    The texture is perfect for a clean application in summer, which I really appreciate.
    At first, I was a bit surprised by how watery and liquid-like it was. Suitable for all skin types.
    I apply it generously, follow up with a hydrating moisturizer, and when I wake up in the morning, my complexion looks brighter and feels deeply hydrated.

    Effective for improving blemishes, dark spots, and acne scars: Thanks to a complex of ingredients including 2% alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, and tranexamic acid, I noticed my dull complexion becoming clearer and more refined in just 1-2 weeks of use. Lightweight and non-sticky watery texture: Despite its water-like consistency, it absorbs quickly without pilling, making it perfect for morning routines. Gentle and suitable for sensitive skin: Free from fragrance, alcohol, and oils, it's well-tolerated by sensitive skin types, with minimal redness or irritation.
    Results may take time to appear: Rather than instant brightening, you'll need to use it consistently to gradually fade pigmentation. If you're expecting quick results from using it alone, you might be slightly disappointed. Some may find it slightly lacking in hydration: While it contains hyaluronic acid, on dry or cold days, I'd recommend pairing the serum with a cream or oil rather than using it solo.
    For more effective pigmentation care, try layering 2-3 coats of the serum after your toner in your evening routine, followed by a rich cream. Sunscreen is a must! When using the serum regularly in the morning, always pair it with SPF to help prevent dark spots and blemishes. If you have super sensitive skin or are new to the product, start by using a small amount every other day to adjust. For skin without blemishes, gently pat it in daily for long-lasting tone improvement.
