It didn't cause any irritation. While it didn't make my acne disappear, it seems to have prevented further breakouts.
ConsThe formula is watery and a bit drying. ㅜㅜ Applying a rich cream afterwards helps a bit.
TipYou may feel it's a bit drying, so it's recommended to follow up with a richer cream to fully hydrate your skin.

ConsThe amount was always too little, and the formula was a bit too runny, making it a little difficult to apply.

ConsThe formula is a bit runny, so it tends to flow out a lot. You have to use it carefully and control the amount.

ConsThe previous version was much better, but it seems like it's no longer available anywhere. The old formula was like water and flowed so smoothly, and I used up countless bottles of it throughout the seasons. But after the change, the new formula feels stickier and they've added more ingredients, yet the soothing effect on the skin has worsened. It leaves a slightly sticky feeling, and I've even gotten some milia. I really wish they would bring back the old version 🥺🥺

But after using this product for about 10 days, my skin texture has become much more supple and bouncy! I can definitely feel the difference. However, those who don't tolerate ingredients like centella or madecassoside should definitely check the formula before purchasing. 🖇Overall - My skin has become remarkably smooth overall, and it left a light, hydrating sensation on my face. It also doesn't seem to burden my skin, so I think I'll continue using it as a daily product! 🌬
Cons🖇 Downsides - The fact that some new small breakouts appeared is a bit disappointing. And the texture is a bit too watery, so it tends to just flow down my face, which makes it a bit tricky for me to apply. But I've decided to get used to it. Haha
TipI've been keeping it in the fridge and using it chilled, which feels really refreshing and nice. I'd love to try using it as a face mask too - I think that would be great! I haven't tried that yet, but I'll add that and let you know how it goes! 😊 These days, I'm really into my skincare routine. In the morning, I use [Apieu Ampoule + Etude House Soon Jung Barrier Cream], and in the evening, I use [Dermatory Trouble Pore Pad + Apieu Ampoule + Etude House Soon Jung Barrier Cream]. I find the ampoule and that Etude House cream work really well together. Haha

The formula is almost as thin as water, so it applies smoothly (with no irritation whatsoever) 2. It absorbs quickly, making layering easy 3. It absorbs in a bouncy, velvety way, and the finish is powdery (?) and feels slightly coated, yet like nothing is there - no stickiness, which I liked 4. Even though I have sensitive skin, no blemishes popped up, so it felt gentle 5. There's a slight cooling sensation when applying, which I enjoyed 6. Although it doesn't contain whitening ingredients, my skin started looking a bit brighter around day 8, likely due to the soothing and hydrating effects
Cons1. The watery formula glides on smoothly when applying, but when I tried to dot it on different areas of my face, it quickly ran down, which was inconvenient 2. It absorbs quickly, and after some time, it feels like nothing is there at all. While the application is nice, there's a bit of an evaporating sensation, and drier areas felt a bit tight.
TipSince it's a thin, quickly-absorbing ampoule-like formula, it works well as an early step in a skincare routine. And since it absorbs quickly and thoroughly, even if some absorption is lost over time, you can apply the next skincare product right away (which is what I've been doing, using this and then a lotion, and it's been great). Dry skin types may also benefit from double-layering this product.

It feels like it's sliding on the skin without separating from it, and you might think it won't absorb, but it actually absorbs right away, which is surprising. Absorption👍🏻 Over time, it gets fully absorbed without any stickiness. Recommended skin type👉🏻 Sensitive Volume👍🏻 At the bottom, the glass looks thicker and the amount seems less due to the refraction effect, but once you remove the wrapping sticker, you can see that there's actually a good amount. Product👍🏻 The dropper handle is soft, so you can easily draw a large amount and it will come out completely when dispensing, allowing you to cover your whole face in one go. The dropper also doesn't feel stiff when taking it out of the bottle. Texture👍🏻 The formula is watery and flowing. Fragrance👍🏻 Fragrance-free and colorless.
ConsMoisturizing power👎🏻 It's almost non-existent, so you'll need to apply a separate cream. On hot days, when I only use the toner and this ampoule, my combination skin, especially the T-zone, gets very dry, so I have to apply it multiple times, which is a bit of a hassle. Product👎🏻 Since it's made of glass, it feels delicate to hold and use, and is slightly heavy. The reason for using a glass bottle must be because of the watery, flowing formula, which means you have to be careful not to spill it. There's also a small gap between the bottle cap and the main body, which I'm not sure is normal or not. Not recommended for👎🏻 While I highly recommend this for sensitive skin, those who don't have sensitive skin or don't need skin soothing may not need to bother with this. And for combination or dry skin types, this may not provide enough moisture, especially as we head into fall and winter.
TipOne-line review👉🏻 It's really great for skin soothing, but don't expect much in terms of moisturizing. If you have any blemishes or redness, I would 100% repurchase this. It's a great product to use in the summer when it's hot.👍🏻

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, unlike when using other ampoules, just a light press of the dropper was enough to dispense a generous amount, so I didn't need to pump the dropper multiple times. This was very convenient. The application was also very smooth, as just a little rubbing with my hands spread it evenly across my entire face. It absorbs well, so you can use it right after cleansing. Since it's fragrance-free, it should work well for those sensitive to scents. It also seems to have few harsh ingredients, so it should be suitable even for sensitive skin. If you experience skin irritation, using this can help soothe your skin. The low price and generous volume are its biggest advantages. I also didn't experience any oily residue after use, so it should be great for easy summer use. It's a popular item with a lot of word-of-mouth, and it lived up to my expectations.
ConsThe thin formula means that if you accidentally spill a little on your face, it quickly runs down. After absorbing the product, you may feel some tightness and dryness over time, so using just this ampoule alone could lead to dryness. Those with dry skin may feel dryness when using it. The thin formula also means the volume goes down quickly, and you may feel a slight stickiness, which is a downside.
TipUsing a cotton pad to lay it on your face like a mask can be good, and applying it concentrated on dry areas before makeup can help the makeup apply better.

I also noticed that the redness and blemishes seemed to calm down a bit after using this, which is even better.
ConsSince it applied like water, it tended to spread too much, with more product flowing out than I intended to apply.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI originally used ampoules with a certain degree of moisture content as I have very sensitive and extremely dry skin, but this year, with the unusually hot summer, I've been dealing with severe breakouts and excess sebum production. So I was looking for a lightweight-feeling ampoule, and in the end, I was satisfied! It applies lightly and smoothly without any stickiness, absorbs quickly, and leaves no oily residue, so there's no uncomfortable shiny look. Oh, and the ingredients are simple and straightforward - I'm very pleased with that as well.
ConsFor an ampoule, the viscosity was a bit disappointing. I usually think of ampoules as having a thinner consistency than essences but thicker than toners, but this product is closer to a toner. When you dispense it onto your face using the dropper, it practically just runs right off. It seems to do a decent job of soothing and balancing the skin's base, but I'm not sure if it would be enough to calm things down if your skin suddenly goes haywire.
TipFor those with dry skin who also have oily tendencies, try applying the ampoule and then lightly mixing in a small amount of moisturizer in the palm of your hand before pressing it into the skin. This provides a nice lightweight hydration boost that also works well for makeup application!
