It glides on smoothly without any clumping, and instead of feeling sticky, it's more like applying an oil balm. While it has an oil-like texture, it gives more of a radiant glow rather than a greasy shine! It seems to absorb quickly into the skin. The balm is a two-in-one product, combining both wrinkle and firming benefits, which is very convenient! Among balms, this one seems to offer great value for money.
ConsAs expected, it might feel a bit heavy for summer use, so you'll need to be selective about where you apply it. My cheeks became slightly red and irritated, so I've been avoiding applying it there.
TipApply a thin layer once or twice, and reapply when your skin feels dry! It's better to apply it sparingly on necessary areas rather than applying too much at once.

Just apply it to dry areas right before sleep, and you'll wake up with that nourishing layer still intact! 🔺 Highly recommended for dry skin, especially during fall and winter! However, if you have oily skin or during summer when sebum production is high, it might be a bit too rich and potentially clog pores. 🔺 It's super portable! Great for those prone to flaky skin or with very dry skin to carry around and use on-the-go. If applied thinly, it could even help smooth out any flakiness when touching up makeup. 🔺 The packaging is hygienic with a cap and direct application method, so you don't need to worry too much about cleanliness. If the surface gets a bit dirty, just wipe it once with a tissue and it's good to go again! 🔺 For all these reasons, you can conveniently and hygienically apply it anywhere, anytime, not just on your face but on any dry areas. It's especially beneficial during dry seasons!
Cons🔻 It seems to only replenish oils, not so much hydration. Not recommended for summer use. 🔻 If I had to nitpick, the packaging color is quite dark, making it less eye-catching, which is a bit disappointing. 🔻 It feels more like Vaseline than an ampoule. It's like... a hygienic, convenient, quick-to-apply Vaseline?
TipI keep it on my bedside table and apply it to dry areas of my face after my skincare routine just before bed. It keeps my skin from drying out until morning!

The biggest advantage of this product is that it's easy to apply with a quick swipe, and it absorbs beautifully. It's also great as a substitute for eye cream and lip balm, and perfect for applying to areas like the neck and elbows. For an oil-based product, it feels surprisingly lightweight. The hydration lasts long, and it has decent staying power. The scent is reminiscent of aromatic herbs, which I found pleasant, but it might be a matter of personal preference.
ConsIt's unavoidable due to its oil-based nature, but it does leave a bit of a shiny finish. I only used it at night. With summer approaching, I'm concerned it might feel a bit heavy for all-over face application in hot weather.

As it's getting warmer and my skin is becoming a bit oilier, I thought it would be good to lighten up my skincare routine. Keep that in mind while reading this review! I used this product for about 9 days, only in the evening after my exfoliating toner and skin. Convenience: It's great that I can apply this balm smoothly after my skin without getting the product on my hands! I just gently massage it all over my face. Lightweight: As I apply it, it doesn't feel like I'm layering on a liquid. Instead, it feels light on the skin, but creates a slight coating sensation. If I wash my face with water shortly after applying, it feels like it doesn't come off easily. When I do my morning water cleanse after applying it late at night, it seems to wash off well, as if it hadn't fully absorbed and was still coating my skin.
ConsPlease keep in mind this review is for use in hot weather! Oiliness: As mentioned earlier, while it's lightweight, it leaves a coating on the skin that can feel a bit oily on the face. Looking at the photo, the purple seems to be the ampoule component and the ivory looks like a vaseline-like balm. I wonder if it might be too rich for summer use... Effectiveness: I feel the functional benefits like improving skin texture or reducing wrinkles might be a bit weak. After applying skin, it seems to help maintain moisture when massaged into the face, but if you're looking for multiple benefits, using an ampoule might be better.
TipIt's easier to apply the balm if your skin is water-like, light, and quick-absorbing! Otherwise, it might feel like it's sitting on top of your skin.

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 stick format makes it convenient to carry around and apply whenever you feel dry. It's especially easy to use on the lips and around the eyes. Being oil-based, it quickly moisturizes and doesn't dry out. It's surprisingly lightweight - despite being a stick, it feels as light as a lipstick.
ConsHowever, since it's oil-based, it might be a bit much for those prone to oily skin. It could be particularly uncomfortable for people who sweat a lot in summer. When applied, there's a slight stickiness typical of oil-based products, but this subsides after a while. It's not overly bothersome - if you apply it lightly, the stickiness is minimal. It's not heavy at all.
TipWhen reapplying sunscreen every 4 hours outdoors, I gently wipe my face and notice it feels a bit dehydrated. This is a great time to apply this product lightly. It's also nice to use around the mouth after brushing your teeth.

I've used it consistently since I received it, and it's not sticky at all. The feeling when applied is similar to lip balm? It's convenient to carry around. On dry days, I can see myself applying it regularly even when I'm out. It didn't cause any blemishes. When I apply it before bed and touch my skin in the morning, it feels moisturized.
ConsIt might feel a bit heavy for oily skin types. The rich texture makes it more suitable for fall and winter rather than summer. I'm a bit disappointed since I'm currently using it during summer...

My mother has slightly dry skin, while I have very dry skin. Here's what we found: 1. It's easy to apply. 2. The scent is pleasant and not off-putting. 3. It has great hydration, making it ideal for winter use. (Though this could be a drawback in summer) 4. There's absolutely no feeling of skin tightness. As for the most important aspect - wrinkle improvement - the trial period was too short to see noticeable results. This isn't a product that shows immediate effects in a short time.
Cons1. It doesn't absorb well and leaves the skin feeling quite greasy. This could be particularly challenging to use in summer. My mother described it as feeling like wearing a mask. 2. Due to its balm-like texture, if you apply anything underneath, this product tends to pill. This extended our skincare routine, which was a bit inconvenient.
TipI'd especially recommend this for those with dry skin, as it doesn't absorb well for oilier skin types.

I could easily apply it to problem areas after spritzing on some mist. Application: The two active ingredients blend well when you gently massage it in circular motions. A small amount seems to cover the face adequately. Effectiveness: There's a slight tightening sensation in the applied areas. After two weeks of use, while it didn't completely eliminate wrinkles, there was a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity.
ConsStickiness, Richness: While not a drawback for those with dry skin, people with oily skin might find it too rich, especially in summer.
TipKeep it within reach and apply frequently. Avoid applying over makeup as it may cause pilling.

I thought it'd be so convenient to use without getting your hands messy, and after trying Missha's Ampoule Balm Stick, I can confirm it's super easy to just glide on. I hate getting sticky emulsions or sunscreens on my hands, so I always use a sponge for sunscreen. That's why I really appreciated not having to touch this product. It's perfect for quickly applying when you're heading out bare-faced. I have some fine lines around my eyes, smile lines, and neck wrinkles, so I applied it diligently. First off, I loved the design. The ethereal purple color and the lovely purple center of the ampoule balm made me want to use it more often. After applying, it felt like my skin was filled with nourishment. When I touched my face, it felt incredibly hydrated. It's not lightweight, but very moisturizing, giving the impression that all my wrinkles would smooth out. Haha! Knowing it provides all-in-one care for firmness, wrinkles, and hydration made me excited to use it. I usually dislike heavy products, so I've never used anything this moisturizing before. By my standards, it felt like I was getting an intense dose of nutrition all at once. While using it, I haven't seen any dramatic effects yet, but I felt those areas becoming tighter, so I kept applying it diligently. Also, I prefer products with a slight scent rather than unscented ones. I'm not sure how to describe this fragrance, but it's a subtle floral scent? Anyway, I enjoyed the pleasant aroma. In conclusion, I think this product would work well for those concerned about wrinkles or with dry (even very dry) skin, providing good care.
ConsI prefer a matte finish, but this product is so moisturizing that while it might be great for wrinkle and firmness care, it was actually a downside for me. It felt too dewy, almost greasy, and a bit heavy on my skin (please refer to the before/after photos). I suspect those with oily skin might feel this even more intensely. (I have dry skin, but I'm just guessing...) My hair would stick to it, and it felt tacky, making me think it might not be ideal for summer use. There was a tip to massage in circular motions, which I tried diligently, but not only during the massage - even when I was applying it to my neck in side-to-side motions, the balm kept sliding down... ugh. I also use Bobbi*** foundation balm, and those who've tried it will understand - I wish this product would set firmly like that when applied. It was really disappointing that I had to keep reapplying it as it slid down.
TipTo address the drawbacks I mentioned above, don't hold the body of the stick - instead, grip the twisting part when applying, and the balm won't retract. (It's obvious, but since it kept sliding down, that's how you should use it... unless... could it be just mine that's sliding down...? Hmm...) For those like me who dislike the dewy finish, applying a mattifying emulsion as the final step can help counteract it a bit.

It doesn't absorb immediately, leaving a slight sheen under the eyes. This is common for night creams, so it's not really a drawback. * Effectiveness: It definitely reduces dryness, and after a week, I feel like there's a bit more elasticity around my eyes? It's still early days though, so I'll need to use it longer to be sure. * Quantity: Compared to the leading multi-balm product, this one has 1g more and is slightly cheaper. * Very portable.
ConsI'd like to use it on my neck too, but it's a bit sticky. I probably won't use it there during summer.
