First of all, the application is so smooth. It applies softly and leaves a slightly matte finish on my oily skin, but it's still adequately moisturizing. This is a functional serum, and its purpose is pore management and skin clarification, and the effects are truly amazing! When I use this, the next day my pores look tightened and my skin looks radiant and glowing. The serum has a thin, watery texture, and after applying it, there's a shimmery-like residue left on my hands, though I'm not sure what the ingredient is. The Dalppang Intral serum is good for redness, and the Hydra Skin serum is a moisturizing serum, but I found the ingredients in both of them to be rather disappointing. Surprisingly, the Intral serum actually has better ingredients. I'm on my 4th bottle now and have one stocked up, because I get anxious when I'm running low. You really have to try this. However, it might feel a bit drying for dry skin types. If you have combination skin with enlarged pores and uneven texture, this will be a life-changing serum for you!
ConsThe biggest downside of this serum is the price and the small volume. I believe this is the second most expensive serum in the line. I've been buying it at the duty-free store for around 80,000-90,000 won. At the department store, it's just under 200,000 won. Considering the price, the volume is really disappointing. It's a 30ml bottle, but due to the thin, watery texture, one pump can cover one side of my face. To do my whole face and neck, it takes 7-8 pumps. At that rate, it definitely won't last a full month, even with daily use. My sister, who I recommended this to, said she used up a whole bottle in just 3 weeks! Compared to other serums that last 3-4 months in a 30ml bottle, the price-to-volume ratio on this is really poor.
TipYou're absolutely right. Since skin condition can vary day-to-day, it's better to rotate through different serums rather than using the same one daily. I personally use around 5 different serums, and I only use this Dalppang serum once or twice a week at most. Even with that limited usage, you can still experience the immediate benefits that are the hallmark of the Dalppang products.

There is no stickiness, and the quick absorption makes it great for summer too. As a sensitive skin type, I can't use just anything, but this serum doesn't cause any trouble at all. That's why I make sure to stop using high-performance or whitening products a week before that time of the month and use this serum instead. Also, if I try something new and it causes a reaction, I come back to this product as a safe haven. I've been using this product for over a decade, so I trust it wholeheartedly. Serum alone is usually not enough for sufficient hydration, but this serum fulfills its role admirably.
ConsIt's a product without any shortcomings, but I took away one star due to the unreasonable domestic price and the cautionary ingredients.
TipIt's good to use without burdening sensitive skin. It's especially nice for summer hydration needs. In winter, you can layer it and apply generously for decent hydration as well. The absorption is so good that you don't feel as dry when quickly applying a moisturizer.

There were no issues after using it, which was great.
ConsIt feels more like a toner than an essence or serum. The moisture level is low and it doesn't seem to have any moisturizing effects at all. The fragrance is also quite divisive. It seems like a product that doesn't offer much in terms of value for the price.

It feels like my skin texture improves right away when I use it^^
ConsThe price point is quite high compared to the domestic product sizes, which is a concern for me. I've only used water-type essences before, but this product feels drying if I just use the essence alone, so I have to use it with a cream as well ㅠㅠ..
TipI have to pump the product a few times because it dries up quickly
