  Pros

  This is a new exfoliating ampoule that claims to create a porcelain-like skin texture. Since my skin's cell turnover is not as efficient due to my age, I had high expectations and started using it. I had tried AHA before, and while there was some initial stinging when first applying it, it worked well in combination with a moisturizer. I used it towards the end of my 20s when I was experiencing some breakouts, and it seemed to work best for my slightly oily skin. However, since my skin is sensitive, I couldn't exfoliate frequently and ended up only using it about once a week. I'd get so excited about the glow it gave my skin that I'd overdo it, only to end up at the dermatologist a couple times. I was intrigued that this next-generation peeling product was said to have minimal irritation. The most surprising thing after using the product was the lack of stinging from the AHA. It has a transparent, non-sticky gel-like texture that looks very gentle. The packaging also plays a role - there was no AHA-typical tingling sensation or sour scent after application. I don't know much about PHA, but I think the combination with AHA helped reduce the irritation. While it didn't give me an overnight porcelain glow, my skin started improving after 3 days of nightly use. This is an effective yet gentle skincare product. Compared to the single-active products I've used before (likely stronger 2% BHA, 8% AHA), the blend of ingredients like rice bran, madecassoside, centella, rosemary, chamomile, evening primrose oil, and flaxseed oil seems to have enhanced the soothing effects and added hydration and barrier-strengthening benefits, making this more than just a simple exfoliating ampoule. The packaging also well represents the brand's gentle, caring character.

  Cons

  I'm not sure if they were trying to mask the typical AHA scent, but there is a strange fragrance that I don't like. After seeing results on day 3, I got lazy with the routine on days 4-5 and skipped the follow-up moisturizer. Then I noticed a slightly itchy feeling on my face, so I checked the ingredients and found tea tree leaf oil. I'm allergic to tea tree, so while I didn't have any major issues in the first 3 days when the concentration was lower, continuing to use it would likely be risky. Compared to other exfoliating products, this has good ingredients, but the price point is high. It's a gentle product, but do I really need this specific one?

  Tip

  If you want smooth, non-irritated skin, this is definitely worth trying.

  Pros

  I have dry, sensitive, and atopic skin. I used the product for a total of two days and followed the instructions on the product page. First of all, I liked the nice packaging and the fact that the fragrance was not too strong. The watery texture absorbed well without feeling heavy.

  Cons

  Is it just me or is the lid difficult to open? It doesn't seem to open easily. Tiny pimples popped up all over my face, so I had high hopes, but since I have sensitive skin, it doesn't seem to agree with me. After applying it, I developed hives the next day, and it was itchy, so I think this product is too strong for me. I'm disappointed.

  Pros

  Skin Type: Combination Skin Concerns: Acne, Acne Scars, Pores 1. Exfoliation - The exfoliating ampoule was not overly irritating. It seems to help improve skin texture. It's a gentle yet effective exfoliating product. 2. Sebum Control - I saw unexpected sebum control effects from this product. It's not drying, but my skin feels comfortable and matte. 3. Pore Improvement - There was a slight improvement in my pores, but the effect was not dramatic.

  Cons

  While it does contain soothing ingredients, it doesn't seem to be a dedicated soothing product. I did experience a bit of itchiness on the areas with active acne at first. The fragrance may be divisive, as it has a slightly refreshing scent, but without any cooling sensation.

  Tip

  However, since this is an exfoliating ampoule, there may be a slight tingling sensation if used after a clay mask or over-cleansing. I found it works well for me when I use it after a double cleanse, without using any other ampoules.

  Pros

  It felt cool and refreshing when applied, so it was easy to use even in the summer. It had a soothing effect.

  Cons

  At first, it felt too itchy when I used it... And I felt like there was something left behind, so I didn't like it much. And it's too expensive for the amount, and they don't have sales that often. It would be fine to just buy it when it's on sale.

  Pros

  The packaging design is pretty and opaque, so it's easy to see how much is left, which is convenient. It has a cleansing oil-like flowing oil texture, but it's as hydrating and lightweight as a toner. There's no sticky residue, so it feels refreshing on the skin after application. I have a combination skin type and used to have excessive oil production, especially on my T-zone, but after using this product, the oil production in my T-zone has decreased.

  Cons

  The scent is a bit pungent and startling. The 55ml volume is small, and the price is too high. It's disappointing that the amount can't be easily controlled, and sometimes when I press the pump, the solution sprays out in various directions. As a person with combination, sensitive, and reactive skin, this product didn't help with my redness and breakouts. My skin condition worsens, and I get acne again sometimes. Additionally, my skin sometimes feels itchy.

  Tip

  I'd generally recommend this for normal, oily, and combination skin types. However, for sensitive and reactive skin with redness, I wouldn't suggest this, as it may irritate the skin. Using this product alone as a basic skincare step can be a bit drying, but adding a cream on top works well, especially for the T-zone area, where the oil production is reduced when using this product alone.
