  Pros

  I used this product specifically for my nighttime skincare routine. The scent reminded me a bit of Johnson's Baby products. At first, I thought it might be too heavy, but once it absorbed into my skin, it didn't leave an oily residue. Instead, it gave my skin a nice, healthy glow. I realized that the initial heaviness I felt was actually due to its rich, nourishing formula. This product is perfect for those with super sensitive skin. As someone with oily, sensitive, and combination dehydrated skin - a triple threat - I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation. In fact, I felt like my skin barrier was becoming stronger during use. My routine consists of toner, essence, and cream. Even with just using a hydrating toner, this cell treatment as my essence, and a moisturizing cream, my skin feels firmer. Recently, due to high pollution levels, I had to wear makeup daily for a week. Usually, this would clog my pores and cause redness, but surprisingly, my skin remained calm and my complexion even improved. The most impressive result was how it smoothed out the fine lines around my mouth! I'm too young to worry about crow's feet or smile lines, but those annoying little creases around my mouth have significantly improved - the shallow ones disappeared, and the deeper ones became less noticeable. It's like getting professional facial results at home. I think combining this ampoule with proper hydration and exfoliation at home could be more effective than expensive, infrequent spa treatments.

  Cons

  The cap is so hard to open! I even looked up tips online and followed them, but I ended up hurting my fingernail and it lifted off. I understand the need for airtight sealing due to the expensive ingredients, but it would be helpful if there was at least a grip or something to make opening easier.

  Tip

  While it's on the pricier side, this product works hard on skin elasticity, wrinkle repair, and strengthening the skin barrier. Using it as part of your nightly routine seems to be the most effective way to use it and make it last longer.

  Pros

  A brutally honest review that started as a 1-star but evolved - from a Hwahae Tester Used for 5 days Feel: 5/5 (It's like a toner but feels like an essence on the skin. Once absorbed, skin feels fresh on the outside with no deep dryness, and it doesn't leave any residue on hands) Hydration: 5/5 (No dryness even for extremely dry skin, and zero oiliness which I usually hate) Pore care: 5/5 (No dead skin cells, and pores don't get clogged with excess sebum. Note: This was during a time when my skin should've been in bad condition) Texture improvement: 5/5 (Makeup applies well. I only use this as a base, then sunscreen and foundation) Price and quantity: 3/5 (Considering its effectiveness, the price occasionally seems justifiable) Day 1 (First impression): Used only at night Applied after shower, following Innisfree Green Barley Pore Essence (AHA). Despite its light toner-like texture, it provided lasting hydration until morning. Even my extremely dry-skinned mother experienced no tightness. Day 2: Night use only I typically aim for smooth, blemish-free skin by thorough pore cleansing and using AHA essence and pimple pads at night. 'This product showed results from the second day' Why? My skin felt baby-soft. Sebum was balanced, pores weren't clogged, and it maintained hydration without sagging. Usually, unsuitable products cause oiliness or flaking by morning, but this left my skin in an optimal state. >> I started to understand why the small bottle costs over 20,000 won. From then on, I began using it morning and night, relying solely on this product. Day 3: Stayed in, applied morning and night, used more than usual in the evening. Usually, on days I stay in, I only do skincare. By afternoon, my face typically gets oily, sometimes requiring rewashing. But with this product, my skin maintained a comfortable state with balanced oil levels even past 5 PM. In the evening, I applied it generously instead of using cream. It absorbed quickly despite the amount. >> It's like a hydrating serum without the stickiness, perfect for combination dehydrated skin. It doesn't dry out even extremely dry skin, yet it's not overly oily (I avoid heavy oil-based products as they feel suffocating). Day 4: Same as Day 3 Day 5: Morning routine - this product + sunscreen + usual makeup Makeup applies well. If only it were cheaper, it would be a solid 5-star product. I use Estée Lauder foundation, which is good but can feel tight by late evening. Surprisingly, using only this as a base in the morning prevented any tightness. I didn't intentionally check for tightness, I was just too lazy to apply anything else, but later realized there was no tightness at all.

  Cons

  Packaging: The brown glass bottle with a rubber stopper and metal finish might be for ingredient preservation, but it requires careful handling. Be cautious when opening - I struggled a bit but managed thanks to the rubber stopper. Price: Despite its excellent effects, the price-to-quantity ratio is admittedly high for many consumers. I'd 100000000% use this exclusively if it were more affordable. The effectiveness makes me want to recommend it, but price is a crucial factor. It only lost one star due to the high cost, which speaks to its effectiveness. Using this, I don't think I'll ever worry about dry, tight skin or clogged pores and blemishes again. P.S. Some reviews mentioned difficulty controlling the amount due to the glass bottle, but I found it easy to manage with the rubber stopper. Never had any overflow issues!

  Tip

  Pro tips? Well... there aren't any. This single product could easily replace your toner, essence, and emulsion. While I haven't tested it in harsh winter conditions, I think it might suffice with just an additional cream on extremely cold days. It was enough on its own for both night and morning routines. No need to mix with other products as it provides long-lasting hydration. It's simply the best!

  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers! It's the last day, haha! I wanted to write about the changes in my skin after use, so I'm writing this a bit late! I've never done home care with expensive cosmetics before. I usually use More Kind Heart skin toner and ampoule. Instead of the More Kind Heart ampoule, I used the GD11 Premium Cell Treatment One Plus Set! The scent is not strong and quite pleasant. I don't prefer unscented products, so I liked this even more! The texture seems thinner than typical ampoules, even though it has powder mixed in. I didn't take photos of my skin condition at the time, but it was in terrible shape due to using a face mask that didn't agree with my skin. I have combination dehydrated skin with enlarged pores. The ampoule I used before left a sticky feeling and wasn't very moisturizing. It felt more like a coating than hydrating, which left my oily skin feeling dry. (I also have dehydrated skin!) The GD11 Premium Cell Treatment was moisturizing and absorbed quickly! But I think most skincare products these days can do this much, haha. It felt like it absorbed well. It seemed to sink deep into the skin while leaving the surface less dry. While using it, my skin was in bad shape from a Chae & Park mask, and I wondered if there would be any dramatic effects... I thought, 'I got this for free as part of The Hwahae Testers, should I only write good things?' as I fell asleep. When I woke up and touched my skin, it felt softer! And there was no excess oil. (My skin gets dry with emulsions and oily with Physiogel!) While others said they didn't see dramatic results, my redness disappeared overnight and my skin texture improved! I learned why you shouldn't use products that don't suit you and why you should use ones that do, haha. I'm so happy that the roughness of my skin is gone! I finally understood what it means to soothe with hydration without scrubs or peeling. Good stuff! Highly recommended for oily skin with a lot of dead skin cells!! And isn't the glass packaging beautiful? The blue bottle would be pretty too, I think!

  Cons

  The downside is definitely the price? But I think I'll keep using it, haha. It lasts quite a while too! However, opening the container is really inconvenient... and the dropper format is also uncomfortable. You need to use an ampoule consistently, but the amount and price that make you expect dramatic effects might be a flaw, though it's probably unavoidable from a marketing perspective. The container... it's just too difficult to open... too much... For those with dry skin, one bottle might not be enough!

  Tip

  Since there will definitely be people who find it doesn't suit them, it's best not to have too high expectations when purchasing! If you originally have oily skin or skin that doesn't absorb moisture well, even though it might feel wasteful, it might be good to apply it using a cotton pad that releases the product well! From the third time onwards, I applied it that way and then used a moisturizing cream!

  Pros

  [The Hwahae Testers Review] Scent: It has a subtle floral fragrance with sweet undertones. Texture: The formula has a viscous consistency that dispenses in precise drops. It's neither slippery nor sticky, and when applied, it gives a pleasantly firm feeling on the skin. Effectiveness: My skin type is dry, especially around the eyes and cheeks, with deep dryness. Although I received the package late and only used it for about 4 days, I experienced no blemishes or irritation! While I can't be certain it's solely due to this product (as my skin was already improving from a previous breakout), I noticed significant improvements in skin texture, pores on my cheeks, and redness. However, as deep dryness is my main concern, I found it slightly lacking in that aspect. While the tightness on my cheeks lessened over time after application, the area around my eyes still felt dry. (I believe I'll need to finish the entire bottle to be truly confident about its effectiveness. I'll update my review once I've used it all up.)

  Cons

  I wondered about the hygiene of mixing the contents, but it's also an interesting concept, and given the small size of the container, it shouldn't be a major issue. If I had bought this with my own money, I might have felt too precious about it to use generously...

  Tip

  After mixing the contents of the two bottles, replace the cap with the white rubber lid, and press on the long white nozzle to dispense the product!

  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. It seems like a great product for simple at-home skincare. Although the quantity is small, it's perfect for when you feel like investing in your skin once a year! Mixing and shaking the two products myself made me feel like I was at a dermatologist's office. The absorption is similar to applying an ampoule, which I liked, and it absorbs quickly, though it's a bit sticky. The scent is neutral, so I don't think anyone would avoid using it because of the fragrance. I have dry skin, and it works well even for dry skin types! It doesn't feel extremely drying. After applying toner and the Premium Cell Treatment, I followed up with an emulsion based on my skin's condition that day. It comes with a long rubber stopper, which I used to control the amount - two drops twice when my skin was dry, and one drop twice for normal days. If you want to do home care but don't have much time, you might really like this product! Of course, visiting a dermatologist is better if you have the time~

  Cons

  Opening the cap is a bit painful for the hands, as it doesn't open easily. Also, the price is too high for the amount you get! On the first day of application, it felt quite sticky, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who dislike that sticky feeling~

  Tip

  I applied it in two layers, which eliminated any dryness. Make sure to let each layer absorb completely before applying the next one!

  Pros

  This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. I'm sharing my thoughts after using the product for 3-4 days following delivery. For reference, I have combination skin prone to blemishes and acne. First off, I really liked the subtle fragrance - it's not likely to be divisive. The texture isn't watery, but rather a bit fluid. When I touched the cell treatment, it wasn't sticky at all. It applies thinly and lightly, leaving no heavy feeling on the skin. I didn't experience any blemishes after application, and using a freshly mixed product gave me a sense of freshness and reliability. The included pump made controlling the amount super convenient. Although it's a single set, the quantity is quite generous. Using it over several days seems hygienic, especially with the pump - without it, I feel like there might be some waste.

  Cons

  First, I was shocked by the steep price for such a small bottle! I've never been to a dermatologist, so I'm not sure if this is considered expensive for skincare, but it seems quite pricey for home care. Also, I didn't feel any immediate surface hydration - using this alone leaves the skin feeling very dry. After using one complete set, I didn't notice any significant effects, which is disappointing. However, I suppose consistent use might yield better results over time.

  Tip

  I recommend applying this before your moisturizer. Don't use this product alone - it's best to incorporate it into a full skincare routine. And just in case there's anyone as clueless as me (though I doubt it), to use the pump, attach it to the bottle and press down on the white part with your fingers. I kept tapping the top of the cap without pressing down, wondering why nothing was coming out!

  Pros

  I got to try this as a Hwahae Tester winner. In my case, I used to have issues with my makeup completely separating by the end of the workday. While using this ampoule, I noticed a significant improvement in that problem. I applied it twice daily and was really impressed with how well it absorbs and its pleasant scent.

  Cons

  The quantity and the rubber dropper weren't great. Using it twice a day, I ran out in about 3 days, which was disappointing. The rubber dropper was a bit frustrating in terms of dispensing time and amount of product released.

  Tip

  It works wonderfully as a supplementary product to your basic skincare routine.

  Pros

  As a nursing student, I was particularly intrigued by the use of cord blood in this product. While the cord blood trend peaked a while ago, those in their 20s and above might be somewhat familiar with its benefits. Let me share my experience using this ampoule for about 3 days, as someone with skin that fluctuates between dry and combination types. Fragrance: Personally, I can tolerate most scents unless they're overly artificial fruit fragrances. While I generally prefer unscented products, this one has a subtle, non-irritating aroma that even those sensitive to fragrances might appreciate. When I asked about 5 people, none had any adverse reactions to the scent. Texture: True to its ampoule nature, it has a fluid consistency - perhaps a bit thinner than a hyaluronic acid toner. When you drop it on your face, it does run a bit, but not as much as a watery toner. User Experience: Initially, I tried using just the ampoule after cleansing to test its hydration. I hate to say it, but I was surprised by how dry my skin felt. Unlike when I used the Matiderm ampoule, I had to layer a moisturizer on top. The next day, I applied it after toner, which definitely helped reduce the dryness. I was curious about the right amount to use, so I ended up applying quite generously until my skin no longer felt dry. Results: As with most skincare products, don't expect dramatic overnight changes. There were subtle differences, though. While it felt slightly sticky upon application, I noticed my skin looked less parched in the morning (when used after toner, not alone). What I really appreciated was that instead of just feeling like there was a moisture barrier on top, it felt like my skin was truly hydrated from within. This was genuinely satisfying! Personally, I'm not a fan of that surface moisture film feeling. I used to enjoy the refreshing sensation of washing off my night cream in the morning. With this, my skin felt more supple and hydrated. While the first day was disappointing, I seemed to figure out the best way to use it for my skin as I continued. It worked well for me in the end! Hooray for stem cells!

  Cons

  Application Method: After searching around, I realized that the white cone applicator isn't included when you buy just one set. I wonder how people without it manage to use the product... As someone completely clueless, I initially tried inserting it into the ampoule bottle and waiting for it to drip out. It barely came out, and I was getting frustrated until I accidentally squeezed the long part of the white cone and the product flowed out. No one had explained this! While I managed to use it properly after that, it might be challenging for someone like me without clear instructions. What seems obvious to others was difficult for me... sigh. Price: As you might know, cord blood itself is somewhat hard to obtain. Perhaps that's why the price is a bit steep... The amount seems to last about 3-4 days at most, which makes it quite expensive. It's a shame because you'd probably need to use it longer to see more noticeable effects, but by then, the product is almost gone. It would be great if they could improve the price point.

  Tip

  Make sure to use at least a toner before applying this ampoule!

  Pros

  - Review from The Hwahae Testers - As a 25-year-old male with oily, sensitive skin, I have to be extra careful with skincare, especially during seasonal changes when my skin tends to act up. I was lucky to win this ampoule and had high hopes for it, especially since my skin wasn't in great condition at the time. First off, the fragrance is absolutely delightful. And I must say, among all the skincare products I've tried, this one absorbs the fastest. It's like it instantly melds with your skin, leaving no residue. It feels hydrating when applied, but using it alone might not be quite enough. I initially planned to use just toner and this ampoule, but my skin felt a bit tight, so I had to layer on other products. After the first night, I woke up with some redness here and there, and a small blemish appeared. However, it calmed down by the next day after another application. To be honest, while it's good, I wouldn't say it's mind-blowingly amazing - more like 'pretty decent'. The product claims to be a quick-fix ampoule with rapid effects, but as with any skincare product, it's unrealistic to expect dramatic results in a short time. By the third day of consistent use, I noticed some sebum buildup on my forehead, almost like tiny whiteheads. The ampoule seems fine, but I'm not sure if it's not suiting my skin or if it's just my current skin condition acting up.

  Cons

  The cap you need to put on after mixing the product is really inconvenient. It's a struggle to apply as you have to tap it repeatedly to get the product out. The amount seems quite small for the price... I'm not sure yet if it provides enough benefits to justify the cost. At around $20 for 7ml, the value for money seems quite low initially.
