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.
ConsThe 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.
TipRead 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.

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.:)
ConsThe 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;^;
TipIt's best to dispense 1.5 pumps and gently absorb it all over the face.

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.
ConsThere 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.
TipI 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.

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.
ConsFor 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.
TipRather 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.

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.ProsHere are the key facts that those considering purchasing might be curious about!🙃 ❗Skin Type Combination skin with breakouts that come and go Cystic acne, closed comedones, blackheads, whiteheads present T-zone is oily, while the forehead and outline areas are dry ⭕ 1. For dry skin types, there is satisfactory moisturizing power and a non-greasy, slightly slippery residual feel, leaving the skin feeling plump over time 2. The absorption is also just right - the serum has a weighted feel, so if it absorbed completely at once it might look oily, but this product seems well-formulated to avoid that 🎁I've seen effects from using the product! After 10 days of use, I definitely noticed my blemishes had diminished slightly, and my overall complexion looked brighter, which was surprising and delightful ㅎ.ㅎ
Cons❌ 1. The advantages I listed above actually become a drawback when using the product before makeup.ㅠ.ㅠ The slower absorption means I don't recommend using it before makeup. 2. During the first 3 days, I used the full dropper amount in the bottle, and that caused several painful, cystic acne breakouts.🥲 I usually get acne right away when using oily skincare, so I'm not sure if it was due to using too much or if the fragrance didn't agree with me...ㅠㅠ The affected areas on my cheeks became inflamed, and it was a struggle to recover from that.
TipThe final photo shows one drop each of the Dajaeun Houttuynia Cordata Serum and the Mernell Serum on a Post-it note, taken 15 minutes later. The Dajaeun Serum demonstrated noticeably faster absorption, while the Mernell Serum left a noticeable amount that was about to drip off. Please keep this in mind, and if you don't like heavier products, I'd recommend considering the Dajaeun Serum.😉

My skin produces a lot of oil after cleansing, so I'm trying not to apply my skincare too thickly. This was the first time I looked for products to repurchase after doing a Hwahae Trial Review!!! I only used a toner and an ampoule as my basic skincare routine. ❗️The creamy texture didn't feel oily, even without applying a separate cream. ❗️The 40ml bottle lasted me about 2 weeks with generous morning and evening application. Please check the volume. ❗️If you're using an ampoule to combat dehydration, I highly recommend this one. ❗️The centella and madecassoside in this ampoule worked really well for my skin. ❗️It takes some time to absorb, but the product is very moisturizing. My face feels hydrated and not tight even after waking up. ❗️While I didn't notice whitening effects, it seemed to help with wrinkle management. The fine lines around my eyes were less noticeable after using this ampoule.
ConsAt first, I was surprised by the scent... It had a metallic, almost bloody smell that could be unpleasant for sensitive noses. The price is also quite high for this product. However, I think it's worth it since it replaces multiple skincare steps. There's a lot of packaging waste, so I hope they can reduce it a bit.
TipDon't be stingy, absorb it like a toner!

I place a lot of importance on whitening, but I'm not sure if the freckles have disappeared yet after a few weeks of application. However, the product has good spreadability and absorption. Since my skin is dry, it feels tight after washing my face, but when I apply the ampoule, it doesn't feel tight at all. I only use this product. It also has good absorption, so it sinks in quickly.
ConsAfter only a few weeks of use, the freckles and age spots are still the same. They haven't faded at all. My skin does seem a bit brighter, but I'm still not sure. I'll leave a review after I finish the whole bottle if I see any effects.
TipBecause the product has good absorption, it's better to spray it directly on your face rather than putting it in your hands and then applying it. The product has a dropper-like applicator, so it's easy to apply directly to your face.

Even with my sensitive skin, there was no irritation or breakouts, and I really liked how it applied smoothly and left my skin feeling hydrated. The color changing from blue to purple was fascinating, and over time it seemed to settle back to a blue tone.
ConsWhile there is a slight fragrance, it's not particularly bothersome. It would be even better without the fragrance, but it's not something that I find overly concerning. Despite the presence of fragrance, it didn't cause any breakouts, which is quite surprising.

Moisturizing power 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 -I didn't have high expectations for the moisturizing power, but I was pleasantly surprised that my face doesn't feel tight and remains soft when using this product alone🤭 Absorption 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 -It doesn't absorb immediately after application, but it absorbs very well after spreading it a bit. Product efficacy 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 -The moisture and moisturizing power are good, but I didn't feel my skin brightening when mixing in the vitamin powder. I think I need to use it more to see the whitening effects..🥺 Breakouts ❌ -Since the ingredients are all mild and agree with my skin, I didn't experience any breakouts. Packaging & Product composition 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 -There's an additional support at the opening, which made it more stable and better when inserting and removing the dropper. -The product comes with a dropper and vitamin powder, with the product itself sealed, which I liked. -However, the dropper was just inserted into the packaging box, so I'm a bit worried it might have gotten contaminated..😔
ConsFragrance & Ingredients 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑 -The ingredients are all mild, but I'm a bit puzzled that there's fragrance added even though the scent doesn't seem that great...haha Volume 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 -40ml for 68,000 won seems a bit pricey..Of course, the vitamin powder may contribute to the higher price, but it still feels a bit expensive to me since I haven't seen the effects of the vitamin powder yet. However, the moisturizing power was very noticeable, so if I do experience the benefits of the vitamin powder, I think I'd be willing to pay that price☺️ Repurchase intention ❌ -Overall, it's a great moisturizing ampoule that's gentle to use! -If I had experienced the effects of the vitamin powder, I might have considered repurchasing, but since I haven't felt those benefits yet, I don't feel inclined to buy it with my own money.
Tip-Just one dropper is enough to provide sufficient moisture all over the face! -I'm worried the vitamin powder will spoil quickly if I mix it into the product, so I scoop out a little bit to mix in each time I use it..! It's a bit of a hassle, but this is one way to do it~😊

Fragrance: Sophisticated floral scent. Good 2. Moisturization: Adequate moisture and oil content, providing good inner and outer skin hydration.
Cons1. Viscosity: The viscosity is too thin for the dropper type, causing it to drip when applied to the face. 2. Packaging: While the actual product usage is just one dropper bottle, there is a lot of additional waste packaging. 3. The skin may feel slightly oily and stuffy after application, making it unsuitable for some users.
