It causes skin blemishes. My skin feels so irritated that I have to visit a dermatologist for treatment.
ConsIt makes red spots appear on my face and causes a tingling sensation. I usually use Madecassoside creams without issues, but this product doesn't agree with my skin.

I've been using the Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule consistently morning and night. Texture and scent: The texture is slightly runny but feels nourishing and hydrating. It absorbs well without any stickiness. The scent is slightly medicinal but not unpleasant, so I could use it without any issues. Brightening effects: Given my numerous freckles, age spots, and scars, I had high hopes for this pharmaceutical company's skincare product. While I was unsure at first, after a few days I definitely saw results. They claim you can see brightening effects in 3 days, which was true for me, though it may vary for others. It's not a dramatic change since it's skincare, not medication, but I noticed my lifelong freckles and cheekbone age spots becoming lighter! Wrinkle improvement: Due to the short usage period, I haven't noticed significant wrinkle reduction yet. However, my skin does feel firmer. I'll update on wrinkle improvement effects after continued use.
ConsInitial sensation: There was a slight tingling when I first applied it, but it was fine from the next day. It might have been because I applied it after exfoliating. Volume and price: It comes with two 7ml bottles. Using it generously, you could go through about one bottle per week. Considering its effectiveness, I thought about repurchasing, but the price is a bit high. I might wait for a sale to buy it again.

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.ProsMy skin has some pigmentation left from improperly removed flat warts a few years ago, not melasma. I tried to take before and after photos focusing on those areas, but there wasn't a noticeable difference after just a week of use, so I don't have comparison photos unfortunately. The good points are: - It absorbs well. The consistency is just like an ampoule. When you first apply it to your face, it spreads very easily. It doesn't feel like it's just sitting on top of the skin - at first it glides on smoothly, and then if you gently pat it in, it absorbs nicely. However, there is a bit of residue left. I haven't been wearing makeup lately, so I'm not sure if makeup would apply well over it due to the slight residue. - It's very hydrating. As I mentioned, there's a bit of residue at first that made me unsure, but after several hours, when I touched my face, it felt really moisturized. My skin also had a nice glow - not oily or dewy, but a sort of pearlescent glow without any actual shimmer particles. - The oil and moisture balance seems good. You know how sometimes when products don't balance well, your cheeks get rough while your T-zone gets oilier? But with this, my cheeks felt smooth and my forehead and nose stayed matte. I usually have to blot my nose when I'm not wearing makeup, but even when I checked the mirror at my usual blotting time, my skin still looked fresh. Since it's a functional cosmetic, a week probably isn't long enough to see its full effects. I didn't notice any significant lightening of pigmentation or overall brightening. But judging by how well it hydrates and balances the skin, I think it could brighten with long-term use!
Cons- It might not be super gentle for everyone. On the first day, I felt a slight tingling when I applied it, but I continued using it. The second day, right after cleansing when my skin was bare, I felt that slight stinging again as soon as I applied it. When I looked in the mirror, my face was red and I had some blemishes pop up around my nose. Driven by my commitment to write this review, I didn't stop using it. I thought maybe my skin needed to adapt, so for the next couple of days, I only applied it to my forehead and cheekbones, avoiding the sensitive areas around my nose (I did apply it to my cheeks despite their sensitivity because that's where my pigmentation is). After that, when I applied it to my whole face again, I didn't feel any stinging and started noticing the benefits I mentioned above! I'm not sure if it just took some time for my skin to adjust, or if it's a product that's too strong for daily use. I'll need to use it longer to know for sure. A week is too short to tell!
TipThe first photo was taken the morning after I first used the product, in natural light as a 'before' shot. The second photo is from the same day in the evening. My skin became very irritated right after application... I was shocked to see blemishes pop up around my nose (as I mentioned above, they were gone by the next morning). The skin tone looks completely different, but that's probably due to the difference between natural light and artificial light. These photos were taken on the same day, just half a day apart.

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.Pros- After applying, it does seem to brighten up my complexion. While it doesn't completely eliminate dark spots or blemishes in just 3 days as claimed, I did notice a slight fading effect. I've used it for about 4 days, so I'll need to use it a bit longer to be sure... - It felt a bit heavy when first applied, but over time it absorbed well without leaving my skin feeling greasy. Plus, it's quite hydrating.
Cons- I'm disappointed that there weren't any immediately noticeable effects. I'm not sure how it would work with consistent use, but I probably wouldn't purchase it separately. - At first, the scent seemed fine, but as time passed, a strong medicinal smell developed, which was off-putting. - For my sensitive, combination dehydrated, acne-prone skin, the texture was a bit heavy. When I applied it all over my face the first time, I woke up the next morning with some redness and slight tingling. So from then on, I only applied it to specific areas as needed. - The amount you get for the price is quite small, which is another downside.
TipFor those with sensitive skin or who tend to get oily, I'd recommend applying this only to areas where it's needed rather than all over the face.

I used it every night for a week, and while my dark spots didn't noticeably fade, I noticed that when I woke up after applying it at night, my overall complexion looked clearer and brighter.
ConsAs I have super sensitive skin, it stung a bit after application, and I experienced some redness and swelling in various areas of my face. There was also some itching. Fortunately, these symptoms subsided after a while and everything went back to normal.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 off, I have combination dehydrated skin that's prone to blemishes if I use products that are too rich. My complexion is fair, but I struggle with dark spots and pores! To really gauge the effectiveness of this ampoule, I only used my usual toner and emulsion without any other products. >Texture It applies smoothly and absorbs well. It's more hydrating than I expected and doesn't cause any deep dryness, yet it doesn't feel sticky either - I'm really impressed! >Scent The scent is just like other madecassoside products I've used before - that typical ointment smell - so it wasn't bothersome at all! >Packaging I love that it comes in 7ml dropper bottles - it's convenient to use and seems less likely to get contaminated! While I haven't noticed significant improvement in my dark spots yet, I feel like my overall complexion has brightened up. I'm definitely interested in continuing to use this product!
ConsThe main drawback I noticed was the price-to-quantity ratio and its effectiveness. >Results I only used toner and emulsion alongside this ampoule to really test its effects, but expecting to see results in just 3 days was probably too optimistic. >Sensation There were times when I felt a slight tingling upon application, but it was mild and not particularly bothersome. >Blemishes Everything was fine for a few days, but as I continued using it, I started to break out a bit. I'm not sure if it's because the product is too rich for my skin or if it just doesn't suit me. The blemishes aren't widespread, just one or two mainly on my cheeks. Personally, I'd like to see the effects after two weeks, so I plan to reduce the amount I use and continue trying it.
TipSince it absorbs quickly, it's best to spread it rapidly. If you experience any intense tingling, try blending it with your usual skincare products when applying!

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.ProsHwahae Tester Review I noticed some dark spots under my eyes, so I paid special attention to that area while applying this product. While not a dramatic change, I did see a slight lightening effect. The texture is a bit sticky when applied, but it leaves the skin feeling firm. I used this in combination with the Centellian Mela Capture Ampoule and a Vitamin C cream. Compared to using just a vitamin ampoule and Vitamin C cream, there was less pilling (where the product balls up or flakes off like dead skin cells) when I applied sunscreen afterwards. I used this product from the evening of 5/21 to the evening of 5/25, applying it morning and night (except on the 21st) by squeezing out a generous amount. If you use it liberally like I did, it should last about a month.
ConsThose with super sensitive skin might experience a slight tingling sensation. It's not intense, but I could feel it a bit when my skin was particularly sensitive.

What I loved about it: When I first opened the ampoule and applied it, I was impressed by its texture and how well it absorbed. Compared to my previous ampoule, it felt incredibly hydrating and absorbed into my skin beautifully.
ConsWhat I found slightly disappointing: Recently, due to frequent mask-wearing, I've been experiencing a lot of blemishes on my face. When I first applied this product, I felt a slight tingling sensation. Other than that, I was extremely satisfied with this product.

The texture feels refreshing. 2. For a functional cosmetic, it feels gentle on the skin with minimal tingling. 3. Slight reduction in discoloration around the eyes. Since my skin was sensitive due to wearing masks, I felt a strong tingling sensation when first applying it. So, I focused on applying it to areas with a slightly yellowish tint, such as around the eyes, mouth, nose, and temples, rather than the cheeks. Knowing it's not specifically for the eye area, I carefully applied it around the eyes to avoid getting it in them. The discoloration from eyeliner seemed to improve very slightly (I'm not exaggerating, it's a really subtle change). It's only been two days, so I'll need to keep using it to see the full effects. I'm curious to try applying it differently on my left and right hands to compare the results. This is an experiment I wouldn't dare try if I had bought it myself, but since I won it in an event, I'd like to thoroughly test its effectiveness to write a helpful review for others. If it continues to work well, I might consider purchasing it for personal use.
ConsIt stings a bit when first applied. It was difficult to distinguish between the good points and slightly disappointing aspects, so I wrote about them in detail in the 'good points' section. Please refer to that!
