  The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

  I bought this because it contains lots of ingredients that seemed good for treating dullness! It's lightweight, and even I, whose skin is easily irritated by high-concentration ingredients, was able to use this serum. But I'm a little scared to use it every morning and night, so at the time of posting, I'm only using it in the morning. It feels light, so it seems like it would pair well with heavier skincare too. I haven't seen a dramatic change! But I do feel like my skin has been doing better, so with high hopes for the ingredients too, I want to repurchase it 🫶🏻

  Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum

  This is one of my favorite serums from innisfree. Retinol is the main ingredient, and it’s a little irritating for my sensitive skin, so I only use it at night every other day. It contains retinol and PDRN, so I mainly use it for my pore concerns. So in fall and winter, I focus on using it on my nose and the area around it, where my pores bother me. When I use this, it feels like it keeps my pores from opening all the way and nicely tightened them up for me, so I love using it.

  Retinol Serum Anti-Wrinkle

  I buy this on iHerb and use it. I've been using it for years, and it's not very irritating, and I've never had any peeling from it, so it's an easy-to-use retinol serum. The downside is that the texture is rich, so it feels a little sticky, and it's hard to apply the next skincare product until this has absorbed. It's affordable too, so this is a serum I'd like to repurchase when I run out.

  Derma Healer Pore Tightening Ampoule

  It has a light, watery texture that sinks right into my skin, and it's super moisturizing without feeling sticky—it's the best! I've tried all kinds of pore care products before and had a hard time noticing any results, but with this one, I could actually feel my pores tighten up. The longer I use it, the smoother my skin texture gets, and my skin looks firmer and more radiant too, plus my makeup goes on better. It's non-irritating, so I can comfortably use it morning and night even on my sensitive skin, and the subtle scent is soothing too. It's become a favorite I can't live without as a special treatment for pores and brightening! It is a little pricey, but it really reminded me again just how trustworthy Rejuran is 💭♡

  Dual Effect Ampoule

  It has a rich, viscous texture that adhered perfectly to my skin! It contains a proprietary PDRN developed by a pharmaceutical company, and I thought it would be a powerful ally when I'm worried about a lack of firmness! The price is a little pricey...

  Young Cica Pdrn Trouble Soothing Ampoule

  As I kept using it, I felt like I was getting fewer big whiteheads! It has just the right amount of hydration, and I could use it comfortably even in summer without feeling sticky♪ Rather than giving dramatic results, it's an easy item to add to your regular skincare routine or when you want to give your skin a break!! It's a little lacking in hydration for winter, but I recommend it for anyone who wants hydration in summer while still keeping things light and refreshing♡

  Placenta Vita Serum

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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!!

  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.

  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.
