Put on your not-to-be-missed list. -- The New Yorker Her mother calls it a breathtaking piece of folly, but fourteen-year-old Velvet Brown is determined: every night she prays to be the best rider in England, and every day she trains to win the world's most famous steeplechase, the Grand National. No woman has ever competed in the race, let alone won it. Velvet is skinny and frail, and her mount is a rough country horse that she won in a raffle. But she whispers her hopes and dreams into his ear, and the horse flies over fences at her command.Generations of readers of all ages have thrilled to the tale of Velvet's grit and determination and its inspiring example of the struggles and rewards of following a dream. A richly atmospheric portrait of rural life between the World Wars, National Velvet was a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club in the United States and the Book Society in England upon its 1935 debut. It also served as the basis for the popular movie starring Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney. This charming new edition features the original drawings by Laurion Jones, the author's thirteen-year-old daughter. The book is one that horse lovers of every age cannot fail to enjoy. -- The New York Times Humorous, charming, National Velvet is a little masterpiece. -- Time This book deserves a top place on your shelf. -- Christian Science Monitor

Gentle serum with nice ingredients
This serum is a milky white color that is a mediun texture (not watery, and not super thick) and spreads well and easily. It absorbs pretty quickly, and doesn't leave me too sticky after, nor has it caused any irritation in over a week of daily use. I also haven't noticed any difference yet in terms of brightening or wrinkle reduction, but 1) know that this can take up to 12 weeks with astaxanthin, and 2) already use niacinamide and vitamin c and have probably already seen as much progress as I can expect in the way of evening out skintone and reducing the appearance of freckles.
In English, it says there are only 6 ingredients, but given the avaialable concentrations on the box (4.3% niacinamide, 0.01% astaxanthin) that doesn't make sense. The full ingredients list is only in Korean, but after using an online image translator can see that both lists include great ingredients that have all proven to be quite effective and are gentle for sensitive skin. I also really appreciate that it has the percent niacinamide on the box because this is a staple ingredient for me and so many products have it that it's nice to be able to know how much I'm using when I combine differemt serums and moisturizers that include it so that I'm in the zone that's best for my skin and not using too much.

lightweight, did not irritate my skin
I have been using this ampoule for about 3 weeks now and I like how it makes my skin feel. It doesn't feel harsh, my skin didn't seem to mind it because it didn't look or feel irritated after the 3 weeks of use. I am not solely using this product as my night time moisturizer but it is an addition to my other moisturizer. It is easy to apply, doesn't feel heavy, sticky, or tacky. I can't say how this works for existing blemishes and imperfections because I am mainly using this as a prevention. I recently had some of my sun spots laser-ed so I am trying to keep any additional sun spots from appearing again, which is why it is so important for me to keep up with the prevention routine. This product is excellent for that. I did take a look at the ingredients list and while I'm fine with most of it, I did notice there is a silicone in this. I try to avoid silicones but I'm not going to say it is a dealbreaker. All in all I like this product and will keep using this until I'm done with the entire bottle.
I didn't see the ingredients list posted on this page yet so here it is, in case you need to see what's in this serum before making the decision to purchase.
