After application, it leaves a long-lasting moisturized feeling, which made me feel like it was protecting my skin barrier. - Product Packaging: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The dropper allows for more hygienic use. The liquid uptake is also good, so I could use it without any major difficulties.
Cons- Scent The fragrance is really overpowering... I'm not sure what scent it is... At first, I got used to it and kept using it despite the strong smell, but when I tried to use it again after a while, the scent was so intense I couldn't bear it. - Effectiveness I'm not sure about its effectiveness for blemish care or antioxidant benefits... - Texture It has a slightly runny consistency. I prefer thicker textures as I don't like products that evaporate too quickly, but this might feel heavy for some. It leaves a sticky residue... - Price The price is brutal... 52,000 won is a bit burdensome, so I'm planning to switch to another vitamin serum that's more affordable...
TipI'll use up the leftovers on my body...

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsHere's my review as a Hwahae Tester: I was lucky enough to be selected for The Hwahae Testers and used this product for about two weeks. My skin type fluctuates between dry and normal, and I occasionally get blemishes. While using this product, I didn't experience any new breakouts. I also noticed that some of my acne scars seemed to fade ever so slightly. The texture is thick and creamy, similar to a rich serum. It's so hydrating that you might not need any other skincare products! A thin layer is enough to keep your skin from feeling dry. In fact, if you apply too much, it can feel a bit greasy and heavy. Despite its intense hydration, it doesn't leave your face feeling sticky, which is great. It has a fresh finish after application. I did notice a slight tingling sensation on areas with active blemishes, possibly due to the vitamin content. However, I found that my breakouts actually seemed calmer when I woke up the next morning.
Cons* The rich texture and high moisture content might feel heavy or suffocating for those with oily skin. * The recommended use-by date is only two months, which makes it difficult to use over a long period. Given that it's not particularly cheap, it would be a shame to let it expire. Once you buy it, you'll need to use it consistently and quickly. * The fragrance is quite strong and lingers for a while after application. Those with sensitive noses might not appreciate this. * The product tends to accumulate around the dropper, which can lead to mess around the bottle opening. Sometimes, the excess product on the dropper can drip unexpectedly when you lift it out.
TipPerfect for seasonal changes or dry days. Also great for calming redness.

First off, I have sensitive skin with redness, dry skin, and acne-prone skin with high inflammation levels. Texture: It has a rich texture with intense hydration! Just three drops - one on the forehead and one on each cheek - are enough to feel moisturized and absorb well. Since you don't need a large amount at once, I think it will last quite a while! Antioxidant effect: Being in my early 20s, I didn't notice any dramatic antioxidant effects. However, after using it, my skin looks more vibrant and firm! It's as if my skin, damaged and sagging from acne, has regained some vitality. The effect is good enough that I'd like to get one for my mother too! Brightening: To be honest, I'm not sure... My skin wasn't particularly dark to begin with. However, it seems like my blemishes and acne scars have faded quite a bit. I'm not sure if it's due to time passing or this ampoule, but I suppose a Vitamin C ampoule must have helped! Blemishes: Despite having sensitive, acne-prone skin with high inflammation, I didn't experience any breakouts after using this! I vaguely remember hearing that Vitamin C is good for skin with high inflammation (not sure if that's accurate), but after switching all my basic skincare products to low pH along with this ampoule, my acne disappeared and my skin became peaceful. Other notes: I applied it consistently morning and evening, and when I wiped my face with cleansing water at night, the cotton pad would be full of yellow vitamin that hadn't fully absorbed. It's fascinating to see that it really is vitamin! I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but it's a bit inconvenient that it stains my pillow a bit when I sleep. Lastly, regarding repurchasing... For myself, no! But I might repurchase it as a gift for my mother. The reason is that I don't have any specific concerns I want to address with a Vitamin C ampoule, and also because the price is quite steep...
ConsScent: Personally, I prefer unscented or natural scents, but this isn't like that... It feels like they've packed it with artificial fragrances? If you're sensitive to scents, some people might dislike it. I'm using it without paying much attention to it! Packaging: If you're not careful when removing and inserting the dropper, you might end up with a disaster where it gets all over the cap and drips everywhere...
TipPersonally, after using this along with low pH basic skincare, I saw improvements in my acne and blemishes! Since I changed all my skincare products at once, I can't say for certain it was all due to this ampoule, but I suspect there was a synergistic effect.

The texture is rich and creamy with a smooth application. It brightens the skin and provides great hydration.
ConsUnfortunately, it seems a bit oily, which caused some blemishes to appear. Also, while it has a nice bouncy texture, you need to pat it in for it to absorb well.

It's not greasy at all. It feels concentrated and really brightens up your complexion.
ConsAfter a while, there's a grassy smell that develops. It made my skin feel itchy after application.
TipWhile it does seem to even out the skin tone, the itchiness was quite bothersome, so I had to apply it sparingly with time intervals. If you find the benefits outweigh the side effects, continue using it consistently. However, if the side effects are more pronounced for you, I recommend discontinuing use immediately.

It's slightly rich but feels like it's penetrating deeply. It's not drying at all. When applied, it absorbs well and feels like it's forming a protective barrier on the skin. Even after some time, it doesn't make the T-zone oily. It gives a hydrating feeling and seems to build up the skin barrier. It would be good for evenings or during winter.
ConsI have sensitive, acne-prone combination dehydrated skin, and after using it about three times, I got a pustular acne on my cheek. I tried it on the back of my hand during Olive Young's fall sale, and it felt so hydrating and nice that I, despite my blemishes-prone skin, immediately bought it trusting the La Roche-Posay name. I prefer unscented products, but the fragrance... is strong. Even if I could overlook the scent, my skin... a quite large acne has appeared. A pustular acne with a few small whiteheads. Usually, such ampoule essences come out cleanly and easily, but this one sticks around the bottle opening and doesn't dispense well. I really like other La Roche-Posay lines, but I guess I'll have to use the remaining serum on my extremely dry body. I see there's a sample trial on the La Roche-Posay website now. Since it might suit some people's skin, I recommend trying the sample first before deciding. I'd like to experience more of La Roche-Posay's vitamin C effects, but I'm hesitant because of the current pustular acne.
