  Vitamin C Astaxanthin Serum

  1 weekA vitamin C x astaxanthin serum I've used a few high-concentration vitamin C serums before and never really noticed anything, but this one is different! A few hours after applying it, I felt like my dull skin suddenly looked brighter! I use it as my nighttime beauty salon, and by morning my complexion is back to its usual dullness and redness, but it's rare to find a cosmetic product that works so quickly, so I really like it. I'm hoping that with continued use, my skin will look more translucent.

  Liposome Advanced Repair Serum

  1 year or moreMy skin feels completely different the next morning—so much smoother...! I was amazed the first time I used it🥹 Just adding it to my usual skincare routine keeps my skin properly moisturized until morning, and I hardly notice any dryness anymore!! It's a little pricey, but considering how it feels and how moisturizing it is, I think it's good value for money. I love it so much now that I'd be in trouble if I ran out🥹 I definitely want to keep repurchasing it🔁 Also, since it's not irritating, I think it's an absolute winner as a gift for friends🎁 too!

  Premium Rich Plus

  1 monthI tried this product from a cosmetic acupuncture salon at Hiro Odagiri's POPUP, found it really easy to use, and bought it. Usually I start noticing dryness when fall comes around, but when I use this, dryness doesn't bother me at all...! I was amazed! It says to use four pumps each time, but it spreads really well, and being the cheapskate I am, I only use one pump, but my skin has been feeling great! lol I think this product is amazing value for money!

  Salicylic Acid Balancing Formula Serum

  1 weekAnyway, this salicylic acid serum is such a bargain! Trying out the 10ml size! You can get it on iHerb! I've been using a slightly more expensive peeling serum, and if this works, I want to switch to this one. So far I haven't noticed any dramatic results! I'll report back if it's good 💭💭

  The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

  1 monthI 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

  1 year or moreThis 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

  1 year or moreI 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

  1 year or moreIt 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

  1 monthIt 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

  1 year or moreAs 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

  1 weekPlacenta 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

  1 monthHonestly, 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

  1 monthCompared 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

  6 monthsI 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.

  Essence 5CE Premium

  1 monthIt'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

  6 monthsMadagascar 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

  1 monthI'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

  3 monthsI 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.
