So far has done everything it promises to do! Love it. Possible new HG product. Not pricey if you purchase it in Korea.

I find this more effective then SKII and cheaper. My complexion looks softer with SKII, but with missha I have better radiance.

As the other reviews mentioned: After only 1 day, broke me out in little whiteheads on my chin, nose and cheeks. Buy with caution. :(
