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.

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.
