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
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Pros: The skin tone is radiant! 🌟 With consistent use, my skin has become progressively clearer and brighter. Freckles and blemishes have also gradually improved, which made me feel great. The brightening effect is definitely noticeable! 😊 Suitable for sensitive skin! Even with my sensitive skin, it absorbs gently without any irritation. After application, my skin feels moisturized and doesn't become red, so I'm really satisfied! 💖 Lightweight formula! The texture is not sticky, so it gets absorbed quickly. I can apply makeup right after using it without any discomfort. The lightweight feel is the best! 😎
Cons
Drawbacks: It takes time! ⏳ You need to use it consistently to see the effects, so if you expect big changes right away, you may be disappointed. Please be patient and wait a little at a time! The price is a bit burdensome! 💸 It's a good product, but the price is a bit high. You may need to consider your budget when making a purchase!
Tip
Usage tips: Apply the serum evenly on your face and gently pat it with your fingertips for better absorption! 💆‍♀️ Sunscreen is a must! Be sure to apply sunscreen when using this serum! ☀️ Otherwise, the effects may be diminished! Overall review: I'm really pleased that I can feel my skin becoming clearer and more radiant! 💕 It's suitable for sensitive skin and has a lightweight formula, making it great for daily use! However, it does require some time and the price is a bit high, but it's an excellent product overall! 😍

Pros
I felt the effect of my skin tone becoming evenly brighter. The arbutin ingredient seemed to help care for my skin's excessive pigmentation, freckles, and blemishes. The serum was light and absorbed quickly, allowing me to use it without burdening my skin, and after applying it, my skin became smooth and moisturized. With consistent use, my skin felt clearer and brighter, and the overall tone of my face became more evenly balanced.
Cons
This product was quite satisfactory for those who want to intensively care for pigmentation. With consistent use, I felt that the skin tone and brightness would improve.

Pros
My skin tends to retain marks and blemishes once they appear. However, while it didn't seem effective on older marks, the recent blemishes caused by popping pimples disappeared within a week or two! So, in addition to the one I'm currently using, I've stocked up on 2 more. I've tried many skin-brightening and spot-fading products, but this is the first time I've seen such results. 👍🏻
Cons
I've been using it since it was first released, and there's nothing I'm dissatisfied with yet.
Tip
Normally: Cream Skin - COSRX Arbutin Serum - Cream Ampoule - Various Creams After Trouble: Same as Cream Ampoule - CNP Barrier Cream

Pros
Effective for brightening and acne scar care. It's non-irritating and watery, so I can use it day and night.
Cons
There's a slightly sticky feel to it. It doesn't interfere with the usability.

Pros
I used the serum and felt a noticeable improvement in my skin the very next day! My skin feels softer and more supple, if I had to describe it. These days, with the changing seasons, my skin has been getting even drier. But when I applied the COSRX care serum, my skin became so moisturized - I'm extremely satisfied. Plus, it seems to have a brightening effect, making my complexion look clearer. It's such a luxurious product, I think it would make a wonderful gift as well!!!
Cons
I haven't noticed any shortcomings yet! In fact, I was impressed by the meticulous packaging and the easily removable stickers, which seem to show consideration for the environment.
Tip
After applying serum and lotion, I can really feel my skin improving dramatically the next day!!!

Pros
🤍 The 50ml capacity and dropper format make it convenient and hygienic to use. 🤍 After using it for over a month, as a whitening cosmetic product, it helped brighten my skin that got tanned from overseas travel more quickly, and also had the effect of lightening acne scars and blemishes. 🤍 The formula is almost as runny as water, with a smooth and fast-absorbing application that doesn't leave a sticky feeling. 🤍 I'm sensitive to scents, but the fragrance was not overpowering, so even sensitive users should be able to use it well. 🤍 I was fortunate to be selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program and receive the product. I was in need of a whitening cosmetic, and I'm grateful to be using it well.👍
Cons
It seems that to see the whitening effect, it is necessary to use it consistently for a longer period of time, so it may not be suitable for those who want to see the effect quickly in the short term. Please keep in mind that there may be individual differences!
Tip
The formulation is relatively lightweight like water, so if you apply it after your skin care, it will be absorbed more effectively!

Pros
Sensitive skin. Oily. Redness. Acne. When I first used cosmetics, I was very sensitive and my skin was easily irritated. I had given up on using makeup products or vitamin serums because they would cause breakouts, but surprisingly, this product didn't cause any trouble at all. I was anxious and observed it for a few days, but there were no breakouts. It's recommended for sensitive skin, too. If used consistently, it seems to be effective for whitening and scar care.
Cons
In the case of dry skin, during this time of year, it may feel dry if used alone.
Tip
It's great to use along with a hydrating serum!!

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
