The Japanese sun was intense, and my skin would tan easily even after short outings. I began applying it in the evenings. While it didn't completely eliminate blemishes, it seemed to prevent new ones from appearing. It applies smoothly and absorbs well. As someone with extremely dry skin, I've always experienced irritation from products containing vitamin C, but this one was less harsh, which I appreciated. I felt it was effective on the pores in my T-zone, though I need to use it longer to be sure. Rather than noticing a brighter complexion, I felt my skin became healthier overall. The absorption isn't bad, making it suitable for those with dry skin.
ConsThere's a slight tingling sensation, but that seems common for products of this type. It's essential to apply a regenerating cream afterwards.
TipAfter using a gentle, low-irritation toner for texture management, apply a small amount to the back of your hand and pat it onto your skin. Layer it thinly and frequently, then follow up with a rich regenerating cream for best results. I noticed that if I apply a thick moisturizer about a minute after using this product and then go to sleep, my skin feels less irritated and has a better texture the next day. I think I need to use it for about another month to fully assess its effects.

Sometimes vitamin C serums can sting, but this one doesn't. - Absorbs well: It absorbs quickly, but doesn't leave the skin feeling dry. Instead, it feels like the skin is holding onto moisture. - Effects: When applied in the evening, I noticed my complexion looked clearer in the morning. After about two weeks of consistent use, I saw a significant fading of blemishes!
ConsThe small amount means you tend to use it sparingly! The price might be a bit steep for daily use.
TipWhile you can use it in the morning, I recommend using a generous amount during your evening skincare routine! It seems to work hard on your skin overnight, leaving you with a clearer complexion in the morning. Since daily use might be a bit pricey, alternating it with a hydrating serum 2-3 times a week could be just perfect!

The application felt like a lightweight serum. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I layer multiple products to boost hydration, and this serum blended seamlessly into my routine without any pilling. It absorbs well too! After using it morning and evening for just over a week, I noticed my complexion looked clearer. I had that 'Oh, my skin looks brighter!' moment. I think it's because my blemishes have faded.
ConsThe only downside is that the amount seems small, so it might run out quickly with daily use.

The hydrating effect creates a subtle glow for added benefit) - Not a dramatic improvement in blemishes, but some stubborn spots that makeup couldn't cover have slightly faded
ConsIf you apply too much, it can make your skin look oily and shiny
Tip* Usage Tip Do not over-apply! It won't absorb properly and will look greasy. Two pumps are more than enough

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst, let me briefly explain why I applied for this product. I was interested in its whitening and skin texture improvement effects, so I wanted to try it out! I was also curious if it would be effective for blemishes like pigmentation. The scent was a refreshing citrus fragrance, and it didn't feel artificial, so it wasn't off-putting at all! Regarding the texture, while the product page describes it as a fresh serum formulation, it was actually more fluid than I expected. As a result, it applies very lightly and absorbs quickly. However, after absorption, there's a subtle... very slight sticky feeling that remains! I suspect this might be due to the ingredients or the high moisture content in the formulation. It's marketed as a daily gentle serum, and I agree that it's quite mild. So, I think it's great for those new to vitamin-based products or for those who want to use it alongside other functional skincare products without any issues.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it, but there's also nothing exceptionally great... The reason being, I haven't noticed any significant effects yet. It might be different with continued use, and since there weren't any real drawbacks, I'm giving it 5 stars for now. However, at this point, it's just average, so I'm undecided about repurchasing.

Application: Spreads smoothly without irritating the skin. Absorption: Absorbs well, allowing for seamless layering of products. Recommended skin type: In my opinion, it might work well for almost all skin types. Scent: Has a refreshing citrus orange fragrance. I could apply it both at night and in the morning without any burning sensation or irritation. My skin used to be flawless, but recently I've been worried about age spots appearing and new moles forming. After diligently applying this for two weeks, I'm thrilled to see my complexion brighten up, making even light makeup look great. The age spots have faded slightly, but I think consistent use is key for optimal results. Personally, I'm just hoping no new spots will appear. This product works well for me, so I plan to keep using it regularly.
ConsThe only downside is the small size of the product. It's a shame it runs out so quickly.
TipWhile it's fine to use at night, when applying in the morning, it's still a good idea to remember to use sunscreen or a sun stick for added protection.

It's great! It also causes minimal skin irritation.
ConsIt's a bit pricey for a 30ml bottle, considering many serums come in 50ml sizes.
TipTips: - Apply a rich moisturizer after using the vitamin serum - Use the vitamin serum only at night

It sinks into the skin without feeling sticky, and doesn't cause any deep dryness, which I loved. Plus, I could apply it without any irritation to my skin. I'm prone to redness and blemishes when trying new cosmetics, but I was able to use this without any issues.
ConsWhile it was great that I could apply it without irritation, I did feel it might be a bit light for those in their 40s.
TipI split my routine between morning and evening. In the morning, I use a spot-correcting serum, and in the evening, I use retinol. Although I didn't experience any major irritation when using it with retinol, I prefer to separate them just in case there's any subtle reaction I'm not noticing. This approach feels more comfortable and seems to provide a better balance for my skin.

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 was initially concerned that a Vitamin C product might take a while to absorb or feel heavy, but this one absorbs well and doesn't feel heavy on my combination dehydrated skin. I loved that it didn't pill or feel suffocating when layered with other products. The scent is pleasant and subtle when applying, not off-putting at all. Once absorbed, the fragrance dissipates and doesn't linger.
ConsI was disappointed by the smaller-than-expected size. Given the small volume, it's challenging to control the amount dispensed as each pump releases quite a bit of product. It's frustrating that the first pump always seems to get stuck somehow. Overall, I found myself more dissatisfied with the packaging than the product's effectiveness.
TipWhile I only used it at night, since it contains vitamin C, I strongly recommend using sunscreen if you apply it during the day.

It absorbs quickly into the skin. I love how it absorbs smoothly without any stickiness, leaving a fresh feeling. My complexion seems brighter, and my blemishes appear to be fading, so I plan to use it consistently.
ConsIt's not extremely hydrating, so those with very dry skin might benefit from applying a second layer after the first one has absorbed.
