My skin type fluctuates between dry and combination dehydrated. 1. Application & Absorption: The texture isn't runny - it stays put when applied to the back of your hand. It spreads easily and feels quite hydrating. Right after application, it leaves a nice, firm finish. The absorption is excellent, with the moisture quickly sinking into the skin. However, I found it a bit lacking when used alone, so I layered it over a more fluid serum. Finishing with a cream helps maintain that hydrated skin feeling until the next morning. 2. Ingredients: I was pleased to see it contains PDRN, which I prefer. I think with long-term use, it might help improve skin firmness. Plus, I didn't experience any blemishes! There was no tingling or increased redness after application. Isoi is known for their careful ingredient selection, which gave me extra peace of mind. It's marketed as a brightening serum that helps fade dark spots, which got me excited. While I didn't see dramatic changes in just two weeks, I believe consistent use could yield good results. 3. Scent: The rose fragrance makes application a pleasant experience. However, those who dislike strongly scented cosmetics might want to be cautious. 4. Recommended Skin Types: For oily skin, using this alone might suffice. For dry skin, I'd suggest pairing it with another serum. I mixed it with an anti-aging serum and didn't find it too heavy.
ConsIf I had to nitpick... the container is a bit heavy. But for home use, the glass packaging feels luxurious and nice.
TipPersonally, I found it paired well with A*HA serum and E**** Lauder Advanced Night Repair (the light brown bottle). It seems to work great when combined with very fluid, watery formulas.

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.ProsFragrance: A slightly intense yet fresh rose scent! As someone sensitive to smells, I appreciate that it's not overpowering but rather subtle, allowing for easy application without much concern. Texture: Not watery at all. When squeezed out, it maintains its shape without dripping. It spreads effortlessly as you apply, making application a breeze! Absorption: It's a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly with just a few pats! However, it might feel slightly tight after application, so it's not recommended for extremely dry skin. Oily/combination skin types can use it comfortably. There's minimal pilling when applying cream afterwards.
ConsBrightening: After using 4 pumps morning and night for a week, the effects on reducing blemishes and brightening the complexion are minimal. Maybe it's slightly clearer? It seems you'd need to apply 4 pumps generously for at least a month to see noticeable results. Immediate effects are hardly visible. Hydration: While it absorbs quickly, it doesn't give a deeply hydrated feeling. Once it's completely dry, it feels more like the surface has been lightly moistened rather than truly hydrated. This might lead to some skin tightness. Price: Too expensive... Considering the volume and effectiveness, it's overpriced.
TipDon't be stingy - use it generously!

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 off, I have sensitive, oily skin. My skin flares up with dermatitis if I use just anything. I've struggled with seborrheic dermatitis in the past. That's how delicate my skin is. I'm even on prescription medication for my skin. 1. Texture As you can see in the photos, it's a slightly transparent liquid formula. It's not runny, but has enough viscosity to maintain its shape. Let me elaborate on the consistency. I've used the previous version of this serum before the reformulation. Back then, it had a stickier feel. But this reformulated product is different! It feels much fresher. The absorption is better than before, and there's no lingering stickiness after application. That's a big plus. 2. Scent It has a rose fragrance. I think it might be a love-it-or-hate-it situation. The scent is quite strong and lingers for a while, so those with sensitive noses might find it bothersome. I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, so I used it without issues. 3. Effectiveness I applied it consistently to my bare face. Here's what I noticed: first, it absorbs incredibly fast. As soon as I spread it and massage it in, the product disappears. Even when layering, it all absorbs quickly, which is great. The previous version tended to pill when layered, but this one doesn't - that's a significant improvement. The quick absorption seems to contribute to faster results. After about 7 uses, people commented that my complexion looked clearer. While there wasn't a dramatic change in skin tone, there was a subtle difference. I think with continued use, the results will become more noticeable, but it definitely had an effect on brightening and improving dull skin. As for dark spots and blemishes... well, those take longer to improve, so I'll need more time to evaluate. Overall impression? Even with my sensitive skin, it didn't cause any reactions. I applied it generously without any issues. My face looks clearer, so the effectiveness is evident. While I need more time to assess its impact on dark spots and blemishes, I'm satisfied with these results. The long-lasting hydration and, most importantly, the non-sticky texture are major selling points for me. This improved serum is much better. I really like it!
ConsThe price... that's the downside. It seems too expensive for the amount you get. That's why I'm always on the lookout for Olive Young sales for Isoi products. Please have more promotions!
TipFor dark spots and dull under-eye areas, applying a second layer works well. First, use one pump to massage into your forehead, nose, and cheeks. Then, apply another pump specifically to your problem areas. Oh, and using it with a beauty device is also great.

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 off, I have combination dehydrated skin with oily forehead and nose, but dry around the mouth. The texture is incredibly lightweight and absorbs well. It's perfect for those with oily skin. Among products containing PDRN, many have a thicker consistency, but if you want something light, this product is a great choice. It's not watery to the point of dripping, making it very easy to apply. In winter, my cheeks get very dry, so I layer multiple products. But in this weather, I finish my skincare routine with this serum, a hydrating serum, and an emulsion. With consistent use, you'll likely notice your complexion becoming clearer. Although I've been using it for just under two weeks and haven't noticed major changes, when I apply the serum after washing my face, my skin looks brighter than usual. It helps with blemish care. I'm prone to hormonal and inflammatory acne on my chin and often use acne patches. Over the past week, I've noticed my blemishes healing faster than usual. My usual routine includes a centella mist (optional), rose serum, hyaluronic acid serum, and a squalane emulsion. Despite a week of sleep deprivation and constant movement, I could still see improvement in my blemishes, which I attribute to the new rose serum in my routine.
ConsThe price is a bit high... and the packaging. The bottle is very heavy glass, which I'm not a fan of. It's disappointing, especially considering the price. I wonder if there's a specific reason they need to stick with this design. Also, the fragrance is extremely strong. I've never tested this product before and it's my first time using it, but I was surprised by the floral scent, which is about three times stronger than Mamonde's Rose Water. Personally, rose scents give me headaches, so my initial reaction was 'Ugh!'. However, after continued use, I've somewhat gotten used to it... but the scent is still very noticeable.
TipGiven its functional properties and how lightly it absorbs into the skin, it would work well as the first step in your skincare routine.

The texture is slightly thin but doesn't run excessively. It absorbs well, isn't sticky, and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry. One of the best things about this serum is its scent - a subtle rose fragrance that makes me feel like I'm in a rose garden every time I use it. It's not artificial or overpowering, which I really appreciate. While it's hard to see significant improvements after just a week of use, I remember seeing my faint blemishes fade and my complexion brighten when I used it for several months before. I believe consistent use will yield the desired results. The packaging looks more luxurious now, which makes me excited for Isoi's future developments.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, except that I tend to use it up quickly. I wished for a larger quantity, but now that they've released a 70ml version, that concern has been completely addressed.
TipNo tips to add, unfortunately.

Many skincare products these days are unscented, but this product has a natural rose fragrance that I really enjoyed. • It absorbs incredibly fast. After patting it in a few times, it's fully absorbed without any stickiness or greasiness. As it absorbs, I could feel a lifting effect. • The hydration is great, so I didn't experience any deep dryness. • After applying, my skin felt brighter, and it seemed to tighten my pores. While its main function is a brightening serum, it also seemed to reduce sebum production and improve the appearance of pores! • I used it morning and night for about 10 days, and I could definitely notice my skin becoming brighter. Sebum production decreased, and my skin felt noticeably improved. • It seems really great for oily combination dehydrated skin that dislikes excess oil. • Overall review: It's a brightening serum that's great for mattifying and pore care, but also provides good hydration without causing dryness.
ConsThere weren't any downsides. It seems a bit pricey, so I'm waiting for a sale!

Isoi is known for their commitment to quality ingredients. Even with my sensitive skin, I'm using it without any blemishes! Although it's a functional brightening product, it's gentle enough for sensitive skin. Hydrating! Just one application leaves my skin incredibly moisturized. The texture is a rich gel that doesn't run, making it easy to use. A scent that makes you want to keep sniffing! I personally love floral scents, and Isoi's serum fragrance is amazing. The scent lasts for a few hours after application, which is so soothing. It smells like fresh roses, not artificial at all. Brightening effect: After about a week of use, I can feel my complexion becoming brighter. I can see why it's famous as a spot-correcting serum. Absorption: It feels like it absorbs quickly. It's great to use before makeup too - my foundation doesn't pill! Beautiful packaging: The combination of pink and silver is so pretty! There's even detail on the cap! It's a package that makes me happy every time I look at it.
ConsThere weren't any downsides. If I had to pick something, maybe the high price? I'll have to buy it during a sale!
TipFor areas where you're concerned about dark spots, try layering it on twice. You'll notice those areas becoming much brighter. Using it together with the cream from the same line creates a great synergy effect!

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.ProsSkin type: Combination dehydrated + Blemish-prone + Sensitive (I used this product during my period when my skin was super sensitive) Texture and application: The texture is similar to a regular serum, not too runny. It applies incredibly moisturizing and fresh! Oiliness: I really, REALLY care about oil control. My T-zone tends to get oily quickly, so I've always preferred Torriden serum until now. But I think I'll be using this ISOI serum frequently too! There's a slight stickiness at first, but once it's fully absorbed, it feels great! (My mom, who has dry skin, says she doesn't feel any stickiness at all) Blemishes: Despite my skin being extremely sensitive during my period, I didn't experience any new breakouts. I can't say the serum helped with existing blemishes since I was using a separate ointment too... haha Other benefits: I've only been using it for about a week, so I can't really comment on the brightening or inner glow effects yet. But I'm hopeful that with consistent use, I'll see some results!
ConsFragrance: I usually prefer unscented products, so the fragrance was a bit disappointing for me. I expected a subtle rose scent, but it was surprisingly strong... Price: I think it's a bit on the pricey side. I was fortunate to try it as part of The Hwahae Testers, but the price might make me hesitate if I were considering a first-time purchase.
TipIf you have oily skin like mine, I'd recommend applying just one layer instead of layering it multiple times. The slight stickiness might make it feel a bit heavy if you layer it too much.

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 excited to try this famous product, especially in its renewed version. While it's too early to comment on its brightening effects after just 4 days of use (I'll update my review if I see results - a week seems too short for reviewing such products!), I can share my initial impressions. The airless pump packaging is hygienic and convenient. The texture is like a water-gel that doesn't drip. It applies beautifully, spreading quickly with a hydrating feel. Being a light formula, it absorbs instantly into the skin, leaving no sticky residue - just a fresh sensation. As someone with oily skin, I love this lightweight feel, though it might be too light for very dry skin types. It's not focused on deep moisturizing or nourishment, so I'd recommend layering it with other products (though in summer, this plus a moisturizer might be enough for me). Everyone raves about the scent, and I agree - it has a luxurious rose fragrance that's quite therapeutic when applying. While not deeply hydrating, it leaves a smooth, subtle glow once absorbed. It's not overpowering, so applying BB cream over it enhances the glow and makes skin look great. I find myself reaching for this often as a pre-makeup serum in the morning, thanks to its pleasant feel and unique radiance. Regarding its brightening function, it's too soon to see noticeable effects. I don't have major pigmentation concerns, just looking for overall complexion brightening, so I plan to use it consistently for at least a month. So far, I'm pleased - it doesn't aggravate redness and seems quite gentle for a high-performance brightening product.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, except maybe that it might be hard to see how much product is left in the bottle.
