What the gurus are saying

This serum's ascorbyl glucoside and arbutin promise brightening, but whether they deliver divides reviewers. Dr. Jenny Liu loves them for tackling uneven skin tone and post-acne marks, with niacinamide antioxidants in the mix. Others saw no real brightening effects even with regular use, or found it too sticky for oily summer skin, though the citrusy scent was appreciated.

"Between the two vitamin C serums, this one is a little different, it's okay, I like it, but I like the other one more in terms of hydration level since I don't see much difference in brightening between them."
All 4 takes from CYoung
Viral K-Beauty vs What Koreans Actually Use: Which is better? And Why?
"Between the two vitamin C serums, this one is a little different, it's okay, I like it, but I like the other one more in terms of hydration level since I don't see much difference in brightening between them."
Olive Young Top 1–3 Products: Overhyped or Actually Worth It?
"Between the two hyaluronic acid serums, I definitely love this one more. If you apply it once you might not notice much, but if you layer it three or four times, tapping it in, your skin feels a lot more hydrated. I recommend it to anyone who is oily combo on the outside but dry underneath. It's a good everyday hydrating serum, but don't expect too much when it comes to fading dark spots, and it smells really nice, a light citrusy scent."
Global No.1 vs Korea No.1 Skincare: Which is Better and Why?
"Goodal's vitamin C serum isn't a pure vitamin C, so I can't guarantee the brightening effect. It's meant for erasing dark spots, but if you have dry skin and it's winter, it's not moisturizing enough on its own, I feel like I have to seal it in with a thick moisturizer. I like Anua's serum more for the moisturizing, and honestly I don't know if this one actually fades hyperpigmentation."
Korean Skincare products that are actually POPULAR in Korea
"This is the Goodal Vitamin C Dark Spot Care Serum. It's a vitamin C serum, easy to apply, and the scent is trusty and refreshing. It has a more glowy finish than the Torriden serum I'll introduce later, and it's great before makeup for all skin types except oily skin in summer because it can feel a bit sticky. It says bye bye to dark spots but I disagree, and it says it has a brightening effect but I don't think so. I think it became popular because overall it enhances your skin condition."
~Yay
"This is a serum that I have tried myself from Korea and I love this one because it is great for those seeking a vitamin C derivative mostly for skin brightening benefits. [...] It contains ascorbyl glucoside, a sugar form of vitamin C that's a lot more stable but really helps with skin brightening, helping with uneven skin tone, especially if you struggle with post acne marks. It also contains arbutin, which is a more gentle brightening ingredient that helps with uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. I also love this one because it contains niacinamide, which does [...] have great antioxidant benefits."

"Tangerine C line ton of stuff everything else is scented"
~Nay
"A serum that you guys made me buy and I really tried using it for about two three weeks and I gave up and that is again by the brand Goodal the same brand it is the vita dark spot serum, I don't think it's worth it"
~Mixed
"I don't know I guess a quickie for that one"
~Yay
"It's great for immediately brightening dull skin which is what I use this for"
~Yay
"I really use this because it's just really nourishing for my skin it makes it look glowy and bouncy I love this product"
