The fluid texture that flows like water had great spreadability as well. While the texture was different from what I expected, rather than feeling moisturized, it had a more oily finish when applied. However, the oiliness dissipated over time, leaving a more hydrated feel. I didn't detect any fragrance when I applied it to the back of my hand or my face.
ConsEven though the texture flows like water, the oily finish was not quite what I had hoped for. Using the dropper to apply the vitamin powder was a bit inconvenient since I had to discard the cap right away.
TipAs I haven't used many products with a dropper-style applicator before, I found it a bit challenging to control the amount in the beginning. And while the oiliness does go away over time, it was quite uncomfortable until it was fully absorbed, so I ended up just applying the next cream right after it had partially absorbed.

Of course, the effects didn't show up clearly after just 2 weeks of use, but the wrinkle-improvement ampoule was pretty good. -Normally ampoules come in small quantities, but I liked that there was a generous amount.
Cons-Thanks to the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, I was able to use it for free... but the price is a bit burdensome, to be honest. I haven't used it much yet, but if there's a difference from other ampoules, I would have to spend a fortune to purchase it!
TipThe pro tip is that if you use it after toner, you can see amazing effects! And if you use it together with a whitening product, you can get even more amazing whitening results!

The vitamin product I used to use was more oily, so it felt like it was absorbed more slowly. This product seems to have more moisture than oil, so it felt like it was absorbed more easily. I didn't just use this product, so I'm not sure if it's because of this product, but my skin texture seems to have become more refined and firm(?). Since it says the product function helps with skin texture and elasticity, I think I've seen the effects of this product!
ConsThere weren't really any disappointing aspects! If I had to pick one, it's that the formula is very watery, so it kind of just flows down, which is a bit inconvenient. But I think that's just the nature of the formula. And since it's not a moisture essence, it's inevitable that the moisture feel is a bit lacking to address dryness. I applied it after using another moisture essence, so I didn't have any issues with dryness. I think those with dry skin might find this essence alone to be insufficient!
TipIt's more of a tip than anything else, but I found that layering this with cleansing toner, a moisture essence, and the Mernel ampoule about two times gave me a nice, plump feeling!

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.

Absorption: As you apply it in circular motions, it naturally massages the skin. It may not absorb super quickly, but after application, there is a glowing feeling, and after sleeping, the skin tone is noticeably brighter and nourished, which I liked. Moisturizing power: The skin on my hands also feels moisturized, and the moisturizing effect is decent.
ConsThe price and the amount are a bit disappointing. It's a bit runny and flows easily. (For dry skin) There were no issues with breakouts or anything like that.
TipAfter applying the ampoule and then the regenerating cream, I received a lot of comments the next day that my skin looked great.

The texture is much more watery than a typical ampoule - it has more of a flowing, non-sticky feel. The best part was... being able to see the vitamin powder being added and knowing exactly how much was included. With regular ampoules, even if they claim a certain percentage of ingredients, it's hard to tell how much is actually there. But with this, I could visually confirm the amount and even adjust it myself, which was very satisfying.
ConsWhen I just applied the ampoule, I felt like my skin was dry on the inside but only moist on the surface. Even though it's a water-based formula, it didn't seem to absorb as quickly as I expected. The texture was also a bit too watery, so it tended to just run off my face. The biggest downside, though, is the price... I received it through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, but I don't think I'd be willing to pay 68,000 won to purchase it, especially when comparing it to other products. Plus, the ampoule bottle is made of glass, which is convenient for storage but doesn't give the same premium feel as the price tag. I'd like to give it a 3.7 rating, but since that's not an option, I've chosen 4 stars.

There was lactobacillus ferment, so I was worried that I might not be able to use it right away. Fermented ingredients always caused breakouts, itchiness, irritation, and redness on my face. However, there was also talk that you can get used to fermented ingredients and they become fine. But I was always afraid to try it. Still, I decided to give it a try and wash my face immediately if any troubles arose. After cleansing, I applied the serum. The watery texture was smooth and spreadable, a bit oily but like a water-like formula. The smooth and lightweight application felt great - not sticky at all. Since wearing masks due to COVID-19, my skin has been dry, and anything sticky or oily would irritate my sensitive skin. But this was perfect, especially as the weather is getting warmer. Even 10 minutes after applying, my face remained calm. I used it the next day as well, and it was still fine, phew! I think others with sensitive skin would relate. Most importantly, after applying, my skin tone looked brighter and had a nice, dewy glow. I'm satisfied and will continue using it, though I'll need to use it for a while longer to see the full effects.
ConsThe watery texture was smooth and spreadable, but it tended to drip down my face. I would recommend applying it by first dropping it onto your hands and then spreading it on your face, rather than directly dropping it from the dropper onto your face. Also, I found out from inquiring on the Mernell website that the product contains vitamin C, so it can be used both day and night. It would have been nice if they had indicated that on the product information, that it's suitable for daytime use as well. But yes, it can be used during the day too!
TipSince the product contains vitamin C, it can discolor or lose its efficacy if stored at room temperature. So I've been storing it in the refrigerator. The cooling effect also seems to enhance the soothing benefits, which is great!
