ConsSince this product contains fermented ingredients, it's best avoided by those who don't respond well to this type of formulation.
TipWhat's more, it applies smoothly under makeup without any pilling, creating a perfect base. This makes it ideal for morning use without any hassle.

This is the ultimate value-for-money product among affordable versions of Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair brown bottle serum. It's the #1 bestseller from Witch's Potion, featuring skin-friendly ingredients at a wallet-friendly price. The highly concentrated, thin formula has a light brown tint, is almost fragrance-free, and offers anti-aging, brightening, and wrinkle-improving benefits. 2. There's absolutely no stickiness, it applies smoothly, and absorbs quickly into the skin. 3. Even without using toner, applying this serum directly leaves the skin incredibly hydrated, likely due to its 10 types of hyaluronic acid. It makes the overall skin texture soft and supple, evens out the complexion, and gives a feeling of increased elasticity. It's easy to see why this product is so popular. This serum gained fame when it appeared as product placement in the hit drama "Crash Landing on You," shown as a popular South Korean item secretly sold in North Korean markets. Coincidentally, Son Ye-jin was the brand ambassador for Witch's Potion at that time. 4. While the full brightening and anti-wrinkle effects will be more noticeable after using one bottle for about a month, I generally find fermented products effective, which is why I'm fond of them. 5. I appreciate that it doesn't have the characteristic scent often associated with fermented products. Ingredients and Key Components 1. Free from harmful ingredients. 2. Contains Bifida Biome + 5 types of probiotics: Bifida Ferment Lysate (3%), Bifida Ferment Filtrate (2.046ppm), Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit Ferment Filtrate, Cutibacterium Granulosum Ferment Extract Filtrate (5ppm), and Black Yeast Ferment. 3. Niacinamide and Adenosine: Functional ingredients for brightening and wrinkle improvement. 4. 10 types of Hyaluronic Acid: For hydration. 5. Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid: For soothing and regeneration. 6. Other beneficial ingredients include Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract, and Physalis Alkekengi Calyx Extract. 7. Copper Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: For elasticity and wrinkle care.
ConsI'm quite satisfied with both the feel and effectiveness, so there aren't many downsides. However, it would be nice if it came in a larger 100ml size.
TipMy Personal Usage Tips 1. For a simplified skincare routine perfect for hot weather, apply the Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule directly, followed by either a cica moisturizer or a cica skin barrier cream. This two-step "skincare diet" eliminates stickiness while maximizing benefits. 2. If your skin doesn't tolerate fermented skincare well, you might experience blemishes. In that case, try using it alongside a cica moisturizer or aloe gel cream.

I was pleasantly surprised by how gentle the Minya Factory ampoule is. What I loved most about it is that it's not sticky at all and absorbs well with a fresh feeling! Usually, ampoules can feel heavy or slick, which can be uncomfortable after application, but this product is as light as water and sinks right into the skin without any burden. I'm also quite sensitive to fragrances, and strong scents often give me headaches and make me feel uneasy. The Minya Factory ampoule has almost no artificial fragrance, which I really appreciate. Every time I use it, my skin feels comfortable, and I haven't experienced any blemishes, so I can use it with peace of mind.
ConsThe hydration feels a bit lacking, so I always made sure to use it with a cream.

My T-zone is always oily, while my U-zone is constantly dry. I'm prone to occasional blemishes and often struggle with rough skin texture. Pro 1: Despite being a highly concentrated barrier care ampoule, it feels incredibly light on the skin! I absolutely detest stickiness, and most barrier care products tend to be heavy and tacky. However, this product is completely non-sticky and doesn't leave an excessive oily residue, making it perfect for both morning and evening use! Pro 2: I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked, given its lightweight feel. When I first started using it, my skin barrier was quite compromised, resulting in redness and frequent breakouts. Amazingly, this product helped calm everything down, and with consistent use, my skin has become noticeably less sensitive. Pro 3: This ampoule not only provides barrier care but also deeply hydrates the skin, eliminating any dryness. Although its fresh finish might make you think it lacks moisture, it actually contains hyaluronic acid, making it incredibly hydrating! Pro 4: The packaging is fantastic. I appreciate the eco-friendly packaging and container. The ampoule dropper is slightly angled, which prevents accidental spills on your lap - a common issue with straight droppers when you're in a rush.
ConsWhile it's effective, the lightweight texture might be too light for those with very dry skin. Other than that, I can't think of any significant drawbacks!
TipI'm definitely repurchasing this product due to its effectiveness. If you have combination skin and have been hesitant about using a highly concentrated barrier care ampoule for fear of it being too heavy, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

The consistency is just right - not too thin or too thick, so it absorbs well into the skin without feeling heavy. (It has a nice, moderate viscosity) Above all, it absorbs cleanly and refreshingly without any stickiness, making it fine to layer cream on top. Scent I'm sensitive to fragrances due to my keen sense of smell, but this is so lightly scented it's almost unscented. It can be used without strong likes or dislikes. Staying Power I use this ampoule after toner, morning and night after cleansing. It's great because there's no pilling or foundation separation. Even though I have dry skin, it keeps my skin from feeling dehydrated and helps my makeup last longer. Ingredients I'm really satisfied with this gentle ampoule because the ingredients are so good. As one of the Hwahae Testers, I used it for about 10 days and even my sensitive skin didn't develop any blemishes!
ConsUsing it morning and night, I'm concerned the amount might not be enough. In my case, since I apply it down to my neck, I wish the volume was just a bit larger.
TipUsing it cool seems to help soothe the skin.

Cons1.보습력은 아쉬움 가볍고 산뜻한 제형이다 보니, 건성 피부이신 분들은 단독 사용으로는 건조하게 느낄 수 있어요. 겨울철이나 건조한 환경에서는 크림이나 보습 앰플이 추가로 필요할 듯해요. 저는 지성이라 여름철 전용 앰플로는 최적이라 정착할 의향까진 있습니다. 2.향이 호불호 갈릴 수 있음 인공향료는 없지만 약간의 발효 화장품 특유의 향이 있어서 민감한 분들에겐 거슬릴 수도 있어요. 저는 금방 날아가서 괜찮았어요. 싫어하는 향도 아니었구요! 3.효과는 다소 점진적임 하루 이틀에 드라마틱한 변화가 나타나는 제품은 아니고, 일주일 이상 꾸준히 써야 효과가 보이는 스타일이에요. 즉각적인 효과를 기대하신다면 조금 실망할 수도 있어요. 저는 별다른 트러블이 있어서 사용하기 보다는 정착할 앰플을 찾던 중이라 만족했습니다!
Tip트러블 진정 앰플로는 꽤 만족스럽고 재구매 의사 있어요. 피부가 예민하거나 트러블이 잦은 분들, 특히 여름철 부담 없는 앰플 찾는 분들에게 추천합니다. 다만 건성 피부나 빠른 효과를 기대하는 분들에겐 약간 아쉬울 수도 있어요. 화장품은 토너 앰플 로션 크림 선크림 순으로 바르고 있고 가장 중요하게 생각하는 화장품 팁은 모든 제품 다 한 번 바르고 흡수될 때까지 기다린 후에 다음 순서를 바르는게 효과는 무조건 좋다는 점입니다.

But when I applied it to my face, it felt incredibly light and refreshing. I think I could use this 3-4 times a week, even in summer, though maybe not daily. ▷ Amount At 50ml, it's very generous, and the price is reasonable too! ▷ Effectiveness I applied it about 3 times a week in the evenings, every other day. I have oily skin, so I generally avoid products with a rich feel, but this one was light enough to use comfortably even now. I've been worried about my damaged skin barrier and was considering a barrier serum, but this product seems to work well for those of us with oily skin overall!
Cons▷ So far, I haven't found anything inconvenient or disappointing about this product!
TipI think it would be great to use this as part of your night care routine about 3 times a week, every other day. It might be a bit much to use daily!

It absorbs well with a refreshing feel and isn't sticky at all~ It's truly the best for everyday use!
ConsI wish it came in a larger size. Using it generously, I feel like it runs out too quickly. For real!

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.ProsTexture and Application: The lightweight formula absorbs incredibly fast, leaving a fresh, non-sticky finish. It feels like it's instantly replenishing deep hydration, making it suitable even for those with dry skin to use without worry. Effectiveness: To be honest, I didn't have an "Oh wow, this is amazing!" moment from day one. However, after using it consistently for about a week, I noticed my skin texture became noticeably smoother and firmer. What's particularly great is that it works well even when my skin is super sensitive, without causing any irritation.
Cons- Those with extremely dry skin might find it insufficient on its own. A cream is a must! - While not the absolute best in terms of value for money, it lasts quite a while, so it's actually less of a financial burden than you might expect.
TipThe serum's quick absorption and non-greasy finish make it an excellent choice for layering in your skincare routine. Its gentle formulation is perfect for those with sensitive skin looking to improve their complexion and boost hydration without risking irritation. For those with combination dehydrated skin, this could be a game-changer in balancing oil and moisture levels.

However, after receiving this product through The Hwahae Testers and doing some research, I learned that fermented ingredients can actually be beneficial for strengthening the skin barrier and promoting skin regeneration! So, I tried it with a mix of worry and anticipation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it provided good hydration and suited my skin well. The texture is refreshingly pleasant! At first, I thought it might be a bit sticky, but it's more like a slightly viscous water-based serum. With summer approaching, I was worried about using anything too rich, so this was actually a welcome surprise. However, it might not be my go-to during drier seasons. It's gentle and doesn't irritate blemishes! I often experience periodic redness on my face, and this product is great for those times when I need something that won't aggravate my skin. The ingredients list on Hwahae looks good too. While it may not produce dramatic results, it does seem to help calm my skin. The packaging is incredibly impressive! I don't usually pay much attention to packaging or containers, but everything from the tape-free shipping box to the inner packaging shows a lot of thoughtful consideration, which I really appreciated.
ConsBecause the serum is quite thin, I ended up applying too much, which led to some potential breakouts. I'd recommend applying just a thin layer, and if your skin feels dry, follow up with another cream or serum rather than overusing this product.
TipI prefer to use this in my evening routine! It's a bit too light to use alone in the morning, and layering it with other serums can make my skin feel greasy. At night, I apply it after toner and before my retinol cream. Its gentle formula makes it a perfect companion to retinol products!
