₩ is the Korean store price; $ is what Olive Young Global lists. They often differ because the pack size or count sold overseas isn't the same — check the size on the listing before you buy.
Not a cart — nothing is sold here. I check it against what you already use: clashing actives, doubling up, and morning vs night.

About this product
This is a first-essence style product meant to be applied right after cleansing, using niacinamide to start working on tone and brightness from the very first layer of your routine rather than waiting for a dedicated serum. Panthenol and betaine round out the formula to keep it comfortable on drier skin, though it is fragranced. Best for dry skin looking for a brightening first step that layers easily under the rest of a routine.
Pat several layers into damp, cleansed skin using your palms before moving on to serum or moisturizer.
What reviewers say
I like using this as my literal first essence — it's watery enough to prep skin but the niacinamide means brightening starts immediately, not three steps later. It layers beautifully under my other actives without any pilling. Fragranced, so I wouldn't recommend it if your skin is having a reactive week.
Asked which skin it worked for, 40% of reviewers picked dry (combination 40%, oily 20%).
80% called it gentle on their skin.
These add up to 100 — it's which answer people chose, not a score out of 100. It tells you who liked it, which isn't the same as what will suit you.
