It is good to use without any issues. There is no irritation and no fragrance! It is just a pure line. It finishes off nicely and tightly after absorbing it.
Cons
The dropper seems to perform worse compared to the others...? That's about it.

- Clean and sleek design - True to its name, the ingredients are gentle (I'm using this as a pregnant woman) - The dropper-style packaging is hygienic (the dropper is quite long, allowing you to dispense a generous amount) - The fluid-like texture provides good spreadability - There is virtually no scent, which is nice
Cons
- The semi-transparent packaging makes it difficult to check the remaining product before discarding the bottle - The glass bottle is a bit heavy to carry around - In the fall and winter, it may feel drying for those with dry skin. It works well in the summer, though

It's great that it's so gentle and mild without any irritation. It absorbs quickly without any stickiness, so I think it will be great to use in the hot summer.
Cons
The only downside is that the volume is a bit small. It would be nice if they had larger sizes as well.

I've been using it for about a week and my skin hasn't broken out, so I think I'll keep using it. I've been using the Soonjung Cica Balm for a while, and since the same Cica line had an ampoule come out, I tried it and it's great. The best part is that there's absolutely no oiliness. Since my skin tends to get damaged when there's oil, this suits me well. The amount that comes out of the dropper is just right. Other Soonjung products have a lot of oiliness that widen my pores and cause skin irritation, but the Cica line doesn't cause any oiliness, which is good. There's also no stinging sensation at all. I hope they don't discontinue this and don't change the formula! Personally, I'd love if they could also develop and release a non-oily moisturizer.
Cons
This product doesn't seem to have any downsides yet. The moisture level at the ampoule stage is just right.

The formula is a water-like serum that flows smoothly, and when patted in, it absorbs quickly and leaves a moisturized feel! The multi-functional formula seems to be excellent! I applied it after toner every morning, and while it looks lightweight, it was nicely moisturizing for my combination/dry skin! I recommend it for combination/dry skin types! It also seems gentle for sensitive skin! Although the original price is 29,000 won for 50ml, it's great that you can purchase it for around 10,000 won during sales!
Cons
Even though it's an ampoule essence, the texture is not as thick as a typical ampoule, but rather a water-like formula. This was a bit disappointing in terms of addressing dryness. However, it seems good for lightweight application!
Tip
After wiping my face with a toner, applying this essence in two layers really worked well! Sometimes I would soak a cotton pad with it and place it on my flushed cheeks, and it would instantly soothe them!

The product was used with a 100-point rating and was quite unremarkable.
Cons
The price is much higher compared to other ampoules and it runs out quickly.

I purchased it again because I used it before and it was good. It absorbs quickly and there's nothing that breaks out on my face, so it's really gentle.
Cons
Since it's so gentle, the dramatic effects don't seem to be there.

The non-sticky formula was great to use. The watery texture felt refreshing even in the summer. The hydration level was decent as well. However, for dry skin that needs more intensive hydration, using this essence alone may not be enough. Since I don't have high expectations for essences to provide intense hydration, I usually add an extra moisturizer, especially in the winter, and it worked well for me.
Cons
I didn't see a significant effect in terms of soothing troubled skin. That said, it didn't cause any additional breakouts either. It seemed to maintain the status quo for skin without active breakouts, so the product itself appears to be gentle and not entirely ineffective. But for already existing blemishes, it didn't have a dramatic effect.

The serum can be used even in the summer without feeling greasy. It seems to be the lightest among the ampoules I've tried.
Cons
Even for oily skin, it can be a bit drying during the seasonal transition. But it worked really well for me in the summer.
