Pros
The fluid-type formula flows smoothly, making it not burdensome and quickly absorbed. In the winter, my skin would get very flushed and uneven, but this product helped control the redness and evened out my skin tone, which was great.
Cons
It's stimulating and dry. I was surprised that it stung more than I expected when I first applied it. As soon as I put it on, my skin feels like it's drying out. When my skin is still in an ambiguous condition, irritation and blemishes still come up.
Tip
The red traces were effective and felt just as stimulating. If your skin is not sensitive, you will likely be satisfied and use it well.

Pros
- The product contains many ingredients that are good for brightening and improving the complexion, and the concentration is not too high, so I felt I could use it without any burden! - Since the brand itself is a trusted brand, I can use it without any worries. - When I applied a few drops to my skin, it was very soft and absorbed well! (I thought it would be sticky, haha) - This is a product that shows effects with long-term use, so it's difficult to see immediate whitening or brightening results, but I plan to use it consistently and leave a review on my personal SNS in the future!
Cons
On the first day I applied it to my face, the unfamiliar ingredients may have caused a few small pimples to appear the next day. But after that, no more breakouts have occurred and I've been using it well!
Tip
Use it on your body as well! I've been using it not only on my face, but also on my arms and legs that got tanned during my summer vacation. Haha

Pros
Despite my severe acne pigmentation, I did not see any effects on the pigmentation after using it for only 2 weeks. However, I was able to feel that my skin tone became brighter. The texture is watery and I can feel the moisture, with a slight oiliness.
Cons
Dry skin required a moisturizing cream to provide additional hydration.

Pros
I was originally using the CosRX vitamin serum well, but it was tricky to refrigerate, and I happened to win this product, so I've been using it consistently! While I couldn't feel any dramatic effects due to the short usage period, as a sensitive-skinned person, I felt good that I didn't experience any breakouts. The texture wasn't heavy, and it worked well with any cream I applied. For reference, I'm using it together with the Zeroid cream! The ingredients also seem good, so I think those with sensitive skin can use this product without any issues. I'll update the review after finishing the entire bottle!!
Cons
After using this product and then applying makeup, it's fine at first, but over time the makeup becomes bumpy around the nose and chin areas. I'm not sure if it's because the product doesn't pair well with powder, or if it's just a temporary dryness due to the changing seasons, but I'm going to try using it only at night.

Pros
- I don't like sticky textures, but this watery serum absorbs quickly and has minimal stickiness, which I liked! - The scent is almost non-existent, so it was easy for me to use as someone sensitive to fragrances. - The appearance of my deep, prominent scars seems to have lightened a bit.
Cons
- After using this, cystic acne suddenly erupted all over my face... 😢 Since this serum was the only new addition to my daily routine, it seems like it just didn't agree with my skin. While the short-term use did seem to lighten my scars a bit, the acne breakout caused by it has made me discontinue using it for now..!
Tip
- For those of you with sensitive, acne-prone skin like mine, please do test it out or check the ingredients carefully before purchasing!!

Pros
When choosing a product, I always prioritize the ingredients, and this one passes with flying colors! It's unscented, which I really appreciate. The formula is lightweight and absorbs easily without any stickiness, and I can apply it multiple times without any issues.
Cons
Even though the ingredients are good, some products can cause small bumps to appear, and this one has left my skin red and with pimples. 😢 I can't use it every day after cleansing, and I only apply it every other day. The brightening effect is something I'll have to wait and see, but it's a bit disappointing.

Pros
It seems to have decent usability when applied in the summer. In the fall and winter, it feels a bit lacking, so it's best to apply it lightly and then add a cream on top. The large volume means it will last a long time.
Cons
It's too runny and inconvenient as it keeps dripping out. The consistency is a bit... I thought it wouldn't be irritating, but since it keeps dripping out, I'm not sure how much I've applied... After using it, I got some painful cystic acne... Ouch, it's really painful. The effects aren't as brightening as vitamin C, so I'm not sure about it. The effects seem a bit minimal, and there's a slight fragrance too. After trying a few products here, the peptides seem similar but better.
