Let me share my honest review with you. ✔️Application & Absorption The texture is a light, water-based formula. It absorbs well, but leaves a slightly sticky feeling. However, it layers nicely without pilling, even when applied in multiple coats. Just be careful not to overdo it, as too many layers can result in residual stickiness. ✔️Ingredients & Quality It contains a combination of effective brightening ingredients like niacinamide, arbutin, and tranexamic acid, which are great for targeting dark spots and uneven skin tone. The gentle formula makes it suitable even for sensitive skin types. ✔️Pros Excellent combination of brightening active ingredients Absorbs quickly despite initial stickiness Gentle enough for sensitive skin Gradually evens out skin tone ✔️Recommended Skin Types Ideal for those concerned with dark spots, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone Especially suitable for sensitive or dry skin For dry skin, pair it with a hydrating serum for best results Oily skin types might find it a bit heavy ✅This brightening serum is perfect for daily use to improve skin tone without any fuss. It's a great addition to a consistent skincare routine!
Cons✔️Cons Results are gradual rather than immediate - consistency is key Might feel slightly heavy for summer use Price point is a bit high for the amount of product
TipI'm serious about addressing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, pores, and skin firmness! Here's my routine: 📌Morning Routine First essence -> Pure Vitamin C -> Dark spot serum -> Centella cream -> Sunscreen 📌Evening Routine First essence -> Dark spot serum -> RH Retinol -> Niosome Panthenol Serum -> Centella cream

ConsAfter application, it feels quite sticky. It seems like you need to wait a while before using any other products.
TipI think it pairs well with Layer Lab's retinol products.

After using it for about 3 weeks, the blemishes around my nose faded and my complexion became incredibly radiant...! - It absorbs well and has a nice texture when applied. - The hydration is great, so it seems suitable for all skin types. However, it might feel a bit heavy for oily skin... Nowadays, as it's getting warmer during the day, I use this plus two ampoules -> finish with sunscreen, and my skin doesn't feel dry at all.
ConsIn summer, those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found the hydration to be good. It doesn't feel like a hydrating ampoule though!
TipSince it flows easily when applied, you need to spread it quickly

I used it only on the dark spots and blemishes under my eyes for about two weeks. While it didn't completely erase the blemishes, considering its brightening ingredients, it didn't cause any tingling sensation and absorbs well (I have slightly dry-leaning skin).
ConsGiven the price, I wish there was more product, as I end up using it only on small areas like under the eyes and around the cheeks to target blemishes.

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.ProsThis review is based on about two weeks of use after receiving the product. ✔️ My first impressions were that the packaging is cute, but the price isn't exactly cheap for the amount you get. While the packaging is adorable, it's a bit inconvenient that you can't see the contents inside due to the opaque white container. ✔️ The absorption is really great. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. ✔️ I appreciated that it's fragrance-free. You can barely smell anything even after applying it to your face! ✔️ There's a temporary brightening effect right after application. Perhaps due to the short usage period, I didn't see significant improvements in dark spots or blemishes. ✔️ However, I noticed slight fading of recent acne marks and small blemishes, so I think consistent use could be beneficial in the long run.
ConsThere was a slight stickiness and a bit of a 'squeaky' feeling after application. My hands also felt a bit tacky from the residue. Also, I experienced some eye irritation during use. Those with sensitive skin might want to avoid applying it too close to the eye area.
TipSince it's effective and rich in vitamins, you could try layering it twice on problem areas or even use it as a mask by soaking a cotton pad and leaving it on the 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've been applying this product morning and evening for just over a week. My skin is dry with redness and flushing, and I have some slight pigmentation around my cheekbones. The texture is very fluid, almost water-like, and the scent wasn't particularly noticeable. It absorbs well and quickly with excellent application. My complexion seems a bit brighter than before, but I'll need to use it consistently to see more definitive results. I'm currently using a retinol-cica serum in the morning and a vitamin C serum at night, so I'm hoping for synergistic effects with this product. I plan to continue using it regularly.
ConsNo real downsides yet, as it seems like consistent use is needed to see the full benefits.

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've been using this for about 5 days. My skin is currently combination dehydrated. The texture is heavier than a water toner but lighter than a runny serum, applying smoothly and absorbing well. The finish feels a bit sticky at first, but it seems to settle nicely once fully absorbed. It applies comfortably on the face without causing any blemishes, though I'm not sure about its brightening effects yet. Still, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight afterwards, so overall the product seems gentle and hydrating. I'll use up the whole bottle consistently and come back with another review!
ConsWhile I wasn't expecting dark spots and blemishes to disappear after such a short use, I usually notice an immediate brightening effect right after applying whitening products. However, I didn't experience that with this one.

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.ProsThe packaging arrived in pristine condition, and I loved that it came with a dropper for easy application! The serum has an incredibly smooth and lightweight texture that glides on effortlessly. When gently spread with fingertips, it applies smoothly across the skin. Best of all, it's not sticky, so I could apply makeup in the morning without any pilling. The watery consistency feels gentle on the skin, and it layers well without clumping, which is fantastic. I started using this with mixed feelings of hope and concern about its claims to help with dark spots and blemishes. After about two weeks, I noticed my complexion becoming slightly brighter. While it didn't dramatically erase dark spots, I felt my overall dull appearance became clearer and more even. As someone with super sensitive skin, I'm always cautious with new products, but this serum was completely non-irritating and comfortable to use. It didn't cause any blemishes and even seemed to have a calming effect, so I think it would suit sensitive skin types well. The dropper bottle is hygienic and makes it easy to control the amount, so using it was never inconvenient. It effortlessly fit into my morning and evening routines, naturally becoming a consistent part of my skincare regimen. Summary: - With consistent use, I felt my dark spots and blemishes becoming less noticeable, and my complexion became clearer. - I especially appreciated that it was gentle enough for sensitive skin to use comfortably without irritation. - The packaging was hygienic and easy to use, making it great for daily application.
ConsIf I had to point out one drawback, it's that the improvement in dark spots isn't particularly rapid. It's worth noting that you need to use it consistently for a while to see noticeable changes. However, considering how gentle and non-irritating it is, I found this to be an acceptable trade-off.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. I had terrible blemishes due to mask contact, and luckily I won the Layer Lab Scar Ampoule! First off, I was satisfied with the dropper - it fills up well to the tip and dispenses easily. The texture has a slight viscosity, which as someone with dry skin, I found it absorbed well and was nicely moisturizing. But most importantly, the scars... I was amazed at how quickly they faded. The third photo isn't a 'before' picture, but rather 3-4 days after using the product. Before that, the scars were so bad that I was too stressed to take any photos, so I don't have a comparison shot.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked about it. It didn't cause any blemishes, and overall it was a satisfying product!
TipI think I saw even better results because I applied a regenerating cream over this product. I highly recommend this for anyone struggling with scars or blemish marks.

Absorbs well It applies smoothly and evenly! It doesn't feel like it's going to evaporate quickly at all. 2. Fragrance-free It seems to have no scent...? I personally found it better because it's close to being fragrance-free. When specific fragrances are added, it can be quite divisive. 3. Evens skin tone I felt like my complexion brightened after using it for about a week. The texture isn't light, so one layer is enough and it feels rich and nourishing.
Cons1. Heavy texture It feels quite rich. To be honest... I prefer lighter products, so even applying a small amount felt very heavy for me. Highly recommended for those with super dry skin. → After using this, I developed blemishes.. I stopped using it, then tried again, but since this was the only product I changed in my routine, I immediately discontinued it. I think some ingredients don't agree with my skin. 2. Dropper It was very inconvenient. This is the biggest drawback - the dropper is too weak. I seriously recommend redesigning it.
TipJust apply it lightly and thinly. As for layering... I'm not so sure. I think it's best to apply it as thinly as possible!
