The price is way too outrageous... The quantity is really small, but the price is just ㅠㅠ And it's been discontinued..

It's a shame this product has been discontinued. While people were only looking for the brown bottle, I really loved this sky-blue bottle. In less than 2 weeks, my skin tone became clearer, and when I applied it, my skin felt as soft as velvet.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this cosmetic product is really necessary.
I think I'll just buy one more brown bottle instead!!

It helps to brighten up the skin tone with a radiant glow.
It applies well.

These days, my pores seem to have gotten larger, so even using this product, my pores are not covered anymore ㅜㅜ

This has been my must-have product for years
It has excellent sebum control effects, so it's indispensable for me, especially in the summer!

I would advise you to steer clear of this product. 😢

The ingredients are composed of mostly dimethicone and other silicone-based materials, so it's no wonder it applies lightly and isn't sticky. There are also many other poor quality ingredients.

Considering the price, even for a department store brand, this is a particularly poor case. If judging solely on the ingredient-to-effect ratio, I would give it 0.5 points (acknowledging the placebo effect), but since the packaging looks nice, the texture and fragrance are well-designed, and I personally didn't have any breakouts, I'll give it 1 star.

At the time of using this product, I had not used many other products before and was not very knowledgeable about cosmetic ingredients. I thought the product felt much lighter and absorbed better than the products I was familiar with, so I mistakenly thought my skin had improved because of this product.

The advantages would be the lightweight texture and smooth application, the non-heavy and seemingly skin-friendly fragrance, and the luxurious packaging - enough to make even an uninformed person feel a placebo effect.

It's too expensive~~~~~~~Other than that, everything is good~~

I highly recommend this product! My rosacea has disappeared, and I can feel my skin improving~It would be great if this was available at duty-free shops..

If you really want to try it, I'd recommend getting the 100ml travel size when you go on a trip.

While it doesn't cause any breakouts, the formula doesn't seem particularly impressive for sensitive skin and daily use. It's also a bit on the pricier side, so buying the larger duty-free size would be the better option. I don't have plans to repurchase this.

The application is smooth, and my skin feels incredibly soft right after use. It has a similar feel to using a primer, but I have to apply the serum directly to my bare skin and sleep with it on, which makes my skin a bit too velvety and leaves a slightly unclean feeling.

If I only use this, I'll get a breakout in less than a week. It gets better for a little while, but then the breakouts come back when I apply it again. For reference, my skin is sensitive and prone to blemishes.

The product has a very smooth and non-sticky application, leaving a refreshing finish.

If you apply it generously, your face gets very dry
The ingredients are really bad
It had self-tanning properties, but I didn't know that..I bought it thinking it was just a basic skincare product, but since it has self-tanning properties, I feel a bit cheated ㅠㅡㅠ

I started using it around the age of 20 and used about 7 bottles over 6 months
(I used it generously, pouring it on liberally)
I used it day and night, and in between whenever I had the chance in the mornings and afternoons

I started seeing the effects around 4 months after using it.
My skin became clearer overall
I felt the most effect in brightening (making it transparent) my skin
I also saw some whitening (brightening) effects
Even without makeup, my skin outshone my friends' made-up skin..

But..at that time, I strictly followed a diet of nuts, fruits, vegetables, yogurt, protein, and adequate hydration
So I'm not sure if the results were entirely due to this product or not

After looking into it, the price seems a bit disappointing. It doesn't appear to be a high value-for-money product.

I received it as a gift and started using it. The application was smooth, and my acne, which was quite severe, has disappeared.

When used with other cosmetics, it can feel a bit heavy and stuffy.

When you apply it properly and sleep, your skin will be bright and smooth in the morning, which is great.

It gets extremely smeared like dirt. I'll never use it again. It really becomes the strongest dirt as soon as I apply it.

The case is pretty. It has a pearl. There are no advantages...

There is some pilling like a residue. Once it starts pilling, I have to pat it for a while and apply a moisturizer.
When I don't feel like patting it, I just apply the moisturizer and the pilled residue disappears.

The shimmering pearl makes my skin look radiant.
After applying, my skin texture becomes smoother.

- The skin appears brighter due to the pearly particles, but it doesn't actually make the skin itself brighter
- The price is expensive (around 170,000 won)
- When applying makeup or cream, it cakes up like dirt
- The ingredients are the worst

- The fragrance is nice
- Due to the pearly particles, the overall skin appears brighter
and has a radiant glow
