The ingredients are the most disappointing aspect. While the immediate effects make me want to keep using it, if I had purchased it myself, I wouldn't have tried it in the first place due to the ingredient combination.

When I first applied it, I felt an immediate tightening sensation as if my skin was becoming more elastic. After using it for about a month, that feeling subsided. It seems to even out my complexion nicely, and it absorbs well, which I really like.

포토 에이지 앰플

Don't get greedy with it. If you apply too much in the morning, the vitamin C can oxidize and make your skin look dull. Apply moderately and make sure it absorbs well.

The irritation can be intense, so you shouldn't apply too much. I get a bit nervous every time I open the container. It's meant to be used in one day, but the amount is too much for that, which is awkward.

After using only Black Diamond, I tried this and it's not bad. Since I have sensitive skin, I'm careful not to overdo it and use half a container every 3-4 days. My skin feels hydrated the next day.

I found it even more effective when I applied this at night and followed up with a rubber mask!

The rich texture and high price point are drawbacks. If not absorbed properly, it can cause pilling and takes quite a while to sink in.

With long-term use, I noticed an improvement in my skin texture and a natural glow!

It stings a bit when applied. I used it about two weeks after laser toning, and it caused redness and a burning sensation. Also, I ended up breaking half the ampoules while trying to open them.

The next day, my skin felt brighter and smoother, which made my makeup apply beautifully.

In the evening, after using this product, applying a gentle night cream makes my skin feel really comfortable. Also, since it's a vitamin-based product, make sure to apply sunscreen before going out when using it in the morning.

Since it's in a glass bottle, I'm a bit worried about glass shards, but it's great that they include an opener when purchasing from the home shopping channel.

My skin has been sensitive and problematic since I was young, with severe redness and thinness. As I've gotten older, I've even developed dark spots. As a beauty junkie, I've tried countless cosmetics, but this is the first time I've experienced such a dramatic improvement. You can see the before and after photos - the left is after one month of use, and the right is before. Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt something had changed significantly. My skin definitely improved. Comparing the photos, I can see my overall complexion has become clearer. The product feels great to use, causes no irritation for me, and despite being a vitamin-based product, it's less sticky, doesn't irritate my eyes, and doesn't dry out my skin. The application is so pleasant that I used it consistently every morning and night for a month. When I apply it in the morning, followed by sunscreen and makeup, it doesn't pill at all - instead, it keeps my skin hydrated. Both photos were taken in the same place, under the same lighting, after cleansing and completing my skincare routine. I highly recommend this product!

I've noticed some people injure their hands trying to open glass bottles barehanded. Use a towel instead! Hold one end of the towel around the bottle's body and the other end around the cap, close to the white line. Keep the cap pointing upwards (hold the bottle upright). Then twist the cap off. The popping sound still startles me every time! Nevertheless, I find using a towel easier than the opener.

Note: If you have dull skin with visible pores and sagging, you might not see significant results. In such cases, lifestyle changes and treatments like at-home microneedling (effective after 3+ sessions) may be necessary. Regular intense exercise, cutting out late-night snacks and alcohol, and maintaining these habits for at least 3 months can lead to noticeable skin improvements.

I bought 60 bottles from a home shopping channel and was initially hesitant to open them. Even after reading numerous reviews and using the provided opener as instructed, I still had difficulty. Sometimes the bottle would open, but glass fragments would come out, making me question the purpose of the special opener. To make matters worse, the plastic opener broke... Am I just too strong?

Fragrance: The scent is truly delightful, reminiscent of vitamin-rich fruits. It's so refreshing and uplifting that applying it feels like an aromatherapy session!

Deep hydration: As I've gotten older, my skin has become increasingly dehydrated. However, when I generously apply the Matiderm Photo-Age Ampoule and seal it with a nourishing cream, my skin feels deeply hydrated without any tightness. What a relief, especially after struggling with extremely dry skin this winter and frantically trying various creams!

Radiance: After patting the ampoule into my skin, it leaves a beautiful, glossy finish - as if I've applied an oil film. It dramatically improves the appearance of my skin. Though it might not suit those who dislike a dewy look.

Brightening: Thanks to its whitening and anti-wrinkle ingredients, it noticeably brightens my complexion. My skin looks clearer, more translucent, and feels more supple.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product and would definitely repurchase!

It may cause a tingling sensation if applied after exfoliation. Since it's a vitamin C ampoule, it should be applied before bed, and I recommend storing it in the refrigerator.

If you apply it and sleep with blackheads or sebum buildup, it seems the vitamin C oxidizes along with the sebum, turning it all black. So I gradually stopped using it. Due to the high concentration of vitamin C, you don't need separate exfoliation, but it might cause some tingling.

Known as a famous Spanish pharmacy skincare brand. Those who use this probably take advantage of duty-free shops, right? Many people stock up on it. I've been using it for about 2 years myself. I believe Photoage is a product that manages both firmness and brightening, and I remember hearing it has a high vitamin C content. 

Since vitamin C oxidizes very easily when exposed to air and sunlight, it's enclosed in vacuum-sealed glass capsules. That's why you need to use the special Martiderm opener to break the seal. The vitamin C and active ingredients settle at the bottom, so you need to shake it well before use.

What I've noticed over 2 years of use is that the dramatic smoothness and improvement in firmness I felt was mainly in the beginning. Initially, I was so amazed that I bought even more on my next trip abroad. After applying it before bed, I'd wake up the next day with such a clear, bright, and firm complexion that I couldn't help but be impressed. Now my skin has improved so much that I might not feel the effects as strongly as before. Remembering those initial results, I strongly recommend trying it at least once!

The packaging is an absolute disaster. Even with all the tools they provide, it keeps breaking and leaking

The one and only product that's ever made me feel like my skin actually improved from using cosmetics

Sometimes glass shards get inside when opening it. It's harder to open compared to other glass bottle ampoules

I tried this product because it's so well-known, and I love how it's rich and helps combat dryness

It works even better when used after exfoliating dead skin cells.

The glass bottle keeps breaking every time I open it. Once, a shard even got stuck in my hand. Even with the safety cap, I've been startled by glass particles getting on my face. I really hope they improve this.

After using this product, my face feels radiant. It seems to have reduced my blemishes, and the fragrance is lovely too.

After using this, my forehead erupted with blemishes. I absolutely cannot recommend it. I don't even have super sensitive skin, but this product caused my forehead to break out twice. Since then, I've been struggling with small, persistent acne-like bumps that won't go away.

There's nothing good to say about this product. I bought it because people said it was great, but I spent a lot of money for nothing.

Make sure to try a sample before buying the full-size product...

After using 5 ampoules, my skin reacted badly everywhere I applied it - face, neck, and décolletage. I broke out in red, blotchy hives. This is the first time I've had such a reaction to a cosmetic product. The irritation isn't subsiding easily, so I might need to see a dermatologist.

I purchased this at the duty-free shop. At first, I noticed my skin immediately brightened and felt hydrated.

It's been about 2 weeks now, and starting from the 3rd day of using Matideum, I've been getting one or two pimples popping up, and as of yesterday, it's become irritating and my face has turned red, with hives coming up as well..... I don't usually experience such a drastic change, and I'm quite perplexed.

At first, the glossy finish felt really nice and it wasn't very irritating at all.
