All in all, I find this to be a pretty solid product if you aren't sensitive to alcohol (or the other ingredients). It brightens my complexion noticeably (more than Missha's First Essence ever did!), helps my pores look a touch smaller, and does it all for a reasonable price. I wouldn't consider this my HG, but it's something I would definitely look into repurchasing - though, let's see how long it'll take this product to finally run out..
