I was immediately impressed not only by the soothing power because this has good soothing ingredients like centella asiatica as well as niacinamide to help with barrier repair.▶ 8:14–8:18
Even with those brightening agents, I never noticed that my skin resulted in more sensitivity and irritation. It actually did the opposite of really calming down and soothing my skin in the middle of its crisis.
I couldn't recommend this serum more.▶ 9:29–9:32
I love it so much that not only did I rebuy a full size, I also bought a little mini size so I can have it when I'm traveling.▶ 9:32–9:40
Just a great product that I will definitely have as a staple in my routine from now on.▶ 9:38–9:44

It includes stabilized ascorbic acid, which if you don't know is vitamin C. It's great for not only brightening any dark spots or hyperpigmentation that you have, but also a great ingredient to use throughout the day to protect your skin from additional damage.▶ 3:44–3:51
This one also has a bunch of other ingredients that are perfect for wintertime and skin soothing power like centella asiatica micasside.▶ 4:00–4:03
Both of which are great for helping to soothe redness and irritation and strengthen the moisture barrier.▶ 4:10–4:15
Immediately I was like, this is definitely a great ampule or serum to use during the winter time because it has good protecting and soothing ingredients all in a nourishing base.▶ 4:22–4:26
I couldn't recommend this one more. It's a great option.▶ 4:58–5:04

This tone brightening ampoule definitely I tried it like SKIN1004, so much moisturizing.▶ 4:37–4:44
I didn't see any brightening but in terms of hydration level it was pretty impressive.▶ 4:47–4:52
It just look like a small BABA, but whenever you rub it, it just smears so quickly.▶ 4:55–5:03
If you are dry mature skin and looking for some serums or ampoules between this brand, this would be pretty good.▶ 5:06–5:10
I cannot see that much brightening effect, but hydration level and after you apply it, it definitely become a little tacky.▶ 5:16–5:22
It's great when you're going to do the makeup, too.▶ 5:24–5:28
I just apply this and do my makeup. It just stays so well.▶ 5:26–5:31
It can work just as a makeup primer, too.▶ 5:28–5:37

I love this one because it's super gentle and doesn't sting even on active pimples.▶ 2:07–2:14
The texture of this ampule is like a watery gel with little white capsules that melt into the skin.▶ 2:14–2:21
This one absorbs quickly and instantly.
You might feel a little stickiness on initial application, but that fades away super quickly.▶ 2:23–2:31
For me, this instantly calm my mild redness.
This is amazing for calming skin after breakouts and it's also helpful when you have active breakouts because it also calms my skin.▶ 2:51–3:00
I find it too mild for deep hyperpigmentation.▶ 3:04–3:07
In terms of new red marks, this is amazing in fading them.▶ 3:07–3:13

If you have acne prone or sensitive skin, this serum is quite a hero.▶ 1:04–1:10
This one uses gentle brightening ingredients like tranosamic acid, nioinamide, and sentella to calm inflammation.▶ 1:10–1:18
If your pigmentation comes from acne like one, this one wins.▶ 1:21–1:28
It calms active breakouts, it helps fade fresh post acne marks and it reduces redness without irritation.▶ 1:28–1:37
It is slow on old stubborn marks.▶ 1:40–1:46
This is perfect if you have red marks from post acne.▶ 1:45–1:53
If your marks are from like those stubborn marks say sunspots, melasma, especially those brown spots, I think that this one would not help so much with it.▶ 1:51–1:57
Best for acne prone, sensitive, and fungal acne friendly routines.▶ 2:03–2:11

It has a nice light serum consistency that doesn't feel sticky.▶ 8:48–8:56
It's also pretty inexpensive. You get a lot of it, too.▶ 8:53–8:58
I found it useful to use as a serum for do-it-yourself tablet masks.▶ 8:56–9:00
Overall, the product was fine, but I didn't find it to be special. I didn't notice any unique hydrating or brightening capabilities.▶ 9:03–9:07
I'm going to pass on repurchasing this product.
