  Pros

  The main function of this product is pigmentation care, so let me start with that. I think I need to use it a bit more to give an accurate assessment, but it seems to be effective! I haven't been able to use it on my face yet because my skin has been irritated recently, but I've been using it on some stubborn discoloration and underarm pigmentation, and those areas have definitely lightened. I'll have to try it on my face to see how my skin reacts, but now that my skin has calmed down, I'll give it a try and provide additional feedback on the level of irritation. The formula is just like water, and it absorbs really well, so it's not at all heavy when I layer other products on top.

  Cons

  During the period of use, I didn't really find any disappointing points, but there's a bit of an alcohol-like smell... ? There seems to be a smell-like thing, so when I apply it to my face, the smell might be disliked.

  Tip

  Apply exfoliation to the pigmented areas, and using it will be more effective! (Chemical exfoliation with gel-type peeling gels is better than physical exfoliation!) And after using it, proper moisturizing seems to enhance the effects☺

  Pros

  Here is the English translation of the Korean text: The skin is complex, with many bumps and redness, sensitive and thin. This is a review after one week of use! ✔️ A lightweight, watery formula ✔️ Fast absorption and non-burdensome finish ✔️ No irritation For products that are not focused on hydration, I prefer a lightweight formula. This product is not a pure water-based formula, but it has a fluid texture that absorbs quickly and leaves a supple finish. Moreover, it's not just refreshing, but also provides a certain level of hydration, which I'm quite satisfied with. (○´∀｀○) I was worried that the alcohol in the ingredients might be irritating for my sensitive, flushed skin, but surprisingly, there was no irritation at all! I thought it might sting a bit since it's a functional product, but I never felt any stinging when applying it. There was no breakout either, and it seems to suit my skin well, which I'm happy about. The glass packaging also feels sturdy, and the dropper separates well, making it easy to recycle after finishing the product. +(About 2 months) After finishing one bottle and finding it good, I bought a second one and have been using it. However, it didn't seem to have much effect on my stubborn pigmentation. But it did improve my overall skin tone, and my skin feels cleaner, so I'll continue to purchase and use it. ( 〃▽〃) +(4 months) Now using my second bottle, the pigmentation on my chin has completely disappeared, and the stubborn pigmentation on my cheekbones has faded. The pigmentation that appeared after a breakout on my forehead also disappeared quickly. I kept applying it whenever I noticed pigmentation, and one day I realized, "Huh, when did that disappear?" I only use it in the evenings, but I'm so satisfied that I've stocked up on two more bottles and will continue using it. It's really great. To be honest, I'm not sure if the stubborn pigmentation faded due to time or because of this product, but I think it did help, and the newer pigmentation spots disappeared quickly, which I'm very satisfied with.

  Cons

  It seems like the effects are not very noticeable since I've only been using it for a week. There are still three spots of pigmentation left on my cheekbones and chin, and I haven't seen any visible effects from using it for a week. I think I'll need to use it for at least a month to see results in terms of whitening or fading pigmentation. (・ω・,,) The product itself is fragrance-free, but when I apply it, I can smell an alcohol scent. It's not too strong, but sensitive individuals may find it irritating.

  Pros

  📍Texture The lightweight, fluid texture allows for easy and comfortable application. The lightweight formula also provides good spreadability. 📍Irritation There is almost no irritation at all. 📍Brightening Effect It helps to soothe and fade existing blemish marks. Even after not using it for a long time, the marks continue to fade noticeably. It effectively reduces redness. 📍Ingredients In addition to skin brightening, the formula contains many ingredients that benefit the overall skin condition, providing a variety of effects. The fact that the targeted effects also help with skin brightening is very satisfactory.

  Cons

  📍Scent There is a slight alcoholic? scent. It's not unpleasant, but the scent gives a somewhat irritating feeling. 📍Oiliness There is a lot of oiliness, similar to a vitamin C ampoule. However, the formula is not heavy. This oiliness may cause breakouts for those with oily skin. 📍Ingredients While my skin is not extremely sensitive and I can use retinol 0.3%, for some reason, when I use this serum, I get the same feeling as when I use a vitamin C ampoule. My skin doesn't break out severely, but I get the sense that it just doesn't agree with my skin. ➕️I really like the COSRX products. I'm on my nth bottle of the booster serum and retinol, but the vitamin C ampoule didn't work for me, so I stopped using it. So I had high expectations for this product, but it's not that the product itself is bad, it just doesn't seem to suit me, which is disappointing.

  Pros

  The texture was great as it absorbed directly into the skin without any stickiness. I also felt that the pigmentation from acne scars lightened slightly, and I think it will continue to lighten with continued use.

  Cons

  I could faintly detect an alcohol scent when using the product, which was a bit bothersome. I also think that those with dry skin may find this product alone to be a bit drying.
