After application, the moisturized state lasted for a long time, and I felt that it protected my skin barrier. - Product Packaging โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ The dropper made it possible to use the product more hygienically. The liquid absorption was also good, so I was able to use it without much difficulty.
Cons- Fragrance The fragrance is really too strong... I'm not sure what it is, but it's just too much... At first, I got used to it and used it with a grimace, but when I tried to use it again after a long time, the fragrance was so unbearable that I couldn't use it anymore. - Effectiveness I'm not sure about the spot care or antioxidant effects. - Texture It has a somewhat runny texture. I don't like how quickly it evaporates, so I would prefer a thicker texture, although it might feel a bit heavy. - Price It's too expensive at 52,000 won, so I'm going to switch to another alternative vitamin serum.
TipI'll try to use up the remaining product on my body at least.

I have a combination~normal skin type and occasionally get acne. During the time I used this product, I didn't get any new breakouts. Also, I had some acne scars here and there, and they seemed to fade a bit while using this product. The texture is thick like runny mucus, but it provides great hydration on its own, so you don't need many other skincare products. It applies thinly without feeling dry, but if you apply it thickly, it can get greasy and feel heavy..haha. And despite the moisture, it doesn't feel sticky on the face. After application, it leaves a refreshing finish. However, I'm not sure if it's because of the vitamin ingredients, but it did sting a bit on the areas with acne. But when I woke up the next day, the acne seemed to have calmed down a bit.
Cons* The moisture content and thick texture may feel heavy or suffocating for those with oily skin. * The recommended usage period is 2 months, so it's difficult to use it for a long time. Plus, it's not very affordable, so it would be a shame if the usage period expired after you bought it. You'd have to use it up quickly once you purchase it. * The scent is quite strong. The fragrance lingers for a while even after application, so those with sensitive noses may not prefer it. * A lot of the serum tends to get stuck around the dropper, so it often gets smeared on the opening, and sometimes even drips down when you lift the dropper.
TipGreat for the changing seasons or dry weather. Also good for calming redness.

First of all, I have sensitive skin with redness, dry skin, and high inflammatory acne-prone skin.๐ญ - Texture: The formula is thick and intensely moisturizing! I only needed to use 3 drops, one on my forehead and one on each cheek, and it provided sufficient moisture and spread easily. I think it will last me a long time as I don't need a lot each time. - Antioxidant: As I'm in my early 20s, I didn't notice a drastic antioxidant effect. However, after using it, my skin looks more vibrant and plump. My skin, which was damaged and sagging due to acne, seems to have regained some vitality. I think it's an effective enough product that I'd even want to get one for my mom. - Brightening: To be honest, I'm not sure... Since my skin was already not very dark to begin with.ใ ใ However, my blemishes and acne scars do seem to have faded a lot. I'm not sure if it's due to the passage of time or thanks to this ampoule, but as a vitamin C ampoule, it has definitely been beneficial. - Breakouts: Even though I have sensitive skin with high inflammatory acne, I didn't get any breakouts from using this! I vaguely remember hearing that vitamin C is good for skin with high inflammation (not sure if this is accurate), and when I switched all my basic skincare products to low pH, my acne disappeared and my skin is so peaceful now.ใ ใ - Other: I've been applying it morning and night, and when I wipe my face with a cleansing water at night, the yellow vitamin residue comes off on the cotton pad.ใ ใ ใ ใ ใ ใ ใ It's fascinating to see that this is definitely vitamin C.ใ ใ I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but it's a bit inconvenient that it gets on my pillow when I sleep. Lastly, as for repurchasing, hmm.. I don't think I'll buy it for myself! But I do have the intention to repurchase it to give to my mom. The reason is that I don't really have any specific skin concerns that I want to improve with a vitamin C ampoule, and the price is just too steep.๐ญ
ConsPersonally, I prefer unscented or natural fragrances, but this is not the case here... It feels like they've crammed in artificial fragrances. If you're sensitive to scents, there may be some who dislike it. I'm not too concerned about it and continue using it! As for the packaging, if you're not careful when taking out and putting in the dropper, it can be a total disaster with the lid getting covered and dripping everywhere.
TipPersonally, I've seen the effects of using this ampoule along with mild acidic skincare - my acne has disappeared and my blemishes have improved! I can't say for certain that this ampoule was solely responsible, as I changed my entire skincare routine at once, but I suspect there was a synergistic effect.

It has a thick texture, is chewy, and has good spreadability. It brightens the skin and keeps it moisturized.
ConsThe downside is that it has a bit of an oily feel, and some pimples popped up. Also, it's quite dense and needs to be patted in for absorption.

It's not greasy. It has a concentrated feel. My complexion looks brighter.
ConsAfter applying, a musty smell comes up after some time. After applying, my skin felt itchy.
TipWhile there is a sense of brightening, my skin felt too itchy, so I applied it in small amounts with time in between. For those who experience more benefits than side effects, I recommend using it consistently. For those who experience more severe side effects, I advise discontinuing use immediately.

It has a slightly creamy texture, but it absorbs into the skin nicely. It doesn't feel dry at all. When applied, it penetrates well and forms a protective barrier on the skin. Even after some time, there is no oily residue in the T-zone. It leaves the skin feeling moisturized and helps strengthen the skin barrier. It seems like a good option for the evening or during the winter.
ConsI have sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin, and after using it about three times, I developed cystic acne on my cheeks. I tried it on the back of my hand at the Olive Young fall sale, and it felt so moisturizing and nice that I trusted the La Roche-Posay name and bought it right away. I usually prefer fragrance-free products, but the fragrance is quite strong. Even though I can tolerate the fragrance, the acne... The cystic acne that developed is quite large. There are also a few small whiteheads. Typically, these types of ampoule essences dispense cleanly, but this one gets stuck in the bottle opening and doesn't come out smoothly. I really like other La Roche-Posay product lines, but I'll have to use the remaining serum on my extremely dry body. There's a sample trial on the La Roche-Posay website now. It may work for others, so I'd recommend trying the sample first and deciding based on that. I'd love to experience the vitamin C benefits of La Roche-Posay, but I'm hesitant to try it again due to the cystic acne.
