I was hesitant at first due to warnings about potential blemishes, but fortunately, I didn't experience any. After application, my skin definitely feels firmer, and the next day, I notice less deep dryness.
ConsThe only downside is the strong, distinctive cosmetic scent. Other than that, I have no complaints.
TipIt's the most expensive ampoule I own, so I tend to apply it before using a modeling mask.

It enhances elasticity, hydration, and has a slight 'chilling' effect - like it lowers skin temperature. My pores seem tighter, and my previously uneven skin texture becomes smoother. Surprisingly, it even reduces redness, which I hadn't expected. I'm particularly satisfied because the texture improvement is something I've struggled to achieve with other products and methods. It's definitely effective.
ConsThe original brown bottle, before it was upgraded to 'Advanced', seemed to have a slightly thinner and more hydrating formula. It doesn't give that intense moisturizing feeling that fills in skin texture like it used to. In fact, when applying this version, I feel a slight deep dryness. The scent is unpleasant, reminiscent of a factory or caffeine smell. It feels like just a momentary caffeine effect. Nowadays, there are gentler products that improve skin over a longer period and provide more hydration. The reign of the brown bottle might be over. In terms of elasticity and hydration, there are many better options out there.

I have oily skin that produces a lot of sebum, but when I apply it generously at night before bed, I wake up with skin that feels wonderfully firm and supple.
ConsThe price is a major issue. For those sensitive to scents, the fragrance isn't particularly pleasant. It has a somewhat musty smell, almost like a medicinal odor.

It's incredibly hydrating and absorbs well like no other. Just one application leaves my skin feeling firm and supple. Even though it's pricey, I'm definitely considering repurchasing it several times.
ConsThe scent is slightly reminiscent of alcohol or herbal medicine, which was a bit off-putting at first. However, I got used to it as I continued using the product.

Imbalanced skin: By afternoon, my nose would get very oily, requiring constant blotting. 2. Severe dehydration: Even generous application of various products couldn't resolve the issue. 3. Increased wrinkles due to extreme dryness. 4. Excessive dead skin cells and sebum production. --- After use --- 1. Significant reduction in oiliness on my nose. While not 100% gone, the improvement is very satisfying. I believe my skin's oil and moisture balance is improving. 2. After toning, even without other products, the deep dryness disappeared, which was very satisfying. I think using this with other products could create even more synergy. 3. I've used the product for about 10 days, which is too short to expect wrinkle reduction. However, my complexion has slightly improved. I'll update on the results after finishing the bottle. 4. As the oil and moisture balance improves and oiliness decreases, sebum production has slightly reduced. While I'm satisfied with the decrease in surface oil, the reduction in deep-seated sebum isn't as dramatic. However, it's too early to make a definitive judgment. Given the noticeable decrease in oiliness, I expect the deep-seated sebum to reduce further with continued use. *** Overall Review *** I've tried various high-end products, including those used in Cheongdam-dong skincare clinics, due to my deteriorating skin condition. However, none of them showed results as quickly as this product. Although the price is a bit steep for generous daily application, I'm extremely satisfied just with the improvement in my skin's oil and moisture balance, as I don't expect cosmetics alone to restore baby-like skin. I'm considering purchasing this product after trying it through The Hwahae Testers program. I actually applied for the event on a whim, but I had been eyeing this product and really wanted to try it. For me, it turned out to be exactly what I hoped for!
ConsI tend to avoid chemical ingredients and artificial fragrances. When I first used it, there was a petrochemical or oily scent that I personally disliked. However, the scent doesn't linger, and after using it for a few days, I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me much anymore.
TipThe formula has a thin consistency that spreads easily on the skin and absorbs well without stickiness. However, to maintain that hydrated feeling, I lightly pat a face oil on top after it absorbs, which helps the hydration last longer.

It's become my nightly ritual, never forgetting to apply it before bed.
ConsThe scent?! There's an artificial fragrance that's hard to describe.

It really stands out from other cosmetics.
ConsThe scent is a bit mature and there's a slightly odd rubber-like smell, which was strange.
TipTap it on gently before bed!

Now that I'm middle-aged, I can definitely see how it brightens my complexion and keeps my skin hydrated.
ConsWell... the scent isn't great. It's not like a typical cosmetic fragrance, more like medicine? Or even a strong ointment smell? But since it works so well, I can tolerate that much.

I thought it was only sold at Sephora, so I was surprised. When I checked the price, it was 15,000 won for 7ml... ^0^ As expected, Estée Lauder is expensive, haha! But since I've been wanting to try this product for a while, and I've been eyeing pricier cosmetics lately, I decided to buy one! I heard this product can be heaven for some people, but hell for others if it doesn't suit them. When I checked the Hwahae app, I saw it had 7 out of 20 caution ingredients... Why so many? I'm glad I bought the sample first in case it doesn't work for me - at least I won't waste too much money! Then I tried it on, and... it was absolutely heavenly for me!!!!!!!! It not only solved my deep dryness but also brightened my complexion. To be more precise, it evened out my skin tone and made it clearer. I was worried about blemishes because of the rich nourishment, but now that I'm a bit older (24 years old...), my skin absorbed it really well! I have dry skin too, so that helps. I learned once again that there's a reason why expensive products are priced that way. Actually, before using this, I tried the Witch's Potion Bifida Ampoule, which is considered a budget option, but it was just okay. It didn't have any noticeable effects, so I ended up giving it to my mom. But this one is really... (speechless) The original is the original, and there's a reason why the best is the best! Although the volume looks small, it's lasting longer than I expected! I've been using it daily for a week, and it's not even half empty, so I guess the value for money isn't bad either. I'm so excited to have found a skincare product I love after a long time, hehe!
ConsThe full-size product is expensive... too expensive... It's really hard to buy unless it's from duty-free shops. There's also a slight chemical scent, but it didn't bother me.
