It absorbs well and doesn't feel sticky, which I love.
ConsWhen my skin is irritated, it might sting a little when applied, but that's about the only downside.

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.ProsI have combination/blemish-prone skin with concerns about pores, redness, and acne scars that change with the seasons. 1. Texture: Despite being a highly concentrated fermented ampoule, it's not overly sticky. It's mainly hydrating and feels moisturizing. The slightly viscous, water-like formula absorbs quickly and feels light, making for an overall pleasant application experience. 2. Redness reduction: Whether it's due to its barrier-improving properties or its ability to provide hydration, I noticed it had a calming effect on my redness. While it didn't completely eliminate it, it toned down the bright red to a more subdued indie pink shade. In the morning, using a brightening moisturizer with SPF helped conceal it even further, which was great. 3. Frequent sales: It often goes on sale at Olive Young or has 1+1 promotions. Hwahae also frequently runs deals, so if you time it right, you can get it at a great value.
Cons1. Slight irritation: Perhaps due to the fermented ingredients, it wasn't completely irritation-free. It wasn't severe, but when my skin was in a sensitive state, I felt a slight tingling sensation. It didn't cause any blemishes though. If you have super sensitive skin, make sure to patch test before use. 2. Can be drying: The biggest drawback of its light, quick-absorbing formula is that it can leave skin feeling dry rather quickly. It's necessary to either reapply on dry areas or ensure you're using plenty of hydrating and moisturizing products in your toner and cream steps.
TipRemember to layer this product with other hydrating items in your skincare routine for best results. It works well as part of a daily mask routine for those with combination dehydrated skin. While it helps with the Inner Glow, those prone to deep dryness should take extra care to supplement with additional moisture.

It's absolutely amazing!!!
ConsThere was a slight tingling sensation at first, but it became more comfortable as I continued to apply it in small amounts

When I was using it regularly, I felt like it was really making a difference.
ConsWhen my skin was super sensitive, it felt tingling and didn't absorb well, so I had to stop using it. After that, I found myself not reaching for it much...

I often feel uneasy when there's an unnecessary fragrance, especially in skincare items. This product, however, has no scent at all, which made a great first impression. Texture: The consistency is exactly what you'd expect from an ampoule, which was very satisfying. It's not too watery, so it doesn't leave your face feeling dry quickly, nor is it too gel-like, so there's no sticky residue after application. After applying, my skin felt hydrated, and the finish was refreshingly light. It's even suitable to use before makeup. Hydration: While the hydration isn't extraordinary, it meets the expectations you'd have for an ampoule. I used a small amount in the morning and layered it twice in the evening. For my normal-to-dry skin type, it provided adequate moisture. Cooling effect: The cooling effect is truly outstanding. Even when applied at room temperature, you can feel the coolness. It would be perfect for lowering skin temperature during summer months.
ConsIngredients: Unfortunately, the ingredients didn't seem to agree with my skin. Although I have sensitive skin, it's not usually extreme. I used it consistently for three days to write this Hwahae Testers review, but my skin became increasingly irritated and red, forcing me to stop using it. This wasn't even during a particularly sensitive period for my skin. While it didn't cause blemishes, my entire face became flushed. Due to my history with severe acne, some faded acne marks became more noticeable again. It was too harsh to use on my face, so I ended up applying it to my arms and legs instead.
TipI usually use the A** 365 cream, which works really well for me. Mixing this ampoule with that cream made it somewhat more tolerable. If you find that this product doesn't work well for you, but it's not as severe as my reaction, you might try mixing small amounts with a cream that you know works well for your skin.

The 10 types of hyaluronic acid help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier. ✅ Absorption ✅ Texture With its lightweight formula, it absorbs quickly without any stickiness. It's also nearly fragrance-free, making it comfortable to use. Overall, it seems to be a product with a pleasant user experience.
Cons☑ Soothing Although I usually use skincare products with fermented ingredients without worry, I experienced small inflammatory blemishes and slight tingling. This led me to stop using it for about 3-4 days. ☑ Skin Barrier Strengthening I've learned what it means to strengthen the skin barrier from using La Roche-Posay B5+ Balm on my compromised skin. However, I didn't notice similar changes with this product. ☑ Brightening and Anti-Wrinkle Unfortunately, I couldn't perceive the brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits claimed by this product.

The shipping box is tape-free, and the product package has just a sealing sticker. You can unfold the entire box along the perforated lines. The ampoule has a slow-flowing consistency, making it easy to apply directly to your face. The dropper is conveniently curved at the tip too! I try to avoid fragrances and allergens, so I appreciate that this product is clean, free from pore-clogging ingredients and other harmful substances. In fact, I've used it for about two weeks without any blemishes. It seems to help refine skin texture, and after application, it leaves a slight glow that's perfect for creating an Inner Glow look before makeup if you let it absorb well.
ConsDue to the nature of the product, the fermented ingredients might cause a tingling or irritating sensation if they don't suit your skin. And inevitably, it's difficult to experience dramatic effects with just an ampoule.
TipHere's a tip: Before bed, place toner pads on your face and add a drop of the ampoule to each pad. This prevents quick drying and works like a simple 5-10 minute mask.

It absorbs well into the skin quickly.
ConsWhen I applied it, it stung a bit, but I thought it was just because my skin was dry. However, within 10 minutes, my entire face broke out in red spots as if pricked by needles. It became painful, and dead skin cells started to appear. I've never experienced such a severe skin reaction before. It took over two months to recover, and I could only use regenerating creams during that time.

Pleasant to use - Absorbs quickly. No discomfort due to fast absorption. - Not too heavy even for oily skin - Just the right level of hydration for oily skin in changing seasons and winter, preventing dead skin cells. 👍 ⭐️2. Well-thought-out ingredients 👍 Overall good combination of ingredients - Wrinkle prevention: ⭐️Acetyl hexapeptide Blocks neurotransmitters (catecholamines) to prevent wrinkles. (A somewhat pricey ingredient) + Adenosine: Wrinkle prevention. - Skin hydration: Hyaluronic acid, Squalane - Skin regeneration: Madecassoside and all those Asia-something ingredients. - Hydration and skin texture improvement : ⭐️Ferments (Bifida/Lactobacillus) These ingredients help reduce dead skin cells and maintain skin barrier. They're also key ingredients in famous high-end cosmetics. They're the core components of this product too. = You can feel your skin becoming smoother after use 3. Low irritation tested 👍 Good for sensitive skin too. I didn't experience any irritation while using it. 4. Reasonable price. 😏 With these ingredients, it's a good deal at mid-20,000 won range when on sale. It's super cost-effective at this price. Comparing with other fermented cosmetics, you could look at famous brands' brown bottle, SK-II essence, etc., but those are basically 10 times the price. Yet the ingredients are very similar. Which one should you choose???? Huh???? 🤨 These ingredients are so common now that there's no need to use expensive brands.
ConsDrawbacks: 1. The strength is also the weakness, it's a double-edged sword. Ferments can cause irritation. Use with caution if you have atopic or extremely sensitive skin. Especially if it feels stinging like a bee sting or itchy, stop using immediately. 2. Might not play well with makeup More types of hyaluronic acid are always good for hydration. However, it might cause makeup to pill, so let it absorb before applying makeup!
TipPro tip: It's more rational to invest in ingredients rather than brand value. It's not a world where cheaper always means inferior quality.
