It applies smoothly and the scent is quite pleasant. On lazy nights, I just layer this twice after toner. After letting it absorb fully, when I wash my face in the morning, my skin feels amazing. It's like my skin becomes soft yet firm!
ConsWhen putting the dropper back in after use, you need to be careful not to touch the glass bottle's rim. Otherwise, the product spills all over the outside of the bottle.

I bought it hoping to improve my complexion and blemishes, but I haven't seen much effect yet. I've used about half the bottle. If you think of it as just an essence to use after toner, rather than a vitamin C serum, it seems like a decent product to use. It's not extremely oily or moisturizing, but it somehow absorbs into the skin really well, like it's meant to be there. The scent seems to be a matter of personal preference, but I found it to be fine.
ConsMaybe because it contains a lot of vitamin C, it tends to stain my pillow when I apply it at night and go to sleep. Even when I'm lazy on weekends and only wash my face with water, it leaves very yellow stains on the towel. It might not seem like a big deal, but if your bedding is white, it can be quite annoying and bothersome. Also, the container has a dropper, but you have to close it very carefully, otherwise it leaks from the sides. The leaked product then discolors and hardens, making the container opening messy.
TipAll in all, I think this is a product without any significant pros or cons, so I don't plan to repurchase it. It's not particularly attractive price-wise if you're only looking for hydration...

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.ProsThis review is based on my personal purchase and use over 2 months. Application: The texture is very similar to a certain cold medicine, but it spreads more thinly and evenly when applied, making it easy to distribute across the skin. Experience: Unlike many vitamin serums that can lack hydration, this one provides a good level of moisture. I've noticed my skin feels softer in the morning after use (though I don't use it daily).
ConsPackaging: The dropper tip isn't well-designed - it has a 1mm hole that causes the product to stream out rather than drop, making it difficult to control the amount. The thick dropper and narrow bottle neck lead to product buildup around the opening and residue inside the cap. Scent: It has a complex artificial fragrance mixing orange, maple syrup, and notes reminiscent of dog shampoo. While these initial scents are tolerable, they fade to reveal an unpleasant rubber and metallic smell that lingers until you wash it off, potentially causing headaches. Minimal Brightening Effect: I used it daily on my chin scars initially but saw no noticeable difference. Interestingly, when I switched to using sunscreen daily instead, my scars actually faded. While it may provide some nourishment that gives an overall brighter appearance, it didn't actually whiten my skin.
TipI don't recommend using this together with the same brand's Cica Plus Balm as it can cause pilling.

Compared to other products, it has a feeling of sinking in smoothly.
ConsAnyone who's used this will agree that the packaging is... The dropper is really inconvenient. When you close it, the product spills all over the sides. Despite how well it absorbs, you can still feel that typical vitamin C pilling effect. They say it's good to apply with sunscreen during the day, but it's difficult to use because of the pilling.
TipIt's said that using vitamin C products alone is less irritating to the skin. If you want to add a moisturizing product, applying one with vitamin E (tocopherol) in a hydrating formula can help with absorption.

It has an orange color and a sticky gel-like texture. The powdery scent and matte finish initially seemed promising, but it ended up causing a breakout party on my chin.
ConsIf vitamin C doesn't agree with your skin, steer clear of this one. Also, the bottle design is questionable - a narrow opening with a subpar dropper? It drips and leaks everywhere. Even with discounts, it's still over $40. Not worth the money in my opinion.
TipForget about using this product neatly - it's going to be messy.

There's no stickiness either. I have oily, summer-prone skin, and it suits me so well that I'm on my second bottle. It feels like it's really soothing my skin too.
ConsThe dropper is inconvenient to use... It keeps dripping from the bottle opening... Also, if you use it for a long time, the color changes, so it's better to use it up quickly...

Let me share my review: The hydration was great. Since it's for dry skin, I felt it was a bit rich for me, like oil flowing on my skin. My friend with dry skin loved it though. I also applied it to my mother, and she said it was good. It seems to have reduced some dead skin cells as well.
ConsMaybe because I have a lot of blemishes, it stung a bit when I applied it. I didn't really notice much improvement in skin texture either. It seems like they sent a used product. There was some dried product on the side and it had leaked everywhere. The scent wasn't great, and the bottle opening seemed too narrow. The price also seems too high. Personally, I was a bit disappointed.
TipApply generously as the last step of your skincare routine for improved skin texture.

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.Pros- This is a review from The Hwahae Testers I used this product in the evenings for about 2 weeks. * Smooth skin texture After about a week, my skin became noticeably smoother. I didn't change any other products, so it's definitely the effect of this one. My skin feels soft when I wash my face in the morning and when I apply other products. * Firmness deep within It feels like my skin has become more supple. When I touch it, it feels plump and firm. I'd say it's more elastic. I don't usually use products like this, so it feels great. * Slightly brighter complexion There's a subtle radiance that only I notice. This varies day by day, but I can feel it when I wash my face in the morning. Overall, my skin tone seems clearer. * Rich texture, absorbs well I drop one drop each on my cheeks, nose, and forehead, and it absorbs as I spread it. When I pat it in, I can feel it being absorbed immediately.
Cons* Ingredients The ingredients are the most disappointing aspect. There are three ingredients to be cautious about. I usually avoid using skincare with cautionary ingredients these days, but this one was okay. I wonder if some of these ingredients could be removed. * Packaging It has a dropper, but it doesn't dispense cleanly. Maybe it's because of the texture, but if you're not careful when putting it back, it can drip around the opening. This is something to be mindful of. * Scent (personal preference) At first, I liked the orange scent, but sometimes it can be off-putting. The fragrance is too strong. This varies each time I apply it.
TipI use this right after my toner. Drop one drop at a time and spread it with a light touch. Then, gently cup your face with your warm palms, and you'll feel it charging your skin deeply. This alone isn't enough, so applying an emulsion afterwards is just right (as of September). The emulsion also absorbs well. — Products used — Make P:rem Cleansing Foam 1-2 times Isntree Toner 2-3 times La Roche-Posay Vitamin C Dokdo Emulsion (Cynic The Simple Daily Emulsion)

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.ProsThank you to The Hwahae Testers for giving me the opportunity to try this product! Due to a business trip, I didn't have much time to use it properly. Still, I feel like I've gotten a good sense of it from the time I did use it. As the name suggests, it's truly an ampoule serum and it's incredibly hydrating. Let's be honest, if a skincare product is moisturizing and doesn't cause blemishes, that's half the battle won, right? I have combination dehydrated skin, so during seasonal changes like now, my cheeks tend to feel very tight. I happened to run out of my previous ampoule when I started using this one, and the feeling was quite different from just using an ampoule alone. There's a slight richness to it, and its thick, concentrated texture really makes it feel like it's fulfilling its role as an ampoule serum. I did feel a slight tingling when I first applied it, but that went away after a couple of days of use. And importantly, no blemishes appeared!
ConsTo be honest, I wasn't a fan of the fragrance. I usually think that as long as a product works well, the scent doesn't matter much. But with this one, there's initially a strong baby powder-like scent, and after application, it develops into something like a metallic smell. These two scents are quite... contradictory, shall we say? Also, there seems to be an issue with the dropper - the product tends to run down the sides a lot. I found myself frantically wiping it up to avoid waste, which was frustrating.
TipIt's the changing of seasons now, right? My routine is to layer on a thick toner, apply this product twice, then use an aloe soothing gel, and finish with a cream. It's not exactly a tip, but this routine really helps to keep my skin hydrated without any pilling. The aloe step can be skipped, but I found my skin felt extremely dry if I skipped this ampoule serum!

The adorable packaging made it look like I'd bought jelly with a bonus essence. This was my second antioxidant product, and true to form, I felt a slight tingling sensation for the first two days (nothing irritating or painful, mind you!). By the third day, that sensation was gone. Interestingly, while it usually didn't tingle, there were occasional evenings after cleansing when I'd feel that slight tingle again - it actually made me feel like my skin was improving, especially on days when I wasn't feeling my best. I was initially worried about the rich texture being too oily, but it spreads with a hydrating feel and doesn't leave a sticky residue.
ConsIf I had to mention two slightly disappointing aspects after using this product, firstly, being a vitamin product, I had high hopes for improving my complexion. However, it's only been two weeks, so I haven't noticed any significant changes yet. I'll make sure to update my review if I see satisfying results after continued use. Secondly, regarding the packaging, the dropper doesn't hold the product well - it tends to drip down instead of staying put, which is a bit inconvenient.
