When I apply it at night and sleep, the next morning after washing my face, my makeup seems to go on more smoothly.
ConsHowever, I wish the volume was a bit larger. It has no scent at all, but I'd prefer if it had a subtle fragrance.
TipIf you have an important event, apply it the night before, sleep, and then wash your face the next day. Your makeup will go on beautifully afterwards.

Gentle formula I have super sensitive skin, but this product didn't cause any blemishes. However, perhaps due to my thick skin, I didn't see immediate results. I give it high marks for being gentle. 2. Convenience Unlike typical exfoliating products that require dry skin during cleansing, this one can be used as part of your skincare routine, which is very convenient.
Cons1. Scent As others have mentioned, the sour(?) scent was off-putting. I had to hold my breath while applying it and quickly move on to the next product. 2. Packaging Personally, I'm not a fan of droppers. They don't always dispense product to the very end, and sometimes they leak. I'm listing the packaging as a downside.
TipIn the evening, apply an appropriate amount (about the size of a penny) in the direction of your skin texture.

I used to find regular exfoliation a hassle, but skipping it was noticeably affecting my skin. Irritation: I used it every evening for 10 days (except for two days) and experienced no irritation! Initially, I was worried that continuous use of an exfoliating product might cause irritation, but apart from a slight sting when it touched acne scars, there was no redness, itching, or other discomfort. Skin texture: While there weren't any visible effects after 10 days of use, I feel like the results are gradually appearing. The most noticeable difference is in the morning. At first, I didn't realize it, but now I love that silky-smooth feeling when I wash my face in the morning! Though the improvement in skin texture isn't visibly dramatic, I can definitely feel the difference.
ConsScent: It's almost fragrance-free. There's a very subtle scent, but it's not noticeable and seems to come from the raw ingredients. If I had to describe it, it's kind of... acidic? Not sour, but more like 'Oh, is this acidic?' To be honest, it's not a bad smell, but I had to fill the cons section, so I put it here. Texture and absorption: The consistency is quite runny. Looking at the texture, you'd think it would absorb like water, but it actually clings to the skin as it's absorbed! You could say it's pleasantly tacky, or less favorably, sticky. It's a matter of personal preference, but since I'm not a fan of stickiness, I neutralized it with an emulsion and cream on top. Sebum and acne: I had a slight hope that daily gentle exfoliation might reduce acne, since dead skin cells can contribute to breakouts. But of course, this product isn't specifically formulated for sebum control or acne. It's best to think of it as a product for refining skin texture.
TipWhile daily use seems fine, depending on your skin type, you might want to take a day off occasionally or mix it with other creams and emulsions to dilute the concentration. If you're worried about irritation, it's better to use it at night rather than during the day! When going out, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen. The photo shows how much I used in a week. It looks like the product will last quite a while!

Looking at the product information, this ampoule seemed to focus on dead skin cell removal and improving skin texture. It's recommended for use before bed, so I applied it after bathing and before sleeping. I found both the consistency and ingredients to be good. After using it, I noticed an immediate improvement in my skin texture the next morning. The instructions mention using it sparingly if you have thin skin, which made me a bit concerned about its strength, especially since I have sensitive skin. However, I didn't experience any issues during use. The fact that I could feel the dead skin cells being removed makes this product worth using in my opinion.
ConsThe product is fragrance-free, and while I do own a few unscented products, I honestly don't prefer them. Fragrance preference seems to be a personal choice.
TipIt's great to use a gua sha tool for massage after applying the ampoule.

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.Pros1. Texture: Flows like water - Seems suitable for summer application. It's not too sticky, yet it provides adequate hydration, which I found quite nice. 2. Effectiveness: It's difficult to comment on as effects probably don't show up in a short period, and I've only been using it for a few days.
Cons1. Scent: It seems to be colorless and odorless, but personally, I feel there's a slight scent. Every time I applied it initially, I disliked the smell, which made me reluctant to use it. 2. Occasionally, when my skin condition isn't great, applying this serum gives a stinging sensation. I wondered if this product wasn't suitable for me. However, when I used it again later, it was fine, leaving me confused about whether this product suits me or not....
TipDue to my on-and-off usage, I don't have much to say about its pros and cons. However, those with super sensitive skin or prone to irritation might want to consider this carefully before use.

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.ProsMy skin type is oily with few blemishes, lots of sebum (especially on the nose), and thick skin. If I don't exfoliate regularly, my makeup doesn't apply smoothly, and even after washing, my skin feels rough rather than smooth. 🌈Surface Improvement As I mentioned, if I skip exfoliation even for a short while, my skin becomes rough and feels covered in sebum. But after using this, I definitely started to feel a smoothness! When I apply it at night and wash my face in the morning, my skin feels silky smooth and soft - it's truly a game-changer! This alone makes it worth trying for those with similar skin types or concerns. 🌈Makeup Application Despite managing my oily skin, makeup often didn't sit well, especially around my nose. Even sunscreen wouldn't absorb properly, making me reluctant to apply anything. I was barely getting by with masks and creams, but with this product, sunscreen and cushion foundation now glide on smoothly! Before, products seemed to just sit on top of my skin, but now I fully understand what it means for skin to 'drink up' makeup. 🌈Convenience I used to rely on Skinfood's Black Sugar scrub and another exfoliator, which were effective but time-consuming and cumbersome, leading to irregular use. This product, however, is incredibly easy - just apply after washing your face at night. It's the least stressful exfoliating product I've ever used!
Cons🔥Texture: Liquid (Unscented) The completely liquid texture makes it a bit challenging to apply as it runs down quickly. You need to use the dropper to quickly apply it to your skin and let it absorb. Having used mostly gel-like textures before, it took some time to get used to. However, once applied, it absorbs well! Unlike gel formulas that need to be worked into the skin, this one doesn't require that extra step. 🔥Skin Reaction: Slight Tingling Even though I don't have sensitive skin, it stung quite a bit when I first applied it. My face didn't turn red or break out, but there was a tingling sensation all over. After a few days, my skin seemed to adjust and it didn't sting as much. However, when my skin is tired or in poor condition, I still feel that tingling. It's probably due to the exfoliating nature of the product, but if you dislike this sensation, you might want to avoid it. The instructions even mention using it every other day if you have thin skin, so I guess this is normal for this type of product.
TipI used it in the evening after cleansing, wiping my face with a toner pad or cotton pad soaked in toner, then applying the serum. After letting the serum absorb, I applied my usual emulsion or cream. You probably don't need to use an exfoliating toner before the serum though. I did at first because the instructions said so, but it felt more irritating, so I stopped midway through. The effects seemed the same without it. You could probably just apply the serum and go to sleep, but I applied moisturizer because my skin felt dry.

After using it the night before, I noticed the next morning that my dead skin cells seemed more refined and the roughness had decreased! I also loved that there was no feeling of dryness. Even though I have super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes popping up or redness!
ConsThe finish feels a bit sticky, which can make your skin feel slightly suffocated. Also, the fragrance wasn't particularly pleasant, unfortunately.
TipSince it's meant for exfoliation, I recommend those with super sensitive skin use it once every two or three days!

Following the peeling ampoule, I noticed my blemishes seemed slightly faded and my complexion appeared brighter overall. With my oily skin type, I didn't feel any lack of hydration.
ConsThe scent was a bit off-putting. When applying, I experienced a slight tingling sensation.

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 a selected member of The Hwahae Testers, I'm writing this review after using the product for a short time. 1. Texture It's colorless with a watery consistency. However, rather than being completely runny, I'd say it has about 2% viscosity to it. 2. Application Given its thin texture, it applies very lightly. You can cover your entire face with just a small amount. 3. Other observations As a night product, I use this after my evening cleanse. The next morning when I wash my face, my skin feels incredibly smooth and soft. The product claims to care for dead skin cells and create smoother skin, which I definitely notice the day after use. I have super sensitive skin, so I was worried about potential reactions. Fortunately, by using it every 2-3 days, I didn't experience any blemishes. I'd recommend this to those who find physical exfoliation too harsh for their skin.
ConsThe scent... While it may vary from person to person, to me it had a sour smell, almost like vinegar? The fragrance might be divisive. Every time I use it, I wince a bit at the scent, but it's tolerable.
TipAs it's a product for dead skin cell care, I recommend using it every other day. Rather than applying a large amount, I suggest applying it thinly, with just a little on your cheeks and forehead.

Also, since wearing masks, my chin area had been constantly rough, but now it seems to have improved a bit. While I can't see a visible difference in my skin, when I touch it, it feels a bit smoother. Adding this after finishing the product! I generously applied the product I received, and it definitely provided intense hydration. I think it would be really great to apply liberally during dry winter months.
ConsThere's a subtle, slightly odd scent. It has a sour smell that I notice some days and not others, so maybe I'm just being overly sensitive. Also, when I gently pat it in to help absorption, it becomes a bit sticky. Lastly, the initial packaging around the lid was extremely difficult to remove. It would be nice if they could design it to be more easily opened, even with fingernails.
TipAs I mentioned above, I think if you apply it generously on dry days, your skin will bounce back to a plump, hydrated state!
