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.
ConsThere'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.

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.
ConsThe 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.
TipTest if honey or propolis ingredients suit your skin before purchasing.

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

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

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

But after trying this, I switched immediately. Holika Holika was a brand I associated mainly with color cosmetics, but wow, their skincare is impressive too. The finish is nice and firm. The hydration is decent (sufficient for me, just entering my thirties - some calming ampoules can be drying). Unlike other propolis products I've used, this one has a pleasant scent and is transparent (see photo). I mix it with vitamin C powder when applying. Over time, it seems to fade scars and give my skin more resilience. Overall, it's great. As a skincare enthusiast who's tried many products, I can't say it's the absolute best, but it definitely holds its own against other famous propolis ampoules.
ConsNo downsides yet. However, you must apply a moisturizer after using this.
TipI mix it with vitamin powder. This makes it very thin, giving it a toner-like consistency. I pat it generously on my face, and since my hands become quite sticky, I use them to massage my neck.
