COSRXThe Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum
I use this around my period or when I get acne, and since I haven't gotten any noticeable acne scars since I started using it, I wonder if that's thanks to this? It seems to work on dark spots, freckles, and skin clarity too, but I don't use it every day, so I can't really say. Also, I use it specifically for its soothing effect, so it's not particularly moisturizing or anything. I think it's good to apply it to my skin as a precaution when my skin is acting up, then get moisture from other skincare products. I'll keep counting on its soothing effect!

COSRXThe Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum
I tried it because it seemed like it might help with melasma and skin redness, but after one bottle, I couldn't really tell if it had any effect. In a good way, it barely feels like anything on the skin, so I think it works fine slotted into a routine like toner → this → other serums. It does feel a little sticky, but not enough to really bother me. It didn't irritate my skin, so it's not that it doesn't agree with me, but I guess I won't know unless I keep using it a little longer... I'd seen a lot of promos that made it seem like it would work quickly, so it was a bit of a letdown. There are other products I'm interested in too, so I'm not considering repurchasing for now.

AstaliftWhite Jelly Aquarysta
I feel like Astalift White Jelly makes my skin look plumper! When I apply this right after washing my face, I feel like the toner I use afterward absorbs better too! Whenever I use Astalift, my skin behaves so much better.

KoséSekkisei Brightening Essence Lotion
It feels so nice on my skin when I chill it in the fridge before using it! I liked how it felt better with a cotton pad than with my hands🎶 Since it's so lightweight, it might not be moisturizing enough for people with dry skin. When it's not enough, I layer a different toner on top!

NumbuzinNo.3 Skin Softening Serum
Numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum I use it as my morning and evening serum. It has a viscous texture, but it doesn't feel too heavy and has a light feel that's easy to blend into the skin. Even though it's viscous, it feels thoroughly moisturizing, while still being easy to use in my morning skincare routine, and I liked that it didn't feel too heavy even before makeup. At night, I've been incorprating it before emulsion and cream, and I feel like it smooths out my skin texture. I think it's a convenient serum that's easy to incorporate both morning and night.

HAKUMelanofocus EV
I've been using it for a long time because I want to lighten my skin. It feels cool when I apply it to my skin. It doesn't fade dark spots or anything, so I apply it every night to prevent them ◎ I can't really say it definitely works! so if I find a good alternative, I might switch to that.

-
MediCubeTXA Niacinamide 15% Serum
I used this to brighten my skin tone and help with dark spots and dullness. Honestly, I didn't really notice much of a visible effect. The texture is light and not too sticky, but sometimes it did feel a little tacky. It doesn't feel all that moisturizing. Rather than giving dramatic results, I think it's the kind of product you use long-term and hope to see gradual changes with.

ObagiNeo C25 Vitamin C Serum
This is a high-concentration vitamin C serum. I've kept using it to prevent dark spots. I've tried a lot of vitamin C serums, but I like the quality of this one and how well it absorbs. It has an oily texture, but it's also nice how it sinks right in. I can definitely tell that it's effective at preventing dark spots. As for making them lighter... it doesn't seem like it has... But I think it does a really good job of preventing dark spots while I'm using it. It's the best product for dark spot prevention. Honestly, I also think the cheaper, more affordable Melano CC might be good enough. I think consistency is the most important thing, and Obagi 25 is a little too expensive for me, so I'm not sure if I can keep using it... If I could afford to keep using it, Obagi 25 would be the best, though. Also, this isn't limited to Obagi 25 and applies to vitamin C products in general, but the higher the concentration, the more residue it leaves on your skin if you don't properly wash it off. It's clear when you apply it, but after a few hours it oxidizes and turns a yellowish to pinkish color. Quite a bit of that color stays behind if you don't remove it thoroughly with cleanser... Since Obagi 25 has a high concentration, the color after applying it bothered me quite a bit. It also stains the collars of white clothes, so I thought that's something you need to be careful about... As far as effectiveness goes, it's an incredibly excellent and reliable serum, but it seems like it needs to be handled with care.

AstaliftWhite Jelly Aquarysta
Recommended when you're concerned about dullness or acne. After using it consistently, I feel like I've been getting fewer little bumps. When I stopped using it for a while, my skin started looking dull, so now I keep using it. It feels like it absorbs well into my skin, and while it's not that moisturizing on its own, using this together with toner leaves my skin more moisturized than usual. It's slightly orange in color, so I use it at night rather than in the morning. It doesn't noticeably tint my skin, but when I used a sheet mask afterward, some of the color transferred onto the sheet, so I just kind of avoid using it in the morning.

COSRXAdvanced The Vitamin C 23 Serum
This is my second bottle. It was reformulated once, and I don't really notice the distinctive smell that used to bother me anymore. Since it's a vitamin serum, it can sometimes feel a little tingly and irritating depending on the condition of your skin. Among vitamin C derivative serums, it's a good value and I recommend it. When I use it, my pores feel tighter. I recommend using it in the morning. It took me about three months to finish one bottle, but starting around the second month, I gradually began to notice the color changing due to oxidation. It seems best to use a generous amount and finish it as soon as possible.

KoséSekkisei Brightening Essence Lotion
Anyway, it's a lightweight, watery lotion that's easy to use in summer, and if you put it in the fridge, it feels cool and is even nicer to use. Since it's the type of liquid that doesn't interfere with makeup, I recommend it before applying makeup. It has a distinctive scent too, and I like it. It doesn't feel moisturizing, but I somehow feel like my skin calms down when I use it. As for the brightening effect, I've gone through about three bottles, but I couldn't really tell. Using it gives me peace of mind, so I use it in the morning, and I think I'll keep repurchasing it.

Hada LaboMelano CC Vitamin C Premium Essence
This is seriously a serum I've been using forever! Ever since I first started using vitamin C skincare, this has been what comes to mind when I think of vitamin C. It seems like some people find it irritating, but I don't feel any irritation in particular, and I use about 10 drops on my whole face. It's also great value and lasts surprisingly long because it takes forever to run out! This is a little hack, but when I'm bothered by sebaceous filaments or clogged pores on my nose or other areas, I apply a generous amount of Melano CC Vitamin C Premium Essence to the area, leave it on for about 5 minutes, then rub it with a cotton swab soaked in Melano CC Vitamin C Premium Essence, and a shocking amount of gunk comes out! lol I don't know how it works, but it's so satisfying how much comes out, and I can do it with something I already have on hand, so I do it regularly.

manyoGlutathione 7 Dark Spot Serum
I got this as PR, but it was better than I expected, so I bought it with my own money🫧 It feels moisturizing and seems to make my skin feel plump☁️ I'm concerned about acne and dullness, so I want to keep using it a little longer and see how it works🪄

manyoGlutathione 7 Dark Spot Serum
I initially received this item as PR, but it felt so nice to use that I bought it myself, and I'm currently on my third bottle💛 It doesn't have that distinctive glutathione smell at all, and despite how it looks and how thick it feels when you dispense it, it blends into the skin unbelievably well. I think it's a glutathione serum you can use all year round🫶🏻 I'm happy because I feel like a lot of glutathione products tend to feel pretty heavy🎶 Since it has some thickness, just the right amount stays on the surface of the skin, and it feels moisturizing too, so it seems like it'll be really useful in fall and winter as well🫣💖 I've been reaching for it especially often lately as part of my end-of-summer skincare routine🎶

Hada LaboMelano CC Vitamin C Premium Essence
Since you can dispense it one drop at a time, it was great for storage and hygiene, but I found it a little sticky! I'd recommend using it just on areas where your pores are a concern!
-
manyoGlutathione 7 Dark Spot Serum Patch
A bouncy gel patch The gel? inside is pretty sticky and stays on your skin, but it absorbs while you have the patch on, so it doesn't bother me. The patch adheres well and doesn't slide off once applied, so I use it while towel drying my hair and stuff. It doesn't smell like glutathione either, so I can keep it on for a long time.

manyoGlutathione 7 Dark Spot Serum
Compared to the brand's Galac Niacin Essence, this has a thicker texture. It still feels moisturized after it absorbs into the skin. It might be a little too moisturizing for people who prefer lightweight, watery products. It contains glutathione, but it doesn't have that distinctive glutathione smell, so I'd recommend it to people who don't like the smell but still want to use glutathione!

NumbuzinNo.5 Glutathione TXA Advanced Dark Spot Ampoule Concentrate
I've repurchased this more than 5 times. It's a serum with 10% tranexamic acid + glutathione. The unusual first step is dissolving the included glutathione powder into the tranexamic acid solution. That keeps it fresh, and I like that I can use it without worrying about oxidation. According to the official guidance, it seems ideal to use it up within 2 weeks. There's only 10 ml of liquid, so it's gone in no time.. It has a very watery texture, so it absorbs really well and leaves my skin feeling plump. It can feel a little too plump and sticky, but it settles in over time, so it doesn't bother me that much. I've been using it regularly for about a year because I feel like it's effective at preventing melasma. It also seems to brighten dullness, and I do feel like it's working somehow. Since it has 10% tranexamic acid, it's a little on the irritating side, but you don't get much product and it's affordably priced, so I think it's perfect for anyone who wants to try brightening with tranexamic acid. Personally, there have been a lot of high-concentration tranexamic acid products coming out lately, so I think I'll try those next and eventually settle on one. Also, the cap comes off very easily, so if you put it in a pouch or something, you have to handle it very carefully or the cap could come off and the liquid could leak out.. I'd appreciate it if it had a screw cap instead..

COSRXThe Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum
I tried using this because I wanted my skin to look more radiant. The serum is so runny that it drips down when you put it on your skin, but as you work it in, it leaves a slightly tacky finish. I haven't noticed a definite improvement in radiance, but I like how it feels, and my skin somehow seems to be in better condition the next day, so I keep repurchasing it.
-
KoséMoisture Mild White Perfect Essence
To give you my conclusion first, it's the best. I can't live without this. I've repurchased it about 10 times. I cleanse my face as soon as I get home, so I use this to tide me over until I take a bath. Since it's an all-in-one, all I have to do is quickly apply it, so it's super easy, and my skin doesn't dry out, which makes it absolutely amazing. It's cheap, so the value for money is incredible too!
