I didn't experience any blemishes and found it gentle on my skin. I can confidently apply it even when my skin isn't at its best. It's a decent product, but personally, I'm giving it three stars due to the scent.
ConsAs someone sensitive to smells, I find the musty odor unbearable and can't use it. Initially, I carefully applied it avoiding the area around my nose, but that's only manageable for a day or two. Even when avoiding my nose area, the unpleasant smell on my palms is too much. After using it for a while, I became so stressed by the scent that I had my mom, who isn't sensitive to smells, test it. She found it okay, so I gave it to her.
TipGiven it's a high-end skincare product, make sure to test it out before committing.

ConsThe scent is quite strong, and the price is equally intense. Unless I receive it as a gift, would I really use it?

I was thinking of starting an anti-aging routine and trusted its functional claims. However, it didn't quite meet my expectations. I heard it works well for people in their 50s and 60s, so I got one for my mother, but I probably won't repurchase it for myself.
ConsWow, true to its reputation, the scent is overwhelmingly strong. Being sensitive to fragrances, I found it challenging to apply each time. I'm almost through the 250ml bottle and haven't noticed any significant effects. It just feels like a regular toner. Not to mention, it's quite expensive too.

As someone with extremely dry skin, I noticed some improvement in dryness, but it doesn't feel like it deeply hydrates. It's supposed to be good for dark spots, but you need to use it for months to see even subtle effects. At this price point, I'm not sure it's worth continuing to use. However, it does seem to refine skin texture and absorbs well. The skin feels more balanced after use.
ConsOh my, the smell is absolutely terrible! I had read reviews about the strong scent, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. At first, it just smelled like alcohol, but recently I noticed a strange odor similar to foot odor. I realized it was coming from my palms as the essence dried. It's truly awful - a mix of bad breath and foot odor. I've never encountered a scent like this before. I thought the Estée Lauder brown bottle had a strong smell, but that was nothing compared to this. The brown bottle just smelled medicinal, but this one has an unpleasant saliva-like odor that makes me feel sick.
TipI think it might be a bit irritating if applied with a cotton pad, so I just dispense it into my hands and let it absorb that way.

Not only does it provide excellent brightening effects, but it also noticeably improves my skin texture.
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. It has a peculiar, lingering smell that's quite off-putting.

It has a nice application and absorbs effectively into the skin.
ConsI've tried various SK-II products, but they've all been irritating and caused a tingling sensation on my skin. Putting aside the effectiveness, the stinging feeling and overpowering fragrance just didn't work for me. Considering the exorbitant price, I couldn't see any noticeable results. The discomfort during application and questionable ingredients make it seem like you're just paying for the brand name.

Using this alone makes my skin feel amazing. I'm extremely satisfied with how it absorbs and applies. It gives a surge of hydration, but since it's a water-like texture, you need to follow up with a moisturizer right away.
ConsIt's a bit pricey if you don't catch it at duty-free shops, and if you've never tried this product before, I strongly recommend testing the scent first. The smell is quite strong - somewhat like enzymes? Apart from that, I'm completely satisfied!

The longer you use it, the more noticeable the smoothing effect becomes.
ConsThe price is too high, so it's not great value for money. Also, the scent is quite overwhelming.

In truth, it's best for those with already good skin who want to maintain their complexion.
ConsIt works, but the smell is overwhelmingly unpleasant. They say you need to use it generously for it to be effective, but given its high price, it's honestly difficult to apply it liberally.
