I was looking for this kind of oily serum, and just in time I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, so I tried this product, and the application was great, it wasn't too sticky, and it applied smoothly, so I really liked it, and I recommended it to my friend Gyuㅠ!!

노르딕C 아크틱 베리 오일 칵테일

There are no particular reasons to not recommend it.
It was satisfactory and there were no troubles.
I got a very mild impression.

I am in my early 30s with combination skin.
As my skin becomes increasingly dry with age, I have been greatly concerned about this issue.
However, after being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I was able to try the oil product.
First, the instructions recommend applying the oil before the toner and moisturizer, which seems to help the oil from evaporating by creating a protective layer.
Recently, I have been working outdoors more often, and I found that applying the oil before the cream, and then generously applying the cream before bed, left my skin looking radiant and not dull.
I also enjoyed the refreshing vitamin C scent.
I would definitely continue using this product.
Overall rating: 3.8/5
Spreadability: ★★★★★
Skin texture improvement: ★★★

Irritation: ★★★★★
I plan to purchase this again in the future. Please continue to develop great products.

Not only on the face, but I also used it on my body and it was good.😊

As I have an oily complexion, I noticed that my skin became quite oily when I applied it during my evening skincare routine. 
Therefore, I only use it when I go out, not during my evening skincare routine!
I would recommend those with oily skin to use it like me, 
while those with dry skin can use it anytime! I highly recommend it.

That's great! 

• Moisture
First of all, these days when I go outside, my skin hurts from being so dry, but after applying this product as a base, it was definitely less dry!

• Whitening
I saw whitening effects from using this product.
I definitely felt that my skin looked brighter!!!

And since it's used by mixing the oil and moisture layers, it was fun to use and I definitely felt it absorbed better into my face!!

When using it together during moisturizing care, it makes the skin more hydrated and also good for whitening. It is absorbed sufficiently, and other products should be applied slowly so that they do not overlap, and the basic products do not get mixed together.

the scent may be polarizing. at first, i was okay with it, but after continued use, it started to bother me a bit. also, i found that i had to shake it much more vigorously than expected to use it. i usually just dispense the serum directly onto my face, but this product's pump is so strong that it squirts out forcefully, almost like a gun firing. so i ended up dispensing it into my hand and then applying it. this aspect was a bit disappointing to me personally.

I've been using it for nearly 10 days. Like many others, my skin tends to get drier in the winter, and I was disappointed that facial oil products have been selling poorly lately (they didn't even recommend them when I went to the store). But this product was just what I needed. The oil and water are separated, and when you shake it vigorously like a cocktail, it mixes into a pink color. The texture is more like an ampoule with a bit more oil content. It's not overly sticky or greasy, and it absorbs well. However, since it is an oil, I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. It was a bit heavy for my morning routine, so I only used it for my nighttime skincare. My skin felt less tight, and even my drier-skinned boyfriend used it with no issues.

So far, there are no issues after using it for 2 weeks!

The Nordic Sea Arctic Berry Oil Cocktail, which comes from the cold Nordic nature, had me hooked from the first use.
The various berry oils blend together and absorb smoothly into the skin, almost as if your skin is taking a deep drink of nourishment.

🌿 Texture & Absorption
It's a slightly runny golden oil that doesn't feel heavy when dispensed, spreading lightly. It melts into the skin without any stickiness, and the typical heaviness of oils is absent, making it perfect for daily use. It seems to shine more during drier seasons rather than summer.

💦 Hydration & Skin Glow
The most satisfying aspect was the immediate hydration! There's a sense of plumpness welling up from within, while a natural glow graces the skin's surface. Mixing a bit into makeup before application is fantastic, reviving a healthy, bouncy radiance. Highly recommended for those with dry skin that causes makeup to flake.

🍊 Fragrance & Usage
The subtle, refreshing fruit scent from the natural berry oils is lovely. It's not overpowering and feels natural, uplifting the mood during skincare. It's as if your skin is being nourished.

📝 Recommended Usage
✔ Use alone as the last step of your routine to create a hydrating barrier.
✔ Mix with foundation or cream for an extra dewy, smooth skin finish.
✔ Add a few drops to your moisturizer on dry days for long-lasting hydration.

✍ Overall
A must-have for dry skin! The lightweight oil is suitable even for oily skin types. If you want to tackle dehydration and achieve a natural glow, this is worth trying.

Add this to your winter skincare routine! 🌿✨

After washing, toning and applying, it is well-absorbed and leaves a moisturized, supple feeling, so I think I will continue using it this way going forward~

Compared to the skincare products I usually use, this one feels heavier, so it's difficult to use daily, but it seems suitable for occasional use in the evenings.
The price is quite steep.

The texture is extremely slippery - it was applied with a lot of force, but it feels almost like applying cooking oil. The texture is completely oily, but the moisture level is not bad.

The absorption - As I have a dry skin type, the absorption wasn't as good as expected. The T-zone area (forehead and nose) felt quite greasy after application, to the point where I had to blot it.

The fragrance - It has an orange or orange peel-like scent. As someone who prefers unscented products, the fragrance was a bit headache-inducing.

Recommendation - If you have an oily-free dry skin type, and your regular skincare products feel too heavy, this might not be a bad option.

Apply it before makeup! I applied it right before putting on my foundation!

This serum focuses on *radiance*, so it doesn't have many other special functions like intense hydration or tone improvement. However, if you apply this serum before makeup, it can give a subtle glow effect even when using a matte cushion foundation.
(By the way, the taste is not great if you accidentally ingest it)

For the past 2 weeks, I've been using this product in the pre-makeup stage. I have a dry skin type, not extremely oily. Since it's winter, I've been mainly using moisturizing products. My skin is not overly sensitive, so you can keep that in mind. I also don't tend to get many breakouts.

This serum is divided into a transparent oil on top and a pink(?) layer on the bottom. Even after shaking, it doesn't fully mix when applied to the back of the hand or the skin. It has an oily texture, but it absorbs well when patted onto the skin. Unlike other hydrating serums, there's no sticky, tacky feeling after application. It just leaves a subtle glow on the face. If you like the look of natural, inner-lit skin, this could be a good option. It provides a glow that highlighters can't quite replicate.

Personally, I have some regrets, so I will provide a specific product review here.

1. Skincare product preferences/criteria:
 1) Prefer uncolored
 2) Prefer unscented
 3) Prefer no/low oil

2. This product:
 1) Has color
 2) Contains fragrance
 3) Is an oil product

3. Things I disliked:
 1) Why does a skincare product need color and fragrance?
 2) The color seems to make my face unnecessarily red the more I use it.
 3) When sprayed on a tissue, you can see the oil and color separating.
 4) It even leaves a scent behind...
 5) Furthermore, what's up with the ingredients in this skincare product?

4. Other points:
 1) This skincare product is something that cannot be produced with the current Korean product capabilities and trends, and it seems to be a Western-style product, so I looked into the brand.
 2) It was indeed from a Western country (Finland).
 3) I wonder what 'Nordic C' means. Even if it contains vitamin C, vitamin C needs to be stored in a brown bottle due to stability issues (e.g., Cos R Exs, Purada), so it's likely that the vitamin C in this product is already ineffective.

In a nutshell, it's a product that I would never buy.
After reviewing the drawbacks listed, I recommend that people with similar preferences avoid using this product.

The oils are combined, so it's great to use for a simple lymphatic massage on your face. 👍🏻👍🏻

The price is ㅠㅠ quite disappointing...🥲🥲
The price is much higher than expected.. Though I may think of purchasing it in the winter ㅠ, if you could offer a discount, I would simply love it🤍🫶🏻

The fragrance was so good when I first received it! The scent is just wonderful. The fragrance gets a passing grade!
The formula is separated from the oil, so it's easy to shake well before use.
For my dry skin, this was perfect to use in the winter. I applied it as a skin-essence-oil cocktail-cream routine, and it kept my skin comfortable all day without any tightness. In the evening, the oil in the product made for a nice, simple facial and neck massage. I used it without any issues with breakouts.

As mentioned above, it would be better to use the Nordic C Berry Oil Cocktail product not on its own, but together with ampoules or emulsions. This product is perfect for use during the currently dry winter season!!

As mentioned in other reviews, people with oily skin may experience breakouts! The low oil content, which is a plus, can actually be a downside.🙁 I have normal skin, so it was fine for me, but the formula was quite oily due to its nature.

I don't mind the color, but I prefer fragrance-free products, especially for base makeup. This Nordic C Berry Oil Cocktail has a fruity scent. Those sensitive to fragrance may not like it.🙁

While it doesn't completely lack the 20 key ingredients, you should still be mindful of that when purchasing. 

Other than that, I don't have any other complaints.

🧡Product appearance and packaging
The product is divided into two layers, yellow and pink, so it needs to be shaken before use! Typically, basic products are often white or transparent, but this one has a vibrant and pretty color, which somehow makes me feel good.

🧡Formulation
It's an oil-based product, so I felt it really locked in the moisture. As the name suggests, this product is definitely high in oil content. Using it not only with the Nordic C Berry Oil Cocktail product but also with ampoules or emulsions would be even better. It seems like a great product to use during the dry winter season!

🧡Product features
The product contains oil extracted from Arctic berries, so I felt the moisturizing power was good. I'm glad I received this in the winter!

🧡Recommended skin type
It's oily and high in oil content, so I recommend it for dry skin. Oily skin types may experience excess sebum and breakouts.

This type feels a bit more oily than moisturized, so if you use it after layering mist/toner multiple times in the basic step to achieve a well-hydrated state, the oil will help prevent the moisture from evaporating.

Individuals sensitive to fragrances may dislike stronger scents like berry notes, similar to the intensity of orange aroma.

For about 15 days, I used it and wrote a review.
First of all, the moisturizing effect is definitely good!
As someone whose skin gets as dry as a snake's in the winter, I often blend it with jojoba oil when using serum or face packs, but the cocktail serum was convenient and nice because I didn't have to blend it with oil separately.:)

- It seems good to apply skin -> essence -> oil in order right after washing your face.
- If you apply it more consistently, your face will likely become whiter because it contains vitamin C ingredients.

The layers were slowly mixed as instructed, and while it looks nice, it doesn't fully blend together. It separates again soon after. I'm not sure if I should keep mixing it, as having to mix it every time I apply it is a bit of a hassle.

- Although I also applied other ampoules, essences, and soothing creams, I'm not sure if it solely provides moisture, but I feel that my skin is improving. The vitamin C component makes my skin look brighter and smoother.
- Absorption: While the name suggests an oil, it feels more like an essence. When applied directly to the skin, it absorbs quickly. When rubbed onto the hands, it has a typical thin essence-like texture. As it absorbs into the skin, it leaves a slightly tacky feeling, but not an unpleasant stickiness - rather, a plump and supple sensation.
