Pros
The ampoule formula is very dense and creamy, so it helps lock in moisture well after application.
Cons
The bottle's dropper is short and the dark container makes it hard to see inside, so it's a bit inconvenient to use. You can't really tell how much you've used... And most importantly, if you apply too much, it ends up pilling up like flakes on the skin.
Tip
Be sure to apply the right amount. If you slather it on like a regular serum, it will just pile up. One pump seems to be the right amount to cover the whole face.

Pros
The positive aspects: As I have extremely dry skin, I like to apply the serum multiple times in a thick, dense manner before applying the cream. The COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Serum can be applied multiple times in a dense manner without feeling heavy or stuffy, which I liked. The distinguishing factor or difference from other serums is the very unique and distinct black-colored design, which gave me a sense of assurance that the contents inside are well-protected. The dense application went on smoothly, making the next steps of my skincare routine easy. The key feature is the transparent and slightly weighted, clear formula. However, it is not heavy, but rather a moisturizing and dense texture.
Cons
The downside: While applying it densely is a good tip, if you apply too much, it can become excessively sticky. You need to be very careful with the amount used (for dry skin only). Additionally, when using certain sunscreens (the more moisturizing ones), there is an issue where the serum seems to 'ooze' out, which is a bit disappointing. If this is an unavoidable part, it might be better to forgo the use of those sunscreens.
Tip
For the best results, avoid using overly moisturizing sunscreens and instead, apply multiple layers of the serum before bedtime to allow for proper absorption (for dry skin only).

Pros
My skin is sensitive and dry. Lately, I've been dealing with sudden breakouts and dryness, so I've been using every skincare product I have. Before, my skin was too dry, so I was looking for products with a lot of moisture, and this one seems to have helped with the dryness. The fragrance-free formula means anyone can use it without any aversion. The design is clean and feels professional. Compared to other dropper bottles, this one is shorter, which I found convenient to use. (I haven't finished it yet, so I can't say for sure.) I've been applying a small amount to different areas of my face, and the liquid formula spreads well due to its viscosity. At first, I thought it felt heavy, but after it absorbed, there was no stickiness, just a light moisturizing effect.
Cons
However, I think this is because I've been using it along with the other products I normally use. When I apply it together with my regular cream, it sometimes leaves a white cast later on. To avoid this, I've been using it on certain days instead of every day. But at night, I apply it generously!
Tip
Since my skin is very dry, I can't really use matte cushions even in the summer. But using a dewy cushion makes my skin look oily and cakey. So, I mix a drop or two of this product into my moisturizer before applying the cushion, and I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Pros
At first, I was a bit disappointed because it didn't seem to address the dryness and just sat on the surface of my skin. But with consistent use, the dryness was addressed, the surface feeling improved, and there was no tightness after cleansing. It's amazing! In the summer, rich cream products often lead to excess oil and breakouts, but using this product, I can just apply a lotion without needing a cream, and my skin feels so comfortable. It has a slightly bouncy finish that absorbs well, and my makeup applies better too. It's also reasonably priced, so the performance is great for the cost.
Cons
This is a product that requires consistent use to see the full effects. If you don't use it regularly, you may find that the absorption is poor, it feels sticky, and the benefits don't materialize. But after a few days of consistent use, the absorption improves and the dryness is addressed.
Tip
This is a great option for those with dry skin who are approaching summer and find rich creams too heavy, but still experience tightness. You can skip the heavy cream products and just use this alone.

Pros
# One-line Review - Intensely Hydrating, Bouncy Moisture Serum ✨ Skin Type | T-Zone Neutral, U-Zone Dry ✨ Empty Bottle Review / Repurchase Intent O # Bouncy Texture and Ample Moisture The texture is very bouncy, unlike other moisture ampoules, and even for my extremely dry skin, one application was enough. # Non-greasy Finish The concentrated hyaluronic acid feel gets absorbed completely without leaving any oily or heavy sensation. Of course, there is a slightly tacky hyaluronic acid-like feel, so finishing with a cream is recommended. # Modern Packaging The packaging is truly amazing. The signature COSRX professional feel combined with the black glass bottle makes it feel even more premium.
Cons
# Volume and Price At around 16,000 won for 20ml on the official website, it's a reasonable price considering the product quality, but it still feels a bit lacking. If it was 30ml for the same price, I would be more eager to purchase. # Fragrance There is a slightly unpleasant, pungent smell that was a bit bothersome. # Becomes Sticky and Slippery with Excessive Application If you apply it multiple times or in thick layers, it becomes sticky and slippery.
Tip
- Don't apply it directly to the face, instead dispense about two dropper-fulls onto your hands and spread it out before applying, to avoid any stickiness. - Mixing in about two drops of jojoba oil makes it feel just like a high-end oil serum.
