I love applying it generously at night - my face is less puffy the next morning. It's great for morning use too, as it doesn't cause any pilling with makeup. Despite being a lifting ampoule, it feels as light as a hydrating one. After finishing several bottles, I can confidently say the lifting effect is real. Highly recommend for those looking for a slow anti-aging product!
Cons
While the texture isn't disappointing, the price point makes it a bit steep for daily generous application. I wish they'd offer more sales.
Tip
Due to its lifting effect, I make sure to apply it meticulously all the way down to under my chin.

I decided to try out IOPE's new product. It's a brand I trust, so I didn't hesitate much to purchase it even without reviews. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I've mostly been using hydrating serums, but this was my first time trying this product. Despite not being a hydration-focused item, it still leaves my skin feeling sufficiently moisturized.
Cons
I didn't notice significant improvements in wrinkle reduction or skin texture refinement. The product feels quite rich, so it might be better suited for winter use. As expected from IOPE, the price is on the higher side. It would be wise to buy it during a sale!

I really like this product, but it runs out quickly! It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and absorbs well. Since I have very dry skin, I layer this with other products generously.
Cons
The effects don't show up immediately, so you need to use it consistently. It's also quite pricey.

I bought this after watching DirectorPi's video. Trusted IOPE and made the purchase. The texture is on the heavier side, but I like that I can use it both morning and evening. I decided to try it since PDRN is a trending ingredient these days. It's hydrating and gives me a glow the next day. I think it's also effective in evening out my complexion.
Cons
The dropper is a bit stiff to open. Given the high price, that's a bit disappointing.
Tip
I use this with my skincare device. I don't use retinol or vitamin C with the device due to potential irritation, so I alternate daily between retinol, vitamin C, and this Caffeine Shot.

The color resembles coffee with water added, and it has a slightly viscous texture. There's hardly any scent, which makes it pleasant to use. It absorbs well without leaving any residue, and it even gives a slight glow. It might be psychological, but my skin feels healthier and more refreshed. I have combination dehydrated skin that's closer to sensitive, but this doesn't cause any blemishes, so I find myself reaching for it often. It seems they've used a brown bottle, probably for better preservation, which shows they've paid attention to stability.
Cons
The fact that there's nothing special about it is both a pro and a con... Because of this, I think it's overpriced for its features and benefits. They're promoting PDRN and caffeine as the main ingredients, seemingly focusing on firmness as the primary benefit. Honestly, even after consistent use and trying it with home care devices and gua sha, I didn't notice any significant effects. The slight stickiness makes it more suitable for fall and winter; it feels a bit heavy for spring and summer.

This product is fantastic! It absorbs quickly without any stickiness, leaving your skin feeling smooth. It's great on its own, but even better when mixed with high-performance products like vitamin serums. Given that PDRN is ideal for dehydrated skin, it works wonderfully as a base serum. Its texture also helps improve the absorption of thicker products when blended together. It's truly a versatile must-have!
Cons
The formula contains lactobacillus ferment lysate and absorbs so quickly that if you apply it to your hands first, they seem to drink it all up! It might be better to apply it directly to your face.
Tip
For best results, try using this product when your skin is slightly cool. Combining it with a gentle massage can help improve circulation and reduce puffiness. I also found it works great when used with a modeling mask!

I had no idea it was free from harmful ingredients - the formulation is really impressive. I've been hearing great things about PDRN benefits lately and wanted to buy a product containing it. When I saw this also had skin caffeine, I purchased it right away. It's a dropper-type product with an incredibly rich serum inside. Apparently, caffeine has excellent lifting effects on the skin. People who've used it say it really works, so I bought it since I've noticed my skin sagging lately. The hydration is fantastic too!
Cons
I couldn't really feel the lifting effect, but that might be because I'm not using it daily. I'll try to use it consistently every day from now on.

True to IOPE's reputation, the product applied smoothly and absorbed well into the skin.
Cons
As someone with dry skin, I found it a bit lacking for winter use. I personally prefer a more dense texture, which this product doesn't have. Also, the dropper doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle, so you have to shake out the last bits to use it all up.

I've been using this product from January 25th to April 25th. With PDRN products being all the rage lately, I decided to give it a try. It's wonderfully hydrating and helps reduce puffiness. What I love most is how quickly it absorbs, making it perfect for layering with other skincare products.
Cons
There's nothing I dislike about it. In fact, I'm quite pleased that the bottle is a semi-transparent brown color, which should help prevent oxidation.

Although it is advertised as having a calming effect on puffiness, this Hwahae trial reviewer serum is surprisingly good for pores! Even though I'm not sure why, continuing to use it has been great for the butterfly area of my pores. It seems that the PDGF (pdrn) ingredient makes the pores in that area appear tighter and less stretched out. After using it for about 3 days in a row, I can notice a difference when I stop using it. While it claims to help with puffiness, I didn't really see that effect, but my skin just feels more supple overall. It's not a dramatic, definite effect, but more of a subtle, mysterious improvement in my skin. Even though I'm still unsure about it, I keep reaching for this serum and will likely repurchase it.
Cons
The price is a bit disappointing! However, Amore Pacific is a reliable brand, and I trust their technology, so I'll buy it anyway. Personally, I think Olleehyung is the most affordable one. Everyone should purchase it during the sale!
