Unlike other brightening creams, this one doesn't feel stiff and provides excellent hydration. It also offers a natural brightening effect that evens skin tone. While it claims to refine pores, I'm not sure about that aspect. I noticed a slight increase in sebum production. - Hwahae UserDry SkinApr 28, 2025
I ordered this after seeing an ad on Instagram! It's more hydrating than I expected and adheres to the skin in a thin layer. As soon as you apply it, your skin naturally brightens up! I really notice a brighter complexion in the morning, and I'll keep using it consistently to see if it has any effect on my pores! When you first apply it, it feels a bit like it's sitting on top of the skin. You need to spread it well several times! As someone with dry skin, I find it drying if I use this alone, so I finish by layering it with other products :) I had some small blemishes appear on the first and second day, but they quickly subsided! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinApr 26, 2025
It has a subtle blurring effect that gives a natural tone correction when applied to the face. While it might not be enough on its own, it's perfect for prepping the skin before makeup. It smooths out the skin texture and feels wonderfully hydrating. I was surprised to see how it minimized the appearance of pores on my hands! Though the effects aren't dramatic or instant, after about two weeks of use, I noticed my skin texture becoming softer. The downside is that you need to massage it in quite a bit for it to absorb completely. Although it's said to be okay to sleep with it on, I still try to remove it before bed. I mainly use it as a pre-makeup step. I also apply it to my neck and use it as part of my pre-makeup routine! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 14, 2025
1) Love the tube packaging 2) Appreciate not having to remove a separate cap to open 3) No blemishes occurred and it absorbs well 4) Not sticky and has a good oil and moisture balance I applied thinking it was a brightening moisturizer, but was relieved there was no white cast, so I figured it's okay to use at night too. The brightening effect needs to be evaluated long-term. Usually, anti-wrinkle and whitening products tend to be oilier, often causing blemishes, but so far no issues - perhaps due to less frequent use. If I had to nitpick, the quantity is a bit small. The testing period was too short to properly review the brightening moisturizer's effectiveness. - Hwahae UserDry SkinApr 14, 2025
- Absorbs well It has a moisturizing and smooth texture that absorbs nicely into the skin. - Natural effect Despite being a skincare product, it provides a subtle brightening effect and helps with pore care. When you finish your bare-faced routine with this cream, it gives a slight 'base makeup' look. - Rich texture Most people concerned about pores likely have oily skin, and for those with oily skin types, this product may feel increasingly rich as time passes. - Subtle results While I mentioned the natural effect as a positive point, it might be too subtle. If you're expecting dramatic results as suggested by the product name, you may be disappointed. Both the brightening and pore-filling effects are very minimal. - Use as makeup base Dry skin types might find this suitable as a natural makeup base for everyday use. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 14, 2025
It applies smoothly with a moisturizing effect, blurring pores like a primer and leaving skin feeling soft and velvety. Despite having thick skin that's not particularly sensitive, I experienced a burning sensation and tingling on my face after some time. This happened even when I applied it thinly over my skincare routine (toner, serum, and moisturizer). To be sure, I tried it again the next day after my cream step, but the result was the same. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 13, 2025
- First off, I love how lightweight and thin the formula is, spreading easily and absorbing quickly. It's also fragrance-free, which is a plus. - The instructions suggest layering small amounts, and I'm impressed that even with multiple applications, it absorbs rapidly without any pilling or heavy feeling, leaving my skin moisturized yet matte. - It's comfortable on my combination dehydrated skin, providing hydration without excessive oiliness. - With consistent use, I noticed a significant improvement in just two weeks - my blackheads lightened and my overall complexion became clearer. - Due to its brightening effect, I applied it only at night and layered it more generously. There's nothing particularly negative, but the texture is quite runny compared to regular creams, so sometimes more product comes out than intended when trying to dispense a small amount. Also, while it's marketed as a pore-blurring cream, I'm not sure if it just has a blurring effect or if it actually helps reduce sebum production. I'll need to use it longer to determine that. To enhance its pore-refining effects, I often used it after cleansing with an oil cleanser. This combination seemed to have a synergistic effect in clarifying my complexion. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 11, 2025
This review is based on personal experience and subjective judgment, while still recording factual information. Skin tone: Spring Warm Light / Summer Cool Light Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin / Blemishes / Uneven texture / Red scars • Texture Opaque, typical cream consistency. Spreads thinly and moisturizes with a small amount. When applied, it feels like an oil layer forms on top rather than hydration. • Application Feels like applying a sun essence. Finishes with a slight glow due to the oil layer on top. However, it feels like it's just adding an oil layer on top without deeply hydrating in previous skincare steps. This creates a sensation of the product sitting heavily on the skin. • Scent Has a slight cool, earthy scent typical of cica and madecassoside-based skincare products. • Complexion improvement Rather than noticeably reducing dark spots or freckles, it gives a natural Inner Glow brightening effect. • Pore improvement Disappointing lack of noticeable pore-refining effects. The rich texture seemed to increase sebum production, requiring more diligent care for dead skin cells and oil control. • Dead skin cells and sebum As mentioned earlier, the oily finish of the product seemed to lead to sebum buildup over time. Not recommended for oily skin types. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 11, 2025
As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found the application to be wonderfully moisturizing! The absorption was flawless too! It gave a slight brightening effect, almost as if it had a subtle white cast, which made my skin look brighter. The same brightening effect that I mentioned as a positive could be a drawback for nighttime skincare. It felt a bit too brightening for evening use. Other than that, everything else was pretty standard! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 11, 2025
This product is absolutely amazing!! I've used it diligently up until the day I had to write this review. A brightening moisturizer for nighttime use? I thought even a bit of hydration and slight whitening would be a success. But wow! After applying this, my skin developed a glow and my complexion improved tremendously. I expected it to be slightly drying, but it's actually moisturizing and hydrates well. Regenerating creams usually leave a white cast due to their ingredients. So I often use them when I'm going out and want to look presentable without makeup (I'm sure many of you can relate). But this is truly the one. It absorbs so much better, and I'll definitely repurchase after I finish this one. The only downside is that the size is a bit small... At first, I didn't even think it was a cream. But on the bright side, it's convenient to carry on planes! When you're hesitant about going out bare-faced, just use this! It's fantastic.
