Pros
It seems to be a suitable product for me, as it does not cause any irritation or trouble.
Cons
If the previous step is not properly absorbed, there may be a phenomenon where the ampoule is delayed! Although I don't mind it, there is a slight stickiness even after absorption.

Pros
⚠️ Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review I was pleasantly surprised when the package and product design were so beautiful when it first arrived! Although I was selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, I will write this review honestly! 💚Advantage 1💚 Effective in soothing acne✨ I used this product morning and night, and many of my painful acne and small bumps disappeared. 💚Advantage 2💚 Improved skin texture and condition✨ My skin has been receiving a lot of irritation lately, especially with the dryness and flakiness in the winter, but I didn't do any additional exfoliation. However, I noticed my skin texture significantly improved after using this product. 💚Advantage 3💚 Suitable for oily skin without stickiness✨ As someone with an oily T-zone, winter skincare has always been a concern for me. If I apply too much moisturizer, I'll break out the next day, but if I use too little, my skin gets dehydrated. This product has a water-based formula, so I could apply it generously without feeling sticky, and it absorbed nicely into my skin, leaving a supple and bouncy feel. 💚Advantage 4💚 Reasonable price✨ The original price is 27,900 won, but it's sold for 13,950 won on the Pure Foret website, which I think is a very reasonable price. The website may not have daily discounts, so it's best to purchase when there's a sale.
Cons
❤️Disadvantage 1❤️ Pilling under makeup💦 I used this product morning and night, including before applying makeup, and I noticed some pilling when I was doing my makeup. It's probably better to use this product at night rather than in the morning. ❤️Disadvantage 2❤️ May be drying for dry skin types💦 While this product worked well for my oily skin, those with dry skin may find it a bit drying.
Tip
🍯Tip 1🍯 Store in the refrigerator🌼 Storing this product in the refrigerator and using it chilled helped a lot in cooling down my face. 🍯Tip 2🍯 Purchase from the brand's website🌼 As mentioned earlier, you can buy this product for 13,950 won on the Pure Foret website.

Pros
☃️ It feels like it's packed with only good and gentle ingredients. As someone who doesn't see much effect from products with cica, this one seemed to make a slight difference! ☃️ The calming effect is definitely remarkable! Since it contains a lot of cica and centella extracts, the redness subsides a lot when I wake up in the morning, and my acne also calms down! ☃️ The dropper sucks it up really well, which I love ㅠㅠ I've seen many other products with poor absorption, so I'm glad the Pure Foret one worked well! ☃️ Honestly, the scent might be divisive, but I personally loved it! The strong cica scent made me feel like it was really calming...💁🏻 ☃️ It has a nice, spreadable texture, with a viscosity between water and lotion, so it's easy to use without feeling heavy.
Cons
☃️ The volume is too small ㅠㅠ 30ml... Is this for real?🎩 ☃️ It was too drying for my cheeks, which are on the dry side. Even when I used a lot, it evaporated quickly, leaving a dry feeling ㅠㅠ ☃️ When I apply this ampoule and then a lotion, it creates an egg white-like foam. So I have to pat the lotion on gently. I'm not sure if the ampoule is just floating on top or what...
Tip
I first use the Cellpion C Pore Tox Pad to refine my skin texture, then the Tony Moly Mochi Toner to add some moisture. After that, I apply the Pure Foret ampoule or the Welage Blue Ampoule, and finish with the Dokdo Lotion!!! This is my own routine that gives me a supple, non-drying skin...🤍

Pros
The packaging is environmentally friendly and pretty, which made me feel good when I received it! The dropper has a slightly sticky feel, which gives a sense of better sealing. My skin is very sensitive, and I'm usually very particular about the ingredients, but even when my skin was irritated, there was no stinging or further irritation when I applied it. That alone made me extremely satisfied! The scent was not as bad as some people say, and the centella scent was fine.
Cons
The downside is that it feels more watery than a typical ampoule, and if you apply too much, it can feel a bit heavy. When I first took out the dropper, it felt a bit stiff and didn't come out easily, which was a bit disappointing.
Tip
After cleansing, I use a soothing pad and then apply this ampoule in two thin layers. I finish with a soothing cream, and my skin stays hydrated and calmed until the next day. The reddened areas become less inflamed.

Pros
This product seems to effectively replenish the lack of moisture during the winter season. The non-runny liquid texture is convenient to apply, and the spreadability and absorption are good. The initial absorption is faster than expected. The color is a transparent brown. As I have sensitive and allergic skin, I was worried, but fortunately, this product suited me well. It has a scent reminiscent of cedar. The eco-friendly delivery packaging made a good first impression.
Cons
There was a rather sticky feeling that lingered for quite a while after absorption. It seems to need some time for the application to be fully absorbed. While I haven't tried applying makeup on top of it, I have a feeling it might cause caking or pilling if not done properly. It's best to avoid using this in a hurry when getting ready. The scent seems a bit irritating, so the product itself might also be potentially irritating. Those who don't like the fragrance may not enjoy this product.
Tip
Apply and allow it to fully absorb before doing your makeup. Or, it could be a good option to use before bedtime.

Pros
The product was used through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event! I mistakenly thought the review upload period was longer, so I ended up leaving a review after using it for a while.😅 First, I liked the simple and uncluttered packaging when I received it. The formula is a dripping type, so it's in a dropper form, which wasn't too inconvenient to use. However, when applying it directly to the face, it can drip down, so caution is needed. Compared to the formula, it felt quite heavy, but I liked the feeling of it locking in moisture. As a sensitive skin type, even a little excess oil can immediately cause irritation and breakouts for me. But when that happens, I can quickly wipe it off and use this product to soothe and replenish moisture. During the usage period, I also underwent Infini treatments, and this product was able to sufficiently provide moisture to my thin and dry skin from the treatment, which I was satisfied with. Most of all, it wasn't irritating at all.☺️ As a clumsy person, I've often almost spilled it, but I was really happy that even if I don't close it tightly, the packaging is so well-sealed that it doesn't leak out when knocked over.🤣
Cons
If you apply it just the right amount, the base makeup adheres nicely, but if you apply too much, the makeup can shift, so adjusting the amount is essential before makeup!

Pros
The soothing effect is great. After cleansing, the reddened skin calms down quickly The scent may be divisive, but I like earthy scents like this, so it was fine for me I have a cream-applying skin even in the summer, so I apply this and then put on eye cream and moisturizer. It's not extremely hydrating, so I recommend applying a cream.
Cons
It absorbs a bit slowly It can be difficult to apply makeup over it

Pros
✅ Packaging Condition First of all, the packaging was so neatly done that I felt really good when I received it! There's no one who doesn't like a pretty package! ✅ Texture It's an ampoule with a viscous texture, not a watery one. I usually prefer a lighter texture, but since it's winter and my skin is dry, it actually worked well for me. ✅ Fragrance The fragrance is not one that everyone will like, but it suited my personal preference. The centella extract gives off a rather strong herbal scent, but I enjoy that kind of earthy fragrance, so I was satisfied. ✅ Soothing Effect The red blemishes disappeared within a day, and were almost gone in about two days! The soothing effect was definite, so I was satisfied. I think this would be quite helpful when my skin condition is poor. ✅ Moisture I didn't find the moisture as appealing as the soothing effect, but it seems to have enough moisture for use in the winter. After applying this, I could use just a lotion without any tightness on my face. ✅ Overall This seems like a product that people troubled by blemishes would want to try. I was most satisfied with how it soothed my blemishes. The amount is not a lot, but since it's an ampoule, I think it will last me about a month. If you're looking for a soothing ampoule, I'd recommend this one!
Cons
It feels a bit sticky when applied! When I put powder foundation on top, it tends to slide. I'd recommend using it only in the evenings or just applying a small amount in the mornings.
Tip
On days when my skin was red and irritated, I applied it once, let it absorb, and then applied it once more. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination, but it felt like it calmed the irritation faster.

Pros
I have sensitive skin, and after receiving the serum, there was a sensitive period where bumps started to appear. The timing was perfect, as I applied it a few more times to the areas with existing and new acne. The next day, the acne calmed down, and the long-standing acne shrank. I also noticed my skin tone becoming brighter, which was really amazing. Compared to the other serums I used before, this one has a thicker consistency and is a bit sticky, but it's also very moisturizing. Because of that, the dry fine lines seemed to be less noticeable, which made me think it was helping with hydration. I will definitely repurchase, as I'm very satisfied. The acne didn't become inflamed or irritated at all, and the long-standing acne is almost gone, which made me so happy. * Moisturizing * Effective for treating breakouts * Visibly brightens skin tone * Helps with fine lines I used this serum along with the Derma Factory Cica Cream after applying the ampoule.
Cons
* There is a peeling-off effect if applied multiple times * The scent may be divisive * The dropper is a bit sticky If the effects are good, the scent shouldn't be an issue. The peeling-off can be avoided by not touching the area after multiple applications. For daytime use or when wearing makeup, apply it lightly.
Tip
While there is a peeling-off effect, the concentrated application on the troubled areas resulted in effective calming of the breakouts. I recommend applying it multiple times only in the evening skincare routine on the problematic areas, and then using a slightly oily cream on top to reduce the peeling. During the day, when wearing makeup, apply it lightly.

Pros
👉 Skin Type: My skin is sensitive and prone to breakouts and oiliness in the T-zone. I generally prefer lightweight and non-irritating products as I don't like heavy formulas. 👉 Ingredients: It contains centella extract, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid, which help strengthen the skin barrier and have soothing and restorative effects. I respond well to centella, but am slightly sensitive to panthenol. However, this product worked well for me without any stinging or itchiness, even in sensitive areas like the chin and cheeks. 👉 Texture: The product had a watery, runny texture when dispensed, but became more dense and bouncy upon application. Some may find the finish slightly tacky. 👉 Absorption: The absorption is not bad. It initially applies with an oily finish, but absorbs nicely, leaving a hydrated result. 👉 Hydration: The moisture and hydration levels are just right for me. In the colder fall and winter months, I do need to layer it with an additional moisturizer. 👉 Fragrance and Color: There is a subtle 'herbal' fragrance, which didn't bother me much, but may be something to consider for those very sensitive to scents. 👉 Other Aspects: I was pleasantly surprised by the product design - the packaging and overall aesthetic are clean and attractive.
Cons
The only minor issue I encountered was that if I didn't properly absorb the previous skincare steps, the product felt slightly 'slippery' upon application. Other than that, there were no significant downsides.
