I've been using this for a while, and when I ran out I was torn between other serums and this one, but I ended up choosing this one. Considering the price, quantity, and ingredients, I think it's a great value for the money. Since using this, I feel like my skin has become less rough.
It's in gel form and blends easily into the skin. It leaves the skin feeling moisturized. The scent is faint, not as strong as foreign brands. It doesn't bother me that much. It spreads easily, so one pump feels like a lot. I've only just started using it, so I'll test the whitening effect. I'm happy to be able to buy a department store beauty serum at this price. ~~...
I really liked the product before the renewal and have been using it continuously for many years. It brightens and removes dullness from the face, blends well with the skin, and is not sticky, so I loved it. Personally, I don't feel that this product has as much effect, and it feels thicker, which I don't like. I haven't repurchased it.
I've been using the whitening serum for a long time, but I recently bought this one since it was replaced with this one. Texture: A white, slightly translucent gel. Scent: It's now a floral scent. Honestly, I liked the previous rosemary scent, so I'm glad. Usability: I was able to use it without stinging, regardless of whether my skin was irritated or not. My skin was sensitive at the time, but it was fine. However, I didn't notice much of an effect, and I didn't notice any changes to my acne scars. The sunburn on my cheeks has healed a little, but I'm not sure if it's because of this serum. Also, I don't really like the scent, so it's noticeable for quite a while when I have it on my face. It's a brand I trust, but I'd have to consider whether I'll repurchase.
