When I use it, it's incredibly good! A holy grail! I didn't realize, but when I stopped using it, my skin texture changed a bit. That subtle feeling when your skin is plump... Although it's a water-based formula and you might think it won't be hydrating, after application, it's surprisingly moisturizing.
ConsSince it's a water-based formula, sometimes I struggle with controlling the amount. I've heard that people who don't suit galactomyces might experience blemishes.
TipIf you apply it generously at night after evening out your skin texture with toner, it seems to improve your complexion by morning.

So, I decided to try this popular Isol product. I'm pleased that a small amount goes a long way in covering the entire face, and it's gentle on the skin.
ConsThe finish has a slightly oily feel, which might not be ideal for those with combination dehydrated skin during the summer months.

I have another galactomyces serum that does the same thing, so I think it might be a characteristic of the ingredient. As someone with oily skin, I was a bit worried this residue might cause blemishes, which is why I deducted one star. However, even though there's a slight oily feeling, it doesn't feel heavy or make my skin itch. It's just a tad bit uncomfortable!
Cons흡수시켜주면 얼굴 표면이랑 손바닥에 기름막 같은게 남아요. 제가 가지고 있는 다른 갈락토미세스 앰플도 똑같이 흡수 후 기름막 같은게 남는거 보니 성분 특징이 그런거같은데 지성으로써 이 유분때문에 여드름이 날까봐 좀 걱정했네요ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그래서 별 하나 뺏어요. 근데 기름막이 남는다고 해서 답답하다거나 피부가 간질거리는 느낌은 없었습니다. 조금 찝찝할뿐!

As someone with oily skin, achieving a smooth complexion isn't easy, but after applying this product, I noticed an immediate improvement in my skin texture within just a day. The formula feels like a watery toner, but upon application, it instantly hydrates the skin. It absorbs well, yet leaves a subtle, firming sensation on the skin's surface. I didn't even need to apply an emulsion or cream right away, as my skin didn't feel tight for quite some time. I'm so impressed that I'll likely continue using Galactomyces products consistently.
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about the product's effectiveness. The only downside is the small size. Excluding the cap, the actual product is about the size of an index finger. While this size is convenient for use, it feels a bit wasteful in terms of packaging. I wish they offered refills or larger sizes.
TipApplying multiple layers may cause irritation, so one or two layers should be sufficient.

I've tried to find cheaper alternatives with more product, but I always come back to this. After just a few days of use, I notice a significant difference in my skin texture.
ConsNothing negative to say. I just hope they never discontinue this product.

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.ProsHello, this is a review from The Hwahae Testers. First, I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. I'm prone to whiteheads and blackheads. Now, let me share the positive aspects. 1. Improved skin texture: When applying it to my skin, I could feel the texture improving. Being more liquid than thick, it seemed to absorb better. The texture improvement is probably its best feature. 2. Hydration: It's essentially hydration in a bottle. I deducted one star due to a slightly bitter scent, which might be due to its high moisture content. 3. Skin soothing: The day after using this, my skin feels noticeably calmer and softer.
Cons1. Scent: The fragrance is really not great. There's a strong bitter smell, which is probably its biggest drawback. Other than that, I don't have many complaints.
TipOverall, it's a clean product, so if you don't mind the smell, I'd recommend it!

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've tried several products available in the market, but the difference with this one is truly remarkable! From its texture to how it absorbs and addresses deep dryness, it's definitely in a league of its own. I first used a regular toner with a cotton pad to refine my skin texture, then applied this product by patting it into my skin. It feels so rich yet the hydration is incredible! One application is sufficient, but I was curious about pilling or stickiness, so I applied a second layer. To my delight, there was no pilling or stickiness - just more moisture, a beautiful glow, and I absolutely love it!
ConsIf I had to pick something to improve, I'd say the price isn't exactly budget-friendly.
TipIt's not exactly a pro tip, but after applying the product to your palms and letting it absorb, try warming it up by rubbing your hands together, then gently press it onto your face. It works even better this way!

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.Pros12/17 Update: I'm revising my review from 4 stars to 5 stars after about a week of use. I continued using it for another week since no blemishes appeared, and as I mentioned in my initial review, there's a definite improvement in my complexion. Applying a generous amount also provides decent hydration and seems to improve skin texture. My boyfriend even asked what I've been doing differently because my skin looks better, and the only change has been consistently using this product. Hence, I'm adding this update. Original review: Here's my feedback after using the product for about 2 weeks as part of the Hwahae Testers program (thank you for selecting me!). First, my skin type is combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes if I don't exfoliate daily. Usage routine: Make P:rem cleanser + Isoi ampoule, or Make P:rem cleanser + Isoi ampoule + Make P:rem moisturizer (I've been using the Make P:rem cleanser and cream regularly. They're very gentle and provide basic care without causing any irritation, so I didn't think they'd interfere with testing this product.) The Isoi Origin Galactomyces Power Ampoule has such a watery consistency that I thought it was a toner until I properly read the product name! It doesn't feel like a typical high-nutrition, high-moisture ampoule. It feels more like a light, easily applicable product. Pro 1: I appreciate the small bottle size. It's less of a financial burden to buy in smaller quantities, and it ensures I'm using a fresher product. Pro 2: With continued use, I noticed my complexion becoming slightly brighter.
ConsCon 1: I used to have some bumpy texture under my skin (not inflamed, just very early stage blemishes), which I had improved significantly with exfoliation and hydration. My skin had been smooth for over a year, but after using this, I noticed some bumps returning. I wondered if fermented skincare doesn't suit me or if it was just my body's natural cycle. After taking a break for a few days, the bumps disappeared. When I started using it again for the review, I applied a larger amount on its own, and it seems to prevent any new bumps from forming. I'll need to use it longer to determine if it truly suits my skin. Con 2: The hydration power is weak. Con 3: It stings if it gets into your eyes.
TipI found it more effective to apply a larger amount at once rather than layering multiple thin applications. (I use about the amount shown on my hand in the photo.)

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.ProsFirst off, the texture was thinner than I expected, with just a slight viscosity! I applied for The Hwahae Testers with this product because my face has been dry lately, and I can definitely say that using it has reduced the dryness! However, my face has been so parched recently that it hasn't completely solved the issue. While there's a hint of richness, it's not overwhelming. I also appreciated that it's almost fragrance-free! After using it for just under two weeks, I haven't experienced any blemishes, and my skin texture feels softer! It's also reasonably priced, so if you don't have extremely dry skin, I think it would be a comfortable and easy-to-use product.
ConsIf you have very dry skin, this product alone might not be sufficient. Also, it could potentially feel a bit heavy during the summer months!
TipFor best results, I recommend applying the ampoule in two or three layers after your toner, patting it in gently each time to help it absorb well!

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: First off, although it's an ampoule, it has a toner-like consistency. Richness & Hydration: When applied, you feel more hydration than richness. It's a product that feels moisturizing with just one application. If I'm feeling particularly dry, I'll apply it twice. Those with oily skin might find it a bit rich. Size: Sometimes with larger sizes, you end up using them for so long it feels a bit unsanitary, but this one seems just right for individual use. Effects: While I've noticed my skin texture becoming smoother, I'll need to use it longer to be certain if it's solely due to this product. I have sensitive skin, but I've been using it without any blemishes.
ConsThe disappointing aspect is that I expected an ampoule consistency since it's labeled as an ampoule, but it has more of a toner texture, which is a bit disappointing.
TipAfter using an exfoliating toner and applying the galactomyces once or twice more, followed by a cream before bed, my skin feels moisturized without any deep dryness.
