Hydrating but the fragrance broke me out after a long while, so not recommended for people with sensitive skin (rosacea).

Edit: I have since swapped to SKIN1004's 1025 Dokdo Toner.

I think it does well for hydration but sometimes the smell is a lil weird. It doesn't always smell like it, maybe I'm doing something, but it's such a weird smell and it's the only part of my routine that smells that way (when I do get a whiff of it).

i’ve been using this under my arms for quite some time now, and i definitely think i notice a difference in the lightness of my underarms. now i will start using it on my arms and legs, too, to hopefully help reduce my strawberry skin. this is also very good at preventing body odor.

I've been using this product since January and I have to say I absolutely love this for my hyperpigmented areas and body acne! I've gotten to the point where I've been able to tolerate this for daily use. After I shower I have been applying this on my knees, elbows and chest and allow it some time to dry down before applying the Glycolic moisturizer from Naturium. Initially I was using my hands Show more
