When you apply it to your face, it drips down. • It's so rich that when you spread it with your hands, it feels like your hands are sticking to your face! Haha! I was surprised and a bit wary at first because it was so sticky, but after a short while, it absorbs right into the skin, leaving it soft and smooth. • I really feel like my face brightens up. Before, I'd wash my face in the morning and think it looked bright, but then it would look dull again after applying my skincare. Since using this, my skin truly looks brighter, making me want to put on makeup and also feel good without it :-) I think it's also been effective for calming blemishes and reducing hyperpigmentation. When I wake up after applying it, my skin really feels like a baby's... That initial sticky feeling completely disappears, and when I look in the mirror after washing, my face looks incredibly bright and fair. Plus, it feels so soft.. It works so well for my skin!!
ConsIf I had to pick something?? The fact that it's so rich it feels like your hands are sticking to your face when you apply it. I was surprised and a bit wary at first because it was so sticky, but after a short while, it absorbs right into the skin, leaving it soft and smooth, which is a mood booster ~ For those with extremely dehydrated skin, I always used this along with a hydrating cream. If you apply this alone to your face without properly hydrating first, it might actually have a negative effect :( (Because of that brief stickiness, I avoid using it in the morning and only use it before bed!)
TipSince it's very runny and drips quickly, you need to apply it swiftly. For those who dislike stickiness, I recommend using it at night. Using it in the morning might make your makeup look cakey... (just my personal opinion) My skincare routine is: 'Hatomugi Skin Conditioner' for toner pack + 'Medicube Red Toner' for skin texture refinement + 'Lucid Brightening Ampoule Serum' + Red Erasing Cream (!!) This skincare routine really works wonders for me :( The #RedErasingCream is a bit heavy and a thick cream without much hydration, so I apply the ampoule to my face before the cream absorbs. This way, it's not suffocating and works great! For those using thick creams that don't quite work or feel too heavy, I recommend trying this method. (By the way, for those using 'Medicube Red Erasing Cream', I highly recommend it! You can see twice the effect with brightened complexion)

From the moment I first used this product, I was blown away by the scent! The fragrance is so lovely - natural and aromatic. I can confidently declare it the best-smelling product I've used in my 2n years of skincare. Another great aspect is how it feels on the skin. It initially applies rich but absorbs well, leaving a fresh finish. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I highly recommend this. For those looking to switch from heavy creams or emulsions to lighter hydrating gels or moisturizers this summer, this product perfectly delivers that desired balance of hydration and freshness. The gentle ingredients didn't trigger any blemishes either!
ConsThere was some pilling if you apply other creams before it fully absorbs. Make sure to pat it in thoroughly before applying makeup!
TipIt works great as a standalone moisturizer after toner for oily summer skin, replacing your usual cream or emulsion.

Moisturizing and lightweight formula Smooth application Quick absorption without stickiness
ConsVolume Is the volume... always this small? I've never seen such a tiny ampoule before... I have at least five other ampoules at home, and they're all more than twice the size of this one. Blemishes I experienced some breakouts on my skin. This might vary depending on individual skin types, but in my case, my skin had been in great condition lately with no blemishes at all. However, I started getting breakouts on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. When I stopped using it, my skin went back to normal. Brightening effect I couldn't really see any brightening effects, possibly because it's summer and changes are less noticeable. Also, the testing period after receiving the product was quite short, so there was almost no visible effect. I would have liked to use it longer and add a review about the brightening effects, but I'm afraid of my skin breaking out again...
TipI won't be repurchasing and probably wouldn't recommend it either.

I got to use this product after winning a Hwahae event. The product costs 18,000 won. At first, it felt quite slippery when applied, but it quickly absorbed, leaving my skin feeling hydrated. It absorbs so well that you can move straight to applying cream after. Texture: Not too light, but a decent type that seems suitable for oily and combination skin. I like the packaging of the dropper - it fits perfectly into the bottle opening without going in at an angle, allowing for clean usage.
ConsI didn't experience any blemishes while using this product, so I was able to use it comfortably. It's a decent type, but I couldn't feel anything particularly special about it. The price also seems average.
TipAfter applying the product, gently pat your face to help it absorb! Since my foundation has a very thick consistency, I mixed a bit of this product with it when applying!

The texture is quite fluid, so it tends to run if applied directly to the face. A line squeezed on the forehead will trickle down to the nose! However, I loved how it turns slightly white when massaged in, then quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it firm and soft! Patting it in also resulted in great absorption. My skin is oily on the T-zone and butterfly zone, normal on the cheeks, and slightly dry on the chin. This serum felt more hydrating than oily on my skin. The finish is like a perfect blend of a soothing gel and a light cream - not overly sticky, but pleasantly firm and soft. It seemed to enhance the absorption of cream applied afterwards. Though I lean towards oily skin, I found this serum alone slightly drying in this weather. Those with very oily skin might find it perfect for summer use on its own! My skin tends to react with redness and itchy bumps to harsh products or incompatible ingredients, but this felt gentle! No blemishes appeared, and my skin felt comfortable, making for a pleasant user experience. I expected it to be unscented, but there's a subtle green tea-like fragrance. Just FYI! While it didn't dramatically whiten my skin, it did make my complexion look clearer! My skin appeared more pristine and bright than usual. I typically prefer gentle products over intensive treatments, so I appreciated that this was both mild and effective in brightening my skin.
ConsFor those with extremely dry skin, I absolutely recommend layering another cream on top! While I enjoyed the fresh finish, even I, with oily skin, felt it was slightly drying. Personally, I found the quantity a bit lacking. Given its fluid texture, I often applied two layers for better effect. This morning, this is how much is left (I used it generously for accurate results, please note). I typically used 2 pumps in the morning and 2-3 in the evening. Others might find 1-2 pumps sufficient. With more conservative use, it could last about a month and a half.

I have dry skin!! In summer, I sweat a lot and dislike feeling stuffy, so I prefer minimal makeup. The same goes for skincare. I was lucky enough to win this product, and I'm amazed at how quickly it absorbs - you can't even tell I've applied anything! The texture is a slightly viscous water-type. I love that I can layer it multiple times without my skin feeling suffocated!! To test it at night, I cleansed with toner and applied only the La Roche-Posay ampoule serum. While I felt some deep dryness, my skin looked noticeably smoother. I wasn't expecting intense hydration from an ampoule serum, so I was quite satisfied. As for brightening effects, it's not something you notice in the short term, so I think I'll need to use the whole bottle to see subtle changes. It has a lovely texture that's perfect for light summer use.
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit dehydrating. You definitely need to follow up with a cream. While it claims to be moisturizing, that's only when you first apply it. Once it absorbs, you can feel some deep dryness, which is disappointing.
TipIt's best to apply small amounts in two or three layers. Because it absorbs so quickly, layering doesn't make your skin feel heavy. I applied it twice during the day and three times at night.

I've used this product every single day for two weeks after receiving it!! The texture is fluid like water, and when you massage it in with your hands, it turns slightly white and then absorbs completely as you pat it in. While it didn't have a dramatic effect on eliminating blemishes: ✔️My skin became brighter overall I already have fair skin, but it became clearer, if that makes sense? There's potential for complexion improvement ✔️The lightweight texture makes it easy to apply It's not heavy and absorbs quickly after toner A fresh texture that shouldn't be polarizing ✔️I love that the container is glass Being non-plastic, it's less sensitive to temperature changes and looks luxurious ✔️It didn't cause any blemishes My mother and sister also tried this brightening product and didn't experience any major sensitivity I'm actually considering repurchasing it
ConsThere weren't any major disappointments! BUT ✔️15ml for 18,000 won The volume is too small for the price.. I used up an entire bottle of serum in two weeks ㅠㅠ.. It might be a bit burdensome price-wise ✔️There's almost no moisturizing effect You definitely need to apply another ampoule or essence after this product, as this serum alone isn't enough for hydration
TipI applied it generously in the evening. I've heard that brightening products don't work well with sunlight, so I applied it right before bed and patted it in to absorb. Also, I found it more effective to apply before using a regular sheet mask or rubber mask. I noticed better results when I applied an extra layer under the eyes, around the philtrum, and other areas needing complexion improvement. Just a little tip!

First off, it's practically odorless! There's minimal irritation, and it feels incredibly gentle, making it a reliable item you can use consistently. The texture is transparent and water-like. It's not sticky when applying and absorbs well into the skin very quickly. Rather than dramatic effects like intense brightening, it gives an overall clearer complexion. My skin hasn't been in great condition lately due to overexertion, but thanks to this product, it seems to have returned to its normal state.
ConsOddly enough, when I first applied it, it felt incredibly sticky, which was puzzling. It did improve as I continued to use it. Perhaps I just got used to it...? Also, because it absorbs so quickly, you need to spread it very rapidly! Otherwise, it's already completely absorbed. This means I end up using a bit more than I usually would for a serum, which is unfortunate given the small volume. It's not extremely hydrating, so those with dry skin will definitely need to follow up with a moisturizer!

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.ProsFirst off, I highly recommend this product! Let me dive in: My skin type: Extremely dry and sensitive While I don't typically suffer from blemishes, my skin is on the sensitive side, so I'm usually hesitant to try new products. I'm quite particular about ingredients and tend to scrutinize cosmetics before use. This one felt comfortable on my skin. There's no noticeable scent, and the consistency isn't sticky at all. In fact, it absorbs quickly like water, which I found quite pleasant. I've only been using it for about 5 days, so I haven't seen any dramatic skin transformations yet. However, I can definitely say my complexion feels clearer. I have naturally darker skin, so I'm quick to notice when it brightens up. Rather than a whitening effect, it's more like my skin is becoming clearer and more radiant. Though I haven't used it for long, I haven't experienced any irritation and I'm quite satisfied!
ConsThe biggest disappointment is definitely the packaging. When it arrived, there wasn't even a seal under the cap. It makes you wonder if someone else might have used it before. The lack of proper sealing is really unfortunate. Apart from that, I couldn't find any particular downsides with the product itself.
TipHere's a pro tip: After cleansing, apply some cooling aloe gel, then add a few drops of this product and let them absorb together. It's amazing! The water-like texture really helps it sink in well.

First off, it absorbs well and I love that it's almost fragrance-free. I've been using it for about a month now, and it seems to suit my skin well. As someone who prefers gentle cosmetics and is sensitive to scents and texture, I find this lightweight and it absorbs nicely, making it pleasant to use.
ConsThose who prefer a thicker consistency might find this a bit disappointing. As for me, I'm satisfied and using it well.
