The hydration is fantastic!
ConsIt's a bit tricky to apply since it's quite runny and tends to drip from the dropper onto your skin. But aside from that minor inconvenience, everything else about it is great.

Instead, it leaves a slightly firm finish. I've noticed it even helps lighten pigmentation.
ConsThe texture is so similar to water that it often runs down and drips onto the floor as soon as you apply it to your skin, which is disappointing. Other than that, I don't have any complaints.

I bought this because I was super stressed about blemish marks. It's great - I can see my skin getting brighter too. Just keep in mind that the effects aren't instant. You'll probably need to use it for about 2-3 months before seeing noticeable results.
ConsThe liquid formula runs quickly, so you need to rub it in immediately after squeezing it out...

I think it would be beneficial for sensitive skin or those with visible pores.
ConsIt might be a bit drying for winter use, but the texture is very fluid, almost water-like. It seems to provide good hydration.

The alpha-arbutin serum's key ingredients target every aspect of the melanin production and deposition process, effectively addressing hyperpigmentation and blemish marks, which I find quite impressive.
ConsIt's on the thinner side, so it tends to run a bit, giving it a somewhat lightweight feel.
TipSoaking a cotton pad and using it as a mask gives an extra brightening effect.

My main skin concerns are large pores and acne scars, and I have combination dehydrated skin that's prone to blemishes and is super sensitive. In the photos below, the first one shows my bare face, and the second is after a week of use. While the change isn't dramatically drastic, I did notice that the blemish marks have faded a bit. I also appreciated the hydration it provided, and the fact that it didn't cause any new breakouts after application.
ConsThe texture is extremely watery, with almost no viscosity to speak of. When using the dropper, you need to press it slowly, otherwise the serum will run all the way down to your chin in one go. One disappointing aspect, though I'm not sure if this is common for all COSRX serums, is that the dropper is incredibly short. This means you can't draw up enough product in one go to apply, so you have to dip it into the bottle multiple times.

However, this one has left me thoroughly impressed both during and after use. The light, watery texture feels refreshing and non-irritating. Thanks to its hyaluronic acid, arbutin, and madecassoside content, I experienced immediate hydration and soothing effects. It's like it strikes the perfect balance between moisturizing and refreshing! Just a drop or two on the back of my hand, gently patted in, and voila - my skin becomes instantly smooth and hydrated. You can literally see it working, which gives such a satisfying placebo effect for skin improvement. Lately, with the changing seasons, I've been worried about my skin becoming rough and my blemishes becoming more noticeable. I'm on day 7 of using this serum, and surprisingly, my makeup application for work has been impeccably smooth. You know that feeling when your skin looks good and it boosts your mood for the entire day? That's exactly it! As a serum nomad who's tried countless highly-rated products, I've finally found my match with COSRX Care Serum! Once I finish this bottle, I'm definitely repurchasing with my own money. I'm already on the lookout for discount events to stock up!
Cons- Personally, I wish it had a slight fragrance. - Those who prefer a thick, bouncy serum texture might not appreciate the initial runny consistency.

ConsThe packaging doesn't look as luxurious as I expected. The consistency is quite watery, which is a bit disappointing.
TipI think it would work even better if used together with Nosta or ointments you can get from the pharmacy.

Let me start by describing my skin type before diving into the review. I have super sensitive skin and typical combination dehydrated skin concerns. Depending on my skin's condition, I sometimes get major blemishes too. As a result, I have quite a few blemish marks. Keep this in mind as you read my review! Packaging: The white and black packaging is clean and minimalist. The ampoule bottle feels like opaque ceramic, and the dropper is a bit on the smaller side. Overall, I'm satisfied with the packaging! Scent: It's nearly fragrance-free, which makes it even better to use! Even those extremely sensitive to fragrances should be able to use this comfortably. Texture and absorption: It has a slightly yellowish tint and a very fluid consistency. At first, I was worried it might feel sticky since it's a brightening product, but that wasn't the case at all! While it does run down your face quickly when applied, it absorbs incredibly fast - almost instantly! The best part is that it absorbs quickly and leaves a fresh finish! There's absolutely no stickiness, which I love. Usually, brightening products lack hydration, but this one feels sufficiently moisturizing. It absorbs quickly and finishes fresh, yet I didn't feel any dryness afterward. Instead, my skin felt continuously hydrated. I can confidently say this has the best texture among all the brightening products I've tried. Effectiveness: Since it's a product for fading marks, we have to discuss its effectiveness, right? Honestly, I didn't expect much because the texture was so nice, but I saw significant improvement in my blemish marks! Coincidentally, I had some noticeable blemish marks when the product arrived, and now as I'm writing this review, those marks have almost disappeared. I didn't take any before photos, so I can't attach pictures, but anyway, after using this product, my facial redness has reduced significantly, and it's been very effective on my blemish marks. I plan to repurchase! Ingredients: I used it every morning and evening and didn't experience any major blemishes. The fact that it didn't cause blemishes on my extremely sensitive skin and even improved my marks shows how gentle the ingredients are!
ConsThe only downside is that the texture is so runny that it can be a bit surprising at first. Other than that, no complaints!
TipIf you use it consistently every morning and evening, your complexion becomes clearer! Consistency seems to be key with everything!

Brightening effect My skin looks clearer! It's not just my imagination - after using it for a little over a week, I've received quite a few compliments on how my complexion has become fairer. My skin had darkened after a Southeast Asian trip, but thanks to this serum, I feel like my original skin tone has been restored. 2. Blemish care I understand the product's main focus is on blemish care, and I feel like the hormonal blemishes I had have calmed down quickly. Usually, after extracting acne during that time, I'd have dark marks or scars lasting for days, but while using this product, I didn't notice any such traces! 3. Texture improvement I'm not sure if this product is truly effective for texture improvement, but when I touch my skin, it feels somewhat softer and smoother! It's as if I've exfoliated without actually doing so... 4. User experience It has a water-like, runny serum texture. Usually, these types of formulas can be extremely drying or feel suffocating like an oil film, right? This serum seems to have a good balance of oil and hydration. Since it's a completely fluid serum, I've been using it as a first step like an essence toner without using a separate toner. I can move on to the next step without any dry or heavy feeling.
ConsIf I really had to nitpick, I'd say the lack of viscosity...? I usually apply serums directly to my face with the dropper, but this one is so runny that it drips right off. After it got into my eyes while applying it to my forehead, I now dispense 2 dropper-fulls onto my palm to use it.
TipSince it has almost no viscosity, I skip the toner and use this as my first step, then layer other functional serums on top!
