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, it wasn't irritating considering its brightening ingredients, and it absorbs well (I have slightly dry-leaning skin).
ConsGiven that you end up applying it only to blemishes around the eyes and cheeks, the small amount you get for the price is a bit disappointing.

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. I could barely detect any scent even after applying it to my face! ✔️ There's a temporary brightening effect right after application. Perhaps due to the short usage period, I didn't notice significant improvement in dark spots or blemishes. ✔️ However, I did see slight fading of recent acne marks and small blemishes, so I think consistent use could be beneficial in the long run!
ConsAfter application, there was a slight stickiness and a bit of a 'squeaky' feeling. The stickiness lingered on my hands, which felt a bit uncomfortable. Also, I noticed 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!

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 some synergistic effects with this product. I plan to continue using it regularly.
ConsNo real downsides to report yet, as it seems like consistent use is needed to see the full benefits.

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!

I loved that there was no sticky feeling or heaviness after use. Not only does it help manage pigmentation and improve complexion, but it also tackles deep dryness! As someone with skin prone to blemishes and acne scars, I'm always interested in brightening products. After using this, I didn't experience any new spots, and it was effective on my existing blemish marks! I noticed them gradually fading, and I'm satisfied that they've cleared up nicely.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing. The container has a slight heft to it, but I actually like that as it feels like it's made of sturdy material.

Can apply makeup immediately. - Texture: ★★★★★ Flows like water!

It feels like you're not wearing anything on your face! - Scent: ★★★★★ Unscented - perfect (I love fragrance-free products) - Skin reaction: ★★★★★ No blemishes or other reactions.

As I've been using them, I've come to trust the product quality. When I spotted the dark spot serum on The Hwahae Testers, I just had to apply for it! The absorbs well is excellent. It absorbs well after a few gentle rolls. While it's great on its own, I've been using it with the Vitamin C serum. It feels good right after application, but when I apply it before bed, my skin feels incredibly smooth the next morning. It makes me feel so good! There's a noticeable difference compared to using just the Vitamin C serum alone. It's hard to put into words, but... I'm extremely satisfied with this product.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that Layer Lab products aren't generally budget-friendly. Also, I'm wondering why dark spots that weren't visible before seem more noticeable now... Is it because they're surfacing? I'm diligently applying sunscreen too, but I'm not sure what's going on.
