The price is affordable, and you can tell it's made by a major company.
ConsIt feels a bit sticky, perhaps because I used it in summer. While my skin feels comfortable, the texture when applying is a bit odd. I'm worried it might transfer onto my pillow.

I used to have oily skin, but now it's combination dehydrated. Sometimes it gets so dry that foundation won't even stick. This essence isn't heavy, yet it keeps my skin moisturized for a long time and even tackles deep dryness. For extra dry areas or around the eyes, applying a second layer really boosts the hydration. Although I usually prefer fragrance-free products, I'm satisfied with this one. I'll definitely repurchase it.
ConsThe texture might be a bit sticky for some, which could be hit or miss, but it wasn't an issue for me.
TipI apply the ampoule twice, then immediately layer on a light oil thinly, followed by a sheet mask. This is my go-to routine when my skin's oil and moisture balance is out of whack.

My routine involves evening out my skin texture with toner, then generously applying this hydration-packed ampoule to my face. Once it's absorbed a bit, I finish with a moisturizer. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the results.
ConsBeing an ampoule, it does take a while to absorb and leaves a slightly sticky feeling on the skin. However, it's not uncomfortable enough to be a major issue.

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.

Despite my extremely dry skin and recent sensitivity due to fine dust, I used it without any major blemishes. The texture was stickier than expected, which could be both a pro and a con. I only switched my essence to this ampoule in my usual routine, and when I applied it at night, I didn't experience much deep dryness even until the next morning.
ConsThe stickiness is its biggest drawback. It was difficult to apply in the morning. If you don't take extra care with the finish, your makeup will pill. I really dislike when my hair sticks to my face due to sticky morning makeup, and this product really clings. Even applying powder doesn't help - the stickiness comes from deep within.
TipBetter for evenings than mornings. I recommend applying generously and massaging it in.

I applied it between my toner and cream, both morning and night. I started using this ampoule with confidence, given the brand's renowned reputation, and sure enough, it absorbed well. It provided good hydration, preventing my dry skin from becoming too parched overnight. I could even skip the cream step. It should work well for most people, except those with extremely dry skin.
ConsThe fragrance was a bit strong. Also, there was a noticeable oily residue, even on my dry skin. Reading other reviews, I noticed some people described it as sticky. It's like there's a layer of oil left on the skin. Personally, I didn't find it sticky, but I did notice the residue.
TipAfter applying a hydrating toner, you can use this product and potentially skip the cream. However, it might not absorb as well if you're planning to apply a cream afterward.

I have oily skin that's prone to dehydration, which often leads to my makeup looking patchy. However, when I applied this product before my makeup, it made my skin much more hydrated, allowing my makeup to go on smoothly.
ConsPersonally, I'm not a fan of sticky textures, and this product felt quite sticky on my skin.

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.ProsI got to try this product thanks to winning a Hwahae event. I have blemish-prone, oily skin that's sensitive and tends to break out with silicone-based creams or overly rich oils. Let me explain using a swatch on the back of my hand: 1. It has a bouncy texture that doesn't drip but flows smoothly when tilted (not runny). 2. When spread, it feels thick and absorbs slowly, leaving a sticky residue. It might be challenging for oily skin types as it feels like applying a heavy oil. Rather than hydrating, it feels like it creates a greasy film on the skin. 3. After some time, it stops transferring but still feels artificially moisturizing. On the plus side, while it didn't suit my oily skin, my mom with dry skin found it long-lasting. For dry skin types, applying this over a hydrating product could create a nice moisturizing barrier.
ConsCons: The scent is strong, reminiscent of men's skincare. Due to its texture, it's not suitable for oily skin. The long-lasting moisture (or stickiness, to put it negatively) might not be ideal for those who prefer a quick skincare routine.
TipApplying a single layer gives a primer-like glow. Recommended for those with dry skin looking for a radiant complexion.

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.Pros**A review from The Hwahae Testers** First off, the best thing is that it's not drying. Many serums I've tried left my skin feeling dry when I woke up, but this one doesn't. It also didn't cause any blemishes. It absorbs well, so I can gently pat a small amount all over my face and apply sunscreen without any pilling.
Cons1. It doesn't provide deep hydration from within. It's not an oily film either, but it's hard to explain. While it's not drying, it doesn't give that surge of moisture from the inside, and it feels too rich to be called just moisturizing. 2. The fragrance will definitely be a love-it-or-hate-it situation. It's a bit overwhelming. 3. It's quite sticky, so I only apply a tiny amount as a single 'coating' on my face to finish my skincare routine. When I sleep, I layer it two or three times, but it's a mess in the morning, so I always put a towel on my pillow.
TipLayer it using very small amounts.

My skin is super sensitive and combination dehydrated. I'm a fan of the Lirikos Marine Energy line, so I was really excited to try this! The scent might be hit or miss for some, but I love it. I think it would be great for dry skin during seasonal changes and winter months.
ConsIt's a bit sticky! Instead of deep hydration, it feels like it just makes the skin surface shiny. As someone who doesn't like oily textures, I found it uncomfortable. Also, I think the amount you get is too small for the price.
