The niacinamide in it definitely brightened my overall complexion. However, for my deep-rooted dark spots... I think I'll need a more potent product than this gentle one. Being mild, it didn't cause any blemishes on my face at all. The texture is quite runny, so it tends to drip when applied, but once it's on, it feels nice and firm. I think this would be good for those looking to even their skin tone.
ConsWhile the feel isn't bad, it leaves a sticky, tight sensation after application which might be a bit uncomfortable in summer.

For reference, my skin type is dry, thin, and tends to be super sensitive skin. The absorbs well is moisturizing. It has a lighter texture than a runny essence, and when applied, it feels like it's flowing down smoothly. Thanks to the niacinamide, it creates a feeling of a hydration barrier, similar to panthenol, as if a layer of moisture has been added. The best part? No deep dryness at all! While it might feel a bit sticky on your hair at first, since I have dry skin, it absorbs well after a while and feels fine. I love that the ingredients are simple and straightforward, and it didn't cause any blemishes! It's truly a gentle product.
ConsFor those who don't have dry skin, it might feel a bit heavy.

Being a functional serum, I thought it might feel stuffy, but that wasn't the case at all. Instead, it felt like it was applying a thin layer. It's like a thin film wrapping around your skin. To put it positively, it absorbs with a light moisturizing feel, but I think it could be a hit or miss for some people. Even though it's a serum for dark spots and blemishes, I didn't expect much significant effect from a serum alone. However, I've heard quite a few reviews from people around me saying their complexion brightened up. Not 'whitened', but 'brightened'! I'm thinking of trying it as part of my night care routine this summer!
ConsI mentioned it feels like a thin film wrapping around your skin, but this can sometimes feel like an unexpected stuffiness.

The dropper-type applicator allows for hygienic use, and it's easy to control the amount, so I could use it without waste. The minimalist yet luxurious design of the container looks great on my vanity. Texture & Application The texture is a slightly thin water-type formula. It absorbs quickly into the skin with a fresh feel and almost no stickiness, which worked well even for my oily skin. I think it would be especially suitable for use in summer without feeling heavy. The scent is either non-existent or very subtle, so those sensitive to fragrances should have no issues using it. Ingredients & Effects Known for its blemish-fading and complexion-improving properties, I noticed that with consistent use, my skin tone became slightly clearer and my dark spots and blemishes appeared somewhat lighter. Rather than completely eliminating imperfections, it seems to help with overall brightening and refining skin texture. As someone with acne-prone oily skin, I was really pleased to see that the acne marks left on my skin had faded a bit.
ConsThe effects aren't immediate, so those looking for quick changes might feel a bit impatient. However, looking at the ingredient list, it seems like a product that would show more definitive results with long-term, consistent use.

It felt like my skin tone was gradually becoming more even. The hydration was quite good too. The texture is thin and runny, applying smoothly like a slightly viscous toner. It might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin. I'd recommend this for people with dry skin.
ConsAfter application, it leaves a strong oily feeling and finishes a bit sticky. The formula feels quite oily, like it's putting an oil film on your skin, which made my skin feel a bit suffocated. When I applied this product and then tried to layer an emulsion on top, unless I waited for the serum to fully absorb, it seemed to interfere with the emulsion's absorption into the skin. If it were a bit lighter and less oily, I would have continued using it. Unfortunately, it's a product I hesitate to reach for.
TipAfter applying this serum, other skincare products might not absorb well, so make sure to let it fully absorb before applying anything else.
