ConsI'm not sure about the whitening effects, though. I'll leave a review after finishing the whole bottle (20ml)..ㅎ The calming ampoule did show some effects, but it's a bit disappointing.

ConsI did not particularly notice any additional benefits such as whitening.

The large volume and moisturizing texture allowed me to apply it generously and pat it in for absorption. Even during this transitional weather period when dryness is common, I hardly experienced any dryness. I believe that when a brightening product is well-hydrated, it can effectively brighten the complexion.
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing. It's difficult to see drastic whitening effects within a short 2-week period. If such a product existed, the price would be unreasonable. I'll use it for about a month and leave a more detailed review then!

I'll review it more carefully this time. First, my skin is slightly dry and my skin tone is around 17-19. These days, my skin is in a bad state. 1. Whitening To be honest, I'm not sure about the whitening effect. I applied it twice a day, morning and evening, but I didn't really feel a significant whitening effect. However, since my skin tone is already quite bright at 17-19, I may not have noticed it as much. I expect that for those with brighter skin than average, the whitening effect may not be very noticeable. 2. Pores The pore effect seems better than expected. At first, I couldn't really feel it, but after 1-2 weeks of use, I felt less conscious about my pores when applying makeup. However, since there's no effect right away, you'll need to use it continuously. 3. Pigmentation When I applied it to the areas where I had acne, there was no effect. But since other products also don't have a significant effect on pigmentation, it's similar to other products. It's better not to have high expectations. 4. Moisture It's okay for my dry skin, but in the evening, I feel a slight lack of moisture. Be sure to apply your skincare routine thoroughly in the evening. 5. Breakouts As mentioned on Hwahae, the ingredients seem fine and it didn't cause any breakouts. But please note that I have relatively insensitive skin that doesn't break out easily. 6. Scent The scent-free aspect is great. 7. Design It's pretty, with a clean and clear white look. But the dropper seems a bit weak - you need to press carefully to get the full amount, otherwise it only comes up halfway. 8. Spreadability Good, it absorbs well right away. 9. Price ...To be honest, while it's a good ampoule, I'm not sure if it's worth the 45,000 won.
ConsOverall Assessment Considering it just as an ampoule, it's quite decent. There are no breakout issues, and it's just generally unremarkable. However, if we assume it's a pore and whitening cosmetic product, aside from the pore effect, the other effects all fall short of expectations, and the 45,000 won price seems excessive, so I'm deducting one star.
TipIf you have areas that need pore care, it would be better to apply this product to those areas first, let it dry, and then use a more moisturizing product. Since the effects other than pores are lacking...

Reduces pigmentation 2. Fades freckles and blemishes 3. Improves skin radiance 4. Brightens skin 5. Evens out skin tone 6. Reduces pore size 7. Reduces pore volume 8. Reduces pore depth 9. Increases elasticity around pores 10. Improves skin texture 🎈 The formula is essentially watery, and the scent is floral-like, but it's reminiscent of a fragrance I used to smell in my childhood. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's a subtly pleasant aroma that evokes nostalgic memories. (This may differ from others' opinions;) I didn't experience any discomfort, perhaps because I didn't apply a large amount. The dropper application was convenient. The watery formula absorbs well. ✅ Pore Effects Although brief, the pores on the T-zone seemed relatively less noticeable! I can't say for certain if there was an actual reduction in pore size, area, or volume, but I did notice a subtle difference. However, the improvement in skin texture... I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of sleep, as my skin texture was already poor. I experienced more peeling than usual, but I can't attribute that solely to this ampoule, as environmental factors and the short trial period make it difficult to say.
Cons☑ Whitening Effects I didn't notice any visible whitening effects during the use of the ampoule, and I think the lack of sleep may have prevented me from seeing more results. The evenness of skin tone also didn't seem to improve much, as my skin was already fairly even to begin with.
TipI think the effects would be even better if used with a modeling pack. From now on, I'll incorporate it into my regular routine and add more details if I see good results :)

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.ProsThis is a review based on using the product from 3/31 to 4/9! 💜Texture/Stickiness It has a very thin, non-sticky texture! I think it's somewhere between an ampoule and a toner in terms of texture. 💜Absorption/Moisture It absorbs very quickly! I used it after a toner, and it still showed a quick absorption rate. The moisture level might be too dry for those with combination/dry skin to use it alone! As a combination skin type, I used it with a toner-ampoule-cream routine. 💜Atopic Dermatitis and Acne-Prone Skin My skin is dry around the mouth and cheeks (dimple area), but has oiliness in the T-zone. After using the hydrating toner, I applied the 'Milk Thistle Brightening Spa Ampoule' and then topped it off with a cream, which provided just the right amount of moisture/oil balance! Even though it's a natural ingredient product, some can worsen atopic dermatitis, but this one was fine for both my atopic dermatitis and acne. 💜Ingredients Due to my very sensitive skin from atopic dermatitis, I haven't been able to try other brightening products that are effective. I've wanted to try the famous powder product, but the warning about not using it for sensitive skin has held me back. However, since the Milk Thistle Brightening Spa Ampoule has no harmful ingredients, I applied for and tested it. The gentle ingredients seem to be the reason why I didn't experience any troubles! 💜Product Packaging The dropper is sturdy, and the twist-open and close part is tightly sealed, so I can use it with confidence.
Cons🌼Brightening Effect Since it's only been about 10 days since I started using the product, I haven't really noticed any brightening effects yet! However, 10 days is a short time to see skin tone improvements, so I plan to continue using it consistently.
TipThe back of the product has detailed explanations about the effects and texture. It would be good to refer to that as well!

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.ProsThe texture - The serum was more watery than Toridoll, making it easy to apply in a smooth, creamy manner. Usability - The lightweight texture didn't make me think it would be highly moisturizing, but it actually provided good hydration. Fragrance - There was a subtle, natural sweet floral scent, like roses or flowers, that I enjoyed while applying it.
ConsPackaging - The opaque packaging makes it difficult to see how much product is left. Dropper - The dropper dispenses a small amount, so I need to use 1.5 droppers to get the right amount. Whitening, Anti-aging - I didn't notice any whitening or anti-aging effects after just 1 week of use. Price - The full retail price seems too expensive.
TipThe lightweight texture and formula would be suitable for spring and summer use. Since my skin doesn't get too dry even in winter, I think layering this with a couple layers of essence after toner would work well for me in the fall and winter too.

After application, my skin felt refreshed and clean. I often experienced small blemishes and breakouts after wearing masks, but during the 2 weeks of using this product, I did not have any new blemishes appear on my face.
ConsI heard that the main functions of this product were pore care and whitening, but after using it for 2 weeks, I did not personally experience those benefits. Since the product formula is quite watery, the moisturizing power was a bit lacking. So I would recommend applying it more than twice.

I've only been able to use it for about a week, so I think I need to use it for a longer period to see the full effects of the whitening and pore-refining ampoule. But I'll share my initial thoughts. ✔️Ingredients and Skin Irritation: The ingredients seem very gentle. There are no harmful ingredients, so I felt very reassured when applying for the Hwahae trial event. Since the ingredients are so gentle, I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation during use! It's definitely a very mild product. ✔️Texture: The texture is very thin and watery! It has a slight viscosity, like a light water-based product. It's a great texture for summer, as it applies very lightly. ✔️Spreadability and Absorption: The lightweight texture means it spreads well without any stickiness. It absorbs quickly into the skin right after application. However, the hydration doesn't seem to last very long, so I need to apply it a couple times to maintain that dewy, moisturized look. ✔️Fragrance: It's fragrance-free! The lack of scent is not bothersome at all.
Cons✔️Whitening & Pore Care: The most important aspect is the whitening effect! With whitening and pore care products, the results are not usually visible overnight. So the short time I've used it so far hasn't been enough to see any noticeable changes. If I do start to see good results by the time I finish the bottle, I'll be sure to come back and update my review. ✔️Hydration: The aspect I'm most disappointed with is the hydration. Of course, this is an ampoule, not a dedicated moisturizing product. But I was hoping for a more nourishing, plumping sensation after application. Instead, it just feels like I've applied a light toner - there's no real sense of my skin being deeply hydrated. I have to apply it a couple times to get any kind of moisturizing effect. ✔️Packaging & Volume: At first, I was surprised by how large the bottle looked, thinking it was 100ml. But it's actually 50ml, which is a more standard ampoule size. The opaque packaging makes it hard to tell how much product is left, so I have to rely on the dropper and my own intuition.
TipIt seems like this would be a great lightweight option for summer use. However, you'll likely need to apply it at least twice to get sufficient hydration, and pair it with other moisturizing skincare products to provide adequate nourishment for your skin.

When it absorbed into my skin, it didn't feel dry, but rather lightweight and refreshing. Even though my skin is sensitive, I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation from using this product. I guess it's thanks to the good ingredients?
ConsThe cost-effectiveness isn't great... The price seems a bit high compared to the effectiveness. From the day I received the product until the review deadline, I didn't see any dramatic effects. I was hoping for pore improvement more than whitening, but I'm not sure if there was any noticeable difference. And the scent is a bit unusual - it's similar to the spicy, pungent smell of dried chili peppers. I got used to it over time, but the scent is still present every time I use it... Since I've only used it for a little over a week, I'll update the review if I notice any changes with more prolonged use.
