I'm definitely considering repurchasing.
ConsWhen used alone, it causes deep dryness (for combination skin). The scent might be polarizing - personally, I prefer this authentic cactus smell over a generic cosmetic fragrance!

After the third day, there was no more tingling sensation! I'm extremely satisfied! When doing the 3-ampoule method, the last application feels a bit tacky? So depending on my skin condition each day, I'm using it like this: 1. Cactus ampoule - 2. Soothing/Brightening/Blemish ampoule (based on that day's condition) - 3. Cactus ampoule Or 1. Cactus ampoule - 2. Cactus ampoule - 3. Mix the day's specific ampoule with the emulsion <Purchased with my own money> I have atopic dermatitis, so I often feel a tingling sensation with many products. Although it was said to be gentle, it still stung for me. However, I definitely feel it's helping my skin texture!! I was amazed to see how well my makeup went on the next day after using it for just one night!! The texture is unique - after it absorbs, it feels moisturized but the outer layer of skin feels a bit tight?? But the inside feels hydrated! So during the 3-ampoule method, the surface felt a bit tight, but I finished with a hydrating emulsion and sleeping pack! I feel like this ampoule was made solely for strengthening the skin barrier and providing deep hydration! When you apply it, it moisturizes from within, and the next day your skin looks smoother!!! So I'm also using other lines of hydrating creams etc. to nourish the outer layer of skin!! When doing the 3-ampoule method, you might think 'Huh? It feels a bit oily?' but I usually break out immediately if something's too rich, and so far nothing has appeared and there's no sign of blemishes!! I want to keep using it consistently! The scent is a plus for me, but it could be a drawback for others!
ConsAs I mentioned above, the scent might be hit or miss. Some say it smells like cactus, but to me it's like the pure earthy scent you get when you enter a greenhouse? A scent of soil rich with moisture?? I tend to like herbal scents in cosmetics (it feels natural), so it wasn't too unpleasant for me, but even for someone like me who enjoys herbal scents, it wasn't particularly luxurious. You know, even with herbal or earthy scents, there's a certain... you'll understand! The fragrance of your evening skincare routine is like aromatherapy when you're lying in bed, so the more luxurious it feels (based on personal preference!), the more satisfying it is!! This wasn't quite at that level of pleasant fragrance. And it's expensive... Yes, it's pricey.. I want to keep using it but I can't use it as freely as I'd like because of the cost. I have to use it sparingly.. But if you apply other cosmetics, this scent disappears quickly! You only notice it when applying!
TipIf you have severe dryness and want surface hydration, mix a little of this with your emulsion and it becomes super sticky!! It's amazing! Absolutely not for use before morning makeup! Only use it at night, like a hydrating mask! You should sleep with a towel on your pillow! Or before bed, wipe it off slightly with a toner-soaked cotton pad and finish with a moisturizer before sleeping!
