After using it for about two days, I could clearly see my blemishes disappearing. I was a bit worried because it has a watery texture, thinking it might be sticky, but it's not at all. It applies smoothly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. It's definitely a product I'm happy with.
ConsI've gotten used to it now, but at first, I wasn't a fan of the scent... It has a strong skincare smell.

First off, I have combination dehydrated skin. As the seasons changed, I felt like my skin lacked hydration even after applying ampoules and creams. That's when I started using this ampoule, and I could feel it protecting my skin. It doesn't feel too heavy either. Since I've been using this product, the deep dryness in my face has disappeared.
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. When I first smelled it, there was an artificial fragrance that made me wonder if it might not be good for my skin. However, I'm still using it because it's effective. You get used to it after a while.
TipIn my routine, I apply this ampoule and a rich emulsion in the morning. In the evening, I use a hyaluronic acid ampoule followed by a hydrating moisturizer. I feel like my skin has become firmer since I started using it. I definitely recommend it!

It gives a nice glow without feeling sticky. After application, my face doesn't feel tight at all! As you can see in the photo, when I bought one ampoule, they also included a toner and cream as gratis.
ConsIn my opinion, the scent was a bit like perfume. The fragrance is somewhat disappointing.

Combination - T-zone: Normal to oily / Cheeks: Very dry - One application of toner or emulsion is enough for the forehead - Cheeks feel dry no matter what or how many times you apply 2. Sensitive (varies depending on skin condition) - Irritants: Witch hazel, citrus/aromatic oils - Milia: Shea butter, citric acid Hydration: The most hydrating serum I've used this fall and winter. Even those with dry skin will be satisfied. Applying it twice followed by a good moisturizer feels like you've done everything possible to combat dryness. After application, skin feels slightly oily, similar to using an oil-infused toner or emulsion. For me, applying it twice was ideal - three times felt excessive. Despite the oily surface, it didn't cause milia or other issues.
ConsScent: It has that strong 'dad's cosmetics' scent I haven't smelled in ages. It's reminiscent of strong bathroom toiletries... As someone who dislikes strong fragrances, the fact that it contains fragrance and smells like 'dad's cosmetics' was disappointing every time I used it. Overall: I want to deduct two stars for the fragrance and ingredients (parabens, acids), but it's so hydrating that I'm giving it 4 stars. For those with normal skin, this alone might be sufficient.

I actually got to try this product as a prize winner. At first, I was put off by the scent, so I used it on and off. I always thought it wasn't great because the fragrance bothered me, but I'd recommend it for those with very dry skin like mine as the hydration seems decent. While others mentioned slow absorption, for me it wasn't as slow as other products. After patting it in a few times, it absorbed well. It's been a while since I've seen such a glow, especially in this cold weather. Usually, products absorb quickly and it's hard to see that dewy glow these days. Even when using Estée Lauder foundation with oil, while the surface looked glowy, it felt too dry underneath. I couldn't use the Estée Lauder foundation before, but today after applying this ampoule and cream before the foundation, I didn't feel much dryness! I think this ampoule could be useful for those with dry skin. I plan to keep using it consistently.
ConsThe reason I didn't initially like this product was all because of the scent. It has a strong 'dad's aftershave' smell? At first, I thought the ingredients might not be good and it might be irritating, but after checking, that doesn't seem to be the case!

Before, I used to have small bumps and rough patches, but since using this product, my skin has become incredibly soft and smooth! Additionally, the redness in my skin has significantly reduced. As someone with super sensitive skin, my face used to turn red just after washing, but now my complexion stays normal even after cleansing.
ConsThe fragrance... it smells like old-fashioned cosmetics. This is a personal preference, but I'm not a fan. Also, it absorbs slowly and feels sticky, so I wouldn't recommend using it during busy mornings. It doesn't sink in well, and when I applied cream and makeup base over it, I experienced pilling.

I have dry, slightly sensitive skin. The hydration power is excellent, and the skin feels plump even in the morning. It seems to work well under makeup too. The price of around $40 seems reasonable.
ConsI've been consistently using Lirikos' hydrating ampoule, and compared to that, this one has a much stronger scent that might be polarizing. It smells like men's skincare products. Also, it feels quite sticky on the skin.
TipWhile the moisturizing effects are great, I found it a bit too rich to use in the morning before applying makeup due to its sticky texture.

It's pleasantly hydrating, perfect for use during seasonal changes. 2. The texture is delightfully thick and bouncy, just the way I like it. 3. It absorbs well with continued patting, without sitting on top of the skin. This helps prevent that deep dryness feeling.
ConsThe scent is a major letdown. As I mentioned in the survey, while the functional aspects of the ampoule are excellent, the artificial medicinal smell seems poorly masked by fragrance. The cover-up attempt falls short. Every time I roll it between my hands, I'm hit with an intensifying scent that's reminiscent of paint with a layer of perfume on top. If they could eliminate the fragrance or effectively neutralize the base scent, this could become a best-in-class cosmetic product.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere's my review after using it for about a week, thanks to winning a Hwahae event. I was using basic skincare for my summer routine, and this ampoule came at a great price. It definitely gave me a feeling of deep hydration. The texture is like thin mucus, with a balance of moisture and oil. Despite my sensitive skin, I didn't break out. Instead, it seemed to balance my oil and moisture, actually improving my skin. As someone with oily skin, I rarely use ampoules, but after trying this, I'm considering buying one. That's how good it is.
ConsThe scent is the biggest letdown... it's that typical cosmetic smell you'd expect. Also, it doesn't seem to absorb as well as I'd hoped. It feels like it's just sitting on top of my skin. And the price point isn't particularly competitive... There are many ampoules out there now with good ingredients at lower prices.
TipTo improve absorption, warm your hands and gently press the product into your skin!

Instead, it has a rich, almost sticky hydration that's overflowing. Honestly, I don't think it's the kind of hydration that oily or combination skin types would enjoy. However, I strongly recommend it for dry skin types. I was curious how it would work on dry skin, so I tried it on areas with less oil and more dryness like my neck and the back of my hands - it was perfect! No words needed. As the ampoule slowly absorbs into the skin, you can feel that rich, bouncy hydration I mentioned earlier! ✔️Absorption I'm still unsure if this varies by skin type or if it's just how this product works... My skin is combination, with a bit of oiliness, and when I apply this ampoule, it doesn't absorb well and seems to sit on top of my skin. But as I mentioned earlier, it absorbs incredibly well on drier areas like the back of my hands or neck. It almost feels like a product specifically targeted for dry skin. ✔️Blemishes This is really funny - I only realized later through other reviews that this product doesn't absorb well for combination skin like mine. When I applied it, it didn't absorb and left my skin so shiny, I thought I'd wake up to a breakout party the next day. But surprisingly, while my skin was still glowy the next morning, there were no blemishes at all! I really expected my pores to clog and my skin to react badly due to the excess oil, but even after a day or two, no blemishes appeared. It felt more like I'd slept with a nourishing pack on. In the end, as you can see from the Hwahae ingredient analysis, there aren't many components likely to cause blemishes, so it wasn't bad! ✔️Overall I only applied it before bed, and it always felt like sleeping with a slightly rich and sticky mask on. You might wake up with an oily face, but after cleansing, I noticed my complexion looked a bit clearer and my skin seemed more elastic compared to when I didn't use the product.
Cons✔Scent, Unpleasant Smell The smell is somewhat reminiscent of old-fashioned men's toner. It's definitely a scent that people will either love or hate, and I really, really disliked it. ✔️ONLY for Evening Use (Oily/Combination Skin) Absolutely can't use it in the morning! If you use it in the morning, your skin will be excessively shiny. For oily & combination skin types, I recommend using it only at night. To be honest, even at night, it absorbs too slowly and feels sticky for me, requiring some patience. But after using it a few times, as I mentioned above, it just feels like sleeping with a rich, sticky mask on. ✔️Not Recommended for Super Sensitive Skin When I first used it, my skin felt a bit itchy. I was selected as a Hwahae Tester, so even though it felt itchy and didn't absorb well on the first day, I continued using it for a few more days. However, those with sensitive skin should be cautious! (Fortunately, the itchiness only occurred on the first day and disappeared afterwards.)
TipIt's fine for dry skin types, but for oily/combination skin, I recommend using it only for night care. I even applied this ampoule after toner and finished my skincare routine there... I couldn't layer any emulsion or cream on top of it. And really, just a tiny bit is enough! If you apply too much without knowing, well...
