Quick absorption: The lightweight formula absorbs rapidly into the skin, leaving a fresh finish without any stickiness! 2. Radiance: After using it consistently for two weeks, I noticed my skin looked more luminous and vibrant. It might be a placebo effect, but I definitely felt a difference! 3. Natural ingredients: It contains cloudberry and vitamin C, which are said to be gentle on the skin and offer excellent antioxidant benefits! 4. Improved complexion: With continued use, I noticed my skin tone becoming more even. I'm not exaggerating when I say I truly felt my skin looked brighter! 5. Subtle fragrance: I loved the fresh, not overpowering scent.
ConsAreas for improvement: 1. Lack of hydration: For dry skin in winter, it may not provide enough moisture on its own, requiring additional hydrating products. 2. Varies by skin type: As someone with sensitive skin, I experienced a slight tingling sensation initially due to the vitamin C content. It wasn't exactly a stinging feeling, more like a warm sensation! 3. Price point: The cost might seem a bit high for the amount you get. 4. Limited short-term effects: Rather than instant results, consistent use is necessary. The effects might be subtle with short-term use. I applied it morning and night for two weeks and noticed a slight brightening of my complexion. This observation comes from daily photo documentation and close monitoring!
TipOverall, I'm satisfied with the natural glow and skin tone improvement, but the value for money aspect leaves a bit to be desired!

In the photo, the right side is where I applied it, and the left side is untreated! The essence initially feels like a runny serum, but it changes once applied! It has an incredibly bouncy and elastic texture that makes your face feel extra hydrated and truly gives you that vitamin C glow. It's not one of those lightweight essences that just seems to evaporate! This makes it suitable for daily care, and when used generously as a night treatment before cream, it makes your skin look noticeably brighter the next morning. There's a visible difference in skin vitality between days when I use it and days when I don't (probably due to the glow it imparts). It's become a staple in my skincare routine. Applying makeup over this essence gives a more polished finish! The essence has a refreshing orange or yuzu scent. The combination of texture and fragrance really gives the sensation of infusing your face with vitamin C, which I absolutely love.
ConsDespite having somewhat sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes during the two weeks of use! To be honest, I didn't notice any particular downsides.
TipI found that layering it twice with a short interval before applying cream was particularly effective. After the first application absorbed, applying it again made my skin look even more firm and gave it an inner glow!

I applied this product to those areas and let it absorb. It absorbs quickly, and the way it gives your skin a glow is definitely a plus. When I applied it after cleansing, when my skin felt really tight, that tightness disappeared! I used this for about two weeks, once in the morning and once at night after my toner, and I definitely noticed my skin texture improving significantly.
ConsThere weren't any real downsides, but if I had to mention one thing, it would be that after applying and letting it absorb, the formula left my skin feeling slightly sticky.

With this product, I first patch tested on my neck and hands to check for any tingling sensation. Thankfully, when I applied it to my face, it didn't cause any blemishes. True to its name 'Glow Boost Essence', it's incredibly hydrating and gives an amazing glow after application. I'd recommend this to anyone dealing with deep dryness and uneven skin tone.
ConsThe texture is quite sticky, almost like glue! The scent is a fresh orange citrus, which might be hit or miss for some, but I found it refreshing (though it doesn't linger long).
TipDue to its sticky texture, it's a bit much to use as a final step. It works better applied in the middle of your routine, like during the serum stage, then followed up with a cream or another product to reduce the stickiness and improve absorption. I mostly use it at night, but since it contains vitamin C, if you use it during the day, make sure to finish with sunscreen.

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.ProsI was lucky enough to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and got to try this product out. First off, the scent might be divisive. It has a strong citrus fragrance which I personally didn't care for. After using it for a week, I noticed that it addressed my skin's deep dryness and gave my face a subtle Inner Glow. My overall complexion also became brighter. I had some small bumps on my forehead, but when I used this along with acne ointment and powder products, the bumps noticeably decreased! It seems to have balanced my skin's oil and moisture levels by tackling the deep dryness. Since vitamin C is an active ingredient, some people might experience a slight tingling when first applying it, but I didn't feel any irritation. As you can see in the photo, the texture is runny, like a nasal discharge. It's more viscous compared to other essences, and you only need to apply a tiny amount. You don't need to layer it as it provides ample hydration on its own. I gently patted it into my skin to help it absorb, then followed with an emulsion. The next morning, my face looked noticeably brighter! Personally, I recommend applying it in the evening rather than the morning. If you do use it in the morning, be sure to use just a small amount for a light application, which should work well under makeup.
ConsThe price is quite steep, and the citrus scent makes me a bit queasy. I wouldn't recommend this to those who dislike any stickiness. No matter how diligently you try to absorb it, there's still a lingering sticky feeling.
TipFor morning use, just apply 5 drops and let it absorb well - your makeup will go on smoothly! In the evening, layering with a light moisturizer is more than enough!

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.ProsThe scent is amazing, and it absorbs well without feeling sticky! After applying, there's a pleasant tightening sensation, and it feels like something is filling in under the skin. I think it would be great for those with dry skin. It makes the skin feel slightly firm and plump, and on days I use it, my makeup seems to apply better! Also, it gives a subtle glow when applied, so I've been getting compliments on my improved skin, which is wonderful.
ConsIt doesn't absorb quickly, so you have to wait quite a while before applying other products like moisturizer on top, which can be a bit inconvenient. If you apply other products before it's fully absorbed, there's a slight pilling effect, and some products can bunch up, which is a bit disappointing. Also, I used it with my husband who has oily skin, and I think those with oily skin should be careful as it might cause blemishes.

I love sweet fragrances, so I was satisfied. ✅ Application The consistency is moderately thin, which is great because it doesn't drip when applying. ✅ Absorption It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. I liked that it's not sticky, and after application, my skin feels firm. ✅ Overall Experience Right after application, my skin has a glow. After using it consistently for about two weeks, I feel like my skin has become slightly brighter. It seems to be effective, which justifies its high price.
ConsThere weren't any particular downsides, but since it's winter, you might need to apply an additional moisturizer to avoid dryness if using this alone. I didn't experience any blemishes while using it. The price seems a bit high, so it might be difficult to use regularly.
TipIt feels great to first hydrate deeply with a moisture-rich toner and serum, then layer this product on top. It creates a feeling of having both inner hydration and an outer moisture barrier. Since it contains Vitamin C, I mainly used it before bed rather than in the morning.

I was worried Vitamin C products might be harsh, but this one is truly gentle and absorbs with a moisturizing feel! The lightweight and fresh formula absorbs quickly without any stickiness, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth. I could use it in the morning without any issues. 👍 Hydration & Glow Effect After use, my skin definitely looks more hydrated and vibrant. With consistent application, I feel like my complexion has naturally become clearer! 👍 Gentle Use Without Irritation Even with my dry and sensitive skin, it worked well without causing any blemishes. It feels comfortably accepted by the skin without irritation, making it great for daily consistent use. 👍 No Pilling Before Makeup Thanks to its quick absorption and velvety hydration, makeup applies better without pilling or flaking. The texture is also nicely elastic. I recommend this to those who found Vitamin C products intimidating before, or anyone looking for clear and vibrant skin! The scent is especially lovely - a fragrant orange aroma.
Cons💡 Moisturizing, but effects need more observation 👎 Good hydration, but minimal glow effect While it's definitely moisturizing and refreshing when applied, the noticeable glow or skin tone improvement I expected wasn't as significant. 👎 Quick absorption, but might be slightly drying? Although it provides hydration, when used alone it left a bit of dryness, so I had to make sure to apply a moisturizing cream with it. If you have dry skin, you might need to use it with a hydrating product! For reference, I have extremely dry skin! Overall, while the gentle and lightweight feel is nice, if you're expecting immediate Vitamin C effects, you might find this product somewhat disappointing! However, 4.5 for 30ml is quite expensive. Please offer more discounts, even for those considering repurchasing!

They have three lines: Nordic C, Hydra, and Bloom. I tried the Nordic C Glow Boost Essence, and I must say, it's impressive! What I loved about this product is how it provides intense hydration to the skin and gives it a beautiful glow. In fact, after using this product, I received compliments on how good my complexion looked! With consistent use, this product is said to even brighten your skin tone. Another thing I really appreciated is that it's eco-friendly. They use vitamin C extracted from Nordic cloudberries and other natural ingredients. As for the texture - when you first apply it, you might think, 'Oh, is it a bit sticky?' But if you gently pat it in for a few more seconds, that stickiness completely disappears. If you look at the before and after photos, you can see how my skin went from looking dry and dull to being visibly hydrated and plump! I'm absolutely thrilled with this product!
ConsIf you're looking for noticeable results, you might need to use it for at least two weeks.
TipI highly recommend this for those who feel their skin looks a bit dull lately! I suggest trying different Lumene products from the line that best suits your skin type.
