It's not thick or sticky at all, but absorbs smoothly and leaves a soft, moisturized feel. For an ampoule, it has a lightweight feel, and considering it's a whitening ampoule, it's quite hydrating! As a dry-skinned person, I applied a hydrating serum before this and followed up with a cream and oil, but it still didn't feel drying. And since I was already using another niacinamide product, this one felt gentle and non-irritating. Soft, moisturizing, lightweight, and gentle - 🤗🤗 However,
Consthe fragrance is really not great. I prefer fragrance-free products for my face, as I'm sensitive to fragrances, and this one does contain fragrance, which is disappointing. And the fragrance itself isn't even good - it has a strong, dizzying scent that lingers even after application. Luckily, the fragrance didn't cause any breakouts for me. The whitening effect was also not as noticeable as I had hoped, given that it contains 5% niacinamide. I've read that 5% niacinamide is the standard concentration for research and verification of its brightening benefits, so higher percentages don't necessarily mean better results. So I was curious but also had high expectations after being selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, and while this product has many advantages like great application and hydration compared to famous competitor products, it fell a bit short in the functional aspect. But it could still be good for using consistently in a gentle, lightweight routine, if only the fragrance wasn't an issue!

I am the type who does not experience major skin troubles, and I usually focus on whitening when applying makeup, so I have tried various whitening ampoules and packs. Texture: It is not as watery as water, but has a runny texture that flows down. Moisture: The ampoule had just the right amount of moisture for my combination skin, so I was very satisfied. The moisture also lasts for a long time. Spreadability: After applying, it does not feel too sticky and dries quickly. Except for the whitening function, everything else was good. Scent: The subtle cosmetic scent was not too bothersome. I will repurchase this product.😀😀 +It also helped my makeup apply well when I used it before applying makeup.!!
ConsWhitening effect: First of all, after using it for 2 weeks, I did not see any whitening effects. There was also not much of an effect in evening out my skin tone. The whitening ampoule that was really effective showed results in just 2 days, so this aspect was disappointing. Dropper(?): The product's dropper was a bit inconvenient. As shown in the attached photo, even when I squeeze it hard, the same amount of product keeps coming out. The rubber part for squeezing is also too loose, so I feel anxious every time I apply it to my face.
TipThose with combination skin types are likely to use this product without much preference or dislike in terms of moisture!

Thinner than a runny essence, but with a slight viscosity, like an ampoule. 💥 Application: The thin texture makes it easy to apply and spread evenly. 💥 Finish: Absorbs quickly, and applying with light patting motions helps it absorb even faster! This was one of my favorite aspects. While it doesn't leave a sticky finish, I did notice a slightly oily/dewy appearance on days I used it, so I avoided using it as a morning base layer. 💥 Brightening effect: No dramatic 'whitening' effect, but a noticeable 'luminosity' and 'glow' that I'm quite satisfied with after 10 days of use! 💥 Breakouts: None!! And I have very sensitive skin - even a change in shower water can upset my complexion, but this product didn't cause any issues. I'm very pleased!
Cons💥 Pressing the dropper down once only fills about half the applicator rod(?) - I have to squeeze it again to cover my whole face, which is a bit annoying. 💥 While the non-sticky finish is a positive, the slightly oily/dewy appearance that emerges later in the day is not ideal for me.
TipGently pat it on!

I did not use any other products alongside this one, and I used this product exclusively after my regular skincare routine. This review is written honestly without any falsehoods or exaggerations. 🙂 ✔️ Texture: For an ampoule, the texture was quite thin (?) without any sticky feeling. It had a slightly runny consistency (like clear nasal mucus). ✔️ Usage: At first, it felt like sprinkling water on my face, with a slightly slippery sensation. But after a couple of rolls, it absorbed quickly and lightly without any stickiness. ✔️ Fragrance: It has a refreshing herbal scent, but it may be a bit strong for some people. As I personally enjoy herbal fragrances, I was satisfied with it. ✔️ Skin Tone Improvement: I didn't expect dramatic effects after using the product for about 10 days. My existing freckles didn't fade or disappear, but my overall skin tone did seem to brighten by about one shade. In addition to the niacinamide that helps with whitening, the hyaluronic acid for hydration and the centella for soothing make this an ampoule that tackles moisture, soothing, and whitening all at once. In my case, I felt a radiant glow to my skin while using this product!
Cons✔️ Inconvenient Dropper: The rubber part is quite small, so the ampoule only comes out in a limited amount, even though I'd like to apply more generously. ✔️ Slight Stinging: When applied to areas with blemishes or minor wounds, I felt a stinging sensation. The stinging didn't persist, but it made me wonder if it was okay to use the product there.

I tried the samples and personally thought they were not bad.:) Now let's talk about the main products. First, I really liked the scent - it had a somewhat luxurious feel to it. The texture was not thick, but rather a runny, fluid consistency. It absorbed very well and left almost no sticky residue after application. Finally, the most important aspect - whitening. After using it consistently for 10 days, the whitening effect was not as dramatic, but my skin tone did look brighter (not sure if it was just a psychological effect). Overall, I thought all the products were not bad.:) I will continue using them consistently going forward😊😊
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked. If I had to pick something, it would be the scent. While I personally liked it, some other people said they didn't. It does seem like the scent could be divisive and not everyone's cup of tea.

It had good spreadability and absorption. The texture was not thick and sticky, but more like a watery lotion. Although I have severe inner dryness, I didn't feel dry after applying it. It also didn't cause any new breakouts. When I apply the ampoule, it feels refreshing? Ampoules are usually quite thick, but this one wasn't, which surprised me. This ampoule is perfect for summer.
ConsThey said it had whitening effects, but after using it for a week, I didn't really notice any. My T-zone also seems to be getting a bit oilier.
TipI apply toner, ampoule, and then moisturizer in that order. I use a refreshing tea tree toner, and the Mamonde moisturizer. When applying each step, I gently pat it in with my fingertips until it's mostly absorbed, then I layer the next product. This helps the moisture stay on my skin better.

And the ampoule didn't feel greasy at all, it absorbed nicely and refreshingly, which I really enjoyed😄
ConsAfter applying it after plucking my eyebrows and washing my face, it stung so much.. I was really surprised💧 And I still haven't felt like my skin has become brighter!!! (I've been using it for a week)

In the morning, I applied this product and then immediately put on sunscreen. In the evening, I only used this product before going to bed. I've been using only this product since receiving it, without using anything else. Texture: At first, I thought it would be very thick, but it's actually more refreshing than I expected. It doesn't feel sticky at all. Hydration: It provides sufficient moisture. I usually need to use an ampoule, but with this product alone, my skin doesn't feel tight. It lasted for about 5 hours after application. Cooling: When my face felt a bit warm, I applied this and it had a cooling, calming effect. I'm not sure of the exact term, but there was a cooling sensation. Applying it when your face feels warm would be beneficial. Scent: The scent is divisive. It's similar to herbal medicine. I personally didn't find it unpleasant. Whitening: As this is not a treatment and I've only used it for a bit less than 2 weeks, it's difficult to expect immediate whitening results. I didn't see instant whitening effects after using it, but if I notice any improvements, I'll add that to my review. It seems like my freckles have faded a bit, but it could just be my imagination. The photos I've attached are taken without any iPhone filters. The appearance may vary depending on the angle.
ConsThe tube opening feels a bit like a dropper? The thickness seems to fit the opening just right.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is lightweight, unlike the thick and creamy appearance. The whitening effect - I'll have to use up a whole bottle to really see the results, so I'll leave a review after that. Moisturization - I'm not sure about the moisturizing effects, as it felt like it evaporated too quickly. My skin is highly sensitive, so if a product doesn't suit me, redness and breakouts appear within a day. Fortunately, nothing like that happened, so I think this is a keeper! The ampoule is highly concentrated, so I expect great effects from it. :) If the results are good, I'd be willing to purchase it with my own money!
ConsCompared to the texture, it feels a bit too lightweight. It's almost like applying alcohol - it just seems to disappear. That's a bit disappointing. It might work better in the hot summer rather than now in the dry season or winter.
TipKeeping it in the fridge and using it feels so refreshing and nice! Being able to avoid direct sunlight is an added bonus.
