Placenta serums are pretty rare, and since it also contains niacinamide, I thought it sounded like an appealing anti-aging serum. It has little capsules in it that melt right away as you work it into your skin. It feels light and non-sticky but still leaves my skin properly moisturized, so it's easy to use in the morning. I do feel like it plumps up my pores and makes them a little less noticeable, but honestly, I don't think it necessarily has to be this particular serum. It's easy to use—nothing particularly good or bad about it.

Madagascar Centella Ampoule

Honestly, this product is satisfying to use in any season. It’s great even when my skin is feeling sensitive, and since it leaves a clean finish, it’s also really easy to layer other skincare products on top.

Vita-Light Reedle Shot 300

Compared to the regular 300, it has a more watery texture and only a slight tingling sensation, so I think it's easy to use. I use it once every 2 or 3 days before applying a sheet mask, but it feels neither particularly good nor bad. Its role is to help the next skincare products absorb better, so I think it's doing its job as an unsung hero behind the scenes. I like Reedle Shot itself, so I plan to always keep one of the versions stocked, but I haven't particularly noticed any pore care or brightening effects from this alone.

Pola

Wrinkle Shot Medical Serum N

I bought the grand size. I used about 90% of it in roughly a year. Even if you apply it generously, it lasts quite a long time, so the value for money isn't that bad. I mainly used it on my smile lines. It's advertised as if it works on wrinkles that have already formed, but there's no way it can get rid of expression lines. It might get rid of fine, crepey wrinkles, though. I didn't notice any particularly dramatic results, but I haven't developed any new wrinkles at the corners of my eyes or around my smile lines. So I think it may be effective for maintaining the status quo, but if that's all, I also feel like it doesn't have to be this expensive eye cream.

Madagascar Centella Teca Ampoule

It has a fresh, watery texture that just melts right into my skin!! It’s not very sticky and feels light and refreshing, so it’s easy to add to both my morning and nighttime skincare routines! I love that it gives my skin moisture, making it great to use when dryness is bothering me too♡ I’d also recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like products that feel heavy! It has a simple feel and is easy to pair with other skincare products!

Takami

Essence 5CE Premium

It's easy to use! It's neither irritating nor sticky, feels light, and absorbs well. While a lot of vitamin products tend to feel oily, this one has a watery texture, so I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't like oil-based products. I think the ingredients are pretty mild. It doesn't have as much of that vitamin C feel you get from Melano CC Essence or Obagi... It did feel richer than Whiteologist (though that uses kojic acid). The concentration isn't high, but it feels like it has a good balance of different ingredients. With vitamin C products like Melano CC Essence and Obagi 25, the oxidation (discoloration) after application is so bad that my face starts looking dull even while I'm wearing makeup, so I can't use them during the day, but this one doesn't oxidize and make my skin look dull, so it's great that I can use it during the day. It's a vitamin serum that's very hassle-free to use and easy to stick with. It's a little pricey, though... It might be my favorite among high-end brightening products? Among vitamin C products, the biggest pluses are that it isn't sticky at all and I didn't notice any discoloration after oxidation. Obagi 25 oxidized so badly and was really hard to work with, so I'm thinking of switching to this one.

Madagascar Centella Ampoule

Madagascar Centella Ampoule is seriously such a great product to use every day without worrying when your skin needs soothingg. This is my honest review after actually using up several bottles that I bought with my own money!! When my skin freaks out or feels extra sensitive, it gently calms it down without any irritation!! Maybe because it's 100 percent centella asiatica extract, it feels comfortably soothing without that heaviness you get from chemical ingredients! The texture is so light and refreshing that it doesn't pill at all even if you layer it several times. Even if you apply cream or lotion afterward, your makeup doesn't lift and goes on really nicely!!

Derma Factory

Niacinamide 20% serum

I've only just started using it, but so far it feels really nice! I mix one drop into my usual skincare. It's an intensive product with 20% niacinamide, but I haven't noticed any irritation in particular (I'm also used to high concentrations). It's not sticky, and it's colorless and clear, so it's easy to use. It doesn't have any moisturizing power on its own, and feels more like something you add to your routine. The price is also super cheap, which is a huge help... It's perfect if you just want to add niacinamide to your usual skincare. Both the feel and the price make it easy to keep using! I'm hoping it'll get rid of dullness and make my skin look more radiant~ I'll reevaluate it after I've used it for a while, including any changes and effects on my skin!

Vita 10 Porestrix Brightening Serum

I bought this in Qoo10's vitamin box because I was concerned about my pores, but it didn't agree with my skin. It had a lightweight, watery texture and wasn't sticky, but I couldn't stand the scent. It stings if you use it when your skin is irritated, so you need to be careful. The liquid has a strong yellow color, and it was a nightmare when I spilled a little T_T Like the yellow wipe-off toner, it needs to be kept in the fridge. I like Anua's vitamin sheet masks and vitamin wipe-off toner, but I have sensitive skin and this product didn't work for me.

From Nature

Age Intense Treatment Essence

I bought this during Yahoo! Shopping's 50% off sale 🛒 The one I bought was the Age Intense Treatment Essence (toner), the large 340 ml pump bottle, but I wanted to spray it all over my body after bathing, so I replaced the nozzle with one from MUJI 🪂 It's maybe just sliiightly thick? I'd recommend it if you like to splash on a generous amount. It's fragrance-free too, so I feel like it's a versatile product that would suit pretty much anyone. Of course it leaves my skin moisturized, but I also love how it makes my skin look brighter and more radiant ✨️It's one of the toners I'm glad I discovered in 2026 🎖️

Reedle Shot 300

I use it once every three days. The first time I used it, I felt a prickly pain. I could feel the prickling, but I didn't experience any irritation or redness. After using it for about two weeks, the prickling became less noticeable, and I felt like my skin was in better condition than before. The texture is thicker than the 100, but it spreads well, and if you're only using it on your face, 2-3 pumps is enough, so one bottle lasts quite a while. After applying it, I gently press my hands against my face. I can feel the prickling when I do that, but it makes me feel like the beauty needles are properly adhering to my skin, so that's how I use it. When my skin is severely irritated, it hurts, so I don't use this because it's stimulating and stick to gentler skincare instead.

No.5 Glutathione TXA Advanced Dark Spot Ampoule Concentrate

This is the type of serum where you mix in the powder when you open it, but it took forever for the powder to come down, so it was a struggle at first. The serum is watery with no thickness. The glutathione smell is pretty intense, which makes me feel like it might actually work. After using it consistently, I do feel like my skin tone is getting brighter, or rather, more even. I can only use it at night because of the smell, but there's a good chance I'll repurchase.

Galac Niacin 3.0 Essence

I've been using this serum forever, and I've lost count of how many times I've repurchased it. It was the first Korean beauty serum that I actually saw results from, and it was also what got me hooked on Korean beauty. I use it as a first-step serum, and the texture and ingredients don't interfere with whatever I apply next, so I can use it anytime. It gets rid of dullness and makes my skin brighter and smoother. That said, it's been improved several times and is now 3.0, but for some reason, the smell has bothered me since this version came out. I also noticed the effects more with the earliest version. I first used it over five years ago, so maybe my skin has changed, but it's strange that the smell seems different.

Madeca Toning Essence Treatment

I bought this hoping to improve my acne-prone skin. It's a large size. The bottle is thick, so it takes up space. Also, the screw-off cap is a bit of a hassle. I like the fresh green scent. I had this image of toners for irritated skin being watery, so I was surprised that this one is actually viscous and also a little irritating. I didn't feel like it was particularly effective for acne. But it was an easy-to-use toner that was somewhere between moisturizing and refreshing.

Reedle Shot 300

A first-step serum I've repurchased over and over. I use it at the beginning of my skincare routine. Just using an expensive serum isn't enough, using a first-step serum along with it makes it even better. A must-have in my daily skincare routine! VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 300 With VT Cosmetics' proprietary "CICA REEDLE™," it provides intensive care for firmness and radiance while refining skin texture. The prickly feeling is just right! Before using my favorite serum, I always use Reedle Shot 300!

Estée Lauder

Aqua Charge Medicated Serum Essence

An essence formulated with one of my favorite ingredients, Rice Power No. 11 Alpha. At first, I was using it as a full line with the lotion and cream, but the lotion and essence contain ethanol, and around the third day my skin started feeling rough and stiff, so I gave up on using the full line. Now I use each product separately, paired with ethanol-free skincare. Rice Power No. 11 Alpha is an active ingredient that improves the skin's moisture-retention ability, helping it develop the power to keep itself hydrated. For a serum, it has a rich feel and leaves my skin smooth and even. The appeal is that the day after using it, my skin feels thoroughly replenished with moisture. I can use it on its own without my skin feeling rough and stiff, but having to be careful about how I combine it with other skincare is a bit of a hassle, so I don't plan to repurchase. The Aqua Charge line was released with a formula for sensitive skin, but it seems it just wasn't right for me, since ethanol irritates my skin.

PDRN Hyaluronic Capsule 100 Serum

I've used about three bottles so far. It has a lightweight texture but is highly moisturizing, so it was really useful for both my nighttime skincare routine and before applying makeup in the morning. With continued use, I feel like it smooths out my skin texture and gives my skin a nice glow. It's an excellent serum that can be used year-round.
