It appears to have a moisturizing and calming effect. The individual small bottles make it hygienic and convenient to use. It would likely have a synergistic effect when used after intense dermatological treatments. However, it didn't seem to suit my skin type. At first, it felt soothing, but within a day my skin actually reacted negatively. It's moisturizing but quite rich, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin. I hadn't realized before, but the price is shockingly high. - z0*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRecommendedSep 30, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

First off, I love how the ampoule comes in small, separate portions - it's so convenient. Plus, the ingredients are top-notch! I've only been using it for about 4 days, but from the very first application, it absorbs well into the skin without leaving any residue. It doesn't make my skin feel dry or tight either - just perfectly hydrated! It seems to be calming my blemishes and balancing my skin. I've been using it diligently every day, but I'm already getting a bit anxious (in a good way!) seeing the product slowly disappear. It seems particularly effective for deep dryness. I absolutely recommend it! I received this product as a tester, so I didn't know the price initially. But when I saw how much it costs, I was shocked! It's quite expensive. While the ingredients are certainly high-quality to match the price... I'm not sure I'd repurchase it after I finish this one. There are so many cost-effective ampoules out there these days, aren't there? Also, the fragrance of the ampoule reminds me of that distinct scent you smell in department store cosmetics sections. The scent is quite strong, so those who are sensitive to fragrances in skincare might want to be cautious. - hk****Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedSep 30, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.Early 30s, combination dehydrated skin here. Until early last year, I had sensitive, acne-prone skin, but now I'm more concerned about deep dryness and fine lines. Absorption: The texture is slightly thicker than a toner, but it applies comfortably and smoothly. Absorption: I've tried applying it both by hand and with a microcurrent device. The key seems to be controlling the amount rather than the method. Patting it in thoroughly helps it absorb without feeling heavy. Each bottle has markings, and I find using one mark's worth split into two applications works best for me. (Using more, especially all at once, might not absorb fully.) Highly recommended for those with dry skin! Packaging: It comes as a set of small bottles. This might be to preserve the active ingredients, and it's convenient for taking to the gym. (Though some might prefer a single larger bottle.) If you're carrying it around, make sure the cap is tight! I spilled a bit while traveling abroad due to my clumsiness, oops! Other notes: Given its noticeable texture, it might be especially good for those with dry skin. I experienced no blemishes or irritation. The scent reminds me of old-school cosmetics - it might be divisive since many products now are lightly scented or fragrance-free. Personally, I'm just glad it doesn't irritate my skin despite the fragrance. Texture & Hydration: While the product has a noticeable feel on the skin, it doesn't seem to provide exceptional hydration - it's more like a thin film forms. I'm considering layering it over a very light serum or toner for better results. Those with very oily skin or who dislike products with a noticeable texture might not enjoy this. I've tried using it both morning and night, but due to its rich texture, I'd recommend it more for nighttime use. I'm grateful for the opportunity to try this great product as part of The Hwahae Testers program! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 30, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, and receiving the inner beauty and mental care stick along with it made me feel like I was treating myself to a gift. The ampoule comes divided into 10 small bottles, eliminating worries about expiration after opening and making it convenient to carry around. My skin type is extremely sensitive. I couldn't find a suitable sunscreen for my skin, so I went bare-faced for over two years. When choosing skincare products, I'm so careful that I'll opt for gentle, non-irritating formulas over those with active ingredients, meticulously checking ingredient lists. Surprisingly, this product never caused any redness, itching, or other reactions. After using it at night, I'd wake up to find my skin looking brighter and smoother in the mirror. I wanted to use it a bit longer than two weeks before writing this review, but I'm writing now to meet the review deadline. I noticed many others commenting on the scent, but in my case, perhaps because I've been conditioned by notoriously strong-smelling skincare like propolis, sea buckthorn oil, and horse oil creams for the sake of my skin... I found the scent to be somewhat mature and sophisticated - like a mother's fragrance? It was a pleasant, subtle scent that I didn't mind at all. The texture is quite fluid - it runs immediately when dropped on the back of your hand. It has a slight stickiness and slip to it, but absorbs quickly into the skin. Personally, I find that with such a runny texture, it can be inconvenient to use when dispensing into the palm, as it tends to slip between the fingers. I wish it came with a dropper for easier application. After cleansing, just lightly prep your skin with toner, then apply a generous amount of the ampoule. Once it's absorbed, follow up with a hydrating, soothing sheet mask. The next day, your skin will have an incredible glow. - rh*********Dry SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedSep 30, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Recently, due to overwork (haha), my skin had become quite dull. I was doing a daily mask routine, but it just wasn't bringing back that vitality. In the midst of this, I consistently used this ampoule for about 10 days, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! Looking at the ingredient list, it seems packed with beneficial components. It's an ampoule that claims to deliver effects similar to dermatological treatments, so my expectations were high. The texture is slightly thinner than mucus? When I applied the recommended amount to my face, it felt a bit excessive, so from the second day onwards, I reduced it to just enough for a hydrated feel. On first use, curious about the ampoule's effects alone, I only prepped my skin with toner before applying the ampoule and my usual cream. After a while, I felt my face tightening? Firming? I thought this must be the lifting effect, but the next morning, it didn't feel as hydrated as I expected, and I didn't notice any major changes. For the second application, to maintain hydration, I generously applied a moisture-rich essence before the ampoule. It definitely felt much more hydrated than the previous day, which was great. The next morning, the hydration was still there, and despite my tired lifestyle, I felt a slight boost in vitality? It was surprising. My makeup also applied perfectly, and there was no dryness. After consistent use for a few days, my face definitely felt firmer and more hydrated. Even though I'm still living a tiring life (haha), my skin condition has improved tremendously. With the increased firmness, my makeup applies well, and the enlarged pores that used to be noticeable are less visible now. I guess the expensive ingredients are worth it - I'm extremely satisfied even after this short period of use. One box lasts about 10 weeks, so I'll add a review after I've used it all. Hmm... the scent is a bit off-putting. It has a ginseng-like fragrance, not exactly medicinal, but it becomes quite noticeable when applying to the face. Those sensitive to scents should take note. For me, it was tolerable. For those with very dry skin like mine, I recommend applying a hydrating product before the ampoule. It seems to lock in the moisture, and the difference in hydration the next morning is noticeable. It leaves your skin incredibly firm and hydrated. - 11*****Dry SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedSep 30, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Very sticky, to the point where it stings when I close my hand - but doesn't irritate the skin.. Initially tested about 1ml using the '7-skin method' (applying frequently with hands after drying), felt dry before bed after a few minutes 9/22 Morning Skin texture is soft! Skin essence (water type)+collagen essence (slightly bouncy texture)+emulsion (mixed with ampoule that spilled;) : Busy morning, wasn't sure whether to apply, decided to mix with emulsion! Ampoule spilled and mixed in quite a bit! But guess what? Absorbs better than when applied alone in the evening, and no issues even with generous application!! No stickiness, but slightly dry; -Evening used with Cynic essence+Vitamin C powder - no blemishes 9/23 Morning Confirmed no blemishes, used a larger amount Felt the stickiness from the first day! Pilling after applying sunscreen and brightening moisturizer! -Difficult to control amount (markings are useless) and 2-3ml in instructions is too much for one application.. A dropper container (with measured amounts) would be more convenient, whether small or large -Excellent for wound healing: Compared 2-3 day old pimple scars: After using ampoule, scabs form and healing time is shorter -Always mix with cream, about 4-5 drops is right -Due to deep dryness felt from 2-3 PM, I mix panthenol ampoule with cream from seasonal changes to winter, but with this ampoule, though not as effective as panthenol, I don't feel as much deep dryness. *The slight tingling sensation seems to tighten the face (might be good for puffiness) - that feeling might be perceived as dryness! Absorbs very poorly and difficult to control the amount When applied alone, it dries faster than expected and feels sticky, that stickiness feels irritating ㅠ Takes some time to figure out the right amount to use It would be better to use a dropper container to control the amount. Absorbs well when mixed with other products rather than used alone - dh*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 29, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.I have combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks and chin, but I'm not super sensitive. Before trying this product, my husband was hospitalized for over a month, and I stayed with him as a caregiver. Unable to maintain my skincare routine, I returned home to find my face a mess - full of sebum, rough texture, more uneven skin, and blemishes everywhere. It was truly in shambles. While at the hospital, I applied to be a Hwahae Tester on a whim. Fortunately, I was selected and started using the product on the 22nd after returning home. For the first three days, I simply applied it to my face and let it absorb. The consistency is like a slightly viscous toner. I prefer scented products over unscented ones, so I enjoyed the fragrance. I usually dislike sticky or oily skincare products, but this one feels a bit sticky when first applied. However, after 1-2 minutes, it absorbs well, and the stickiness disappears, leaving a protective film-like sensation on the face. The dryness on my cheeks noticeably improved. While I didn't notice much immediately after application, I woke up to find my skin texture more refined and a slight glow on my cheeks. Day by day, rather than dramatic effects, I noticed subtle changes that only I could perceive. My dull skin seemed to regain vitality. Although I'd need to use it for at least two weeks to see more significant results, I'm excited about its potential based on my experience so far. I'll continue using the remaining product consistently. I really liked how it refined my skin texture and gave me a natural inner glow. I deducted one star for two minor issues. First, the container's opening could be improved. I understand it might be wide to accommodate the MTS attachment, but when applying by hand, I worry about accidentally spilling the product. For those who don't use MTS and apply it directly, including a dropper or a cone-shaped applicator might be helpful. Secondly, the price is quite steep. Despite the quality ingredients, the cost might make many hesitate before purchasing. On the fourth day, I used a disposable MTS needle I had at home, rolling it over my skin while applying a generous amount of the product. This method definitely enhanced the effects. I'm curious to try the brand's dedicated needles, but when I checked their website, I found those to be quite pricey too. On the fifth day, I applied the ampoule by hand, followed by a regenerating cream, and used a galvanic device to aid absorption. The product absorbed beautifully, and the next morning, I noticed even better results. The more I use it, the more I like it. The ampoule itself is undoubtedly effective. I'm grateful for the opportunity to try such an excellent product. Thank you! - ri*******Dry SkinRecommendedSep 29, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

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.I was lucky enough to be selected by The Hwahae Testers to try this product, so here's my review. First off, I loved that the ampoule comes in small, separate doses, making it hygienic to use. The ingredients seem fantastic too. With salmon extract, low-molecular-weight collagen, and EGF peptides, it's packed with premium ingredients typically found in high-end regenerative skincare products. That's really impressive! The texture is like a runny essence that absorbs quickly, leaving a slight richness and hydration on the skin. While the scent is a bit strong, it's not overwhelming, though I feel it might not be necessary. After using it for a week, my skin feels more hydrated and softer in the morning. As someone with very dry skin who's tried almost every highly-rated product out there, I can say this Alpha Seed Ampoule is truly excellent. While it's too soon to see visible effects on skin regeneration and wrinkles after just a week, I'm confident that consistent use will yield noticeable results. Plus, I didn't experience any blemishes. First off, the price is painfully high. While somewhat understandable given the ingredients, it's not easily affordable for most. Also, the ampoule's opening is too wide, making it difficult to control the amount dispensed. Precious product often drips down wastefully. Adding a dropper to the cap would be a great improvement. To maximize the effects of this pricey ampoule, I used it only at night, applying it first after cleansing and toning. I followed it with a richer essence, and by morning, my skin felt hydrated and plump, not parched at all. I also noticed my complexion seemed brighter. - ki********Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedSep 28, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

While I'm not extremely sensitive, I can't just use anything on my skin. The texture is quite fluid, almost runny. Despite its thin consistency, it feels moisturizing and has a nice bounce to it! There might be a slight stickiness right after application, but that goes away with time. It's great for hydration! I don't feel any tightness after applying. As for wrinkle improvement, I've only been using it for about a week, so I'll update on that after more consistent use. Given its high-end ingredients and potent formula, I was impressed to notice my skin texture felt noticeably smoother when washing my face the next morning! This was actually my favorite aspect of the product - it really refines skin texture. I'm grateful to have been selected as a Hwahae Tester to try this product. They also included the Ceramide Collagen, and using both the ampoule and taking the collagen supplement has left my skin feeling so hydrated and glowing. I'd recommend this for winter use or for anyone looking to improve hydration and skin texture. The reason I deducted one star... In my opinion, the fragrance is quite strong. With the current trend moving towards fragrance-free or reduced fragrance products, I found this aspect a bit disappointing. On the first day I used it, my husband asked from the living room if I had changed my skincare - he said the scent of department store cosmetics was overwhelming! If you happen to see this feedback, I'd like to respectfully suggest considering removing or reducing the fragrance... I also wish the container design made it easier to control the amount of product dispensed, given its runny consistency. I found it convenient that the container has the ml measurement marked on it! Make sure to pat the product in thoroughly for absorption! There's a noticeable difference in skin glow on days when I take the time to pat it in versus just rubbing it on. I think using this in combination with the Alpha Seed MTS would create an even better synergy for skin care. - na****Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedSep 28, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

EGF peptides, high-purity active EGF peptides, collagen - it's like they've packed all the essentials I need in my 40s. The application is incredibly smooth, firm, and hydrating. The moisturizing effect is excellent, and thanks to the low-temperature liposome technology, it absorbs deeply into the skin rather than evaporating like alcohol-based products. After two weeks of use, my scaly, weather-beaten skin transformed miraculously into a glowing complexion. I'm in love with both the ingredients and the smooth, hydrating application. My skin tone has brightened, and the anti-aging effects are noticeably superior to other ampoules. While there hasn't been a significant change in deep wrinkles or dark spots yet, lighter blemishes have faded, improving my overall skin texture and radiance. The fragrance is subtle and pleasant. As someone with dry, sensitive skin who's tried various vitamin, EGF, and retinol ampoules, I often experience blemishes. However, the Alpha Seed Ampoule caused no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend giving it a try. As a first-time Hwahae Tester, I'm grateful for the complimentary collagen supplements. I'm thrilled to start my reviewing journey with Alpha Seed! I haven't found any drawbacks yet. I plan to continue using it consistently. If I notice any cons in the future, I'll be sure to update my review. I use the Alpha Seed Ampoule generously after my weekly at-home microneedling session with a short-needle roller. I used to visit the dermatologist monthly, but since using this ampoule, I haven't felt the need to go. The improvement in brightening and firmness has been remarkable. My daily routine: In the morning, I apply toner, Alpha Seed Ampoule, moisturizer, nourishing cream, and sunscreen. In the evening, after cleansing and using toner pads, I do my daily mask routine, followed by the Alpha Seed Ampoule, moisturizer, night cream, and eye cream. This routine truly gives me that coveted 'honey skin' glow!
