Pros
This is a viscous serum with a medium, non-heavy texture. It applies well to the skin without feeling greasy. It is very hydrating, so the skin does not feel dry or tight, and it helps improve dehydration. The inclusion of vitamin B5 provides good moisturizing properties, making the skin feel plump, smooth, and soft. When using this serum during times of poor skin condition, the dryness decreases, and the skin gains a nourished feel, visibly improving over time. The serum applies without stickiness and leaves a hydrated, dewy complexion. The dropper-type packaging makes it easy to use. After applying this serum, the skin looks smooth and supple, like a glowing, healthy complexion. This seems to be a versatile serum that can be used comfortably year-round.🤩
Cons
The price was a bit disappointing!! Other than the price, it's a decent serum!
Tip
Rather than just a tip, it's also important to apply it to the neck area! If you apply it before makeup, make sure to let it absorb fully before doing your makeup!

Pros
The Retexturizing Activator Serum helps reduce the concern of rough skin and provides moisture to the skin, creating a natural skin glow. I squeezed out a generous amount using the dropper, and although I thought a highly nourishing essence would be very sticky, the smooth application was amazing. It absorbs quickly without any stickiness, leaving a well-hydrated feel, making it the perfect base serum for the dry season. Even without using a separate exfoliating product, rough areas and dead skin do not form, allowing makeup to apply well and look great. As someone with skin sensitivity, using harsh exfoliating products often leads to more trouble, but this serum can tackle both rough skin and radiance at once. On days when my skin condition is poor, applying a generous amount and sleeping with it leaves my skin looking brighter and smoother, even more poreless, the next day. I received a sample with my main purchase and used it for about a week, and despite the short period, the effects were so good that I decided to buy the full-size product. As someone with atopic dermatitis, switching skincare products can cause my skin to go haywire, but I had no trouble using this serum without any breakouts. I'm so happy to have found such a great product.
Cons
The only downside is the price.
Tip
Although it's recommended to use morning and night, I only used it in the evenings as it seemed to make my routine heavier with sunscreen. Even so, the effects were still quite good.

Pros
I've never had a moisturizing ampoule that I've stuck with for life, but this time it's really settled in. It doesn't just glide over the surface, but I can really feel the moisturizing effects.
Cons
The lack of drawbacks is a drawback in itself. That's why it's a downside to pay the high price.

Pros
I've been using this product for years because it contains my favorite moisturizing ingredients in a clean formulation. Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and urea are the ingredients that work best for my skin. They provide great hydration and are gentle. I'm glad there are no unnecessary extracts or oils added.
Cons
All the ingredients are inexpensive, so I don't understand why the product is so expensive... But when I try using another brand's panthenol and hyaluronic acid serum, my skin doesn't seem to respond as well as when I use this one. I wonder if they have some special technology that I'm just not aware of? I feel conflicted about ordering it because of the price, but I think I'll keep using it until I can find a suitable alternative.

Pros
This is a review of my own purchase.😁 Skin type: In the summer, it's combination, but in the winter it becomes extremely dry. As my skin became very dry in the winter, I started using this product. By the afternoon, my forehead and around my eyes would become so dry that wrinkles would show, even though I moisturized well in the morning. Texture: It's an ampoule focused on hydration, but it's not watery at all and has a slightly thick consistency. Absorption: I apply a drop on my forehead and cheeks using the dropper, and it absorbs right away when I pat it in with my fingers. At first, I noticed a distinct difference from other ampoules (the slightly heavier texture seemed to deeply penetrate my skin, making it feel firmer), but that effect diminished with continued use, and I didn't feel a big difference compared to other ampoules.😅 However, that initial impression of 'this is a bit different!' (in a good way) remained. It doesn't cause any breakouts, and it definitely helps with hydration. But for those with extremely dry skin like me, this alone won't be enough, and you'll need to use an essence or cream as well.
Cons
The brand is not a low-cost one, so the price can be a downside. There's nothing wrong with the product itself, but the price may be disappointing for those who consider the cost-effectiveness.
Tip
For those with very dry skin, layering this product multiple times would be beneficial.

Pros
Skin Type: Severely dehydrated, sensitive, and prone to dryness I purchased this product as it was recommended by a dermatologist and is a reputable brand, and I'm very satisfied with it. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, with a smooth application. It's gentle and non-irritating, so my skin feels comfortable. Most importantly, it has greatly improved my dehydration issues. Recently, the colder weather has been damaging my skin barrier, leaving my skin dry both on the surface and deep within. This product has deeply moisturized my skin and revived its texture. I would recommend this to those with troubled, sensitive skin.
Cons
The slightly tacky finish is a bit disappointing, and the price is quite high.

Pros
The texture is similar to a watery essence. It's a thin formula, but it's not lightweight. As you absorb it into the skin, it becomes more viscous and bouncy. It also has good moisturizing power, so it seems like a good option for oily skin types to use in the winter. If you apply it before foundation, there's no emphasis on dry patches, so it's good to use before makeup.
Cons
Since I have sensitive skin, the vitamin B was a bit stinging at first, for the first use or two. But after continued use, it's no longer stinging. If you have sensitive skin like me, you might want to mix it with another moisturizing essence.

Pros
1. Moisturizing: It definitely manages dryness well and gives a feeling of moisture rising from within! 2. Easy Dosage Control: The dropper-type packaging allows you to apply the desired amount, which is convenient.
Cons
1. Cost-Effectiveness: While it is moisturizing, the high price may not justify the benefits for some. 2. Stickiness: Personally, I don't like the sticky feeling. After applying and patting it in, the skin can feel tacky (though some may perceive it as a plump, supple texture). 3. Usage Experience: There is a slightly slippery feeling when applying. This may give an impression of the product sitting on top of the skin (however, diligent patting does result in a moisturized complexion).

Pros
It's really great! It feels like a more affordable version of the Hyalu B5 serum from La Roche-Posay, a subsidiary of L'Oreal, with fast absorption and excellent moisturizing power.
Cons
It's way too expensive ㅠㅠ I bought this product with a heavy heart because it was available at Shinsegae Mall.
Tip
It seems to work well when used together with the LG Pra.L Galvanic device.

Pros
This is a true life essential item❤️ It is very faithful to the basics Throughout the winter, I applied this product and didn't feel any dryness at all A year-round essence that can be used in all seasons I have combination skin with oily sebum secretion, but the application feels amazing It absorbs incredibly well and doesn't feel sticky at all I had absolutely no trouble with it, it's the best👍
Cons
If I had to find a downside, It's the rather expensive price for the volume,,ㅠㅡㅠ If you apply too much and then put on sunscreen and powder, It can get cakey, so you need to use an appropriate amount
Tip
With the dropper, you can use just the right amount The application is very smooth, so you can apply it all over the face~ If you apply it in the morning, your makeup may slightly shift So I only apply a generous amount at night, and it still keeps my skin very moisturized
