It absorbs really well and has a nice, bouncy texture. The absorption is truly impressive - it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry, but instead makes it feel hydrated and supple. It's so convenient to use, and the size is perfect for carrying around.
ConsI wish it came in a larger size. It's so good that I use it every day, and it runs out too quickly... That's a bit disappointing.
TipOn days when I don't use a sheet mask, I apply this essence right after cleansing with toner. It leaves my skin feeling as hydrated as if I'd used a mask!

But this felt incredibly gentle without any tingling at all! After using it morning and night, I noticed my complexion brightening by day 3! Though it's 30ml, using 3 drops from the dropper should last about two months. It's meant to be applied first after cleansing, with a serum-like texture that's slightly thicker than toner. I'd definitely consider repurchasing this. This review is being posted a month later due to phone screen issues, but I wanted to share my experience✨
ConsIf I had to nitpick, the amount is small... But compared to the price of drugstore products?
TipI used this first thing after cleansing, morning and night, followed by other products. Despite its consistency, it doesn't interfere with the absorption of other products, which is great!

For night care, when I layered ampoule + Nordic essence + moisturizer, it felt too rich and nourishing, so my skin 'rejected' it by morning. Switching to ampoule + Nordic essence or Nordic essence + moisturizer worked great. I was hoping the vitamin content would brighten my complexion, but I couldn't see a big difference in two weeks. It might take a month to tell. The scent is a typical fresh citrus smell from the vitamins. I liked that it felt natural and not off-putting.
ConsIf you use multiple ampoules and serums, don't use this as your first step. It finishes sticky, making it difficult for the skin to absorb products applied afterwards.

This product has: • A gentle, smooth application • No sticky residue • Absorbs well, leaving skin hydrated
Cons• An artificial orange scent lingers (I'm not a fan of fragrances, so I was disappointed when the artificial orange scent wafted out upon opening and remained after application. However, it wasn't noticeable when layered under other serums or emulsions, which was somewhat tolerable) • The ingredients aren't the best, so I was a bit concerned about skin absorption • Caused blemishes (I'm not sure if it was due to using multiple new products simultaneously or introducing something my skin wasn't used to, but I developed both acne and small bumps. Suspecting this product might be the culprit, I continued using it for about a week before discontinuing) -This review was written as part of The Hwahae Testers program-
TipThe serum isn't watery, so it's fine to apply directly to your face!

The scent is slightly orangey, like vitamins, which makes it pleasant to apply. Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation or blemishes. I mainly use it for my nighttime skincare routine and would recommend using it in the evening rather than in the morning.
ConsThe texture is a bit sticky, so if you apply too much, it can leave a tacky feeling not just on your face but also on your hands. If you prefer lightweight essences, you might find this slightly disappointing.

First off, the texture is rich and creamy, it's colorless, and has a lovely, pleasant scent! I was initially worried that the fragrance might not suit my sensitive skin, but it turned out to be a perfect match! The primary reason I recommend this is its hydrating power. As someone with sensitive, dry skin prone to redness and irritation, I found that after applying this serum, not only did my complexion improve, but my skin felt wonderfully moisturized! With increased hydration, my blemishes also significantly reduced. Secondly, it's gentle! From experience, I've always been wary of vitamin serums, expecting at least a slight tingling sensation. However, this product absorbed smoothly without any irritation, which was very satisfying. (Of course, everyone's skin is different, so I highly recommend doing a patch test before use!) Thirdly, the design is fantastic! The packaging is so luxurious that it would make a great gift for a friend without breaking the bank. The matte orange bottle with its white dropper cap is truly beautiful! Having sensitive skin that often reacts with localized rashes to unsuitable products, I'm quite particular about my skincare choices. I'm thrilled to have found a product that provides both vitamin benefits and hydration without any irritation.
ConsThere weren't really any downsides! I wanted to mention something, but I can't think of anything negative. While I wouldn't say the effects were absolutely mind-blowing, I feel like I've seen the maximum possible benefits without any irritation. Oh, it might be a bit heavy for those with oily skin!
TipGiven its rich texture and excellent hydration, I'd suggest using just two drops from the dropper. Even for those with oily skin, using the right amount should yield good results!

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 prone to blemishes and lots of redness, so while I've been interested in brightening products lately, I was nervous about trying new things in case they caused breakouts. 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.

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!

My skin tends to be dark and sensitive, so I can't use just anything. However, I loved this product because I could experience an instant complexion boost as soon as I applied it. Oh my, it's amazing! I couldn't help but exclaim. It's truly worth it, no regrets. It helps with deep dryness to some extent, evens out my skin tone, has a pleasant scent, and doesn't feel sticky at all. I'm very satisfied.
ConsIf there's one slight drawback, it might be due to my super sensitive skin... After continued use, I noticed a slight tingling sensation. It's not severe, so I'm still using it. Overall, I'm satisfied with other aspects of the product.
TipI applied it in this order: toner, my usual essence, Nordic C essence, and then moisturizer. My skin feels hydrated until morning, which is great. Just drop a small amount on your face, gently massage it in, then pat it for perfect absorption.

It's super hydrating and feels great. Plus, the scent isn't artificial like typical cosmetics - it's more of a fruity fragrance, making it pleasant to apply. It contains vitamin C, and after using it diligently for about a week, I noticed my sun-damaged skin from a Thailand trip had somewhat recovered.
ConsPersonally, I prefer a fresh finish after application, but this feels a bit sticky, which is slightly disappointing...
