Absorbs well When first applied, it has a unique feeling - incredibly rich and moisturizing. It's like wrapping your face in a hydration barrier. ☞ I'll mention this aspect in the drawbacks as well. 2. Hydrating power It definitely has a rich feel, so the immediate hydration is quite good. 3. Solves deep dryness It certainly addresses the issue of deep dryness.
Cons1. Moisture retention The sensation of having a hydration barrier doesn't last long. It absorbs into the skin too quickly. While it solves deep dryness (I personally prefer products that leave a bit of richness), I felt the surface of my skin quickly became dry again. 2. Absorption is too fast. This aspect might be hit or miss depending on the individual, but for me, it's a miss. It absorbs way too quickly... Having dry skin, I prefer when some richness remains on the skin's surface, but I was surprised at how quickly the outer layer of skin dried out.
TipThose with dry skin should definitely finish with a hydrating moisturizer.

Light and refreshing. Instantly gives a firming sensation. A serum that absorbs well without feeling heavy. Especially nice for light application in summer.
ConsToo expensive for the amount you get. You'll use it up quickly after just a few pumps, making you want to find alternatives. But during sales, you end up buying it again.

Using three pumps kept my skin comfortable and hydrated all day. I have combination-dry skin. It's been a fantastic product for me this summer. The serum feels slightly cool and refreshing. I just noticed it also has UV protection and anti-wrinkle ingredients - that makes me even happier! While it feels a bit thick when pumping, it spreads easily. Since it's quite hydrating, gently patting it in with your fingertips helps it absorb well.
ConsThere's a strong alcohol smell, and sure enough, alcohol is the third most abundant ingredient. Ha! The ingredient list is a bit disappointing overall. Amore Pacific products always seem to fall slightly short in terms of ingredients. That's why I'm deducting one star.
TipAs mentioned above, since it's quite hydrating when applied, make sure to pat it in with your fingertips for better absorption. It's a perfect serum for summer use. For other seasons, you might want to pair it with a cream or oil-based product.

Cons✗ Drawbacks - Disappoints by drying quickly. Despite its bouncy texture, it feels tight if not immediately followed by emulsion. The scent is said to be divisive, but those familiar with AmorePacific products will find it recognizable. Later discovered it contains alcohol, explaining the quick-drying effect. While I bought it at a discounted package price, IOPE's regular prices are quite steep for the amount, making it a hesitant purchase without a sale. Also, one or two pumps are not enough... It's used up too quickly, which is unfortunate.
TipAfter toner (once skin has absorbed some from a toner-soaked cotton pad), using serum feels less drying. Apply a hydrating emulsion right away. (As I have dehydrated skin, I quickly move to the next step after patting for absorption.) You need to complete up to the emulsion step to feel truly moisturized.

Even in the morning, I can visibly see that my skin looks firmer and maintains that elasticity.
ConsIt's a bit heavy for morning use. There's a tendency for makeup to pill, and it takes some time to fully absorb, so it's more suitable for evenings when you want to give your skin extra care, rather than busy mornings. I experienced some tingling sensation after a few days of use, but it subsided after about a week. I highly recommend testing a sample on your face before purchasing.

While it seems like a hydrating formula, it has a slightly bouncy texture. Mixing it with vitamin ampoules or oils works wonderfully.
ConsIt was great at first, but the more I used it, the more I experienced dehydration again. It's good to apply before makeup though.

It absorbs well and doesn't feel slippery on the skin!
ConsI have combination skin, and I've noticed some red blemishes that I didn't have before! I'm still using it thinking it might be an initial reaction, but I'm keeping an eye on it.

I loved how it made my skin feel firm and supple!
ConsWhile the issue might have been with the product I applied on top, I noticed that the inner firmness and hydration didn't last as long as I'd hoped. It's probably more noticeable in winter, but I'm still satisfied overall.
TipThis seems like it could be helpful for combating deep dryness during the winter months.

First off, I love that it's a pump-type bottle. The texture is a slightly thick gel, but it applies smoothly. It absorbs quite quickly when you pat it in, and once it's fully absorbed, your skin feels nice and firm. I'm happy because my makeup seems to adhere better when I use this as a base.
ConsThe price point might be a bit steep for some (in the $40 range). Also, the finish is slightly sticky, which some people might not enjoy.

The application feels soft and pleasant. I bought it during a sale and even used up the sample. Back then, I used it without hesitation as I wasn't aware of the ingredients.
ConsAfter absorption and as time passes, it always makes my skin itchy. Sebum often surfaces. I used it without realizing it contained alcohol.
