This is actually a serum that I have tried myself from Korea. I haven't tried that many but this one I definitely have. I love this one.▶ 17:21–17:28
It is great for those that are seeking a vitamin C derivative mostly for skin brightening benefits.
Contains ascorbyl glucoside, a sugar form of vitamin C that's a lot more stable, but again really helps with skin brightening, so helping with uneven skin tone, especially like if you struggle with post-acne marks for example. This one would be great for that.
Also contains arbutin, which is again a more gentle brightening ingredient that overall helps with uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.▶ 18:06–18:13
It does contain niacinamide. We don't talk about it a lot in the world of antioxidant, but it does actually have great antioxidant benefits.
Does contain centella derivatives that again is more soothing, hydrating, and may offer some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
I first and foremost view it as a great brightening serum because of the ingredients, and they may also offer some antioxidant benefits as well as skin barrier support benefits.

This is so pretty.
I like it more in terms of the hydration level.▶ 7:55–8:04
I don't see the difference making me brightening.
Hydration level it's great.▶ 8:44–8:47
It has a bis that's a little annoying.▶ 8:47–8:50
One thing I hate is it all become really dirty on the lid, but after you rub it it just goes inside better.▶ 8:49–8:56
Really hydrating, so good before the makeup too.▶ 8:56–9:02
The scent is pretty pleasant and pretty refreshing.▶ 9:02–9:07
