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

Feels like applying a lightweight toner Absorption: Absorbs extremely quickly, likely due to its water-like texture. It sinks into the skin rapidly upon application Feel on skin: After application, it glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a very firm and hydrated feeling. It fills in deep moisture. However, it stung a bit on areas with blemishes or wounds Scent: Almost fragrance-free. No noticeable smell, making it suitable for those sensitive to fragrances Dark spots and blemishes: After use, dark spots and blemish marks seemed to fade, making the skin appear brighter and more radiant. I've been concerned about acne scars, pigmentation, and dark spots, and after closely observing the patchy areas on my cheekbones, I noticed they gradually became less noticeable. It seems effective, but consistent long-term use is necessary to see significant before-and-after differences Overall impression As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found this product to be a good match. It feels like it fills in the skin without being too heavy, absorbing lightly. Unlike using serums and creams that can be too heavy and cause blemishes or oiliness, this provides adequate hydration with just a single drop, striking a good balance. However, it did sting and feel irritating on wounds or popped pimples, so it's not particularly gentle as it's a functional product. It might be too intense for daily use morning and night, so I'll probably alternate it with other products and use it occasionally
ConsI'm not sure if it's clogging my pores or if it's due to the heavy texture typical of combination dehydrated skin products, but I can't use it daily. My sensitive combination skin started developing what looked like pustular blemishes. When I stopped using it, the blemishes disappeared and my skin improved, but they reappeared when I started using it again I might need to reduce usage to every other day or once every 2-3 days, or use it only once a day instead of both morning and night While it's not extremely sticky, those who dislike any stickiness might have mixed feelings about this product
TipPersonally, I found that it works well when paired with a moisturizer that doesn't feel too heavy, as some combinations can feel overwhelming

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 was lucky enough to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and focused on using this functional product in my evening skincare routine without makeup for a week. The texture is quite fluid, and being a serum, it absorbs lightly rather than feeling heavy. It's definitely thicker than a runny ampoule though. Even with my combination skin that changes with the seasons, I didn't feel any dryness. I'm sensitive to fragrances and prefer unscented products, and this one didn't have any overwhelming scent. It's close to being fragrance-free, I'd say. The glass packaging is lovely - perhaps to prevent product discoloration? I like the size and design that fits nicely in hand. I consider portability too, so the smaller amount is actually a plus for me. It would be convenient for travel, making me reach for it often. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for managing complexion issues like brightening and pigmentation.
ConsWhile a week might be a short period for a review, here are my thoughts: I didn't experience any major blemishes. Although it's marketed for brightening and anti-wrinkle, it seems more focused on brightening. Using it alone might not be enough. Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in hydration. Honestly, I'm not sure about its tone-evening effects. The product claims to work on dark spots and blemishes, but I think it would take longer use to really notice results. Also, the price feels a bit steep for the amount you get.
TipEven though it's a dark spot serum, it's not heavy, so you could layer it on problem areas to let it absorb better. If you find it drying, it might work well combined with more hydrating products. Brightening is always a concern for me, so I think this could be a good addition to a daily skincare routine for maintenance. It seems like an approachable product for all ages looking to address complexion issues.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, I love how sleek and luxurious the packaging is. I've been using it for about two weeks, and it's gentle enough to use with retinol in my evening routine without irritating my sensitive skin. It's a relief to apply it worry-free. Being colorless and fragrance-free, I highly recommend it for those sensitive to scents. The brand seems to have put a lot of effort into both the formula and functionality, living up to the 'Lab' in its name. It makes me excited to try their other products. The texture is lighter than a runny nose serum but doesn't drip like a watery toner. You can layer it without any pilling or clumping. While you might think all formulas are similar, there's a subtle difference here - it absorbs well and doesn't cause makeup to pill even when applied before foundation, making it perfect for the upcoming summer. I prefer products that are neutral but hydrating. I don't feel any tightness, and since I layer moisturizer on top, it's great for building a solid skincare base. While it's hard to measure improvements in pigmentation and dark spots after just two weeks, my complexion seems a bit clearer. Highly recommended!
ConsI haven't experienced any blemishes, and compared to other vitamin C products, it's more comfortable to use. So far, I don't have any particular complaints.
TipWhen my skin is in good condition, I use this alongside retinol in my evening skincare routine.

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'll write all reviews honestly without embellishment. I have oily skin that's prone to redness and a bit sensitive. 1. Suitable for morning and evening use Formulated with gentle ingredients, it causes no irritation or discomfort even for sensitive skin! 2. Free of harmful ingredients, packed with clean ingredients 3. Application The lightweight texture applies smoothly! Recommended for those who dislike heavy formulas! 4. High concentration of active ingredients One of the key ingredients, niacinamide, helps inhibit melanin production and fade pigmentation like dark spots! It also helps even out the skin tone with a notably high concentration of 7%.
Cons1. I used it for longer than 2 weeks! In the photo, the area covered by eyelashes is a mole! The purple circle is a dark spot, and I didn't see results as dramatic as advertised. However, issues like dark spots and freckles are difficult to eliminate quickly, so I think long-term use might show better results. Make lifestyle changes and use consistently! 2. Stickiness After applying the serum, it feels stickier than expected, which can be a bit bothersome. Use a small amount for easy makeup application and sufficient hydration - amount control is crucial! 3. Disappointing quantity for the price
TipUse sunscreen diligently to help block melanin, which causes dark spots and blemishes, and protect your skin from UV rays while using this product.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros1. 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 of the bottle. 3. Potential for irritation: Those with sensitive skin might experience some irritation. I personally felt a gradual warming sensation after using it continuously for a few days, so I reduced the frequency of use afterward.
Cons1. 스포이드 불편: 스포이드가 짧고 뚜껑은 넓적해서 뭔가 불편해요. 2.불투명한 패키징: 용량을 확인할 수 없어서 마지막까지 얼마나 남았는지 알기 어려워요. 3.자극이 있을 수 있음: 민감성 피부라면 자극을 느낄 수 있어요. 저도 처음 며칠 연속 사용했을 때 점점 열감이 느껴져서 이후 빈도를 줄였습니다.
TipStart with a small amount and gradually increase usage frequency. Applying after an aloe vera mask can boost absorption of active ingredients, as your skin will be in a hydrated state.

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.ProsIngredients: I watched a YouTube video by Jeina explaining whitening ingredients, and the ones in this product seem really generous! It's reassuring to know that it blocks pigmentation in stages. While the effects may not be immediate, I'll keep applying it consistently for future benefits! Texture: It has a fluid consistency that applies lightly. However, even though I don't have dry skin, I felt some deep dryness on days I used this ampoule. I usually apply toner-ampoule-cream, and when I switched just the ampoule to this Layer-up one, I felt some tightness. On another day, when I layered the ampoule twice, the tightness disappeared. But applying it twice made my face too shiny. Also, when I used this ampoule with the Layer-up barrier cream and applied makeup, it pilled terribly on my face... So I'm considering using this ampoule with a different cream.
ConsThe downside is the price. I felt it with the cream too, but the ampoule seems expensive as well! When choosing skincare, I consider using a product for at least 6 months, so a high price makes me hesitate. However, because the ingredients are so good, I'd consider repurchasing if there's a sale or special offer!

Skin type: Combination skin, prone to dryness during seasonal changes. Texture & Application: The formula is quite fluid. It has a water-like consistency that absorbs quickly and applies lightly. It would be great to use before makeup. User experience: I've been worried about some stubborn blemishes on my cheeks for months, but after using this product, they seem to have faded - I'm thrilled! It contains vitamin E and niacinamide, which are great for brightening, so it seems to be effective in improving complexion. While long-term use might be needed to see effects on dark spots, the overall brightening of my skin suggests it could help prevent them too. Despite its high concentration of active ingredients, it's not heavy or irritating. It's so gentle that even those with super sensitive skin should find it suitable.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but to see definitive results, you'll likely need to use it consistently over a long period.

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.ProsMy skin type: combination dehydrated skin, prone to deep dryness in fall/winter, and dead skin cells Recently, my overall health declined, leading to blemishes and hyperpigmentation due to fatigue and stress. However, after using this product, I noticed an improvement in my hyperpigmentation. The formula absorbs quickly, leaving a slightly rich feel afterwards. As someone with dehydrated skin, I found this richness helpful in combating deep dryness. It feels light upon application, and while there's a bit of stickiness right after, it doesn't feel heavy. Even in the morning, my skin felt hydrated without any tightness. When I applied makeup over this serum, it went on smoothly without pilling or patchiness. The product is nearly fragrance-free, making it suitable for those sensitive to scents. I was able to use this even during periods when my skin was super sensitive, without experiencing any redness or tingling. I'm satisfied with its effectiveness in addressing deep dryness and hyperpigmentation.
ConsAs mentioned earlier, the product leaves a slightly rich texture after application. While it wasn't excessive and worked well for my combination dehydrated skin in managing deep dryness, those with oily skin or an aversion to any stickiness might want to keep this in mind when considering a purchase.
TipGiven its rich texture, I recommend pairing it with a light moisturizer. I had a cream that was too light for my dehydrated skin, but when I used it in combination with the Layer Lab Clear Serum, it wasn't drying at all. In fact, it balanced out the serum's richness, creating a great combination. Also, since it's not too heavy for pre-makeup use, you can comfortably incorporate it into both your morning and evening skincare routines for consistent use.

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.
