  Pros

  For non-sensitive, very dry skin types: This Holika product shattered my preconception of them as just a color cosmetics brand. 1) Texture It absorbs well and has excellent application, yet doesn't feel heavy. While honey-infused products often feel thick and sticky, this one is surprisingly lightweight while still being hydrating. However, using a moisturizer after this serum is a must. 2) Hydration It's a holy grail item for combating deep dryness. When I only used toner, emulsion, and cream, I'd get a superficial glow that faded quickly, leaving my skin feeling dry within hours. But pairing this with a cream gives a different kind of glow that lasts longer. After a few days, I noticed my redness from dryness had significantly reduced, making my complexion more even. 3) Scent It has a typical, pleasant cosmetic fragrance. As someone who usually prefers unscented products, I found the scent a bit strong. This might be a point of contention, so if you're sensitive to fragrances, it's best to try a tester first.

  Cons

  Nothing negative to report. It's so good that I'm puzzled why it isn't more popular.

  Pros

  Quick review: An ampoule so powerful it captivates even the most nomadic skincare enthusiasts Recommendation: 5/5 $Scent/Application/Texture The scent isn't particularly overwhelming. While a friend described it as herbal, to me it's just typical of many ampoules. The application is incredibly smooth and hydrating. When applied, it transitions slowly from moisturizing to a plumping effect. The texture itself is somewhat viscous and slick. It's surprisingly rich, which I initially thought might not suit oily skin, but I was mistaken. $Function/Performance It's phenomenal at clearing up blemishes. Of all the ampoules I've tried, this seems to be the fastest-acting. By the next day, all my acne except for pustules had vanished. Even redness faded slightly, likely due to its soothing properties. I bought it out of curiosity after an employee's strong recommendation, and now I feel like that employee deserves a salesperson of the year award. Firstly, the price point is incredibly reasonable. It seems to be the best among ampoules in this price range - truly a hidden gem.

  Cons

  It's richer than expected. While effective, I'm sensitive to sticky and heavy textures. I'm torn about repurchasing because it's hard to find an ampoule this effective at this price point. If they could slightly modify the texture, it would be perfect.

  Tip

  If you can get past the richness, it's genuinely a must-have, highly recommended product.

  Pros

  When I first opened it, I was immediately struck by the lovely scent! It's sweet and delightful! However, it does have a bit of that typical cosmetic fragrance, which I both like and feel slightly concerned about... The dropper format makes it super convenient to use, and the texture isn't overly sticky at all. At first application, I was worried it might feel heavy because it went on quite thick, but I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't end up feeling sticky. That's a big plus! Also, there's a cream that comes with it, and when you use them together, your skin feels incredibly hydrated the next day... I think this would be perfect for those with dry skin if used in combination with the Glow Cream!

  Cons

  There wasn't really anything I disliked! Though the scent is nice, it does have that cosmetic fragrance feel, which is both good and slightly disappointing...

  Tip

  Using it together with the Honey Royal Lactin Glow Cream makes your skin even more hydrated!!!! It really gives you that honey-like skin feeling!

  Pros

  I tried this propolis ampoule for the first time, and it's amazing! I'm about halfway through the bottle, and since switching to this ampoule, I haven't experienced any deep dryness. As someone with super sensitive skin and severe redness, I've never felt this level of hydration except when my skin was parched! The moisturizing power is incredible. The texture isn't rich but applies lightly and absorbs well. I was worried it might be drying since it's lighter and absorbs faster than the Missha purple ampoule I used before, but I was surprised by how well it moisturizes. It immediately improved my skin's deep dryness, which was great. With consistent use, I noticed it calmed my skin and seemed to strengthen my skin barrier. In the past, my skin would sometimes feel a bit rough due to dryness, but using this continuously has made my skin feel more resilient. This ampoule works well both at night and in the morning. Unlike richer, tackier formulas that can reduce makeup longevity and cause pilling, this one absorbs nicely and leaves skin feeling firm without any pilling. Looking back at what I've written, it sounds like an ad, doesn't it? But I promise it's not - I bought this with my own money. It's a new product, so I'm not sure how it'll perform in other seasons, but I think I'll be reaching for this every winter.

  Cons

  There's nothing I dislike about it! However, I've heard that for people who don't react well to propolis, it really doesn't suit them. So those with sensitive skin should be careful.
