Despite its light consistency, it provides ample hydration. It's a water essence perfect for use all year round.
ConsThere's nothing to complain about. It doesn't cause any blemishes and the overall experience is quite good.

I mix it with my cream when applying.
ConsIt comes out a bit watery. That's the only downside I can think of. I do seem to get occasional blemishes.

It absorbs quickly into the skin, effectively addressing deep dryness!
ConsThose with oily skin might find it leaves a bit of richness on their face!

Although it's an ampoule, it feels more like a nutrient-rich toner. I find it works great when used as a toner! It seems to brighten my complexion slightly.
ConsSince it feels like a toner, I might end up using it a bit too generously. It's a shame the bottle isn't larger.

Skincare products with fermented ingredients generally work well for me. Texture: It has a water-like consistency, which seems great for smoothing out skin texture. Although it's an ampoule, it has a toner-like texture that's not sticky at all! Application: It's more hydrating than I expected. Despite its water-like texture, it provides both hydration and a rich feel. It might be better suited for transitional seasons rather than mid-summer. As I have dry skin, I found it slightly insufficient on its own, so I layered a cream on top! Ingredients: The ingredients are gentle and non-irritating. While it may not suit those who don't respond well to fermented ingredients, it's a great product if ferments work for you.
ConsTexture: Personally, I prefer essences and ampoules with a thicker consistency rather than watery formulas, so this was a bit disappointing for me. However, those who enjoy toner-like textures might appreciate it. Scent: As I have sensitive skin, I prefer fragrance-free products, but this one does have a scent. That was a bit disappointing! Quantity: When I first tried it, I felt the amount was a bit small. Although it's an ampoule, its watery texture means it might run out quickly. I think more people will use it as an exfoliating toner, but the quantity is a bit lacking for that purpose!
TipIt's great for smoothing skin texture! I think it would work well when used as a first essence.

Fragrance-free While it's not completely scentless, it's fair to say it's fragrance-free. I appreciated that it doesn't seem to have any artificial fragrances added. 2. Texture I was worried it might be thick since it's an ampoule, but it's no different from a toner. The instructions even say to apply it right after cleansing or after toner. It's like a watery toner with absolutely no stickiness. 3. Price This is my first time trying an Isoi product, and after checking the price, I'd say it's quite reasonable! Great value for money! 4. Complexion improvement I usually break out before my period, and I received this product around the start of my cycle. As we all know, during that time, blemishes appear no matter how careful we are. I thought I wouldn't be able to give an accurate review, but after my period, I noticed the remaining blemish marks (red areas, not scars, just the redness left after a blemish heals) seemed to fade back to my normal skin tone faster than usual.
ConsHydration After applying this product, I felt like it left a slightly oily film, so I didn't apply cream after using the toner and ampoule. However, my combination dehydrated skin felt deep dryness. Unless you have very oily skin, I think you'll definitely need to follow up with a moisturizer.

Even though I have very sensitive eyes, this product didn't cause any irritation at all. Unlike other brands' serums that leave a sticky finish, which I was hesitant to use, this ISOI serum can be applied as lightly as water, absorbs well, and doesn't leave any sticky residue, which I love. It's a versatile product suitable for use in all seasons.
ConsI applied the serum right after cleansing, and I could feel some richness, so opinions might be divided on the finish. People with oily skin might particularly dislike it. My usual skincare routine after cleansing is just emulsion-cream-sunscreen. I tried applying the serum right after cleansing because it's supposed to be good for deep dryness, but I actually developed dryness I didn't have before, so I had to apply more cream after lunch. The frown lines that had smoothed out before started to deepen after using this serum... It seems difficult to expect results in such a short period.
TipAfter cleansing, instead of toner, apply the ISOI serum containing Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate to nourish and hydrate your skin. It might be good to apply your usual skincare products after the serum has been absorbed. While toners focus mainly on hydration, this ISOI serum contains both hydration and nourishment, which could improve your skin texture. Available at Olive Young.

Review based on morning and evening use for one week. 💭Watery Toner-like Texture The water-like consistency is incredibly lightweight, resulting in a non-sticky finish that I love. It's comfortable to apply right after cleansing, and doesn't interfere with subsequent skincare steps like toner, emulsion, and cream. 💭Complexion Improvement As someone with sensitive skin, I rarely use vitamin-rich or other functional skincare. That's why I was amazed to see such noticeable improvement in pigmentation after using this galactomyces product. My skin tone looks brighter! 💭Reduces Oil, Boosts Hydration It's super effective at providing moisture without leaving any greasy residue. Highly recommended for combination dehydrated skin types! (Though you'll still need your toner and emulsion, as this product focuses on hydration without adding oil) 💭Suitable for Sensitive Skin I often break out in milia even with products labeled as gentle, but this didn't cause any blemishes. I'm impressed! 💭Budget-friendly This is probably the most affordable galactomyces ferment product out there. The reasonable price makes it great for ferment newbies, while those familiar with such products will likely be satisfied too
Cons💭Ampoule with Limited Moisturizing Power The watery texture absorbs quickly, feeling more like applying water than providing deep hydration! That's why I follow up with toner, emulsion, and cream for extra moisture. Besides this, I can't find any other downsides to the product
