Viral social media trend and influencer recommendation
Multiple reviewers mention purchasing due to TikTok/Instagram buzz, YouTube recommendations, and specific celebrity makeup artist endorsements (IVE makeup artist, Choi Hwa-jeong). The product's trend status drove significant initial trial.
Repurchase for consistent glow results
Many customers are repeat buyers who cite consistent delivery of the 'glass skin' and dewy finish as reason for restocking. Reviewers mention using the product for 15–20 years, indicating long-term loyalty.
Problem-solving for dry or dull foundation
Consumers specifically buy it to rescue dry, chalky, or matte foundations by mixing in small amounts to add hydration and radiance without full product replacement.
Ingredient reputation and clean formulation
One reviewer explicitly mentioned appreciation for clean ingredients and satisfaction with the price-to-benefit ratio, indicating some purchasing motivation from formula quality.
