Pros
This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. These days, it's the season change, so I tend to get a lot of pimples. I don't have a before photo, but the pimples seem to be going away faster than usual. My skin is normally dry, but as I've gotten older, it's become combination skin except for the T-zone, which is still dry. Even with just a little bit of cold wind, my skin gets really red and irritated, but this product seems to have strengthened my skin barrier. And usually, if I choose the wrong basic skincare products, my skin just flips out (the Biotherm Aqua Essence immediately caused pimples to pop up), but I've been using this for over a week and it seems to be working well.
Cons
When I use the dropper, a little bit tends to get on the bottle. I guess that's because the formula is more like a lotion.
Tip
It's not really a tip, but I find that if I do the 5-skin method with the Dodok Toner first, my skin feels even more hydrated afterwards.

Pros
The amount lasts for more than 2 weeks, even with my frequent use. I haven't been able to finish one bottle yet, and I've been using it diligently.
Cons
I agree with what others have mentioned - the packaging doesn't seem to match the product texture very well. There are other white lotion-type ampoules, but since this one seems more concentrated, the opening gets a bit messy. From the 3rd day onwards, I started just tilting the bottle to dispense the product, which was much cleaner and better.
Tip
After cleansing and wiping with a water-based toner, I use a hydrating mist and a watery toner to replenish moisture, then apply this ampoule, and finish with the Skinfood Propolis Ampoule. I've been able to achieve a good oil-moisture balance without needing an additional cream. This routine has really helped alleviate my dehydration issues! (The Skinfood ampoule does have a slightly sticky texture.) I also like to do one more mist before bed, and it keeps my skin feeling great until morning!

Pros
Even if you use the mildest products without harmful ingredients, if the combination doesn't match or you react to certain ingredients, your skin can become extremely sensitive and dry, turning into an uncontrollable 'sea cucumber' sensitive skin. Fortunately, this product did not cause any skin troubles for me. I liked that it had no fragrance.
Cons
1. Moisturizing Power When I applied for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program for this product, I expected good moisturizing properties since it contains ceramides. However, this product rather leaves a whitish cast on the skin and dries out quickly after application. If you don't apply a moisturizer right away, your skin may feel taut and uncomfortable. 2. Unsuitable Packaging The texture of this product is sticky, so the dropper format is not suitable. The sticky texture doesn't dispense well through the dropper, and the white liquid gets stuck on the sides of the dropper, making it messy to close the bottle. This is unhygienic and inconvenient overall. I think the brand should change the packaging to a pump before the official launch. 3. No Compelling Reason to Use This Product As mentioned earlier, this product lacks moisturizing power and even feels like it's drawing moisture out of the skin. Even after using it for about 2 weeks, I didn't see any noticeable effects, but my skin felt drier, leading me to use more moisturizer. Spending almost 50,000 won for 3 bottles, I can't find a compelling reason why I should add this to my skincare routine.
Tip
This product is extremely drying. However, since it's said to help strengthen the skin barrier, try squeezing it out and applying it to your cheeks before using a hydrating face mask. It will feel much more moisturizing than using it alone.
