The bottle design is also impressive - you can twist it to reveal the serum dispenser, and twist again to hide it, which is great for hygiene! The Hwahae Testers will love that this serum has a unique texture - it's both rich and fluid. It absorbs well into the skin without pilling, which is fantastic! As for effectiveness, the weather has been quite dry lately, so I've been using this serum along with other heavier ampoules and creams. My skin does feel more resilient, but it's hard to pinpoint if it's solely due to this serum. However, I can say that my skin feels better than when I wasn't using it! Regarding skin brightening and fading of blemishes, I think I'll need to use it more consistently to see noticeable results. I haven't observed any significant changes yet, but that might be due to the short period of use. - pa*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedDec 13, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The first thing that impressed me most when I received the product was the container! It's truly innovative and very convenient. Many containers require both hands, but this one can be easily opened with just one hand, which I really appreciated. The texture is a transparent, runny consistency without much stickiness. I thought it would feel light when applied, but after absorption, it provides quite a firm and bouncy nourishing feeling. It's perfect for those who dislike heavy products. The application is smooth without any pilling. It feels a bit like an aloe soothing gel. You can use it before work or before bed without any issues. I hope refills will be available... It would be great if the container could be reused. For those who apply their skincare meticulously, it might feel a bit light for winter use. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 12, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Hydration It's incredibly moisturizing. It feels like it completely eliminates deep dryness. But don't worry, it doesn't leave an overwhelming oily feeling at all. It truly makes your skin feel super hydrated. I'm not sure how those with extremely dry skin might find it, but I think it's suitable even for those with dry skin types. It provides a rich, plumping moisturizing effect. 2. Texture Improvement Maybe it's because of its great hydrating power, but after using this product, my skin feels incredibly smooth. It's like my pores are tightening up. Anyway, more than just looking better, when you touch your skin, it feels smooth without any roughness. I definitely think this product has a noticeable effect on improving skin texture. I didn't have high expectations for the brightening effects, as I know they usually take a long time to show up, and I don't think basic skincare products can produce dramatic results. There might have been a slight change, but nothing really noticeable! - sk*******Combination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 12, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

After application, it gives a firm, dewy glow that seems to brighten up her complexion. She tends to have dry skin, but this seems to tackle that deep dryness and acts like a booster, helping the next step - her cream - absorb even better. Those who dislike sticky textures might not be fans. While it absorbs well if you work it in, the overall feeling is quite rich and tacky. - fi**********Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedDec 9, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The serum is wonderfully hydrating. After application, my face doesn't feel tight at all. There's a noticeable difference between using it and not using it. If you look at the picture below, you'll see my right fist is the hand without the product, while the left hand has it applied - can you see the difference in glow? Throughout my use, I didn't experience any blemishes and it absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. It absorbs really well into the skin. After finishing the product, I definitely plan to repurchase. I don't really have any specific complaints. The container feels heavier than expected, which might give the impression that there's less product inside. The packaging uses a twist-off cap, which is fine in its own way. Usually, after toner, I apply an ampoule and then a serum, but for testing purposes, I only applied toner and this serum - surprisingly, my skin didn't feel tight at all. If you apply a rich cream after this serum, it would work even better. I have extremely dry skin, but this worked better than I expected. - ns*******Oily SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 9, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

When I first received this product, I had high expectations. Being priced at $110, I was curious about what kind of product it would be. From the moment I got it, the packaging stood out. It felt thoughtfully designed, with the serum bottle featuring a gold top that rotates to reveal the dispenser. But let's cut to the chase - the fascinating thing about this product is how it stretches like silk threads when you apply it to your skin. You know how glue stretches? It's like that, creating a web-like texture with a unique consistency. It was my first time experiencing such a formula, so I applied it with intrigue. The finish is just right - not sticky, but not completely disappearing either. It's that perfect middle ground. The effect can vary depending on the toner you use underneath. With a heavier toner like Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Liquid, you can achieve an even more hydrated result. Anyway, I went to bed with high hopes and woke up with an intriguing feeling. My blemish marks hadn't faded, but mysteriously, my skin condition had improved. It's one of those things only you can notice - that 'my skin looks pretty good today' feeling. Overall, my complexion seemed better, and my skin tone appeared more even. Also, I had been aggressively trying to extract stubborn blackheads with cotton swabs the night before, leaving my skin all scraped up. I applied this serum for three consecutive nights, and I noticed it helped my skin recover faster than other ampoules. It definitely seemed to accelerate the skin regeneration cycle. After using this ampoule for about a week, I can say it really boosts skin condition. When I wake up after applying it, rather than feeling like my skin has become lighter, it's more of an even tone and reduced redness from blemishes kind of effect. I recommend this serum. There's nothing disappointing about the product itself. However, given the current focus on environmental issues and waste reduction, the packaging felt a bit eco-unfriendly when I received it. There seemed to be some unnecessary packaging steps that could have been reduced. Of course, this is a $110 product, so they probably felt the need to package it impressively to match its value, especially since first impressions are important. Still, it would be nice if the brand could incorporate environmental consciousness into their values. These days, other brands are making various efforts to consider the environment and reduce waste - using alternative materials, soy ink, and whatnot. Consumers have become accustomed to this and even expect it, so excessive packaging can actually create a negative impression. Be careful not to mistake the gold part for a cap and try to lift it off - I almost broke it that way! I found that if I finish with a basic emulsion like Cetaphil after applying the serum before bed, my skin looks even better in the morning. Not sure why, but it works! - yo********Combination SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRecommendedDec 9, 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.This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. My skin type is typically very dry underneath, prone to blemishes, and sensitive with redness, so I'm quite picky when choosing skincare products. - Blemishes: For my skin type, serums usually cause more severe reactions than creams when they don't suit me. However, I was able to use this product without any issues. - Design: The packaging has a clean design that hints at the product's ingredients and effects. It looks luxurious, justifying its high price. The container is hygienic and user-friendly. - Skin appearance: When applying makeup, it doesn't cause pilling and gives a subtle glow, creating a beautiful complexion. - Stickiness: It's less sticky than expected and absorbs well with a lightweight feel. - Hydration: As someone with deep dryness, I found it slightly lacking in moisture. However, I usually apply heavy creams, so if both the essence and cream were too rich in hydration and oil, I might have broken out. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedDec 9, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Even in winter, it's so hydrating that I can get away with just applying this serum at night. It even tackles my deep dryness issues. The only slight downside is that you can't use up every last drop due to the packaging, but honestly, that's not a major concern for me. - la******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedDec 9, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The texture has a slight viscosity, more like a runny consistency rather than honey-like stickiness. After application, it maintains a hydrated glow. While I'm not sure about the brightening effects, it does give a feeling of plumping up the skin from within. There's definitely a noticeable improvement in skin condition the next morning compared to before using the product. (Even with alternate day use, there's a visible difference between pre and post-application) The packaging is a bit oversized compared to the actual product amount, which doesn't seem environmentally friendly for reuse. There's surprisingly little product information provided. While there's an included pamphlet, it focuses more on other products than the one received. You need to do extra research to find out more about the product, which is when you discover the shocking price - makes you think twice about purchasing. This isn't specifically about this product, but applies to most Hwahae Testers reviews: the review period is too short to fully experience and report on the effects, especially for high-end/functional cosmetics like this. While some products can be evaluated in 3 days, items like this really need about 3 weeks to properly assess their effects and provide a thorough review. This has been a recurring issue with Hwahae Testers products, but it's particularly noticeable with this high-end/functional item. I hope this can be improved... (It seems like a quality control issue, especially considering the price of the product) Personally, I think for those with dry skin, using this serum along with a light cream that contains both oil and moisture would be better for locking in the serum's hydration, rather than using it with just a moisturizer. - rb******Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedDec 9, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

My skin reacts sensitively to changes in environment and lifestyle habits. While I can use products that feel slightly oily, rich barrier creams tend to cause blemishes on my skin. Having sensitive skin, it's best to stick with products that work well, but I also enjoy trying new ones occasionally. In the past, I often struggled with incompatible or irritating high-performance ingredients, but nowadays, I've built up enough data to generally find suitable products just by looking at the full ingredient list. This product also had no irritating ingredients and contained many that work well for me, like hyaluronic acid, so I applied to be a Hwahae Tester. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This review is based on 8 days of use (12.02~12.09). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Texture and Characteristics: The texture is like a viscous runny nose, but on the thinner side. When you pump it onto the back of your hand, it tends to drip easily. It has a hydrating texture with almost no oily feel. When applied, there's no stickiness or residue, and it absorbs quickly. User Experience: It's not a rich serum, but rather a light, hydrating formula that's easy to apply without feeling heavy. Despite being lightweight, it didn't feel lacking in moisture. With some products, I often experience deep dryness or tightness, but this serum felt just right - neither too little nor too much. Also, as someone with sensitive skin prone to unexplained allergic reactions, I always check for itching or redness first when trying new basic skincare products. Overall, there were no major issues, probably due to the lack of irritating ingredients. Effects After Use: The product promotion used the hashtag #GlowSerum, and interestingly, there's a slight magical sparkle right after application. Unlike the oily shine from moisture-barrier ingredients or the artificial glow that feels like a film on the skin, this has a dewy sparkle. I'm not sure if this is good or if it affects the skin, and it does fade over time. I check the effects by applying it in the evening and observing the skin condition the next morning. Products that suit me well result in a natural sebum-like glow and tightened pores in the morning, while unsuitable ones leave the skin dry or with loosened pores. While it's winter, so I don't get that natural sebum feel, I do notice just the right amount of hydration and a visible glow. This might partly be due to my good skin condition lately, but at least it seems this product suits me well. Packaging and Container: Though unrelated to the contents, the packaging and container were impressive. It came in an elegant cylindrical case, and the design and color of the cosmetic container itself were beautiful. It had a luxurious, feminine feel that would look at home on a woman's vanity. The top of the container can be rotated to reveal the pump, and rotated back to hide it. This structure eliminates worries about leakage in a swim bag, which is often a concern with pump-type cosmetics. It's also convenient to use without needing a separate cap, making it a good design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I usually use basic skincare products without high expectations, thinking it's fine as long as they don't cause allergies or blemishes. But I was surprised by how well this product suited me. While my recent regular lifestyle and finding a good combination of moisturizing products have contributed to my good skin condition, I believe this serum has also had a significant impact based on how it feels. I couldn't review aspects like whitening, wrinkle improvement, or pigmentation reduction within this short review period, so I focused on its basic skincare properties. Even without considering its functional claims, it seems to be a good product. While the container and design might suggest a rich, nourishing serum, it's actually lighter and more hydrating than expected. Those with dry skin might need to pay extra attention to moisturizing. Also, the price is quite high, and the discount isn't particularly significant. I'll come back when I've earned more money! I'm adding some products that caused blemishes for me. Please note that individual experiences may vary, so use this information as a reference only. Products that didn't suit me well (problematic ingredients): - The Ordinary, Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (high concentration of niacinamide) - Sidmool, Dr. Troub Retinol 1.1% (retinol) - Torriden, Centella Real Cell Meizing Mask Pack (high concentration of niacinamide) - From Nature, Galactomyces Age Essence (high concentration of niacinamide, galactomyces ferment filtrate) - Keep Cool, Soothe Bamboo Toner (citric acid...?) - Matiderm, Photo Age Ampoule (high concentration of ascorbic acid, retinol ester) - Matiderm, Night Renew Ampoule (high concentration of AHA) Also: - Aestura, Atobarrier 365 Cream (non-inflammatory blemishes) - Amplen, Ceramide Shot Ampoule Mist (mild allergy) - Torriden, Dive-in Skin Booster (mild allergy) (These are all rich skin barrier line products. Possibly due to ceramides)
