  Pros

  Skin type of the reviewer: Oily with large pores + emerging dark spots While it's a shame I can't fully document the effects as this product needs long-term use, I'm satisfied with the brightening effect that's visible in the photos. When applied as part of my evening skincare routine, it felt comfortable on my skin overnight. For those sensitive to fragrances, don't worry! It's completely odorless, which I consider another plus. I plan to continue using it for a while longer! This product really makes me excited about its potential results.

  Cons

  As someone with oily skin, I found it too rich to apply frequently throughout the day, so I only used it at night. After application, there's a lingering sticky feeling, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who are bothered by that sensation.

  Tip

  For those with extremely oily skin, I recommend applying this product after using a niacinamide serum in your evening routine to balance out the rich texture!

  Pros

  I received this product through The Hwahae Testers and used it every evening for two weeks. The texture has a slight viscosity with no fragrance! Hydration: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, my top priority when choosing skincare is hydration. This serum left my skin feeling moisturized immediately after application and for a long time afterward. It's especially great for those with dry skin, as the hydration feels deep and not just surface-level! Gentle: I have super sensitive skin that can react with redness, itching, or small blemishes when using irritating products. However, I experienced none of these issues during the two-week trial period! While individual experiences may vary, I found this product to be very gentle on my skin.

  Cons

  Minimal improvement for dark spots and pigmentation: Despite this being a key feature of the product, I honestly didn't notice any lightening of existing dark spots or scars over the two-week period. This could be due to long-standing pigmentation issues, or it might require longer use to see results. However, the short-term effects seem limited. Residue: There was a slight stickiness that remained even after applying moisturizer. While this disappeared when using thicker creams or sunscreen, it could be problematic for those who prefer lighter moisturizers or want to apply makeup immediately after skincare.

  Tip

  While I didn't see effects on long-standing pigmentation, I did notice that newer scars seemed to lose their redness more quickly! Rather than expecting this product to erase existing dark spots, it might be better to think of it as preventing new pigmentation or gradually brightening your complexion over time.

  Pros

  I was thrilled to try this product packed with ingredients that block and inhibit melanin production while managing existing melanin traces. As someone who's always been interested in brightening and blemish care, I've consistently used products with vitamin C, arbutin, and tranexamic acid for complexion management. This allowed me to objectively compare its effectiveness, application, and absorption. The serum has a water-like consistency with low viscosity, feeling lightweight initially. However, after absorption, it leaves a slightly rich and sticky feeling. It's not particularly hydrating, so you'll need to focus on additional moisture. The product should be used primarily for its brightening ingredients rather than its moisturizing properties. The melanin-targeting ingredient composition is excellent, but unfortunately, there were several issues that prevented consistent use to truly experience its effects... I've detailed these concerns in the 'bad_text' section below.

  Cons

  The product doesn't absorb smoothly, leaving a sticky residue that can cause pilling when applied under makeup, making it somewhat impractical for daytime use. Despite its great ingredients, it's disappointing that it's best suited only for nighttime use as part of a basic skincare routine. The most significant issue is the various blemishes it triggered. With no changes to my routine other than adding this product, my usually clear skin developed numerous small bumps, and my cheeks became inflamed with redness resembling a rash. As noted in other reviews, there seems to be something in it that causes irritation or blemishes for those with even slightly sensitive skin. Alternatively, the rich, sticky finish might create a film on the skin, leading to these issues by making the skin feel suffocated. While I have sensitive skin, I usually tolerate high concentrations of retinol and vitamin C well. Oddly, this product was too irritating, causing small blemishes that prevented continued use. It's disappointing that a product I had high hopes for fell short in both usability and effectiveness.

  Pros

  - No irritation, gentle on skin Although it's a functional ampoule, I like that it's not harsh. I haven't used it long-term yet, but after using it for a few days, I didn't experience any burning, heat, or irritation. No blemishes appeared either. - Lightweight formula It has an extremely light, water-like texture. When dispensed with the dropper, it's a clear liquid that flows smoothly. - Quick absorption As light as the formula is, its fast absorption is notable. Just gently spreading it on the face leaves no residual moisture feeling. - Cute ampoule design The small, white bottle looks adorable, reminiscent of a baby's milk bottle.

  Cons

  - Sticky residue Despite its water-like, light ampoule texture, it leaves a tacky feeling on the skin after application (not a plump, hydrated feeling, just sticky on the surface...)

  Tip

  Given its lightweight nature, you might want to choose a toner before and a cream after with sufficient hydration.
