(Usage period: Evening of April 9, 2025 to Morning of April 18, 2025) ❣ Current Skin Condition Mild blackheads on nose + enlarged pores + dark spots + unexplained blemishes near the temples Deep dryness, with surface dryness in spring, fall, and winter. Overall dullness. (Except in summer, oil blotting paper barely picks up any oil.) Plus, someone whose face gets extremely dry in winter without oils ❣ Texture - No stickiness I think the texture is really important as the weather gets warmer. The lightweight formula doesn't feel sticky, which is great However, if you apply too much, the finish feels a bit powdery, so if you want hydration or softness, you might need to adjust the amount or layer with other products ❣ Lacks both hydration and oil I think this is expected since the product isn't primarily for moisturizing. Due to the lack of oil and moisture balance, I wouldn't recommend using it before makeup (Since moisturizing isn't its main function, this can't be considered a drawback. It's just describing a characteristic.)
Cons❣ No visible effects due to insufficient usage period Brightening is a battle against time, so you probably need to use up an entire bottle diligently to see results. ❣ Fragrance It's too strong. While it doesn't last long, there's an intense rose scent at first. I wonder if it really needs to have a fragrance at all. ❣ Glass container + High price I'm not sure if there are ingredients that need to be in glass to be effective, but it's surprisingly heavy. I thought I broke my foot when I dropped it! I think glass is more expensive than plastic. If it could be switched to plastic, it might lower the cost and be better overall.

It goes on smoothly. Absorption is average, with a slight feeling of residue. Provides mild hydration. Doesn't feel like it's clogging pores, but it's a bit heavy. Most importantly, for dark spots and brightening - it seems to be lightening, but I'm not sure about significant effects yet. I'll write again after using it all up in two months.
ConsThe downside is the scent. While it doesn't last long, it's quite strong and might not be for everyone. Also, the amount of product seems a bit small compared to the container size.
TipUse it concentratedly only on areas where you need help with dark spots and brightening.

It's great that it contains PDRN, which is a trending ingredient these days. While I'm not sure if it's brightened my complexion, it's definitely effective in improving blemishes! I love that it's a lightweight formula that's easy to apply. It also absorbs well into the skin.
ConsAs someone who prefers fragrance-free products, I'm a bit disappointed that it has a rose scent. Although the scent doesn't linger for too long, it's still not ideal for me.

It's lighter than an essence but slightly more concentrated than a toner, giving it a perfect in-between feel. It flows like water when dispensed, but absorbs quickly into the skin. There's no stickiness or pilling, making it ideal for use before makeup. It sinks in smoothly, making it comfortable for both morning and evening use. This formula seems particularly well-suited for oily or combination skin types, but even those with dry skin could use it comfortably alongside other hydrating products. For combination skin, it's especially nice for daily use. It's lightweight yet provides sufficient hydration, making it non-sticky in summer and great for layering in winter. In terms of effects, it's not the type to instantly erase blemishes. It seems to work better as a maintenance product after acne marks or hyperpigmentation have already started to fade. It's great for when your skin texture is rough or your overall skin condition is inconsistent, giving a soothing effect and helping to stabilize your complexion with consistent use. While using this product, my skin felt comfortable without any irritation. I even felt like my makeup applied better. Rather than immediate visible results, it's the kind of product that gradually refines your skin with daily use. It's particularly well-received even when your skin is sensitive, making it a go-to when your skin feels unstable. Overall, it gives a clean and smooth finish, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight yet effective base product.
ConsThe price point is a bit on the higher side, and the scent might be divisive. It's not an artificial fragrance, but rather a natural herbal rose scent. While it's quite subtle and doesn't linger for long, which I found acceptable, I'd recommend those sensitive to fragrances to test it first before committing.

Despite this, I was able to apply this serum comfortably regardless of my skin's condition. It applies so gently without any irritation. That's why I reached for it more often than other products. Light texture The texture feels like a gel that doesn't run like water. It applies smoothly without sliding off. This made it great to use even in the morning before makeup, as it wasn't heavy on the skin!
ConsI'll need to use it longer to see its effects on brightening and dark spots. Apart from that, I really liked this product just for the fact that I could apply it without any irritation. There's a slight rose and herbal scent at first, but it doesn't linger strongly, which was fine. I was satisfied!
TipIt's great to use both morning and night!

It's lightweight and doesn't feel oily, so I'd say it's more of a hydrating type. Despite being light, it's not too runny - when I applied it to the back of my hand and turned it over, it didn't drip or fall off. I've had to rush to apply some serums that were too watery before they dripped off my face, but this one's consistency is just right. I'm very satisfied! The photo shows two pumps, but about one and a half pumps were enough to cover my entire face. As it's slightly on the drier side for hydration, I'd recommend using this serum as a first layer of moisture, then following up with an emulsion or cream. Being a lighter consistency, it definitely absorbs quickly. If you apply too much, it can feel a bit sticky, but with the right amount, it leaves a fresh, non-sticky finish. The most divisive aspect might be the fragrance! Personally, I think rose scents are the ultimate love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, and this product does have a rose scent. However, the scent dissipates quickly after application, and it's not overpowering or artificial. Even though I'm not usually a fan of rose scents, I found this one quite tolerable. *I'll mention a few more details in the 'cons' section! I've been using it daily since I received it, and I can definitely feel that it's evened out my skin tone! I think consistent use will yield even better results.
ConsTo get a better idea of the fragrance's appeal, I asked some friends for their opinions. One friend who dislikes rose scents even more than I do said she couldn't use it at all. While she agreed that the scent fades quickly, she found the initial fragrance too strong to tolerate. To be fair, since it's not primarily a fragrance product, the scent isn't actually that intense. But I suppose when it comes to a polarizing scent like rose, it's hard to please everyone.
