The package design is also super clean and fresh-looking, with a calming blue color :) After using the product, I found it to be incredibly gentle, and it instantly plumped up my skin with moisture!!!! It was pure hydration itself〰️🤍 The scent is a pleasant, slightly cooling one, but it fades quickly, leaving it almost fragrance-free. While I can't confirm it, I was amazed to hear that it even has blue light blocking capabilities! I'd highly recommend this to those who love gentle products and want a moisturizing formula without any oily residue ˃̵͈̑ᴗ˂̵͈̑
ConsThere don't seem to be any real downsides. If I had to nitpick, the only thing would be that the price isn't exactly budget-friendly.
TipRather than just applying it, I found that gently patting it in helps the skin become more plump and healthy :)

After using it, I can definitely feel that my skin has become more supple and healthy-looking. It gives me a subtle glow, making it my absolute favorite product.
ConsThere's really nothing disappointing about this ampoule. I'm completely satisfied with it.
TipMixing the ampoule with a cream creates the perfect glowing skin.

This product is highly concentrated, so a small amount left my face feeling nicely hydrated! And it contains adenosine, which helps improve wrinkles?! I could really feel my wrinkles smoothing out. I also loved the subtle glow it gave my face.
ConsAs a student, the price is a bit of a concern for me. However, the website offers a discount for new members, so I can get it at a more affordable price that way!!!
TipUsing the Aqua de Lucir Hydro Toner followed by the ampoule and cream from the same line really makes my skin feel hydrated and soothed. It's a great combination!

It starts out a bit watery, but then becomes more dense and bouncy in texture. It absorbs quickly, so I didn't have to massage it in too much for it to sink in.
ConsPersonally, as someone with dry skin, I prefer a slightly more moisturizing, slightly tacky texture. But if you don't like any tackiness at all, you'll want to be cautious with this product.
TipUsing a dense skin lotion, followed by this serum, and then finishing with a lightweight cream could work well - the earlier steps would provide moisture, while the final cream would leave a clean, fresh finish.

The application was incredibly smooth, and when I patted it in to absorb, there was no sticky feeling whatsoever.
ConsYou need to pat it in thoroughly to absorb it completely for a clean, fresh feeling.

It's highly concentrated, so a small amount can cover my entire face. It absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated all the way through. I usually need to use a cream after the ampoule because the ampoule alone can leave my skin feeling a bit tight, but with this, I don't feel any tightness at all - the moisture is incredibly abundant. They say it has 4-layer hydration, and the moisturizing effect is truly amazing. It's not sticky or greasy at all, so it feels refreshing to apply without any burden. In the height of summer, I think the ampoule alone might be enough without needing a cream.
ConsSince it's an ampoule, the amount per bottle is a bit on the smaller side, so I have to use it sparingly. I tend to use a bit more product than most people.

It's a dropper type, which I like. It's not a sticky type, but a flowing formula. Two drops are enough. When you spread it gently, your face immediately feels plump and moisturized.
ConsI was disappointed that the amount seemed small, but it's highly concentrated, so two drops are enough, so when I look at it again, the cost-effectiveness is good.
TipAfter using the toner from this product line, just apply two drops by tapping it on and gently spreading it. You don't need to pat it in.

A little goes a long way, and it doesn't feel sticky after application!
ConsThe dropper doesn't suck up the product well, but it's not too inconvenient to use. Just press it a couple more times and you're good to go!!
