Pros
1. Fragrance-free: Great for those with scent sensitivities. It's odorless, making it convenient to use. 2. Lightweight formula: The texture is light and absorbs well, leaving skin feeling fresh without any stickiness. 3. Improves hyperpigmentation: Gradually evens out complexion, including acne scars and sun-induced discoloration. 4. Protects against UV and inflammatory pigmentation: Effective in both sun protection and preventing inflammation-induced hyperpigmentation. Particularly beneficial for skin prone to discoloration. 5. Cleaner finish than Vitamin C serums: Unlike many Vitamin C serums that can feel oily, this product leaves a cleaner finish. I'm keen to continue using this product as it offers the features I've been looking for. I've been searching for a brightening moisturizer that not only fades existing hyperpigmentation but also works on multiple levels to prevent melanin from spreading to the skin's surface. I'd recommend this to those who feel they produce excess melanin (easily tans, prone to age spots, freckles, acne marks, and have thin skin).
Cons
1. Inconvenient dropper: The dropper is short and the cap is wide, making it somewhat awkward to use. 2. Opaque packaging: It's impossible to check how much product is left, especially as you near the end. 3. Potential for irritation: Those with super sensitive skin might experience some irritation. I personally felt a gradual burning sensation after using it continuously for a few days, so I reduced the frequency of use.
Tip
Start with small amounts and gradually increase usage. Applying after an aloe mask can boost absorption of active ingredients, as the skin is in a hydrated state.

Pros
This product is a real gem... Usually, it's hard to notice visible effects from blemish or brightening products, right? But with this one, I could definitely feel my skin becoming clearer. Recently, I had some acne scars on my chin that left dark marks. While this product didn't magically make them disappear completely, I used it consistently for quite a long time thanks to the generous Hwahae Testers period. My complexion feels more even and refined now. Of course, I'm also using other skincare products like retinol and other functional items regularly. With 7% niacinamide, it's a high concentration, but I experienced no irritation, and it absorbs well. I've seen many products that are either too harsh or don't absorb well, pilling up on the skin. But this one had no issues at all in terms of application! They really nailed the formula. When I finish this, I'm thinking I'd like to keep using it with my own money! Just wish the size was a bit bigger...
Cons
The downside is that the amount is small for the price...!! I hope they have more sales...

Pros
As I've entered my 30s, I've been increasingly concerned about freckles and pigmentation that I never had before. Fortunately, I got the chance to try this ampoule containing niacinamide. The texture isn't too runny, with just the right consistency to adhere gently to the skin and absorb quickly. This made it comfortable to use both morning and night. I also appreciated that it's fragrance-free. While using it, I noticed my complexion seemed slightly more even, and my pores appeared a bit smoother. Rather than dramatic changes, it was more like an overall improvement in skin condition and clarity. It was gentle enough to use even when my skin was sensitive, without causing any irritation. I believe with consistent use, the effects will become more noticeable over time. As someone with super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes after using this product - it's a winner! I'd recommend this to anyone looking to start a targeted skincare routine without overwhelming their skin.
Cons
The price point is a bit high, so I might not be able to purchase it frequently. The product itself is good though.
Tip
Since I have redness-prone skin, I followed up this ampoule with a cooling moisturizer. This combination really seemed to brighten my complexion.

Pros
A quick preview of the overall review: Starting with the most anticipated aspect - the blemish improvement effect, as suggested by the product name 'Dark Spot Clear Serum'. My complexion became brighter and I felt an overall cleaner look, though I didn't experience any dramatic effects like complete disappearance of blemishes. Personally, I sometimes find niacinamide incompatible depending on my skin condition. This product contains a high 7% niacinamide, which initially worried me, but so far I've been able to apply it without any irritation. Packaging and texture: The simple package with a dropper allows for hygienic use when dispensing or applying. The texture is viscous yet runny and fluid. Hydration: Despite its fluid texture, it provides enough moisture to address deep dryness, making it not too light (though you might want to add another moisturizer for complete hydration). Blemish improvement: While there's no dramatic change in blemishes yet, I feel my overall skin tone has brightened, giving me a healthier-looking complexion. I plan to continue using it consistently! User experience: Personally, I sometimes find niacinamide incompatible depending on my skin condition. However, I could apply this product without any blemishes or irritation, and the ingredients seemed gentle and good. Additional notes: I barely noticed any scent, and even with multiple layers, there's no pilling or heavy feeling.
Cons
The price feels slightly high compared to the amount of product.
Tip
Due to the high niacinamide content, those who are sensitive to this ingredient may experience irritation. It's advisable to patch test or use with caution before full application!

Pros
I've been a huge fan of Reina's YouTube channel, so I was really curious about this product! Just from watching her videos, I felt confident in the product. Even though I have sensitive skin, I didn't feel any hesitation using it for the first time. I always make sure to apply niacinamide, and I love that this product has a good concentration of it. It also contains ingredients that help prevent the formation of dark spots, which is great! After about two weeks of use, I noticed my complexion became slightly brighter, giving me a more vibrant look. I'll definitely keep applying it consistently morning and night!
Cons
It's quite pricey for the amount you get... However, if I see noticeable results after finishing the whole bottle, I plan to keep using it because it absorbs well and feels good on the skin.
Tip
For synergistic effects, use it together with retinol or vitamin products!

Pros
♥ Usage period: 2 weeks ♥ Dropper-type with a water-like texture ♥ Recommended for skin seeking complexion brightening
Cons
Applied as the first step after cleansing, I was impressed by how quickly it absorbs, feeling like it instantly sinks into dry skin. The brightening ingredients adhere firmly, making the skin feel plump and resilient when pressed with the palm. I personally loved how it gave my forehead area a glow, making the overall experience excellent. With its high concentration of brightening ingredients, EWG green-grade components, and completion of low-irritation tests for sensitive skin, it's great that even those with super sensitive skin like me can use it safely. With ingredients that prevent melanin production in three ways, I expect consistent use will result in clear and radiant skin.
Tip
After applying it once all over, I applied a second layer on areas with blemishes, like the cheekbones. As I have dry skin, I finished with a nourishing emulsion, hydrating moisturizer, and brightening moisturizer. The synergy between these products left my skin incredibly moisturized and noticeably brighter.

Pros
Complexion improvement effect While there wasn't a dramatic change where dark spots noticeably faded, I was satisfied with the overall brightening of my skin tone. My skin looked more even, which made my makeup application much more natural. Moisturizing hydration I have dry skin, so products lacking hydration show immediately, but this serum gave a deeply moisturizing feeling from the moment I applied it. Thanks to this, I could get through seasonal changes without any tightness, using just this serum without needing an extra rich cream. Lightweight oil formula As you can see in the photo, the texture is slightly fluid, like an oil. It's neither too heavy nor too thin, absorbing gently into the skin and easy to spread with fingers. It doesn't feel oily, but has a similar fluidity, and didn't feel heavy at all!
Cons
Dark spot improvement takes time If you're expecting quick results because of the 'Clear Dark Spot Traces' claim, you might be disappointed. It's a product that gradually improves skin tone with consistent use, so it's better to approach it as a long-term care option rather than expecting short-term effects. Some concerns for daytime use Given that it's a product for dark spots and blemishes, it might be sensitive to UV rays, so I only used it at night. It's not clear if it's safe to use during the day, so I was particularly cautious on sunny days. In that sense, it seems more suitable for evening routines than daytime use. I made it a rule to use it only in the evening. It's good to avoid skin irritation and allow it to absorb comfortably while sleeping.
Tip
Due to its texture, apply on the back of your hand first Since the formula is smooth and slightly fluid like oil, rather than dropping it directly on your face, it's better to dispense it on the back of your hand and spread it bit by bit. This ensures better absorption and prevents waste. Layering the serum is great for extremely dry skin days After applying once, let it absorb for a moment, then add another layer on dry areas. This was definitely effective in relieving deep dryness.

Pros
This serum has a thin, fluid texture that flows easily. It's transparent with no added colorants and fragrance-free. The hydration it provides is incredible! At first, I thought it might feel sticky, but as it combats the dryness of changing seasons, I'm thoroughly enjoying using it. After a week of use, I feel like my complexion has become slightly brighter. I'm not sure about its effects on dark spots though.
Cons
The consistency is very watery, so you need to be careful when applying to prevent it from dripping.

Pros
Hwahae Testers review! Always grateful for The Hwahae Testers' insights! Before diving into the product review, let me quickly highlight the key points: I've given this product 4 stars because it has clear strengths and weaknesses. -Review- As a reviewer with sensitive skin prone to freckles and hyperpigmentation, I used this serum morning and night for 10 days. The most noticeable change was how my complexion became visibly brighter - and I mean it! My previously dull and patchy skin looked more even overall. Even existing areas of hyperpigmentation seemed slightly lighter (including acne scars). There was hardly any irritation, and I didn't experience any redness or blemishes. The whitening active ingredients seem to work quite effectively. The high niacinamide content likely contributed to the brightening effect and improved skin texture. However, there were also clear drawbacks. The texture is quite sticky and heavy. Even after some time, it felt like something was left on my skin, and its poor absorption made it difficult to use with other products. When layering with moisturizer or sunscreen, it tended to pill or slide off. It was also annoying that the product transferred to my pillow when used before bed. Applying too much at once made my face feel stuffy and suffocated. It might be uncomfortable to use in summer.
Cons
I've already mentioned the drawbacks above! To sum up, while I was satisfied with the ingredients and effects, the user experience needs improvement. I can recommend this product if you're focused on reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone, but users who are sensitive to absorption and texture might find it disappointing.

Pros
A refreshing, lightweight, and hydrating serum! It's supposed to improve dark spots and pigmentation. While I haven't noticed any dramatic effects, I do feel like my complexion is gradually becoming brighter! With 7% niacinamide, I think consistent use might help escape dull skin.
Cons
It's just an all-around decent product without any real drawbacks! It's not heavy and doesn't cause any pilling with makeup.
Tip
This seems like a skincare product that requires consistent application to see more noticeable results.
