I was worried it might not absorb well and just sit on the skin since it's not a light, watery formula. However, it absorbs quickly into the skin without any unpleasant stickiness, which is great. My skin is extremely dry, so I usually apply emulsion and cream without fail. With this serum, I think I can skip the emulsion. I've tried using only this serum and cream for two days, and my skin feels sufficiently hydrated without any deep dryness. The dropper is uniquely designed with a bent tip, which should allow me to use every last drop.
ConsAs a fragrance enthusiast, I find the almost scentless formula a bit disappointing, but those who dislike scented products might appreciate it. While I don't notice any issues when using it with heavier creams, my husband feels like his cream doesn't absorb as well when paired with this serum. For reference, he has extremely oily skin!
TipIf you prefer a fresh finish, I'd recommend using this with a lightweight moisturizer. However, if you're like me and feel that skincare isn't complete without a richer finish, I'd suggest pairing it with a heavier cream formula!

Texture The consistency is just right - not too thin or heavy, and it doesn't run. It's an opaque white color that instantly soothes the skin upon application. I tried the Skin Angel Ampoule a few years ago, and while it was calming and soothing, I found it dried quickly due to its lightweight texture. However, this new version strikes a perfect balance of hydration and a non-greasy feel. It's great for creating a dewy look before makeup and works well for both morning and evening routines! 2. Soothing effect While I can't speak to its effect on pustules, I noticed subtle improvements in skin texture and small bumps. It seems particularly beneficial for dry skin prone to minor blemishes. 3. Makeup compatibility Initially, I thought it would be best for evening use as a calming treatment. But I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it under makeup in the morning. It gives a beautiful inner glow while balancing oil and moisture - perfect for prepping the skin!
ConsI haven't encountered any significant drawbacks while using this product so far.
TipThis seems ideal for those with dry skin or combination dehydrated skin types looking for a pre-makeup boost. It's also well-suited for oily skin that tends to develop small bumps due to dryness in the evening. A versatile product that works hard for various skin concerns!

The texture isn't watery like in the photo, but rather a bit thicker, like a runny gel. It doesn't absorb instantly, but takes some time to sink in, providing a moisturizing effect! Moisturizing power - ★★★★★ The moisturizing power is top-notch! It's not too heavy or suffocating, yet it doesn't evaporate too quickly either. It's just right! Hydration - ★★★★ This product is rich in hydration :) When you apply it, you can feel it sinking into your skin, followed by a slight oily film on the surface. Usually, my skin flares up with blemishes and irritation on certain days, but this time it didn't react as badly and there was no redness. I think it's thanks to the Centella Asiatica extract :) Scent - ★★★★★ It's fragrance-free! There's absolutely no scent at all! This would be great for those with fragrance sensitivities.
ConsRight now, with pollen, pine pollen, and fine dust in the air, it's prime time for skin sensitivity! This product seems perfect for this season. However, the texture might be a bit heavy for summer use. It's more suitable for spring, fall, and winter! So when it gets hotter, I'll probably look for a lighter product.
TipI applied this ampoule generously right after using an exfoliating toner before bed. It definitely seems effective in improving blemishes. After applying, I put on a modeling mask pack, which helped it absorb even better, leaving my skin super hydrated. Then, I applied cream before sleeping, and woke up with bright, glowing skin! I highly recommend this method to anyone dealing with skin sensitivity due to fine dust or pollen right now!

There's barely any scent, allowing you to focus on your skin's natural state. It's definitely gentle without irritation and provides good hydration.
ConsWhile it offers hydration, it lacks richness. When I wake up, my skin feels slightly tight and dry.
TipSkin type: Combination dehydrated/Blemish-prone/Super sensitive skin. My skin gets no rest due to shift work, makeup, and mask-wearing. These are my observations from using this product alone.

Scent - Nothing particularly noticeable. Moisturizing power - The slightly rich, sticky texture ensures deep hydration. My cheeks tend to be dry, but this ampoule maintains moisture even without using a cream. Lately, I've been using just this ampoule without any additional cream. Absorption - Due to its rich texture, it's not the fastest to absorb, but it sinks in well when gently patted with your hands. Blemish potential - I had a damaged skin barrier with burning sensations on my cheeks due to using the wrong sunscreen. I successfully restored my skin using just a water-based toner, a licorice ampoule, and this ampoule! This product didn't cause any blemishes. It seems to be very gentle on the skin.
ConsThere's honestly nothing to complain about! This is the most satisfying product I've used recently.

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 used the Centella Cleansing Oil as part of The Hwahae Testers, and I had high expectations because I loved it so much! Here's what I found: ✔️Scent It's unscented, which is nice and not overwhelming. Though I have allergies, so that might be why I didn't notice much. ✔️Consistency I liked that you don't need a lot to cover your whole face. A little goes a long way. ✔️Texture I put this in the pros, but it's actually pretty standard. It's not too runny, which is good. They claim it strengthens the skin barrier, but I only used it for two weeks, so I'm not sure if I noticed that. To be honest, how can anyone really tell if their skin barrier is stronger without using special equipment?
Cons✔️Oiliness I have combination dehydrated skin, and after applying, there was more residual oil than I expected. It leaves a slightly powdery yet oily finish, making my skin look shiny as you can see in photos 3 and 4. I'm not sure if it's related, but I got a few more blemishes. Ugh. ✔️Bottle and dropper design I'm not sure why they made it curved. It's actually more inconvenient, though not a major issue. The biggest problem is that when you pull out the dropper, a lot of product gets on the outside. Also, even when you squeeze the dropper, not much comes out. Why?? So to apply it to my forehead and both cheeks, I have to squeeze twice. The bottle is dark, so you can't see how much is left. It's quite heavy for what doesn't seem like a lot of product. The design is sleek and pretty, but considering practicality, they should change it. For these reasons, I probably won't use it again.

Texture & Absorption 👉 First off, the texture of this product is slightly thicker than your typical ampoule! It's more like an ultra-hydrating emulsion? It doesn't drip or run! And the best part? Its absorption power! I was used to watery ampoules, so I didn't expect this to absorb quickly, but it spreads well and absorbs rapidly! There's minimal residue too! This is definitely its strongest point! 2. Hydration 👉 The hydration is seriously amazing... I had severe eczema on my hands from my part-time job, so I applied some of this while doing my facial skincare routine. It was great on my hands too - not only was it moisturizing, but it absorbed quickly and even showed some improvement on my eczema! This really made me realize just how hydrating this product is! (I still apply it often when my hands feel dry) 3. Ingredients 👉 I've been using another ampoule from this brand (the Madagascar Centella Ampoule), which I love because it really improved my skin when I had severe acne in high school. It's my true holy grail! Switching to this one from the same brand, I didn't experience any blemishes or sensitivity. I trust these gentle ingredients! [☆ The main difference between the two products is probably the texture... While the Madagascar one had great absorption, this one is both quick-absorbing and hydrating, so it's really down to personal preference!] 4. Scent 👉 As someone who dislikes strong fragrances, I love that this is practically unscented~ It seems to have almost no noticeable scent at all!
Cons1. Application Method (Dropper) 👉 Since this product has a more emulsion-like texture for an ampoule, you need to pay a bit more attention when using the dropper. Otherwise, it might feel like it's not coming out well... You need to squeeze it firmly to get it out properly. Personally, I felt the dropper format wasn't the best match for this product.
TipGiven that hydration is a major strength of this ampoule, it might be great to use on your neck or other dry areas too!

Back in my 20s, they'd vanish without a trace in just two days. Now that I've reached an age where I need to carefully manage even minor blemishes to prevent scarring, I find myself seeking out products for damage repair. My routine now involves hydration in the morning and damage repair at night! With so many products on the market, choosing the right one was challenging. But after trying this, I feel like I've found 'the one'. It's neither too runny nor too thick, so it doesn't drip. The texture is like a diluted ointment. Plus, the scent wasn't bothersome at all.
ConsIt's a bit rich, so you'll need to be careful with the amount you apply. When I initially misjudged and applied too much, I noticed whiteheads appearing on my nose.
TipI recommend spreading a small amount over your entire face, gently patting it in to absorb, and then finishing with a hydrating moisturizer. I've been able to use this without any major blemishes or issues with the ingredients, so I'll be repurchasing it once I finish this one.

I thought it would be runny like a typical ampoule, but it's closer to an essence in texture. ✔️Application You can feel both hydration and richness. It doesn't have the lightweight feel of an ampoule, but rather sits on the skin more like an essence. I initially thought it might not absorb well, but when I gently patted it in, I could feel the hydration and it absorbed quickly. ✔️Scent It's fragrance-free! There's no unpleasant or bothersome smell at all. ✔️Recommended for I'd recommend this for normal to dry skin types. I have combination dehydrated skin, so I'm quite oily. In summer, I usually use just an ampoule with a very light moisturizer. This product has a bit of richness, so it might be too heavy for me in summer. I'm not sure about winter, but I plan to use it as an ampoule alternative or layer it under other products in spring and fall. For those with dry skin, it should work well to combat dryness in winter.
ConsWhen you squeeze the ampoule, only a very small amount comes out. At first, I thought it was broken and got worried, but it consistently dispenses that way. This aspect could use some improvement.

Sometimes cosmetics have artificial or strong scents that can be overwhelming, but this one didn't have any of those issues. Texture: As expected from a highly concentrated ampoule, it has a rich, milky-white consistency. It's not runny, but slightly thick. I was worried it might feel sticky when applied to the face, but that wasn't the case at all. It seems to absorb well into the skin. Experience: After using it, I didn't experience any itching or blemishes. I definitely felt that my skin became more hydrated and less tight. Lately, my skin has been dry and feels tight after washing, but applying this ampoule seems to have significantly reduced that feeling. I'll definitely keep using it. Skin1004 - a brand you can trust!
ConsThere wasn't really anything negative to say. I've never experienced any blemishes or issues when using Skin1004 products, so I plan to continue using it diligently.
