So this review might be a bit limited! Recently, there have been many products that dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, but my skin is super sensitive, so I couldn't try them. I decided to give this one a shot because it's supposed to be really gentle. And it truly is! When I applied it, I didn't feel any irritation at all! Because of that, I couldn't really tell if it was effectively removing dead skin cells, but I plan to keep using it. I like that it has good ingredients.
ConsI wear a mask every day at work, so I think I'll only apply this in the evening. When I added just this product to my usual morning routine, I noticed small, yellow, inflamed bumps appearing on my skin, almost like dermatitis? So I'm thinking it might be due to the humidity, and I'll stick to using it only at night. Also, the vinegar-like smell is a big turn-off for me.

Cons- After applying it and going out during the day, I came home in the evening to find my blemishes had exploded... Unfortunately, since I hadn't changed any other cosmetics, it seems this product didn't agree with my skin. Perhaps the fermented ingredients don't suit me. - While it leaves a fresh, matte finish, it might feel a bit lacking in winter. Especially for those with dry skin, you may need to layer it or use additional products to supplement oil and moisture balance.

I apply this serum as the first step after cleansing, and it absorbs quickly. When I first used this product before bed, I woke up feeling like my skin had become softer, which I thought was pretty good.
ConsI'm not sure if it's actually helping with dead skin cells. If anything, I noticed more small blemishes appearing on my skin. When I stopped using this product, the small blemishes went away. Thinking it might have been my imagination, I tried applying it again, but this time even more small blemishes and pustular acne appeared than before. I don't recommend this.
TipIf I want to take care of dead skin cells, I prefer using enzyme powder, which seems more effective for exfoliation. Alternatively, I think using Innisfree's retinol product could be a good option too.

The formula is incredibly lightweight, and when applied with the dropper, it falls quickly like water, haha. It absorbs really fast, feeling like it's coating your skin with a super thin film. That's probably why it's so good at evening out skin texture. When using it, I didn't experience any irritation or tingling sensation. Even though I have super sensitive skin, my face didn't turn red or feel flushed. I think people who dislike sticky products and aren't sensitive to the ingredients would be satisfied using this as their first serum in their skincare routine.
ConsUnfortunately, this product just didn't work for me. I've used products with galactomyces, hyaluronic acid, and PHA before without any blemish issues. However, with this product, something really unusual happened. While it wasn't irritating at first, after 2-3 days, I developed whiteheads all over my face. I have combination dehydrated skin, so I usually layer serums multiple times for maximum hydration. But with this product, it felt like it created a film that might have blocked absorption, leading to those whiteheads. Also, it caused pilling with my regular hyaluronic acid serum, which was disappointing. I tried applying them in different ways, but the pilling persisted. It only happened when I used this product.
TipYou need to carefully choose the skincare products you use after this one. Due to its lightweight nature, it might be better suited for oily skin types rather than dry skin.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsTexture and Application: The formula is watery and has almost no viscosity. It's transparent with a hydration-packed feel, absorbs quickly after application, and leaves absolutely no greasy residue. The consistency is perfect for use right after cleansing and creates an ideal base for layering other products. It gives a clean impression with no harmful ingredients. Scent: It has a distinctive aroma from the Galactomyces ferment filtrate. The scent is slightly tangy but not overpowering, though some might find it off-putting. I personally enjoy this ingredient, so I found it pleasant. As someone with dry and super sensitive skin, I was initially apprehensive about using it. I was concerned about potential irritation due to the exfoliating ingredients, so I started by applying it mainly to my forehead, nose, and chin. However, I didn't experience any significant irritation. To be safe, I avoided rubbing it in vigorously or using it as a mask. Instead, I gently applied it and let it absorb, which I think contributed to its effectiveness. The generous amount of product is definitely a plus.
ConsWhile I didn't expect intense hydration from a booster serum, the moisturizing effect is slightly disappointing. It's a bit frustrating that I need to apply additional products to achieve adequate hydration. I'm not sure if it's due to this product or another factor, but I developed a blemish on my chin. Since other areas of my face are fine, I can't pinpoint the exact cause. I'll need to continue using it to determine if it's the culprit.
TipMake sure to follow up with other essences and creams to boost hydration after using this product. For areas where dead skin cells are a concern, it might be beneficial to apply the product more thoroughly.

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.ProsAs someone with dry and super sensitive skin, here's what I liked about this product: 1. Hydration The product has a runny, almost mucus-like texture, but it's surprisingly hydrating! Thanks to its consistency, it spreads easily and absorbs well into the skin. While it might not be enough on its own for those with dry skin, I think it could be perfect for people with oily skin as a light, standalone moisturizer in summer. 2. Packaging design The design is sleek and minimalist. The opaque bottle not only looks sophisticated but also comes with a dropper, which makes for a more hygienic application.
ConsUnfortunately, my skin didn't agree with this product at all. It caused a severe reaction, leaving my skin in a terrible state. I thought it might just be an initial reaction, so I tried it for one more day, but it only got worse. I had to stop using it after just two days. Those with super sensitive skin should be very cautious with this one.

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.ProsOn the first day of use, I noticed my complexion temporarily brightened! The formula is a fluid water-type, but surprisingly, it seemed to address deep dryness to some extent. If you're looking for a lightweight formula that combats dryness in summer, I'd recommend this. It definitely seemed to improve my skin texture! I'd also recommend it for those who want gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells.
ConsI used it consistently at night, but around the third day, I started noticing small red bumps. It might not have agreed with my other skincare products, or perhaps it was a bit too rich for continuous use on my skin. Those who don't respond well to galactomyces or PHA might want to patch test this product.
TipSince it contains PHA, those with sensitive skin or who don't tolerate this ingredient should use it cautiously. For short-term special care, you could pair it with a gentle or soothing cream (one that's compatible with galactomyces or PHA) to see benefits in exfoliation and skin texture improvement.

True to its name, it really acts like a booster, making the following skincare products absorb much better. With its water-like consistency, it gets absorbed quickly. The product claims that layering it twice on areas with a lot of dead skin cells helps with exfoliation, and it's absolutely true! My skin becomes incredibly smooth and soft. The scent is a subtle, inoffensive skincare fragrance that doesn't overpower. While this product should suit all skin types without polarizing opinions, those with acne-prone skin might want to be cautious. Recently, due to summer, my face has been experiencing an oil and sebum explosion. Using this product caused some unexpected blemishes to appear. I'm currently in the worst skin phase of my life and working hard on recovery. I plan to use this product again once my skin improves!
ConsFor oily skin in summer, it caused a lot of blemishes. From pustules to small bumps, I got them all...
TipLayering it on areas with dead skin cells really helps with exfoliation! When absorbed as the first step in skincare, it significantly improves the absorption of subsequent products. My skin feels firmer than usual, making it a perfect canvas for makeup application.

Personally, I don't like products that leave residue on my face, so I'm very satisfied! It seems to have smoothed out dead skin cells and improved skin texture. I don't exfoliate separately, but my skin definitely feels softer. ✔️ Formula The formula is light and non-sticky, perfect for summer use. However, in drier seasons, you might need to layer it a few times for better hydration.
ConsThe unique scent takes some getting used to ✔️ Fragrance It has a slightly sharp scent, reminiscent of vinegar, which might take some time to get accustomed to. ✔️ Blemishes After using it morning and night for a week, I noticed a few small pimples. Since my skin cycle is about a week, this could be a factor. I'll continue using it and monitor the results.
TipFingertip application tip! ✔️ Try applying it gently with just your fingertips, using a rolling motion. The product absorbs quickly, so using your whole palm might result in more absorption into your hands. After applying with your fingertips, you can gently press your warm palms against your face to enhance absorption!

Anyone who has used this will definitely agree!
ConsI'm not sure if it was because it coincided with my menstrual cycle, but I experienced slight blemishes after use. Apart from that, I recommend it as it helps reduce skin temperature and works well under makeup.
