It absorbs beautifully while moisturizing deep into the skin. An absolute must-have for my dry skin. It really helps refine skin texture too. As it's absorbed, it leaves my skin feeling smooth and supple. Using it before foundation improves makeup adherence, making it a go-to for a flawless base. The Centella extract provides excellent soothing effects. Even when my skin is sensitive, it calms without any tingling. It's a trustworthy product I reach for whenever my skin needs some TLC.
ConsThe price point is slightly high compared to the quantity. It feels like you need to use it sparingly, which is a bit frustrating. It's slightly disappointing when used alone. While it does provide moisture, it doesn't feel like it completely saturates the skin. If you have dry skin, you might need to pair it with a cream for maximum satisfaction.
TipIf you have super sensitive skin and dryness, this serum can tackle both soothing and hydration! It's perfect for achieving smooth, moisturized skin. Once you try it, you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again.

It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight and gives a nice glow. Perfect for people with dry skin.
ConsIt's a bit sticky and tends to pill when used under makeup. Those are the only downsides I can think of.

I'm already using the Madeca cream, you know! I heard this serum improves inner glow, hydration, and dead skin cells, so I gave it a shot. The hydration and glow are truly amazing. The texture is thick and rich, and when applying, it feels a bit tacky. It's even a bit difficult to dispense with the dropper, but it spreads smoothly on the face, creating a moisturizing barrier. As soon as you apply it, you feel this instant hydration and firmness. It also gives your skin a nice glow. However, it doesn't absorb quickly for that fresh feeling, and the stickiness lasts for a while. I think this would be great for those with deep dryness, rough skin, or anyone who feels their skin texture has worsened!
ConsWell... the drawbacks would be the difficulty in dispensing it with the dropper and the fact that you can't apply makeup right after using this. Sometimes the texture can feel a bit heavy. I wouldn't recommend it for those who dislike heavy or suffocating products!
TipIt's better for night than day! The texture makes it a bit challenging for daytime makeup. It takes more time to let the serum absorb fully, apply cream, and then do makeup. That's why I think it works best as a night serum. For those with severe dehydration, use it as a night serum in your evening skincare routine, and you'll wake up with lasting hydration. I've been using it as a night serum, and I'm experiencing benefits in hydration, soothing, and even firmness!

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.ProsAs someone with dry skin and severe deep dryness, I've been using this product alongside the Madeca cream from the same line. * Absorption & Application: The texture is viscous, similar to mucus. It's not a lightweight formula - there's a bit of stickiness when applying, and it leaves a slight residue after application. While it doesn't absorb quickly, it provides excellent hydration! * Moisturizing power: I have extremely dry skin, but this product keeps me moisturized for a long time. When I apply it at night, my skin isn't dry even the next morning! I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with deep dryness. * Soothing effect: It quickly calms the skin when it becomes sensitive, whether due to blemishes or redness. When I have small bumps, applying this along with the Madeca cream makes them disappear by the next day. I absolutely recommend this to those with extremely dry skin. It's been incredibly effective for both hydration and soothing!
ConsThe stickiness can be a bit inconvenient as it makes hair stick to your face. Because of this, I usually apply it generously at night and sleep with a towel on my pillow. Despite this drawback, I continue to use it because of its superior moisturizing power.
TipIf this product works well for you, try using it with The Madeca Cream from the same company. It's even more hydrating and effective for soothing. I've already gone through several bottles of these products.

ConsThe absorption isn't the best. It's more suitable for those with dry skin rather than oily skin types.
TipIf you're not a fan of sticky textures, try mixing it with another serum for amazing results.

It's the best for hydration. My facial tightness disappeared and even existing blemishes cleared up. It's highly effective for dry skin. I love that it's almost fragrance-free.
ConsIt's a bit inconvenient because it's so sticky that my hair sticks to my face. There's an occasional slight tingling sensation. Even considering these drawbacks, it doesn't cause many blemishes (despite my sensitive skin) and the moisturizing power is really good.

ConsI'm someone who's always complimented on my skin wherever I go. I have resilient, steel-like skin that rarely gets blemishes no matter what I apply. When winter came, I felt some deep dryness, so I thought this might help and bought two bottles... Well, I was already using Dongkook Madeca Cream successfully, so I figured this would be good too. On the first day, I applied it and thought, 'Wow, it's really moisturizing and rich!' I felt like I made a good purchase. But then I noticed my hair was sticking to it a lot - can't be helped, I guess. The next day, the parts that touched my pillow started to itch, and red bumps appeared. I wondered if it was the pillow's fault and even washed the pillowcase. I used this every 3-4 days, but each time I used it, my skin would react and get itchy the next day, so I realized this was the culprit. I tried using less, mixing just one drop with my regular cream. It was a bit better, but still itchy with bumps. Sigh... what should I do with this? I can't throw it away, so I'm using it on my heels for hydration. I even gave a bottle to my mom saying it was good. Mom, I'm sorry...

Among their products, I highly recommend the Startoc Serum for those with extremely dry or dehydrated skin, especially during seasonal changes and winter. (Not suitable for oily skin types) There's a noticeable difference in skin tightness on days when I apply this serum before my moisturizer compared to when I don't. When applied, it has a slightly rich texture despite being liquid, but it absorbs well into the skin, immediately eliminating any feeling of tightness. However, you should still exfoliate about once a week to remove dead skin cells. While I wouldn't recommend it for summer, it's become an essential item in my skincare routine for seasonal transitions and winter!
ConsAmong Dongkuk Pharmaceutical's ampoules, the rubber part of the Startoc Serum's dropper seems particularly weak. It doesn't draw up the serum well, so you have to squeeze the rubber multiple times, which is inconvenient. Please consider changing it to be like the droppers for the Madeca Soc Ampoule or Mela Capture Ampoule.

It has a viscous, slightly sticky texture, but once it's fully absorbed, it leaves a pleasantly firm finish on the skin. While it does have that tacky, firm feel, when used in combination with Madeca cream, it provides excellent hydration that's perfect for winter use.
ConsThe ingredients list could be improved. It would have been better if the formulation was a bit gentler. Also, due to its viscous and sticky nature, the ampoule doesn't absorb quickly. You need to pat it in well for proper absorption.
