ConsWhen applied properly and absorbed, there is no such feeling, but it's a pity that the finishing touch is slightly sticky.

It was blotchy... 🥹 My skin was sensitive, so I had been avoiding other vitamin C products for a while. 🥶 I had experienced a burning sensation or breakouts when using vitamin C products before, so I was hesitant, but it was very gentle!!! 💗 It's gentle for sensitive skin that is allergic to fragrances and other additives: The color is almost colorless and transparent, and the fragrance is very mild. A light soapy? scent, but refreshing. 🧼 It absorbs completely and doesn't peel or sit on the surface: It has a slightly viscous and glossy texture, so it absorbs completely after a while (refer to the product image), and even when I apply a moisturizing cream or lotion on top, it sinks in smoothly. It doesn't clump or peel when layering other products, making it easy to layer. 🧴 It calms redness and evens out skin tone: While calming is not its main function, it unexpectedly evened out my skin tone very well. 💖 My skin looks brighter: Since my skin is already quite fair, the product didn't make me look whiter, but it made my skin look more radiant and even-toned. 🌞
ConsRight after application, there is a slightly tacky and sticky feeling, and absorption is quite slow. 😟 I applied 4 drops using 1 pump of the dropper, and it took about 10 minutes for the product to be fully absorbed across my entire face. Even after absorption, the application is not entirely even, and there are some shiny spots in certain areas.✨
TipEspecially when applying a moisturizer containing ceramides, it seems to be well-suited and keep the skin hydrated even in the winter.

Skin type: combination It has a bit of viscosity but spreads well. When I used the night care routine of serum + Nordic essence + moisturizer, it was quite nourishing and moisturizing, so my skin felt a bit overloaded the next morning. Switching to serum + Nordic essence / Nordic essence + moisturizer worked well. 👍 I was hoping my skin would brighten up due to the vitamin content, but I didn't notice a significant difference in 2 weeks, so I think I need to use it for a month to see the results. The scent is a typical refreshing citrus fragrance of vitamins. The scent is not unpleasant and feels natural, which I liked.
ConsThose who use multiple ampoules and serums should not use the first one. It ends up feeling sticky, and the skin has difficulty absorbing the products applied afterward.

It has a slightly orange-like or vitamin-like scent that I find pleasant when applying it. While my skin is somewhat sensitive, I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts when using it. I mainly use it as part of my nighttime skincare routine, and would recommend applying it in the evenings rather than mornings.
ConsThe formulation is somewhat sticky, so if applied excessively, it can leave a tacky feeling not only on the face but also on the hands. Therefore, if you prefer a lightweight essence texture, this product may not be suitable.

I applied this product and absorbed it into the affected areas. It absorbs quickly, and the glow it gives the skin seems to be an advantage. After cleansing, when my skin felt very tight, applying this helped the tightness disappear!! I've been using this once in the morning and once at night for almost 2 weeks, and it has definitely reduced the skin's uneven texture and improved my skin.
ConsThe only downside was that after applying and absorbing the product, it left a slightly sticky residue on the skin.

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 have combination skin with frequent blemishes, so I've been interested in whitening products but was worried that using the wrong ones would cause breakouts, so I was anxious about it. So I tested the product on my neck and the back of my hand first to see if there was any stinging reaction, and ended up using it. As a result, there were no breakouts on my face, and as the name suggests, the Glow Boost Essence is incredibly hydrating and leaves a radiant glow after application. I'd recommend this to those with dry skin and uneven skin tone.
ConsThe formula is almost as sticky as glue, haha. The scent is orange citrus, and it seems to be quite polarizing, but I personally liked the refreshing fragrance (though it doesn't last very long).
TipThe formula is sticky, so it's difficult to apply in the final step. However, if you apply it in the ampoule step and then finish with a cream or other product, the stickiness will be reduced and absorption will be better. I usually apply it at night, but since it contains vitamin C, it would be good to finish with sunscreen if applying during the day.

The strong citrus scent was not to my liking. ⭐️After using it for a week, my skin's inner dryness was alleviated, and my face had a subtle inner glow. My overall complexion also appeared brighter. ⭐️I had a few small bumps on my forehead, but when I used it along with an acne ointment and powder product, the bumps significantly reduced! It seems to have helped balance my oil and moisture levels. ⭐️The vitamin C is a functional cosmetic ingredient, so it may sting a bit when first applied, but I personally did not experience that. ⭐️The texture is like a runny serum that flows down easily. It's more viscous than other essences, so a little goes a long way. Layering is not necessary as it hydrates sufficiently on its own. ⭐️I found that gently patting it into my skin and then applying a moisturizer made my face look brighter the next day. ⭐️Personally, I would recommend using it in the evening rather than the morning. If using it in the morning, be sure to apply it lightly so it doesn't interfere with makeup application.
ConsThe price is too expensive and the citrus scent is a bit nauseating. Those who dislike a slight stickiness are not recommended. No matter how diligently you absorb it, the stickiness never goes away.
TipIn the morning, just apply a light 5 drops and let it absorb, and your makeup will apply well! In the evening, layering with a refreshing moisturizer is enough!

My skin is a bit dry, but after using this product, I can really feel the moisture in my skin :) The fragrance is something people tend to have mixed opinions on, but I personally found it to be pleasant and refreshing!
ConsThe texture may feel slightly sticky, but otherwise there are no other issues.
Tipi referenced other people's reviews and in the evening, after using the product, i finished with a moisturizer, and my skin felt refreshing until bedtime. the next day, my makeup also went on well. haha

When I apply this essence and add something else on top, my skin becomes incredibly moisturized and feels great. The fragrance is not an artificial cosmetic smell, but rather a fruity scent, so I can apply it without any aversion. Since it contains vitamin C, after using the product diligently for almost a week, my skin that was tanned from a trip to Thailand feels like it has recovered to some extent.
ConsPersonally, I enjoy a clean and refreshing finish, but I'm a bit disappointed by the sticky feeling.

The effects: After cleansing in the morning, I used it after toner and it felt light. Then I applied lotion and finished my skincare routine with a soothing cream. Before using the product, I felt discomfort from quick dryness in the dry winter, but after using it, the internal dryness and tightness were greatly reduced. Also, I could see my skin becoming brighter with consistent use, so I plan to continue using it regularly.
ConsThe product has a slightly sticky and tacky feel, but it improves over time. For those with dry skin, applying a cream after using this product can help reduce dryness. Using this product alone may lead to a sense of dryness. All products need to be absorbed into the skin at each step, and this product is no exception. If you apply a creamy, lotion-like formula without allowing proper absorption, the skin may not fully absorb the product, leaving a surface-level feel.
