First off, I love that the key ingredients like niacinamide and tranexamic acid can help with brightening and evening out the complexion! With consistent use, I noticed my skin becoming clearer and my skin tone more uniform. After applying it at night, my complexion looked brighter after washing my face in the morning! The cream's texture is thinner than expected, not super thick. However, I liked how it immediately filled my skin with a plump, hydrated feeling upon application. It seems to combat deep dryness well (though it does feel a bit rich). Thanks to soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica extract and Chamomile flower extract, I could use it comfortably without any blemishes, even with my somewhat sensitive skin. It's particularly effective at calming irritated winter skin and providing definite hydration! Personally, I adore the scent. It makes me want to keep using it just for the fragrance (though this might be a matter of personal preference).
ConsThe main drawback for me is that despite absorbing well, it leaves a slightly oily residue after use. Ingredients like caprylic/capric triglyceride and cetyl ethylhexanoate seem to help form a moisturizing barrier, but this might feel a bit heavy for oily skin types. When used in the morning before makeup, the rich texture can cause pilling. Because of this, I found it more suitable for evening routines rather than morning use!

Applies and absorbs well •Perfect for my skin - light yet moisturizing! Two layers provide ample hydration. The oil and moisture balance seems ideal. •Blemish improvement: While I haven't seen significant effects on dark spots yet, my overall complexion appears brighter. This might require at least 2 weeks of use to fully assess.
Cons•Scent: It has a citrus fragrance that reminds me of detergent! Not overpowering, but personally, I don't find it particularly pleasant. •Glass packaging: I appreciate the glass feel, but some might dislike its weight.

It's not too heavy and has a good balance of oil and moisture. Hydration: After application, I felt a refreshing and deeply hydrating sensation. Brightening effect: Although my usage period was short, so I didn't see dramatic results, my skin looks slightly brighter and more even-toned. It seems to have faded some blemish marks. Design: The packaging is sleek and attractive. I appreciate the double-lid design of the cream jar. It's great that the glass container is recyclable too.
ConsNo spatula: The cream comes in a jar without a spatula, so you have to use your fingers to scoop it out. I was a bit concerned about dust getting in. Fragrance: As I usually use fragrance-free cosmetics, the scent felt slightly strong to me. Price: Considering my tight budget, it felt a bit expensive for the amount you get.
TipThis cream seems more suitable for winter use!

It applies just like a hydrating cream! I thought it would be thick since it's a functional cosmetic, but it's just like a regular moisturizer! It's packed with hydration, so I didn't feel dry even when applying it in winter, and it left my skin feeling moisturized without being overly oily. Brightening effect: After a week of use, if you look closely, you can sense that my skin has become slightly brighter from within. I didn't see any effects on dark spots, probably because the usage period wasn't very long. Niacinamide works well for me, so I think I'll see results with consistent use! Gentle on skin: I found it to be non-irritating as it's full of hydration and doesn't contain anything that could cause strong reactions. However, being a functional product, it might aggravate skin conditions if used when your skin isn't in good condition. Scent: It has a fragrance. It smells like Etude's collagen cream. I personally love this scent, so I'm listing it as a plus!
ConsThe packaging: I personally dislike the texture of the container... I wish they would change just the packaging~

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, although it's marketed as a brightening moisturizer, its hydrating power is so impressive that you'd believe it's a dedicated hydrating cream. Even in the dead of winter, with cold winds and chilly air, I could apply just this cream in the morning and feel no oiliness or deep dryness until I got home. Regarding its brightening effects, I was skeptical at first. While it didn't noticeably fade blemishes, after about 7 days of daily use, I noticed around day 5 that my complexion had subtly brightened, making me realize why it's considered a functional brightening cream. The packaging is also lovely - it fits perfectly in one hand and looks beautiful. The texture is similar to a slightly rich hydrating cream. There's a powdery scent, but it's not likely to be polarizing. Personally, I loved the fragrance. Overall, I think this would work especially well for those with dry skin, but even with my combination skin, it worked great without feeling greasy, especially during winter. Highly recommended!
ConsThe downside is that, being a rich hydrating cream with high moisture content, it did feel like it was clogging my pores a bit despite being a basic skincare product. Around day 3, I noticed some small blemishes, like sebum build-up in my pores. Applying it with extra care to ensure absorption helped somewhat, but those with oily skin should keep this in mind!

Its light hydration and oil content make it perfect to apply before makeup, helping your foundation go on smoother. While I haven't seen dramatic brightening effects due to the short usage period, I feel like my face has become noticeably brighter recently. The subtle floral scent is delightful and leaves me in a good mood after application. The packaging is adorably pretty! It would add a touch of elegance to any vanity.
ConsAs it's a functional product, I found it difficult to find clear instructions on whether to apply it during the day or at night. To minimize risks, I only applied it before makeup.
TipThe moisturizing formula pairs well with stiffer sunscreens when applied afterwards.

That's when I began looking for products to address these blemishes. Since using this product, my complexion has brightened, and those dark spots seem to be fading. I think it's really effective! Absorption: ★ It absorbs quickly and feels moisturizing without any tightness after application. With consistent use, I've noticed my skin tone improving, and I love that it doesn't leave a greasy finish. Hydration: ★ It seems suitable for winter use too. Unlike most brightening products that can be drying or cause deep dryness, this one feels fine. It might be slightly dry if used alone, but since it's a brightening product, I'd recommend using a hydrating serum first for better results. Texture: ★ Smooth cream
ConsGiven that many cosmetics these days are unscented, I found the fragrance a bit strong for my liking. The jar packaging made me less inclined to use it regularly. It's also a bit heavy and inconvenient to open and close.
TipIt's easy to use in winter and absorbs quickly, so it would be great to apply before bed. This cream alone might not be enough for both brightening and intense hydration. I'd recommend using a rich, nourishing serum first for the best results.

I have sensitive and oily skin, so I usually avoid products with high oil content as they tend to cause blackhead breakouts. However, using only moisturizer left my skin feeling extremely dry and tight in winter. This product has really improved that! I didn't have high expectations, but I'm very satisfied. It even has a brightening effect, which has significantly improved my complexion. I'm extremely pleased with the results!
ConsCompared to applying regular moisturizer, it's essential to control the amount you use. If you apply too much, you might notice a slight shine on your skin.
TipI think this product is perfect for use during the fall and winter seasons.
