Pros
When the skin starts to show signs of flipping over or gradually rising, applying it makes it feel like it goes in quickly! I've seen the effect of it disappearing faster after use compared to before use!
Cons
Since it flows like water, you can't just drop it on your face with a dropper, and you have to drop it on your palm first and then apply it, but it has a very light skin feel so it disappears quickly from your palm...
Tip
I think it's best to soak a thin pad and place it on the troubled area (you should use a cotton pad like Sirucotto, not a regular cotton pad, to avoid waste)

Pros
After using it for 2 weeks, my complexion became brighter, and the stubborn adult acne marks faded significantly, making my overall skin tone clearer and more transparent. While the effects are not extremely versatile, it worked for me, so I have the intention to repurchase. When applied, it feels just like regular water and is very moisturizing. I just use the dropper to dispense an appropriate amount onto my forehead and cheeks at night, then spread it evenly across my face. It absorbs quickly and leaves a nice, dewy finish!
Cons
It's quite expensive compared to the amount. Half of it was gone within a month. Since it flows like regular water, it's best to tilt your head upwards slightly and apply the appropriate amount. In the beginning, I failed to control the amount and got it in my eyes, which was unpleasant (it stings if it gets in your eyes).
Tip
If I use this in the morning along with my lotion, essence, and cream, my makeup tends to slide off, so I only use it at night as a night care product.

Pros
After using the wrong foundation, I started getting milia and cystic acne about once or twice a month. But since using this product, the milia have decreased to about once a month, and the cystic acne only appears on tiring days. <Pros> 1. Calms Breakouts: As mentioned in the review, it effectively calms breakouts. 2. Moisturizing: While the ampoule may not have exceptional moisturizing power for those who want intense hydration, for someone like me who uses it to calm breakouts, applying it twice is enough that I don't need to use a cream on oily days. 3. Long Dropper: The long dropper is great because it's frustrating when there's little product left and the dropper is short. This one dispenses a good amount at once, which is very convenient.
Cons
<Cons> 1. Moisturizing: This may seem contradictory, but as an ampoule, the moisturizing could be lacking. If the moisturizing had been enhanced, it may have caused a sellout frenzy. 2. Texture: This is related to the moisturizing aspect, but the texture is very watery, so you have to be careful not to let it all run off your face.
Tip
Applying it twice definitely helps it absorb more deeply. Use the dropper to dispense the ampoule into your palm, then gently pat it onto your face. Keep the dropper in the bottle, or you might be shocked to find the cap wasn't closed the next evening... Always make sure to securely close the cap!

Pros
My skin sometimes experiences breakouts. The texture is watery, lightweight, and refreshing. When applied, it absorbs without feeling sticky. I usually use other products, but I only use this when I have breakouts, and it seems to really help calm them down. The ingredients are good, so I plan to continue using it. The scent is somewhat earthy, closer to the smell of soil than tea tree, but since it doesn't contain fragrance, I actually prefer it.
Cons
It's quite runny, so you need to be careful when using it. Even for my combination skin, the moisturizing power is on the lighter side, so it may feel a bit drying in the winter. I usually apply this first and then layer a heavier product on top.
Tip
Using this together with a breakout-focused cleanser, toner, and spot treatment can create a great synergistic effect.

Pros
I use a different ampoule every night as part of my daily routine. I only use it at night when I have trouble skin. Most of the new trouble spots seem to calm down on their own. If I cleanse my face and do my full skincare routine, including this product, on the same day that a trouble spot appears, it's about 90% calmer by the next morning. And since the formula is lightweight, it doesn't feel like I've applied an ampoule after using it.
Cons
There's really nothing I'm dissatisfied with, but if I had to nitpick, the formula is very fluid and runny, so I have to dispense it with the dropper and quickly absorb it with my hands. It's not a big issue, but it did catch me off guard at first.

Pros
The trouble is visibly calming down! The thin, refreshing texture was great for applying to the breakouts on my chest.
Cons
The texture is a bit too watery... It just drips down. So I had to use the dropper to dispense half a dose and quickly pat it on.

Pros
After watching YouTube acne care videos and using this product about halfway, this product has been the most effective in improving acne scars!
Cons
The only downside is that it is a bit runny! You have to apply it quickly before it starts to flow out ㅎㅎ

Pros
I was a bit skeptical about buying it because of my acne scars, but I'm really satisfied with how my whole face has brightened up. It absorbs well and doesn't leave a greasy feeling, so I'm planning to keep using it going forward.
Cons
It's too runny, so it keeps dripping down when I apply it. I have to apply it section by section.

Pros
This product worked better for my skin than I expected~ I've been having a couple of breakouts lately, so I started using this product, and it definitely calmed my skin after just a few uses. And after using it for about three days, it gently controlled my oil while leaving my skin feeling smooth and supple. At first, the watery texture and the tea tree oil scent made me feel like it wasn't the best experience, but that impression has completely changed now^^ Propolis ampoules are the most popular from COSRX, and I've used a few bottles, but this product works much better for me and has better effects. This was the most effective ampoule I've tried recently!!^^
Cons
The watery texture means you have to be careful when applying it so it doesn't drip off. Those sensitive to scents may not like it. And it can sting a bit when applied to active breakouts, but it still calms the skin well^^
Tip
Layering it several times on problem areas makes the effects even better!!
