To cut to the chase, I don't think this product is worth the price and it was really disappointing. Price: I bought it for around 40,000 won through a group purchase, but I'm not sure if it's worth that much. In the first week or so of using it, I felt like my skin was somehow calming down and my face was shining, so I thought 'Ah, there must be a reason why this is so expensive' and kept using it. But the effects only lasted that first week, and after that, I felt like my skin was getting excessively oily, to the point of feeling greasy and almost torn. I think the biggest downside of this product is that it doesn't consider the oil-moisture balance. After using this, my skin type shifted from combination to oily. Now I've had to completely switch to a more hydrating skincare routine just to maintain it. Texture: As I mentioned, the texture is extremely oily and lacks moisture. It doesn't absorb well and just sits on the surface of the skin, almost like a coating. The texture feels very heavy.
ConsBecause I didn't want to waste it, I ended up buying another serum to use alongside this one. But strangely, I did seem to see some effects in the first week or so of using it. I think my original skin type was around 60% moisture and 40% oil, but after applying this serum, the oil ratio kept increasing. By about a week in, it was around 50/50, but after that, the oil just became uncontrollable. The photo is from about a month of use - I didn't have a 'before' photo since I didn't expect this reaction. But my inflammatory acne did increase significantly compared to before using this product.
TipWhile I personally felt the product was completely ineffective for my inflammatory acne, I've heard that some people with more clogged pore/small blemish-prone skin have seen good results from it.

My skin looked radiant and better. Personally, I felt that my acne was a bit soothed, which I liked.
ConsIt's a bit heavy to apply before makeup and doesn't really help with dryness. If it gets in your eyes, it stings so much ㅠ😭 And there's a feeling of heat on the skin when you apply it?
TipThe serum seems to cause a feeling of heat, so when applying this, it's best not to press it firmly with your palms or spread it quickly! Gently pat it on instead! And don't apply it around the eyes! If it gets in your eyes, it really stings a lot ㅠ!! I wouldn't recommend this for those with a lot of facial flushing.

As it is a rich serum, when applied after toner, it makes the skin moist and supple. On days that are not too dry, this may be enough, but in winter, I feel like I need to apply a moisturizer or soothing cream as well! After applying everything, the glow from this serum is just amazing. I was so impressed by the glow that YouTuber Soyoon talked about during her group purchase, so I bought it, and it really is no joke. That's why I've already used 2-3 bottles of this product! Using it before makeup, the glow is just incredible.. Great! If you like a rich, dense serum, you should try this product!
ConsIf not for the group purchase price, the price-to-volume ratio may be burdensome for a college student..? To be honest, even during the group purchase, it was a bit of a burden. But if the price is not a concern, everyone who loves that glow should get it!
TipIn the evening skincare routine, I apply Toner (Cellpium) - Ampoule - Soothing Cream (Clusive) or Snail Cream (Jamaneung) or 6GF Regenerating Cream, in that order! The last cream varies depending on the condition of my skin that day. In the morning before makeup, I do Toner - Ampoule - Cushion, and on drier days, I do Toner - Ampoule - Soothing Cream or Snail Cream - Cushion. The glow from this routine is just incredible... It's so good!!

That you can cover the whole face with just a small amount, so it lasts a long time..?
ConsI participated in a group buy after seeing glowing reviews of this ampoule on Instagram, but to be honest, it was really not great for me ㅠ If it was cheaper, I probably wouldn't have been as disappointed. I remember paying over 30,000 won for it through the group buy. I definitely won't buy it at the regular price ㅎ..Even at the group buy price, I think it's overpriced for the quality of the product ㅎㅎ.. The reviews said it would control dryness and give a pretty glow while calming breakouts, but my breakouts didn't improve at all. In fact, my skin actually got worse when I used this. I don't usually get a lot of breakouts, but I would get the occasional pimple when using this ampoule. At first I wasn't sure if it was because of this product, but when I stopped using it, my skin improved. And it absolutely did not control dryness ㅎㅎ..... Especially if I only used this ampoule after toner and didn't apply any other moisturizing products, My skin would feel so tight and uncomfortable the next day ㅜㅜ Even with makeup, my skin would feel so dry and I'm not sure if my makeup was applying well ㅠ It just gave a nice glow on the surface, but my skin felt so tight and uncomfortable underneath ,,,,,,,, I'm usually not one to dislike a product this much, but this was really not good for me ㅠㅠ (But I'm sure it works well for some others!..) This purchase made me realize that I shouldn't just blindly trust group buys on Instagram.
TipFor dry skin types, I definitely don't recommend this ^^,, It can't control dryness at all, so you'd need to use it with other moisturizing products.

The redness has definitely improved as well
ConsIt doesn't decrease. I want to use it up quickly and buy a new one.. The dehydration isn't being addressed
TipYou should use a toner-like product to address the dehydration first, and then apply this Those with oily skin should probably only use it at night..

Since it addressed the inner dryness, even over time, my skin did not become dry again or develop any flaky skin.
ConsThe price is a bit high,,, but other than that, there's nothing else negative to say ㅎㅎ
TipI apply one drop each to my cheeks and forehead, and it covers my entire face perfectly! The formula is slightly watery, so it flows down as you apply it, so you'll need to spread it quickly ㅎㅎ

I really liked the dewy and glowy makeup look, as I prefer a hydrated and luminous finish. The oily texture also made it feel very moisturizing.
ConsThe texture had a slight oily feel, so the spreadability was a bit lacking. Other than the spreadability, it seemed fine.
TipBe sure to apply it before makeup! I'd recommend using it more during the day rather than at night, as it has a slightly oily texture.

It's oily, but absorbs well and has excellent moisturizing properties. Most importantly, when I apply it and then put on cushion or foundation, it gives a beautiful, subtle glow. I've been using it for two bottles now and haven't had any major breakouts, but when there's heavy dust, applying it generously helps it settle quickly. I'd recommend this to dry-skinned people.
ConsThe price is quite steep. And it might not suit oily-skinned people due to its oily nature. I haven't tried it in the summer yet, but I'm worried it might be too much. Still, I think I'll continue using it.
TipUsing it together with the Derma Pia toner seems to work even better.

ConsI bought it because it was said to perfectly address dryness, but it didn't completely solve the issue. It did reduce the dryness a bit compared to before using it, but since my skin type is extremely dry, it was still a bit lacking in addressing the dryness.

Even when sitting right in front of the heater, there was no drying sensation at all. My makeup also absorbed really well, and my skin felt great all day long without looking dull.
ConsIt took about a week for my skin to adjust to the serum. The breakouts weren't severe, but the effects weren't extremely noticeable either. It also made my skin a bit oily, which I didn't love.
TipBefore applying makeup, I like to pat in a drop of the product on each area of my face. I skip the moisturizer and just apply foundation, and it gives me a beautiful, seamless glow.
