Easy to Apply

It's great to apply this to your face after showering and using a toner.

Why is the container a glass bottle with a dropper? It's so heavy when I want to take it somewhere, always making me consider leaving it behind.

After applying this, you can feel the hydration rising without any oiliness. There's no skin tightness, and it seems like everyone could use it comfortably.

허니 로얄락틴 프로폴리스 앰플

There's no irritation, and 30ml isn't a tiny amount, but this product always seems to be sold out during sales...? I guess I was lucky when I bought it. There's no reason to insist on buying it at full price, right? Because of that, I bought a different product. I might buy it again if it goes on sale. I wish they'd make a larger size. Missha tends to increase the volume of their popular items when they become famous, though the price shoots up too, which is a bit of a trap. If the price-to-volume ratio is good, I'd consider making it a staple. The glass container is a bit of a hassle. It's annoying when the dropper can't pick up the product when it's almost empty. A pump might have been better.

I hadn't found many great products from Holika before, so I hadn't repurchased anything in a while. But I bought this ampoule because the reviews were so good. I heard it was super elastic, so I took a chance based on that one comment. And wow! When did Holika Holika start making such great skincare products? Was I the only one who didn't know? This is truly the king of elasticity. I can't see how much it's firming up my skin, but it feels so bouncy that I just know it's giving my skin loads of elasticity! I usually use a small amount twice, but even using half a pump once is enough to make my skin feel super firm. At my age, changing one ampoule doesn't magically transform your skin overnight anymore, unfortunately. But the next morning, my skin feels less dry! When I don't use a proper ampoule, my face feels dry the next day no matter how much cream I slather on. But after using this product, my skin feels plump the next morning! My makeup goes on smoothly too.

There's nothing particularly negative to mention. You can't complete your entire skincare routine with just this, so you'll need to apply a cream afterward. It's a great ampoule for seasonal transitions.

Propolis is an ingredient that helps with skin antioxidation. It's particularly effective for improving my skin barrier, which is why I use various propolis products. The Honey Royal Lactin Ampoule has a high concentration of propolis extract, listed as the first ingredient. It contains 64% extract. Among all the propolis ampoules I've used, this one absorbs exceptionally well. It leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated. The fragrance is absolutely delightful. While propolis products often have strong scents that can be polarizing, this one has a pleasant floral aroma.

Test if honey or propolis ingredients suit your skin before purchasing.

The product itself is really great... The texture, how it absorbs, and its hydrating power are all truly excellent. However, honey and propolis don't agree with my skin, so it made me feel itchy when I applied it. My mother tried it and said it was moisturizing and nice though.

I tried a few sample packets of this Holika Holika ampoule that came with another purchase. It has a slightly viscous, rich texture. The oil and moisture balance feels well-adjusted - I think those with combination to dry skin would really like this. Thanks to the honey ingredient, it's incredibly hydrating with decent moisturizing power. I thought it might be sticky, but surprisingly it absorbs well. It has quite a strong honey scent, which can be a bit much sometimes, but it's also pleasantly sweet.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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...

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!

The scent wasn't quite my style, which was a bit disappointing. However, I think it's still worth giving it a try at least once.

I received this product as a gift and was initially hesitant to use it, worried it might be too sticky. But when I finally tried it, I was pleasantly surprised! It wasn't sticky at all and felt really nice on my skin!

There's absolutely nothing to complain about! I'm completely satisfied with this product.

This serum is so rich and nourishing, it makes my skin feel plump and firm all the way down to its deepest layers!

There wasn't anything particularly bad, but it was a bit sticky, so those who dislike that sensation might not enjoy it.

I loved how it kept my skin hydrated for a long time and gave my face a beautiful glow.
