Pros
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.

Pros
This serum helps care for pigmentation issues such as freckles and age spots✨️👏 It's a brown serum with a watery texture🌼*･ While it looks like water, when applied to the skin it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling incredibly moisturized! 😳✨️ It contains ingredients that soothe sensitive skin irritated by stimuli, skin troubles, or UV exposure, so you can use it daily without worrying about your skin condition😊 Lately I've been suffering severely from pollen allergies, with itchy eyes and pronounced symptoms, but this product didn't cause any eye irritation or discomfort, which I'm really pleased about~:)
Cons
Some people may feel it is a bit sticky.

Pros
I purchased it with my own money because it is said to be effective in improving the appearance of pigmentation traces. The formulation is a light brown, completely watery formulation, so it is quickly absorbed and has a lightweight feel! When used on skin discoloration traces, it definitely fades faster than leaving it alone.
Cons
The feel of use itself is light, but it's a bit sticky for a water-based product. It's not exactly a glossy, greasy feel, but more like a coated feel. So I never apply it before makeup, and I tend to use it at night.
Tip
Feels a bit too slick before applying makeup

Pros
I'm currently on my third bottle of the Alpha Arbutin 2% Discoloration Care Serum, and it's working very well for me. The serum is formulated with a combination of 6 effective ingredients for pigmentation and soothing components. It has a refreshing, watery texture that absorbs quickly, leaving a clean finish. There's minimal residue, so it can be used comfortably even in the summer. :)
Cons
The product feels great and the results are excellent, so there are no downsides!

Pros
This has a toner-like texture. It absorbs quickly and when absorbed, the skin becomes plump and it's good for layering. When I only used this, it was a bit drying, so a cream is essential for this serum. I would apply this before makeup. It's that thin and absorbs well. The color is brown and the packaging has a ceramic-like, very luxurious feel. The lid fits perfectly. It's not just a twist-lock, but there's a specific point where it clicks into place securely, which I liked. I couldn't really detect any scent. If I sniff closely, there's a faint scent, but it's not very noticeable.
Cons
I bought it believing the YouTuber's words that just using this and it would completely change my skin tone in 2 weeks, but I regret it. I didn't experience the dramatic effect they described (after using up the whole bottle). First of all, I didn't feel any whitening effect, and the lightening was extremely minimal. I found out later that you need to use arbutin and other suitable serums together for the best results, but I didn't know that. It seems you shouldn't expect too much from this product alone.
Tip
I've heard that using arbutin along with other suitable serums can be effective. Please take this into consideration.

The product applies smoothly, absorbs well, and is recommended for dry skin. The moisturization is also good.
Cons
Since it contains ingredients that are good for whitening, there are also some people around who don't suit it.

Pros
The ampoule has a slightly dense flow without being sticky, and despite containing various whitening ingredients, it applies gently to the skin without irritation and has good absorption, so there is no burden in applying a generous amount. The ingredients are so good and it is easy to use, so I have been using it consistently, and I am experiencing the effect of brightening and clarifying my skin tone.
Cons
Since applying too much can leave a slightly sticky feeling even after completing the skincare routine with the cream, it is best to apply an appropriate amount.

Pros
I've been troubled by blemish marks for a long time, but I decided to try this product because I liked its functionality. The texture is thinner than expected, and it absorbs quickly. I can apply it morning and night without any burden. Using this product and the Noscana gel consistently morning and evening, I've seen significant improvement in my blemishes and am very satisfied!
Cons
The dropper feels slightly inadequate and the bottle is heavy. However, unless you are carrying it for travel, it is not significantly inconvenient!

Pros
I purchased it in early January and have been using it for over a month now. I usually really enjoy the Cosrx brand as their products are very reasonably priced and have great quality. First of all, the dropper packaging is very convenient to use. I can easily dispense the desired amount and it applies nicely without being too sticky or heavy. As you can see, my skin has a lot of redness, but using this product, I've noticed it absorbs well and I can feel the effects, so I plan to continue using it consistently.
Cons
The relatively higher price point compared to other COSRX ampoules is a bit disappointing.
