i've been looking for a serum or cream that can help with my dark spots. i have several of them on both my cheek, and i intended to make them go away, but so far i have no luck. i've been eyeing for o.s.t vit c serum and 9 to 5 crema, but both of them don't have sample that i can try and the full size product is quite expensive for me, so jumping straight to full size product is not an option. and then i find out about this it's skin power 10 formula. one of them is vc effector, which apparently their best-seller. i believe initially there are 10 of them, but when i count them on their website, there are 13 of them now.

| each one have acronym, and different color so it's easier to remember them. |

| you can see that VC is their best sellers |
this is the complete explanation from their website (with some correction from beautynetkorea.com):
LI effector : concentrated serum contains licorice extract which has a brightening effect to tone reddened and somber skin caused by UV rays and skin troubles.
GF effector: rich leaf extracts improve water supply and water retention has the effect of enriched with dry skin's best product.
VC effector: brightening serum containing vitamin C and green tea components suppresses the formation of freckles that can make skin look dull and dark, and tightens pores to leave skin fair and luminous.
YE effector: essence containing yeast extract that directly provides nutrients and moisture to the skin to make it look lustrous and smooth.
CO effector: collagen serum concentrated with vegetable collagen extracts hydrates the skin from the inside, giving it a look effervescence and resilience immediately after applying.
Q10 effector: a serum containing coenzyme Q10, the energy component within the skin, which is locked within microcapsules to restore the skin with lost vitality and resilience.
VB effector: oil free essence containing vitamin B6 which controls the secretion of sebum. also balances natural moisture and oils and mitigating any skin.
WH effector: whitening essence containing arbutin with whitening agents which aggressively tackles dark and somber skin tone.
WR effector: essence containing caviar and mistletoe extract, can reap the synergy effects of wrinkle care and resilience functions of adenosine, which visibly diminishes creases and recovers the lost resilience of skin to give a youthful look.
VE effector: essence containing vitamin E capsules that directly provides nutrients and moisture to the skin to make it look lustrous and smooth.
PO effector: silky essence especially designed to treat pores, containing highly concentrated Houttuynia cordata extracts with the superior function of sebum control and 4 other ingredients combined to tighten pores for the management of pores.
SYN-AKE effector: highly concentrated ampoule containing peptides with properties similar to snake venom will hinder movement, improving even the facial expression wrinkles that are difficult to smooth out.
PROPOLIS effector: highly concentrated ampoule containing propolis will improve skin's protection to prevent skin troubles.
pheww.. there're are a lot of essence and serum to try.. and i notice there are 3 serum for whitening/brightening, VC, LI and WH. and two designed for oily skin and pore treatment, VB and PO. unfortunately, the local online shop where i use to buy samples only provide VC, LI and another one which i'm not interested in, so.. VC it is..
the product: the sample is quite generous. i can use it for 4-5 times, so it's enough for nearly a week. FYI, i only use this serum at night. it's a white-cloudy gel type serum, but on the watery side. it melts easily onto your skin and is absorbed within 2-3 minutes.
the smell: i believe every product containing vitamin c always has a citrusy scent in it, including this serum. not too overpowering though. it dissipates after applying.
the result: i'm glad this doesn't cause me any breakouts, and doesn't make my skin oilier in the next morning (i put night cream on top of this serum every night). more moist on my t-zone than my cheeks. i doesn't notice any improvement on my dark spots, but i believe my skin is brightened, just a bit though. but it doesn't help evening my skin tone.
overall, i have not reach conclusion whether i will buy the full size product or not, but i will try this one first before buying ost vit c serum since this one is cheaper. plus i still have a lot of samples to try before deciding my whole skincare routine.
