Pros
My skin type is: ✔️ Dehydrated oily ✔️ Presence of redness ✔️ Sensitive skin, so cosmetic products often cause skin troubles 💛 The packaging is pretty. The oval-shaped lid provides a good grip, making it easy to open and close. 💛 Among products with a dropper, many don't work well, but this one has an excellent dropper function. 💛 It has good spreadability, absorption, and leaves the skin feeling moisturized.
Cons
I used it for 4 days and then stopped. 😢 I developed inflammatory acne. After applying it, inflammatory acne started appearing all over my face. Since it coincided with the National Nature Day, I thought the cause might be one of the two, so I decided not to apply the serum for a while. The acne that was getting worse gradually started to improve. 😢 It doesn't seem to work well with my makeup. There's a slight stickiness left on my face, and when I apply makeup on top of it, the makeup tends to slide off and look uneven. I think I would have seen the effects if I had used it consistently, but since I can't use it, it's disappointing.

Pros
The serum comes in a dropper-style bottle and the cap is tightly sealed (it should make a clicking sound when opened and closed). The formula is transparent but has a slight brown tint and a thin, watery consistency. It has a very faint, almost unscented fragrance. For those with extremely dry skin, this serum alone can provide a light, finishing touch to your skincare routine.
Cons
The texture is watery but a bit heavy and sticky, so it feels a bit difficult to spread (personally, I don't like it 🥲) The skin is prone to trouble and sensitive, and while I didn't break out after applying it, it didn't seem to have any effect on my blemishes either. I'll have to use it for a few more weeks to know for sure!

Pros
I was fortunate enough to be selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and was able to try it out. My skin type is acne-prone and troubled, with a lot of blemish marks. 1. Texture? The texture is almost watery, which was great for my oily skin. It felt refreshing and not at all heavy, and I was satisfied using it. 2. Value for money I looked up the price, and it seems to be a good value for the amount of product. The volume is quite generous. 3. Packaging When closing the lid, there is a satisfying 'click' sound, giving me a sense of assurance that the product is properly sealed. This helps keep the cosmetic well-protected. 4. Effectiveness I haven't used it for a long time yet, but I feel it has had some effect on brightening my skin to a certain degree.
Cons
The absorption could be a bit better. It doesn't fully sink in and there is a slightly lingering feeling on the surface, so I had to pat it in more thoroughly.

Pros
Skin concerns Blemish scars, overall pigmentation, patchy skin around the nose and lips My skin type is thin and sensitive! Since I have sensitive skin, I often get small breakouts, and I can't help but extract them, so I always have at least one pigmentation spot. And my skin around the nose and lips is slightly dull, and my skin is generally uneven - that's my skin concern. During this time, I discovered a high-intensity, high-concentration whitening serum! It's the Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum! I found out that it's composed of 4 main ingredients and 2 synergistic ingredients, so it comprehensively cares for the entire process from breakouts to pigmentation. Moreover, it has ingredients that can perfectly care for skin that has become sensitive due to breakouts!! From the day I received the product, I've been using it every night without fail, and the watery formula absorbs quickly and leaves a refreshing finish! Definitely, the soothing ingredients seem to be the reason, as my skin barrier has become stronger, and even in this transitional weather, I don't feel my makeup peeling off or my skin drying out, so I'm ready to look for a new cushion or serum. But this year, thanks to this serum, I haven't felt my skin cracking. After using it consistently, I felt that my overall skin tone has become more refined, and my skin itself has become healthier. 🤍Overall Texture: Watery Absorption: Very fast and refreshing Moisture: Adequate moisture Efficacy: Refines skin tone, strengthens skin barrier
Cons
When I applied it in the evening and it was good, I also applied it before makeup in the morning, but it absorbed well, but it seems that it didn't match well with the cream and sunscreen I use, so there was a slight feeling of the makeup not adhering well and sitting on top. I think that was influenced by the cream I was using.
Tip
I generally applied it all over my face and absorbed it, then applied it again to the uneven areas of my skin or the areas I wanted to focus on. So I think the effects were even better! And according to the usage instructions, it can be used not only on the face but also on the body and elbows to see the effects!!!
