Pros

It felt like getting professional care at an esthetic shop when I mixed the nutrition ampoule with a large ampoule. The design was also luxurious, and I thought it would be a good gift for my parents next time. To start with, my personal review is: Personally, it finished off slightly oily, but the oiliness was a unique type of intense moisture, which was fascinating! It also effectively relieved severe dryness, which was great. The ampoule also had a generous volume, which I liked.

Cons

The disappointing part was that the color turned somewhat brownish? Like it was oxidizing? Hmm, I knew it would change, but as it became a bit murky and turned brownish, it made me feel uneasy and reluctant to use it. 😢 But since there were no issues using it, I'm still using it well.. It would have been better if it didn't change at all, haha.

Tip

Read reviews to see how much the color deepens, and you can also refer to the photos in my review. Although I have sensitive skin, I used it without any issues.

Pros

I'm so happy to have won the Mernell Two-way Synergy Ampoule! Thank you so much. The ampoule has a transparent sky-blue color, but when I added the vitamin powder, it turned into a beautiful translucent lavender color, which was so fascinating and exciting, like doing a science experiment! I have rhinitis, so I usually avoid strongly scented products because they make me cough. But this ampoule has a very subtle, almost unnoticeable fragrance, which was perfect for my sensitive skin. The texture is moisturizing, a little sticky at first, but after fully absorbing, it leaves behind a comfortable, protective level of moisture without any stickiness. It's great! Even with my sensitive skin, using this ampoule regularly doesn't cause any irritation or issues. It effectively hydrates and prevents dryness, which is perfect for the changing seasons. I'll definitely continue using this product! Thank you, Mernell! 😊💜💙💜💙✨

Cons

The only potential downside is that it may not be ideal for everyone, as individual skin types can differ. As a combination and sensitive-skinned person, I prefer a more refreshing texture. But for those with very dry skin or who prefer a richer, creamier feel, this product may work well for them.

Tip

Since this is a vitamin product, it's best to use it at night. My routine is: cleanse, tone, apply aloe soothing gel, use a mask, then apply the Mernell ampoule. This leaves my skin feeling wonderfully fresh, hydrated, and soothed. 🙂

Pros

When you first open this ampoule, there will be a powder and two ampoules. This powder contains vitamins. If you shake it, the original blue color will disappear and a beautiful purple color will appear. It's also good to store it in the refrigerator. It provides a cooling sensation and can be massaged in refreshingly! When I tapped it 3 times on my cheeks, it finished with a slightly watery yet moisturized feel, which I liked!! And after using this ampoule, I could see that my acne had slightly subsided, which was great. I used a lot of it, but it didn't seem to run out! With my sensitive and irritated skin, and having acne, this ampoule satisfied all three of those needs, so I was very satisfied!

Cons

Was it really necessary to include the lid...? And after opening the lid and applying the ampoule, an odd metallic smell came from my hands... I don't know if it's just me being sensitive...

Pros

※Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review※ •Skin Type I have atopic sensitive skin and have been suffering from recent unexplained acne breakouts. •Texture It has a runny, watery type of texture. It has a slightly watery yet oily feel, which provided sufficient moisturization without feeling too heavy, so I think it can be used comfortably throughout all 4 seasons. I've been struggling with recent acne breakouts that I've never had before, and I was really worried about using whitening products that don't suit me. But this product has ingredients that don't seem to bother me much, and I didn't feel any stinging at all, and nothing new came up, which was great. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage - you can mix in the vitamin powder yourself. To be honest, it's fun, and it's interesting how the color changes a little bit, even if it's just a small change.:) Whitening may not be noticeable in the short term, but just the fact that nothing new came up is enough for me to consider this a good product.:)

Cons

The fragrance... when I apply it on my face, the scent is incredibly strong, which honestly made me a bit uncomfortable;^; I'm sensitive to fragrances and don't usually use products with fragrance, so this was a disappointing aspect for me. Even when I applied it before bed, the fragrance didn't fully go away until it had completely dissipated... The ability to mix in the vitamins, which I mentioned as both an advantage and a disadvantage above, honestly felt a bit unnecessary to me. The fun is only momentary, and it creates an extra useless bottle, and I'm also concerned that the dropper left outside might have gotten some dust on it that I'd have to change... There were quite a few disappointing aspects;^;

Tip

It's best to dispense 1.5 pumps and gently absorb it all over the face.

Pros

☝️ The soothing effect on the skin was absolutely fantastic!! I've been using masks a lot lately, and my skin has been breaking out, but after using this product for a few days, my skin felt soothed. ✌ It felt like my skin was lightly replenished with moisture. It wasn't heavy or burdensome at all, but rather felt light and easily absorbed.

Cons

I used the toner, ampoule, and cream in that order every day, but when I used the ampoule and cream together, my face started to feel a bit bumpy. It seems like using just one drop of the ampoule on my cheeks and forehead is the right amount.

Pros

Unlike the ampoule I've been using before, this one is overflowing with moisture. Haha My skin is light and combination-to-normal, so maintaining a good oil-water balance is important. Applying this ampoule and then the cream worked well for me!

Cons

As many others have mentioned, it seems a bit over-packaged... It wastes environmental resources, and the dropper being built-in like that also seems a bit unsanitary to me. I think this is an area that could be improved.

Tip

I'd recommend this ampoule for dry skin types, using it in a layering routine (patting it in gently for absorption is key). Compared to other ampoules, this one has a slightly lighter feel. I like to layer it at night too - it leaves a nice, bouncy texture.

Pros

I'm a Hwahae Trial Reviewer with a bright, slightly scarred complexion and medium-sized pores. I've been trying out various whitening products lately. These days, many whitening products seem to be more oily and heavy. This product focuses on whitening as the primary goal, but it also seems to pay a lot of attention to hydration. My skin is on the drier side, but it's not too oily. This product has a formula that's just shy of being oily, if that makes sense. For a whitening product, it has excellent moisturizing properties, so it works well for me as someone who uses oil-free skincare. In the winter when I need a bit more oil, I can use this without causing any breakouts and it helps prevent dryness. The whitening effects after about 2 weeks weren't dramatically noticeable, but I did feel like my complexion looked a bit brighter starting from the 3rd day of use.

Cons

There is a slight oiliness to it. As I mentioned, the product focuses a lot on hydration, but the formula is definitely too heavy for oily skin types. Even for my normal-to-dry skin, using a full dropper's worth all over my face made it feel a bit too oily. I also noticed some small breakouts, especially on my forehead, after using this product, though I can't say for certain if it was the direct cause.

Tip

I find that using whitening essences and ampoules in conjunction with exfoliating toners and pads really boosts the synergistic effects. This is definitely true! And rather than using this product solely for whitening purposes, I think it would work well as a hydrating ampoule too.

Pros

I have sensitive skin with acne-prone type 13 complexion. I did not fully add the vitamin C powder because I had previously reacted sensitively to vitamin C, so I adjusted the amount (which was good for those with sensitive skin as they can also adjust the amount). I have freckles and normally use products containing niacinamide and vitamins mixed with moisturizers! I used a sleeping cream for 2 weeks, and even though it's only been 2 weeks, I experienced brighter skin and reduced dryness when I woke up in the morning!! It was good that the ampoule could be mixed with a high-moisture line, as ampoules can be used that way. I reduced the use of my original vitamin ampoule that wasn't very effective in brightening my skin tone.

Cons

The downside was that the ampoule alone was a bit stinging for me due to my sensitivity, but I was able to overcome this by mixing it. For those with sensitive skin, I recommend adjusting the powder amount.

Tip

It's good that the ampoule can be mixed with a high-moisture line! (It mixes well, especially at night time)

Pros

The biggest advantage is that you can visually confirm the presence of vitamin components by directly applying the vitamin powder. And I felt reassured using it because it was labeled as a natural vitamin. The formula is like water and spreads easily on the skin, and it doesn't feel very sticky, which I liked. It seems to really revitalize the skin. I think applying vitamins directly to the skin made my complexion look brighter. I don't think one ampoule can solve dryness completely, so I use it together with a moisturizing cream. I think it pairs well with the hydrating cream formula. However, I don't use it in the morning when applying makeup, as I'm worried it might cause the makeup to slip. I think this product does a decent job at its intended purpose of providing skin elasticity and brightening, compared to other essences. I'll continue using it consistently.

Cons

For products containing vitamin C, my sensitive skin tends to react sensitively. I felt a warming sensation when applying this product as well. It could be because the sudden change in skin temperature from refrigerating the product, but I'm not entirely sure. But having to refrigerate it is still inconvenient... And the fragrance does seem quite strong. I think it would have been better if the fragrance was removed or replaced with something else, at least in terms of the ingredients.

Tip

Rather than just scooping it out with my hand, I find it better to use the dropper to dispense the product directly onto my face in small amounts, which helps conserve the contents.

Pros

I have a dry skin type and a fair complexion, with some freckles around my cheekbones. Blemishes tend to show up depending on my fatigue level. I tried using the Mernell Synergy Ampoule for 20 days. The application was not bad. It comes with a dropper, and the liquid type formula glides on smoothly. I focused on applying it to the areas with freckles on my cheekbones. I applied the appropriate amount, gently patting it in to allow the product to absorb into the skin. It absorbed well without any stickiness. The moisturizing effect also seems decent. As I have a dry skin type, I didn't experience any tightness or dryness. Most importantly, the ingredients seem gentle. It's formulated with various beneficial components like butterfly pea extract and seaweed, targeting skin tone improvement, elasticity, and hydration. During the 20-day usage, I didn't experience any breakouts. There was a slight redness due to the fragrance, but my skin felt comfortable without any irritation or discomfort. While I didn't see any dramatic changes in 20 days, there was a slight improvement in my skin tone and the fading of freckles. To see more significant results, I believe a longer usage period would be required. Given my fair and blemish-prone skin type, getting enough rest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for seeing the best results from this product. With proper self-care, I'm hopeful that I can achieve more noticeable improvements. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product's application, absorption, and moisturizing properties. It feels refreshing on my sensitive skin, and I'm pleased with the experience.

Cons

There was a slight redness due to the fragrance, but the fragrance itself is not too bothersome. It seems the fragrance was added to provide a refreshing scent, even though it may not have been entirely necessary. The fragrance has a pleasant, light and refreshing aroma, and it doesn't feel overpowering.

Tip

It's not a special tip per se, but I found that applying the ampoule after my regular skin care routine, and focusing it on the areas I wanted to improve, was effective. The dropper packaging allows me to dispense the right amount without waste, so I'm able to use it efficiently and economically. I'm very satisfied with this aspect.
