At first, it's incredibly rich, making you wonder what's going on, but then it absorbs well into the skin. Because of this, it might be a bit much for summer, but I think it would be really helpful in the dead of winter. From a skincare perspective, considering the number of ampoules you get, it's not expensive, so it's worth buying. It's also hygienic.
ConsIt feels like it creates an artificial barrier, covering all my pores. When I wear a mask on top of this, it gets so humid that I break out in tiny blemishes. It seems especially unsuitable for combination dehydrated skin, so I won't be buying it again. I only bought one just in case, but if I had bought more, I would have ended up throwing them away.
TipI'm not sure, but maybe it could be helpful if used as a hair oil on the ends of your hair? Just to avoid wasting it...

I received the product on March 25th and used it for about a week from March 28th to April 2nd before falling ill. After recovering, I've used it twice more up until now. 1. Application: Each small capsule contains a transparent essence. You twist off the top to dispense the product. The amount is perfect for a single use. At first, I was worried about its oily texture, thinking 'Oh no, this won't work for my oily skin!' It felt quite slippery. However, once applied, it had a silky feel that spread easily across the face, leaving a smooth sensation. Surprisingly, it wasn't sticky like an oil. After absorption, touching my face felt like touching oil blotting paper with powder - a soft, matte feeling. It was an unusual texture that took some getting used to. I didn't notice any excess shine. I used it in the serum step of my evening routine, after cleansing and using a toner, followed by a moisturizer. While twisting off the capsule top was a bit inconvenient, I appreciated that each capsule contained just the right amount for one application. 2. Scent: It had a very strong orange fragrance, almost like freshly squeezed oranges. While it wasn't my favorite scent, I wondered if they chose such an intense fragrance to emphasize the vitamin content.
Cons1. Having to twist off the top of each capsule is quite bothersome. 2. After using the ampoule, I started developing blemishes. At first, I thought it might be due to my weakened condition from the cold. However, even after I felt better and used it for two more days, the blemishes continued to appear. I noticed inflammatory acne on my cheeks and chin. I wonder if the oily texture might have contributed to this issue.
TipI felt this ampoule alone wasn't quite enough, so I followed it with a serum and then applied a generous amount of moisturizer. The serum I used was the Beplain Bamboo Forest Serum, and for moisturizer, I used the NOT4U Deep Water Moisture Cream.

The orange scent is pleasant and not off-putting at all. While most single-use products tend to be pricey, these are reasonably priced, making them a great value.
ConsThough the fragrance is nice, I think there might be some ingredients that don't agree with my skin. My face was already quite red from frequent mask-wearing due to COVID, but after using this, my blemishes flared up even more. It feels too rich for my skin type, which didn't work well for me.

The scent is stronger than typical scented cosmetics, offering a pleasant and refreshing aroma. Texture: It's rich in feel. When applying to the skin, it has a texture similar to face oil, spreading smoothly. Despite being rich, it doesn't make your skin look greasy; instead, it gives a natural skin-like appearance. Interestingly, while it looks different, it feels delightfully silky when touching the skin. The best part is that it's not sticky at all. It's just silky smooth without any stickiness, and as time passes, even the silkiness fades, leaving only my soft, supple skin behind.
ConsAfter using it for about 4 days, possibly due to its rich nature, I noticed some blemishes appearing. With my combination dehydrated skin (oily T-zone and dry cheeks), I got a small blemish on my cheek, but a larger one appeared on my chin. If you have oily skin, I recommend doing a patch test before fully incorporating it into your routine.
TipWhen applied before makeup, it helps the makeup adhere better, leaving a more matte finish, and it also smooths out the skin texture, making it look beautiful.

The next day, I noticed a subtle improvement in my complexion - something only I could perceive, but it definitely felt more even.
Cons* The Hwahae Testers Review * Perhaps due to its vitamin-enriched formula, when I applied this product on days my super sensitive skin was acting up, I developed small bumps. As a result, I had to discontinue use.
TipWhen opening the product, twisting the cap makes it easier to open.

The application was smooth without being too slippery, and it seemed to absorb well. Just seconds after applying, it felt like it had vanished into my skin. The scent was that distinctive vitamin C aroma - a bit sweet and tangy - which I actually found quite pleasant. I was also impressed by the neat packaging when it arrived, and as you can see in the attached photo, each ampoule contains just the right amount for one use. This made it super convenient to apply without worrying about measuring out the correct quantity.
ConsThe disappointing aspect I experienced while using this product was that my blemishes, which had been almost gone, started to resurface. I incorporated this serum into my usual skincare routine (toner, serum, emulsion/cream, sunscreen), replacing my regular serum. However, after just one day, I noticed tiny bumps appearing on my face. I used it for about 4 days, from March 28th to 31st, and my face broke out terribly. Regrettably, I have a bad habit of squeezing my pimples when they appear. So when I did, the ampoule that was meant to reduce scars actually seemed to cause more scarring. Continuous squeezing led to a compromised skin barrier, and my skin felt constantly irritated. I'm not entirely sure what the issue was, but as someone with acne-prone oily skin, I felt like this product left a slightly oily residue, which might have contributed to the breakouts. The first photo I've attached shows my skin before use, and the second shows it after. The situation got so bad that I had to stop using it and go back to my original products, which quickly calmed down the angry red pimples and small bumps.
TipI'd strongly recommend checking if this product suits your skin type before using it. For instance, you might want to compare its ingredients with those in your regular products. I didn't do this, and unfortunately ended up with a lot of blemishes, which wasn't a pleasant experience at all.

I'm thrilled they've finally made their way to our country! It's so exciting. As a nail technician, I spend all day under bright lights and in a dusty environment. Although we're wearing masks due to COVID now, I've always worn one for work. This has led to blemishes under my eyes, dryness from the lights, and dark spots from constant exposure - my skin was losing its vitality. Knowing Vitamin C products are beneficial for these issues, this ampoule seems perfect for me. When I first applied it, there was a refreshing orange scent. I expected it to feel oily, but surprisingly, it didn't at all. The texture is lighter than a typical serum or ampoule - more like a spot treatment cream. It seems ideal for summer use. While I'll need to use it consistently to see long-term results, my first impression is positive. It's not heavy, making it easy to layer with other products without feeling burdensome.
ConsWhile it's great that it absorbs quickly leaving no residue, I found this aspect somewhat disappointing. It left my skin feeling a bit dry. For me, using this alone as a serum isn't quite enough hydration. *After using it for a week, I noticed small bumps appearing on my skin. It seems some ingredients might be slightly irritating.
TipAlthough it's marketed as a serum, I applied an additional water-based ampoule serum on top. If you dislike feeling dry, I'd recommend layering another serum over this one for added hydration.
