I saw a YouTube video that said to apply this lotion to acne on a cotton pad and wait 10 minutes, and that if you repeat this for a few days, the marks will disappear. Since it was cheap, I decided to give it a try, and it really did disappear. So much so that I no longer needed the acne medications from the dermatologist. You can cut the cotton pad and use it on specific areas, so it's no problem even if multiple acne breakouts occur at the same time. It was too humid for me to wait 10 minutes, so I could only do 5, but it was extremely effective. I've tried various vitamin C lotions and serums, and I've learned that applying a proper amount is more important than whether it works.
I used it together with the serum and the rest of the product. The serum didn't really suit my skin, but the lotion was good. Especially in the summer, when I came home from being exposed to the sun, I would apply this to my body after taking a shower and a bath, and I felt like it helped maintain my white skin. Even though I don't have as many opportunities to go out or exercise these days, I still received compliments that my skin was the whitest when I used to do this. I recommend it for skin care after getting sunburned in the summer!
It's not me, but my husband (30s, oily skin) who has been using it for several months, and since he barely takes care of his skin, the results were visible. His pores seem to have become smaller, his skin texture is smoother, and his skin feels plumper. However, since he has naturally dark skin, it doesn't seem like it will lighten his skin.

Considering the price and volume, it's good value for money as you can use it without being stingy. It's good for people who are looking for a lotion at this price. Some people may find it a little lacking in winter. I think summer is the best season. It's especially good to use in the morning before going out to be exposed to UV rays.
