly helps brighten the skin and has a soothing effect. ⸻ 📌 Durability • Long-lasting hydration is difficult. Becomes slightly drying after 1-2 hours, but the calming and redness-reducing effects are noticeably good, making it a great light soothing product. ⸻ 📌 Blemishes & Pigmentation • After about a week of use, pigmentation concerns haven't been resolved yet, but the reddish marks seem to have visibly faded, and the skin feels more stabilized overall. ⸻ Overall • ❌ Dry skin may need additional moisture when used alone • ✅ The calming effect is quite reliable, great for when dealing with breakouts or sensitive skin • ✅ The lightweight, non-sticky texture is appealing • ✅ Layering it helps refine the skin texture, making it a good makeup base One-line summary: Recommended for soothing and refining, but dry skin must use it with a cream.
ConsDue to the nature of the illness, it seems like the last drop won't come out.

However, I'm not sure about the actual effects...? It doesn't really feel like my skin has improved much in the past month from using this serum.. It's kind of just a so-so product, you know? And while it worked well for me, a friend of mine tried it and said it was too irritating. If Madecassoside doesn't agree with your skin, be careful with it.. But I didn't experience any major issues like redness or anything like that! The effects didn't seem to show up very quickly, and it was more just a comfortable, easy-to-use serum for me - a pretty middle-of-the-road product, really! But my skin still feels a bit rough, to be honest.
ConsThe effects were not felt well! I did not feel that the acne scars and pigmentation were much lightened.

ConsMy skin broke out after applying it to my cheeks... Highly sensitive skin is not recommended. It seems the high concentration caused that.
TipThe price is very reasonable. It is usually possible to purchase two units in the 20,000 won range at Olleh. Perhaps due to the high Madecassoside content, when applied to the entire face, it was rather irritating, but when applied in small amounts only to the troubled areas, it was good (for sensitive skin). If you are concerned about inflammatory acne on the forehead or hairline, it is recommended.

As I am quite sensitive, I am gradually applying it in small amounts to the areas I want to conceal, and so far there has been no noticeable irritation, so I am now applying it all over. The scent is not strong, but has a subtle herbal fragrance. ✔️ Even in this dry seasonal transition, it provides good hydration and absorbs well, so there is no greasy feeling after applying lotion. I will continue to use it consistently!
ConsWhile it states that there are 2-week traces, I think I need to use it a little more to know for sure! The already pigmented areas are difficult, but the areas that are not yet affected will likely see effects if I apply it consistently! The price-to-volume ratio is a bit small, so I end up having to use it sparingly, which is a bit disappointing!
TipGentle on the skin, but just in case, it's best to apply a small amount to the area that needs care first, and then you can apply it to the entire area if you wish!
