Pros
First, it's a bit disappointing because I couldn't use it more than three times as daily writing was burdensome. These days, there are many products that melt away dead skin cells and sebum, but my skin is really sensitive, so I couldn't buy them. However, I applied for this one because I heard it's very gentle. And it really is gentle - I didn't feel any irritation at all when I used it!! So, while I couldn't really feel it melting away the dead skin, I'll try to use it more going forward. I liked it because the ingredients are good.
Cons
I wear a mask every day when I work, but I think I should only apply it in the evening. I apply everything else the same in the morning, but this one extra thing has caused a yellow, bumpy rash to appear, like a skin irritation. So I think it's because of the moisture, which is why I'm going to apply it only in the evening! And the vinegar-like smell is something I really dislike. Haha.

Pros
The package is clean and clutter-free, and the matte exterior doesn't easily show fingerprints, which I really like when holding it. The formula has a thin, runny consistency that glides out smoothly when squeezed from the dropper. Since it's a lightweight formula, it absorbs quickly and leaves a matte finish, which is great for my oily skin.
Cons
During the day, I applied the product and went out, but when I came home in the evening, I had a major breakout... 😢 Since I didn't change any other cosmetics, it seems to be due to this product. It's likely that the fermented ingredients don't agree with me. The finish is fresh and matte, which can feel a bit lacking in the winter. Especially for those with dry skin, it's better to layer it or use a product that can supplement the oil and moisture, rather than applying it alone.

Pros
The texture is slightly runny. After washing my face, I applied this serum as the first step, and it absorbed quickly. At first, I used this product before bed, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt like my skin had become soft and smooth, so I thought it was good.
Cons
I'm not sure if it helps with skin exfoliation. Instead, I got more closed comedones on my skin. When I stopped using this product, the closed comedones went away, and I thought it was just my imagination. So I tried it again, and this time, more severe closed comedones and inflammatory acne appeared. I do not recommend this product.
Tip
If I want to do exfoliation, I find that using an enzyme powder is more effective for me. Or you could also try using the Innisfree retinol product, which might be a good option.

Pros
Skin Type: Acne (Whiteheads, Comedones, Nodular) / Dehydrated / Sensitive / Dermatitis It seems to be quite effective in improving skin texture! The formula is very lightweight and applies like water when dispensed with the dropper. Absorption is extremely fast, and it feels like a very thin film coating the skin. This helps with the smoothing of texture. I didn't experience any irritation or stinging sensations when using it, and my sensitive skin didn't become flushed either. Those who dislike tackiness and aren't sensitive to the ingredients would likely be satisfied using this as their first serum.
Cons
Unfortunately, this product just didn't work for me. While I've used the key ingredients like galactomyces, hyaluronic acid, and PHA before without issue, this product caused some peculiar reactions. It wasn't irritating, but 2-3 days after first use, I developed some small whiteheads on my face. I have dehydrated skin and usually layer on multiple ampoules to really pack in the moisture, but with this product, it felt like there was some kind of film that was preventing proper absorption. And my usual hyaluronic acid ampoule seemed to be getting pushed out as well, even when I changed my application method. It would still work fine without this product, but not when used together.
Tip
It's important to carefully select your other skincare products when using this. The lightweight formula may work better for oily/combination skin types rather than dry skin.

Pros
Texture, Formulation The formulation is like thin water, with almost no viscosity. The transparent formulation has an extremely low viscosity and a very moisturized feel. It absorbs quickly after application with no stickiness. The texture is suitable for cleansing and then applying directly. It's also great for layering other products on top. The product has a clean, pleasant feel without any undesirable ingredients. Fragrance There is a unique scent from the galactomyces ferment filtrate. It has a slightly sour note, but it's not overpowering, though some may dislike it. I personally enjoy this ingredient, so it was fine for me. As someone with dry, sensitive skin, I was initially worried about using this. Since it contains exfoliating ingredients, I was concerned it might be irritating. At first, I only used it on my forehead, nose, and chin, but I didn't experience significant irritation. Just to be safe, I applied it gently without scrubbing or using it as a mask, and just let it absorb, which seemed to work well. The generous amount is also a plus.
Cons
As a booster serum, I didn't expect it to be highly moisturizing, but the hydration level is a bit lacking. I need to apply additional moisturizing products to properly hydrate my skin. I'm not sure if it's due to this product or another cause, but I developed some blemishes on my chin. Since the rest of my face is fine, I'm not certain of the exact reason, so I'll need to use it more to determine the cause.
Tip
Be sure to follow up with an essence and cream or other moisturizing products after using this. And for areas where you're concerned about exfoliation, you may want to apply it more thoroughly.

Pros
Based on my criteria as someone with dry and sensitive skin, the good points I can list are: 1. Moisturizing The product has a runny, watery texture but is quite moisturizing! The texture applies smoothly and absorbs well. Of course, it may be difficult to use this alone for dry skin, but those with oily skin could likely use it lightly on its own in the summer. 2. Packaging Design The design is clean and neat. The opaque bottle not only looks stylish but also allows for hygienic use with the dropper.
Cons
Yeah... it didn't seem to agree with my skin, and my skin ended up irritated. 🥲🥲 I thought it might be because of this product, so I used it for one more day, but seeing it get worse, I stopped using it after just two days. 😢 Those with sensitive skin should be cautious.

Pros
I felt like my skin tone temporarily brightened on the first day of use! The formula is a well-flowing water type, and I was surprised that it seemed to manage dryness to some extent. If you want a lightweight formula that helps with dryness in the summer, I would recommend it. I definitely saw effects on the texture of my skin! I would also recommend it to those who want gentle exfoliation.
Cons
I used it consistently at night, and around the third day, I started to get a few red bumps. I think it may not have been compatible with the other skincare products I use, or the nourishment was a bit too much for my skin. Those who don't get along with galactomyces or Centella might want to test it out.
Tip
Since it contains Centella, those who are sensitive to irritation or don't get along with this ingredient should use it cautiously or combine it with a gentle cream or soothing cream (which can be used together with galactomyces or Centella) for special care periods. This way, you may be able to see the benefits of exfoliation and skin texture improvement.

Pros
This product was refreshing as it is a serum applied in the first step of skincare. Just as the name suggests, it really did feel like a booster, as the subsequent skincare products were absorbed much better. With its watery texture, it was absorbed quickly. It is stated that applying it twice on areas with a lot of dead skin can help with exfoliation, and it really does work!! My skin became incredibly smooth and supple. The fragrance is a mild, unobtrusive skincare scent. This product suits most skin types, but it's probably best to avoid it if you have acne-prone skin. These days, with my face being an oil and sebum explosion due to the summer, using this product caused a lot of new breakouts to pop up🥲 It has become the worst skin period of my life, and I'm working hard to recover from it. I plan to use this product again once my skin condition improves!
Cons
These days, with the summer and my skin being an oil explosion, I experienced a ton of breakouts. From cystic to closed comedones, it was an all-out attack.^^
Tip
Layering it on areas with dead skin can help with exfoliation!! Once it's fully absorbed in the first skincare step, the subsequent products get absorbed incredibly well, and my skin becomes more supple than usual, so it was a great addition to my routine.

Pros
👍🏻 It's refreshing and absorbs quickly ✔️ Usage experience It absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky, which I like. Personally, I don't like when there's a residue left on my face, so I'm satisfied with this. Also, it seems to have smoothed out my skin texture and pores a bit. I don't do separate exfoliation, but my skin definitely feels smoother. ✔️ Texture The texture is refreshing and non-sticky, even in the summer. However, during drier seasons, you may need to layer it a few times.
Cons
🤔 The unique scent takes some getting used to ✔️ Fragrance It has a subtly pungent vinegar-like scent, which takes some getting used to at first. ✔️ Breakouts I used it morning and night for a week, and a few small blemishes popped up. The purging period may still be ongoing, so I plan to continue using it and see how it goes.
Tip
🍯 Use your fingertips! ✔️ Use just your fingertips to gently roll and apply the product. It absorbs quickly, so using your whole palm can cause it to get absorbed into your hand more. Try applying it to your face with your fingertips and then gently pressing with your warm palms to help it absorb even better!

Pros
- Doesn't feel sticky or tacky on the skin, provides a clean finish compared to other products - Fragrance-free - Maintains moisture for a long time, highly recommended for dry skin types And most importantly, what I liked the most is !!!!! It has a cooling effect that helps lower the internal heat of the skin. Anyone who has used this product will surely agree with this 👍👍👍
Cons
I'm not sure if it's because it coincided with my menstrual cycle, but I experienced a slight breakout after using it. Other than that, it helps lower skin temperature and applies well for makeup, so I would recommend it.
