I'm so pleased with how well it absorbs, and it's not too sticky. The way it glides on smoothly is fantastic, so I've already recommended it to my friends! The only downside is that you need to shake the oil before use, but it feels like it doesn't mix well. - rl**********Oily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedFeb 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

As I've gotten older, I've been increasingly concerned about my skin becoming drier. Fortunately, I was selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and got the chance to try this oil. The instructions recommend applying the oil after toner but before moisturizer. I think this helps create a protective barrier to prevent the oil from evaporating. Recently, I've been working outdoors a lot, which has been tough on my skin. But when I apply this oil followed by a generous layer of cream before bed, I wake up with a radiant complexion without any dryness. I really enjoy the fresh, citrusy scent of vitamin C. I definitely want to keep using this product. Overall rating: 3.8 Absorption: Excellent Skin texture improvement: Good Fragrance: Very good Gentleness: Excellent I intend to purchase this again. Please keep making great products! I don't have any specific reasons to not recommend this product. I was satisfied and didn't experience any blemishes. It felt very gentle on my skin. - xv********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedFeb 12, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

My complexion definitely looked more radiant!!! Plus, mixing the oil and hydration layers was fun to use, and I felt like it absorbed into my skin much better, which was great! Since I have oily skin, it definitely felt quite rich when I applied it during my evening skincare routine. So I stopped using it at night and only used it when going out instead. If you have oily skin, I'd recommend using it like I did. For those with dry skin, I think it would work well anytime! Highly recommended. I used it not just on my face but also on my body, and it worked great! - ch*******Dry SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRednessRecommendedFeb 11, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Like many others, my dry skin gets worse in winter, and I've been disappointed that face oils aren't widely available these days (even in stores, they don't recommend them). This product was just perfect for me. The oil and water are separated, and when you shake it vigorously like a cocktail, it blends into a pink mixture. The texture feels more like an oil-rich ampoule. However, it's not particularly sticky or greasy, and it absorbs well into the skin. But it's still an oil, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. It felt a bit heavy for my morning routine, so I only used it for night care. It reduced my deep dryness, and even my boyfriend, who has drier skin than me, used it. We both used it without any blemishes. The scent might be hit or miss for some people. At first, I was okay with it, but as I continued using it, it started to bother me a bit. Also, you need to shake it more vigorously than expected. I usually apply serum directly to my face, but the pump on this product is so strong that it sprays out like a shot - I had to pump it into my hand instead. This aspect was personally disappointing for me. When used alongside your hydration routine, it keeps your skin moisturized and even helps with brightening. To prevent pilling and mixing with other products, make sure to let it absorb fully before slowly layering on other skincare items. - by****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedFeb 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.The Nordic Sea Arctic Berry Oil Cocktail, straight from the chilly Nordic nature, had me smitten from the first use. The blend of various berry oils gently seeps into the skin, feeling like your complexion is taking a deep, nourishing drink. Texture & Absorption: It's a slightly thin, golden oil that spreads lightly and effortlessly when applied. It melts into the skin instantly, finishing without any stickiness. The absence of the typical heaviness associated with oils makes it perfect for daily use. This product seems to shine brightest during the drier seasons rather than summer. Hydration & Skin Glow Effect: The immediate hydration was the most satisfying aspect! You can feel the moisturizing effect rising from within, while a natural glow envelops the skin's surface. It's especially fantastic when mixed lightly with makeup - it brings out a plump, healthy radiance in the skin. Strongly recommended for those whose makeup tends to flake due to dryness! Scent & Feel: Perhaps due to the natural berry oils, there's a delightful, subtle fruity scent that wafts gently. It's not overpowering, but natural, making skincare a mood-lifting experience! It feels like your skin is being healed. Recommended Usage: - Use alone as the final step in your skincare routine to form a moisture barrier, leaving your skin feeling firm. - Mix with foundation or cream for an even more hydrated and smooth skin appearance. - On particularly dry days, add a few drops after applying moisturizer for long-lasting hydration. Overall Review: A must-have for dry skin types! The oil is light enough that even those with oily skin can use it without feeling weighed down. If you're looking to solve deep dryness and achieve a natural glow, this product is worth trying. A great addition to your winter skincare routine! After two weeks of use, I haven't found any downsides yet! - sy******Dry SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinInner DrynessEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedFeb 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Very oily texture, but not bad in terms of hydration. Absorption - I have dry skin, and it doesn't seem to absorb as well as I expected. For my oily T-zone (nose and forehead), it felt so greasy that I had to wipe it off once after application. Scent - Orange? Orange peel scent? As someone who prefers unscented products, this fragrance might cause headaches. Recommendation - Suitable for dry skin types without excess oil. If you usually find your skincare routine feeling heavy, this might not be a bad choice. It feels heavier than my usual skincare products, so it's difficult to use daily. Might be good for occasional evening use. The price is quite steep... After cleansing and toning, it absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling moisturized and soft. I think I'll continue using it this way in the future. - su********Dry SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsDark CirclesInner DrynessRecommendedFeb 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.I used this for two weeks as part of my pre-makeup routine. I have dry skin, but not extremely dry. Given it's winter, I've been using mostly hydrating products. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, so keep that in mind! I also don't tend to get blemishes easily. This serum is separated into a clear oil on top and a pink(?) layer below. Even after shaking and applying to the back of your hand or face, it doesn't mix completely. It has an oily texture, but it absorbs well when patted into the skin. Unlike other hydrating serums, it doesn't leave a bouncy feeling after application. Instead, it gives your face a subtle glow. It's great for those who love that Inner Glow look. It's perfect for creating a *natural radiance* that you can't achieve with a highlighter. Since this serum *focuses on radiance*, it doesn't offer much in terms of other benefits like intense hydration or evening out skin tone. However, if you apply this serum before makeup, you can achieve a slight inner glow effect even when using a matte cushion foundation! (By the way, I accidentally got some in my mouth, and it doesn't taste good at all) Apply it before your makeup! I put it on right before applying foundation!

If you have similar preferences to those I've listed in the 'Cons' section, I'd advise against using this. Note: Since I only have negative points to share, I'll provide a detailed product review here. 1. My skincare product preferences: 1) Prefer colorless 2) Prefer fragrance-free 3) Prefer no/low oil content 2. This product: 1) Has color 2) Contains fragrance 3) Is an oil-based product 3. What I disliked: 1) Why on earth does a skincare product need color and fragrance? 2) The color makes me worry my face will look unnecessarily red with continued use 3) When sprayed on a tissue, you can see the oil and color separating 4) It even leaves a lingering scent... 5) And for a skincare product, what's going on with these ingredients? 4. Additional thoughts: 1) This isn't the kind of skincare product you'd typically see with current Korean product quality/trends; it feels more Western, so I looked into the brand 2) Sure enough, it's from a Western country (Finland) 3) Not sure what 'Nordic C' means... Is it supposed to contain Vitamin C? Even if it does, Vitamin C needs to be in a brown bottle for stability (e.g., COSRX, Purador, etc.). If it does contain Vitamin C, it's probably already ineffective I'll probably just use what's left on my body without much thought - th******Dry SkinRecommendedFeb 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The fragrance is absolutely delightful. The scent definitely passes with flying colors! Texture: The oil and cream are separated, so make sure to give it a good shake before use! Overall review: For my dry skin, it's perfect for winter use! I applied it in the order of toner, essence, oil cocktail, and cream. Even at work, I felt no dryness throughout the day, which was fantastic! In the evening, the included oil made it great for a simple massage on my neck and face. I used it without any blemishes appearing! The price is, unfortunately, quite disappointing... It's more expensive than I expected. While I might consider purchasing it again in winter, I'd absolutely love it if there were discounts available! Since it contains oil, it's great for a quick lymphatic massage on your face. - tp******Normal SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedFeb 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

While most skincare products are white or transparent, this one has vibrant, beautiful colors that just make you feel good. Texture: Being oil-based, it gives a feeling of locking in moisture! As the name suggests, it's definitely a product with high oil content. I think it would work even better if used in combination with an ampoule or emulsion, rather than using the Nordic C Berry Oil Cocktail product alone. It seems perfect for use during the dry winter months! Product features: I felt that it has good moisture retention properties, thanks to the oil extracted from Arctic berries. I'm glad I received it in winter! Recommended skin type: Due to its oily and rich texture, I recommend it for those with dry skin. If you have oily skin, it might actually cause blemishes due to excess oil! Texture: As mentioned in other reviews, people with oily skin might experience blemishes! The rich texture that I listed as an advantage could be a disadvantage for some. I have dry skin so it was fine for me, but the texture is quite oily indeed! Scent: While I don't mind scents in color cosmetics, I prefer unscented products for skincare. This Nordic C Berry Oil Cocktail has a fruity scent! Those sensitive to fragrances might find this a point of dislike. Ingredients: It's not completely free of all 20 caution ingredients, so keep that in mind when purchasing. Other than these, I don't have any other complaints! As I mentioned above, I think it would work even better if used in combination with an ampoule or emulsion, rather than using the Nordic C Berry Oil Cocktail product alone. It's perfect for use during the dry winter months like now!
