The product description claimed it was an 'active texture-enhancing care serum that smooths rough skin and brightens a dull complexion' - and after using it, I can say that description is spot on! What impressed me most was the high concentration of the key ingredient LHA. I'd heard this component is excellent for gently exfoliating dead skin cells and refining skin texture. However, when I first used it, I did experience a slight tingling sensation as mentioned in the instructions. I was momentarily concerned, but the guide explained this was just my skin naturally adapting to the ingredients, so I continued using it for a few more days. Amazingly, my skin texture became noticeably smoother, and my overall complexion seemed brighter. True to its anti-aging claims, my skin felt firmer too. It doesn't pill when applied before makeup, making it perfect for daily use. Although I haven't been using it for long, my first impression of this product is really positive. Despite having sensitive skin and being particular about ingredients and reactions, it suited me well without causing any blemishes. I'm satisfied and looking forward to seeing even more improvements with continued use!
ConsThere weren't many downsides, but my face did feel a bit itchy at first!

It instantly gave my skin a beautiful glow, almost like a 'glass skin' effect. The product also absorbs well into the skin.
ConsThe downside is that the day after using it, I noticed small bumps on my skin, possibly sebum-related. While it didn't cause severe irritation, I did experience some minor blemishes, which led me to discontinue use.

I used to use the Wellage Hyper Ampoule, and this product feels similarly hydrating. However, I was surprised that there wasn't any tingling sensation at all. At first, I thought I might have applied too much, so I reduced the amount, but still no tingling. It seems the experience varies from person to person. Thanks to the LHA ingredient, it seems to sink into the skin better, and I've noticed a reduction in dead skin cells around areas like between my eyebrows, around my lips, and beside my nose when using cleansing oil. This product definitely showed effectiveness in refining skin texture.
ConsHowever, possibly due to the LHA ingredient, my skin seems to have become more sensitive than when I used Wellage, and it's peeling off more easily. When I scratched near my lips, the skin peeled off and left a wound... and this happened even though my nails are very short... Rather than daily use, it might be better to use this product once every 2-3 days, and only in the evening.

The complexion on my nose and forehead looks luminous.
Cons- My skin reacted badly after using this product... I was in the middle of overcoming seasonal skin changes and focusing on texture management when I started using this. My cheeks broke out. However, my forehead and nose were fine and actually became quite luminous. After the first use, my cheeks flared up. I tried to calm it with aloe, but after the second use, it got even worse... My cheeks became extremely sensitive and red blemishes surfaced from deep within. I've never had issues with Laha foam cleansers, so maybe it's because of the high concentration.

I could definitely feel the hydration. When it first dries, there's a cooling effect, and the texture is more like a runny gel than a watery liquid.
ConsEven though I don't have particularly sensitive skin, I experienced blemishes. Just to be sure, I let my skin calm down and tried it again a few days later, but the same issue occurred. Also, with 'glow' in the product name, I expected a subtle radiance, but instead of a natural glow, it felt overly rich, making my skin look more greasy than luminous. Perhaps due to the excess oil, it didn't seem to absorb deeply into the skin, and the finish was slightly sticky, which was disappointing for me personally.
TipIt's a bit on the rich side, so I think it's better suited for nighttime application rather than morning use!

With this product, I didn't feel much irritation, and it seemed gentle, which I liked. I think using it consistently will help with skin cell turnover.
ConsJust because it's mild, I applied a lot, so a couple of small pimples came up. If you use it while adjusting the amount properly, it's just perfect.
TipSince it is an exfoliating product, you should not use it together with retinol products.

After applying, there is a slightly sticky feeling, but it's fine after applying a moisturizer. ▪ Skin irritation I was worried that there might be irritation, but it didn't itch or sting. ▪ Excellent exfoliating effect! After applying it in the evening, my skin felt smooth and incredibly soft the next day. It exfoliated so well that I felt I might not need to exfoliate anymore! My skin felt so smooth and polished, which I really liked.
Cons▪︎The whitening effect is still unclear to me. ▪︎Breakouts started around day 4. I suspected it was causing breakouts, so I took a day off and tried it again the next day, and it seems the cause of the breakouts was correct... I'm not sure if the LHA or other ingredients don't agree with me. (I'll take a longer break and try it one more time, and if there are any changes, I'll update the review.)
TipThe fact that it doesn't cause skin irritation doesn't necessarily mean it's a good fit.😢 Please take it into consideration.

And it also has anti-wrinkle functionality,✔️ which is even better. I also feel that it helps manage pores.
ConsBecause it contains ethanol/alcohol, those with skin that doesn't agree with it should be cautious in using it. update: I've been using it for about a month, and my skin has been a bit turned upside down ㅜㅜ It seems better to use it only when your skin is healthy or on less sensitive areas.
TipDon't apply it when your skin is sensitive! Your skin may only get more irritated. And don't apply it after laser treatment! It's better to apply it when your skin is healthier and calmed down.

The finishing touch had a slightly powdery feel, not a moisturizing one. I would recommend it for those with oily skin.
ConsI just ran out of serum and tried it right away, but in the area where I applied it intensively, a serious breakout occurred... The acne that appeared was really, really painful, and it wasn't just one or two, but several... I think it didn't suit me since I have sensitive skin. I haven't used it since then, and I haven't had any breakouts, so it seems this serum was the culprit... I'm the kind of person who tends to get pimples and just deals with breakouts, but this sudden outbreak was a first for me.
TipAmong the oily skin types, it is recommended for those who do not have sensitive skin. ' Alternatively, it is recommended to apply a small amount to the perimeter of the face or test on the back of the hand before use.

There was not a single good point.
ConsMy skin type is extremely sensitive, so even the Dokdo skincare line causes a burning sensation. I've only been using the product for 2 days, but I just can't continue using it anymore. 😭 Even as I'm writing this, it's too irritating, burning, and really painful. I've never had my skin react this way when using a product, and I'm shocked. It's so incredibly painful and the burning sensation has even caused a heat sensation. This product is just not suitable for my skin type at all. Even after washing my face, my skin is still so painful. 😭 I didn't have any issues using products like the Daiso Dareun Shot, but this one just doesn't agree with my skin, and I'm really suffering. Please absolutely do not use this if you have sensitive skin. 😭 My skin feels like it's burning, it's so painful. 😭
