The formula is thick and viscous like a serum, but it applies and absorbs surprisingly lightly. I'm not sure about any dramatic effects, but since it's a Madecassoside product, it's definitely gentle and non-irritating, so I plan to use it consistently.

I've seen many reviews saying the capacity is small, but it's even smaller than I expected, which is quite disappointing... 😅 If I end up buying it, I'll have to get the larger capacity version.

I was told that I looked like I had just applied a tone-up cream, even though I had just washed my face 3 days ago, so the whitening effect was faster compared to other products! To be honest, most functional whitening products don't suit me well or aren't effective, but I'm using this one really well.

Recently, I purchased a product as my skin barrier had been compromised, and while it did not have a significant effect on calming or fading blemishes, I noticed more improvements in brightening. Contrary to my expectations, it did not provide sufficient hydration, and my skin felt a bit tight and dry at times. It does not seem to effectively address deep-seated dryness, but among brightening products, this one has been the most effective for me, so I would rate it around four stars.
