This was super convenient when I'm in a rush in the morning. * Scent It's not irritating and very gentle. I can't quite describe it, but it's so mild it's almost unscented. * Non-irritating I have super sensitive skin and usually experience some irritation for a few days when switching cosmetics, but I didn't have any issues with this one.
Cons* Light texture While the texture is similar to a toner, which makes for quick absorption, it doesn't keep the skin hydrated for long. It might be fine in summer, but it can feel a bit dry for winter use.
TipSince it's a serum, I apply a cream over it. I found that mixing in a tiny bit of oil before application keeps my skin moisturized for longer, which works great.

After applying this product carefully to my reddened skin, I was amazed at how quickly it calmed the redness. The water-based formula absorbs well and isn't sticky at all, which is exactly what I prefer. It's perfect for my super sensitive skin!
ConsMy skin is typically combination but leans towards dry, and in winter it becomes extremely dry. Initially, this product felt quite hydrating, but it seemed to dry out faster than other products I've used. If you have dry skin, you'll likely need to apply a generous amount of moisturizer immediately after this absorbs.
Tip- Use for calming redness (works well even on larger areas) - For those with dry skin, quickly follow up with the next step in your skincare routine after this absorbs (The drier your skin, the more swiftly you should move to the next product)

Due to its thin consistency, it absorbs quickly, but might not provide enough hydration for dry skin types. While I can't speak to its effectiveness on blemishes since I don't have any, it seems to work well in soothing skin irritated by cold winter winds and hot heater air. After applying toner, I found that either layering this product twice or using it as a 5-minute mask with a thin cotton pad left my skin feeling noticeably calmed. Its gentle formula makes it great for soothing skincare without being too harsh.
ConsIt may be slightly lacking in hydration, but as it's primarily a calming serum, it seems to focus on its core function effectively.
TipFor both soothing and hydration, try this routine: toner -> layer the calming serum twice -> finish with a moisturizer.

['Mui - Centella Teca Calming Serum' Review] (1) Ingredients As you can see on the Hwahae app, all ingredients are gentle, so even with my super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation whatsoever! The key ingredient, 'Centella Asiatica Extract', provided quick soothing effects! (2) Texture The texture is slightly more fluid than my usual Torriden serum, like a runny gel! It absorbs faster than other serums, and while its lightweight formula might not be quite enough for intense hydration, it's very comfortable to use! (3) Effects The most noticeable effect I experienced was the 'soothing' power! Just before using this product, I had developed small blemishes on my forehead, around my mouth, and on my chin due to the extremely dry weather. I applied the product twice all over my face, then once more on the blemished areas before bed. The next morning, most of the blemishes had subsided, except for a few! After consistently using this method for about a week, all the small blemishes have now disappeared! On the other hand, as I have extremely dry skin, I didn't see significant improvements in hydration. However, for oily, normal, or typically dry skin types, this level of hydration should be sufficient! [Recommended Skin Types and Consumers] 1) Strongly recommended for those seeking noticeable 'soothing' effects, and for acne-prone & sensitive skin types! 2) Recommended for those looking for a lightweight 'soothing' serum that isn't too heavy! 3) Recommended for sensitive, oily skin types stressed by excessive sebum production! (Centella extract is excellent for its antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, which are great for oily skin too!)
ConsThe most disappointing aspect for me was the 'hydration' level. As I have extremely dry skin, the lightweight serum's moisture seemed to disappear quickly. To address this, I used it alongside the Torriden serum and followed up with the relatively heavier Physiogel (which has a higher oil content), which solved the hydration issue! (To be honest, the soothing effect was so impressive that I can overlook the slightly lacking hydration a hundred, even a thousand times over!)
Tip(Morning) Cleanse - Toner (Round Lab Dokdo Toner) - Mui 'Centella Teca Calming Serum' - Soothing Cream (Aestura Atobarrier 365 Hydro Soothing Cream) - Moisturizing Cream (Physiogel) (Evening) Second cleanse - Toner (Round Lab Dokdo Toner) - Mui 'Centella Teca Calming Serum' - Hydrating Serum (Torriden Dive-In Serum) - Soothing Cream (Aestura Atobarrier 365 Hydro Soothing Cream) - Moisturizing Cream (Physiogel)

To accurately assess the effects, I maintained my usual skincare routine, only adding this serum. True to its name as a 'Cica Calming Serum', its soothing power was the most noticeable feature. While it didn't significantly impact small bumps, it definitely had a calming effect on whiteheads and blemishes with redness. Even without using spot treatments, some whiteheads subsided, and areas where I had popped blemishes seemed to heal faster than usual. The texture is incredibly lightweight, almost water-like with just a hint of viscosity, and it absorbs extremely quickly. I appreciated how well it harmonized with my other skincare products without any pilling issues. It's also fragrance-free.
ConsDue to its water-like consistency, it offers very little in terms of hydration or moisture. For winter, you might need to add another layer of the Cica Calming Serum, and even in summer, I'd recommend incorporating it into your existing routine unless you have extremely oily skin. It simply doesn't provide much hydration. While there's an initial feeling of moisture when applied, it quickly absorbs leaving no residue whatsoever. This didn't bother me, but some might find this aspect disappointing. Also, while its soothing effects are excellent, it didn't show any ability to prevent blemishes.

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.ProsI have combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone and enlarged pores. First off, I love the eco-friendly packaging! It made a great first impression - the paper box and paper cushioning are fantastic. The scent is very subtle, with just a hint of centella. It's not noticeable enough to be bothersome at all. These days, it seems like more people are choosing skincare based on ingredients, so we're seeing a lot of products with great formulations. This Muih Centella Serum is no exception - it has wonderful ingredients with a high concentration of centella extract, which I really appreciate! Thanks to the high centella content, it has a great soothing effect. I currently have a few blemishes, but after using this serum for 4 days, I can see them starting to calm down.
ConsI'm really focused on hydration during winter, but since this is a soothing serum, it seems to prioritize calming effects over moisture. After applying it over my toner, it absorbs quickly, but the hydration doesn't last very long, unfortunately.
TipYou'll definitely need to pair this with a nourishing, hydrating cream to avoid dryness! As it's a soothing serum, it might work better in spring or summer rather than the drier winter months. To maximize its calming effects, try layering it about 3 times for best results!

Subtle fragrance - It's practically unscented. You won't notice any strong smell. 2. Non-sticky texture - The slightly runny formula initially drips when applied, but once absorbed, it leaves your skin feeling firm without any stickiness. 3. Excellent absorption - It spreads easily without feeling heavy or sticky, and you can feel it sinking into your skin nicely. 4. Soothing effect - I have super sensitive skin, but with consistent use, I could visibly see some raised blemishes starting to subside. 5. Gentle on skin - As mentioned, I have sensitive skin, but I experienced no tingling or itching sensation at all.
Cons1. Very thin consistency - While this might be ideal for those like me who dislike sticky or heavy products, others might consider the runny texture a drawback. 2. Hydration level - The serum isn't exceptionally moisturizing, so you may need to follow up with a more hydrating emulsion to prevent flaking. It feels hydrating at first but tends to dry quickly.
Tip1. Mist toner - Spray your regular toner on your face using a mist bottle. 2. Toner mask - Apply a suitable toner mask to your face and wait for 12 minutes. 3. The Hwahae Testers' Serum - After removing the toner mask, apply the serum to your face, focusing on absorption. 4. Emulsion - Finish with an emulsion that works for your skin type (recommend a richer emulsion than the serum).

As you might guess from its consistency, it's an incredibly lightweight ampoule. It absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky residue after application. I think those with oily skin who prefer a clean, non-sticky finish will really appreciate this product.
ConsHowever, being such a light product, it fell short in providing enough hydration to combat deep dryness in winter. It might be more suitable for use in the hot summer months when you want something lightweight! Also, I didn't notice any significant soothing effects. But to be fair, I've never experienced dramatic results from other soothing products after just one day of use, so I'd say this is a decent, easy-to-use soothing product overall!
TipRight after the ampoule absorbs, there's this... squeaky clean feeling? So when you try to rub it in, your fingers start to skip across your skin. Personally, I wasn't a fan of this sensation, so if you're like me, you might prefer patting it in gently rather than rubbing it to help it absorb.

It absorbs well and layers nicely without pilling. It's incredibly gentle - I felt no tingling sensation even when applied after acne extraction. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found I needed to layer it for adequate hydration. The absorption is quick, leaving no sticky residue. It has a subtle, pleasant scent.
ConsThe hydration level might not be sufficient for those with dry skin. It's probably more suitable for combination or oily skin types.
TipThis serum works hard to balance oil and moisture, making it ideal for those looking to achieve that coveted Inner Glow without irritation. Its gentle formula is perfect for super sensitive skin types seeking effective skincare solutions.

After using this ampoule consistently for about 5 days in the evening, the bumps disappeared! Mooi is a brand I'm not familiar with and seeing for the first time, but these days it seems like good quality products are coming out, probably because ingredients are important and consumers have become more discerning. I'm really happy about that. *Scent: There's a subtle Centella asiatica fragrance. Personally, I've encountered it often, so I didn't mind it! *Texture & Feel: It's lightweight with a runny consistency. I recommend it for combination dehydrated and oily skin types. Due to lack of hydration, I applied it in two layers. Since it's not an oil-heavy ampoule, it didn't feel heavy on the skin. *Value for money: 50ml for 23,200 won - neither cheap nor expensive. The size is good, and if it goes on sale on Hwahae, I might repurchase it. However, I'm not sure where else it's sold.
ConsFor those with dry skin, it might lack hydration for winter use. This can be somewhat compensated by applying two layers and using a moisturizing cream afterwards.
