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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

It glides on smoothly, which I really like!
ConsMy eyes feel a bit sensitive, possibly due to some harsh ingredients. Also, the scent is somewhat artificial, reminiscent of what you might smell in a cushion foundation.
TipI've found that applying the ampoule right after toner works best for my skin!
