However, since the product contains vitamin components and is said to have a whitening effect, I decided to try it on my neck to reduce the color difference between my face and neck. 😅 I only applied it to my neck during the Hwahae Trial Reviewers period. While the duration was too short to evaluate the whitening effect, I didn't experience any trouble or breakouts on my neck, which was my main concern. Instead, my skin seemed to have a glow to it, and I felt like the moisture was being delivered deep into my skin, so I felt the product quality was quite good!
ConsThe fragrance was a bit artificial, like an orange flavor... It had a scent reminiscent of children's orange-flavored medicine, which I didn't really like. Apart from that, there were no other disappointments.

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!

Despite the medium texture, the moisture content is surprisingly good. Thin essences often don't make much difference when layered, but this one provides sufficient hydration with just one application. The lotion (serum) alone was enough to keep my skin well-moisturized. I have somewhat sensitive skin, and heavy vitamin-packed products tend to cause breakouts around my chin and nose. But this product didn't irritate my skin at all - in fact, my complexion looked clearer and brighter the next day. (I'm very satisfied that it's a vegan brand!)
ConsFirst, the citrus fruit aroma was incredibly strong! Even though I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, I found it a bit overpowering. Those sensitive to fragrances or those who prefer unscented products may find it a bit burdensome(?).
TipAfter cleansing, apply the skin-> Nordic C Glow Boost Essence-> Serum and lotion-> Finish with a cream! (For oily skin types, you can stop at the essence or use a light lotion during the summer.) The formulas are quickly absorbed, leaving a refreshing finish. For extremely dry skin types, you may feel a bit dry, so layering or finishing with a cream is recommended! I strongly recommend applying sunscreen as well when using this during the day.

It has a moisturizing feel, but also has a certain viscosity, so it properly balances the oil and moisture, and I really liked it! After cleansing, if I apply it twice, it's so moisturizing that I don't even need to apply a cream!! But it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, so I finished with a light cream. Just as the name 'Glow Boosting' suggests, it thoroughly replenishes moisture while creating a supple skin condition that allows the subsequent products to be absorbed well! Also, even though it contains vitamin ingredients, it is not at all irritating or stimulating, and has a gentle feel. The moisturizing formula actually helps cool down the heated, sensitive face. It's great to use in the morning 👍👍 And after using it consistently for about a week, I definitely noticed my complexion becoming brighter. The last photo was taken under different lighting, so it appears more pronounced, but I could really feel my face becoming more radiant!! I'm satisfied with the formula, the feel, and the efficacy, and would repurchase it with my own money. It's hard for me to find a serum that suits my sensitive skin, but this one doesn't cause any breakouts and works great, so I'll be sticking with it for now 🫶🫶
ConsThe fragrance is refreshingly citrusy, yet it strangely makes me feel a bit nauseous. It has a somewhat stationery store-like citrus perfume scent.

Once fully applied, there is a slightly tacky sensation, almost as if a very thin film has formed, though no actual membrane is created. The product is well-absorbed, not floating on the surface. After some time, the initial tackiness dissipates, and the skin feels soft and natural, allowing for comfortable use. While the moisturizing power is decent when used alone, the longevity of the hydration is enhanced when used in conjunction with the user's regular lotion or cream. This combination results in more prolonged moisture retention. Despite having somewhat sensitive skin, there were no issues with redness or blemishes after use. Interestingly, this product did not elicit the same adverse reactions as previous vitamin C products the user had tried, allowing for worry-free application. Although dramatic effects were not immediately noticeable, the skin appeared slightly more refined. Consistent use may lead to an overall brighter complexion, as the user anticipates. Overall, the product performed well, particularly in its ability to be used comfortably on sensitive skin, which was a satisfactory aspect.
ConsThe fragrance I personally experienced was similar to an inexpensive fruit air freshener. Of course, it is not particularly strong and lingering, and it disappears naturally after a short time. For those who are very sensitive to fragrances like myself, it may be a bit bothersome at first.

The good things were the adhesion, spreadability, essence texture, and short-term efficacy. My skin type is on the dry side, but I can also use makeup with oily properties well. Before using, I would first wipe with a moisturizing toner or apply a moisturizing skin. When applying, it had a dense feeling that adhered well to the skin. This dense feeling could be perceived as a bit sticky, but after absorption, the adherence to the skin was accurate. I haven't used it for a long time, so I'm not sure about the big effects, but there was a feeling of brighter and clearer skin tone. I was stressed by small bumps, but after using the basic moisturizer and a few days of essence, the bumps on the nose area gradually disappeared. Compared to other essences, it felt like it was absorbed deep into the skin, so I didn't feel dryness in the skin. When I applied it before bedtime and looked at my skin in the morning, my skin looked dense and plump.
ConsPersonally, the fragrance was a bit disappointing. There was an artificial scent similar to the medicinal smell from when I was younger, which was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after continuous use, it just smelled like oranges. ' For those who do not suit oily cosmetics, it is not recommended. And another point, which is more of a suggestion than a drawback, is that it is better not to apply it before makeup, as the makeup tends to cake. (For those who prefer a dewy makeup look) ' I always used it before bed, and it turned out to be a more satisfying product than I expected.
TipBefore bed, it would be good to cleanse your skin with a non-oily moisturizing toner, then apply a moisturizer and Hwahae essence in that order.

A great product arrived. I've recently become interested in whitening, and was thinking I should buy a Vitamin C essence, so I'm glad a product that fits perfectly came. The texture is really dense and when applied to the skin, it just sticks on. It's much denser than the ampoule I've been using, and adheres to the skin really well, which I liked.
ConsThe disappointing aspect was that the fruit fragrance was too strong. I don't like products with noticeable scents in my skincare, so this was a letdown. But aside from that, it is truly perfect.
TipI've been using it in the evening and am in the process of using it, but I think it would be really great to use it before applying makeup in the morning! The ampoule I used to use had a watery texture, so I felt that the makeup didn't adhere well to the skin. This product (after applying toner) gives me a pleasant feeling that the makeup will really sink into the skin well! I'm so happy to have obtained a good product for free as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer~
