The functional cosmetics were good because they weren't sticky. And they were quite effective on relatively fresh scars. I was really surprised at how effective they were. I felt the effects were even better when I really soaked my skin with it. When it gets a bit dry and tight, applying this definitely makes it softer.
Cons
Old scars seem to have little effect, and layering them multiple times can feel a bit sticky.
Tip
I felt that applying this serum in multiple layers was much more effective.

This product can be used safely for hyperpigmentation. I recommend it.
Cons
My skin lacks moisture and hydration, but the cost-effectiveness is good.

There's not much, just the price. Compared to being not well-known, it's quite good! I have the intention to repurchase.

1. The product is packed with ingredients that simultaneously soothe and brighten the skin, making it very gentle on irritated skin! 🌱 2. The non-sticky, refreshing formula can be used comfortably even on blemish-prone skin, and with consistent use, visible redness or dark spots will gradually fade. 3. It can be used before makeup without causing any slippage, absorbing smoothly into the skin, making it the perfect daily serum! 👍
Cons
While the effects may not be immediate, consistent use is required for visible results, so impatience may lead to disappointment.
Tip
In the first step of skincare, applying it with a cotton pad as a spot treatment allows for targeted care! Especially before and after your period when the skin becomes sensitive, applying it beforehand has a definite calming effect. 💧 Mixing it with a moisturizer and applying it all over, then applying an extra layer on troubled areas, will double the effect! ✨

Even though it is a high-performance product, the formulation was not burdensome. It was watery and absorbed incredibly well, so the next product I applied spread on smoothly. The finish was not sticky but just the right amount of tackiness, so it was good to use before makeup. My skin is sensitive, and I often have a negative reaction to high-performance products, but I didn't feel any irritation or flare-ups with this one. It was satisfactory even when I applied it on skin that wasn't in great condition. The blemish marks I developed while using it seemed to fade faster than usual. I think I'll need to use it for longer to see more definitive results. And the price was not exorbitantly high, which made me even more satisfied with the product.
Cons
I'm using it so well that hardly any disappointing points come to mind.

The application is smooth and the absorption is good. It seems to have a whitening effect.

It absorbs quickly without stickiness, and with consistent use, it helps refine skin texture, manage blemish scars, and improve skin tone.
Cons
The price is a bit high, so I probably won't buy it with my own money again.

I really like it. I bought it because I was stressed out due to the traces. But I can see that my skin is also getting brighter, which is great. However, the effects don't show up immediately, so it seems like I need to use it for about 2-3 months to see the results.
Cons
The water flows quickly, so you need to mix it right away after cooking...

I purchased this product twice out of my own pocket! The texture is slightly more viscous than water, but much lighter than a typical serum. It glides on smoothly and can be easily applied, even in a hurry in the morning. It has almost no scent, so it should be comfortable for those sensitive to fragrances. The key ingredient that I was most excited about is the high concentration - 2% Arbutin and 5% Niacinamide. After application, it leaves a pleasant level of moisture without any stickiness or heavy oiliness, allowing for a clean finish that doesn't interfere with makeup application. Another great aspect is that it can be used morning and night without having to time it like a vitamin serum, making it easy to incorporate into my routine. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a non-sticky, refreshing whitening treatment to consistently improve their skin tone.
Cons
The effects may not drastically change in a short period, but if you use it consistently for more than a month, you'll feel your skin tone improving. I wanted faster changes, so I used it along with other products, and the synergistic effect was definitely good.
Tip
It seems like layering it multiple times when used alone would be great!
