After that, I spent over 7 months trying to find the right skincare product, dealing with lots of breakouts and spending a ton of money. I searched extensively for something with similar ingredients and finally found this product. After using it for just two days, I'm absolutely in love! It's like it was made for me. I have sensitive skin that reacts immediately to incompatible products, so I've thrown away countless skincare items. But this one has great ingredients and doesn't cause any blemishes! Just one application leaves my skin feeling firm and eliminates deep dryness. The dropper is also well-designed, dispensing just the right amount. It feels like they really put thought into the packaging. Unlike heavy ampoules or creams that can cause deep, stubborn pimples, this essence is wonderfully lightweight! I'm so happy to have finally found a skincare product I can stick with. I really hope it doesn't get discontinued or reformulated, and that it becomes popular enough to stay on the market. I'm truly grateful to the creators of this product. My daily breakouts have stopped, and my skin looks so much better!
ConsThe price point is a bit high, which is somewhat disappointing. However, the product's overall appeal and generous quantity make it worth the investment, especially if it improves my complexion.
TipI've been consistently using over 4 bottles of this product. The ingredients are fantastic, and I love that I can layer it multiple times. However, the quantity runs out quite quickly, which is a shame. I wouldn't mind if the price increased a bit if it meant getting more product. Also, I'd prefer a different type of container, similar to other essences, rather than the dropper. This product has truly been a lifesaver for me. Thank you so much for creating it!

It's just a plain, odorless, and unassuming soothing essence. As a loyal user of the Soon Jung line, I trusted it from the start. I was worried it might cause blemishes since I'm using it with other products, but there were no issues. If anything, it seemed to have a boosting effect. However, there weren't any dramatic visible changes. It's good for applying to reddened, irritated skin. Sometimes I soak thin cotton pads generously with it, which seems to work well.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that there were no noticeable effects, but overall it was satisfactory.
TipIt's good for mixing with products containing other ingredients.

I loved how it left my skin feeling hydrated without any stickiness after absorption. It's a gentle ampoule that I can apply liberally on my combination dehydrated and super sensitive skin without causing any blemishes. I also appreciated the package design - the print is on a removable cover rather than directly on the bottle, making it easier to recycle. I'd recommend this to those with sensitive, combination dehydrated skin who dislike sticky skincare products.
ConsWhile it's sufficient to use just an ampoule and cream in summer, those with extremely dry skin like mine might need a few more steps during seasonal changes and winter. It seems best suited for seasonal use.
TipOn days when my skin feels a bit dry, I found it perfect to layer an oil-based essence over the ampoule.

My skin is so delicate that if a product doesn't agree with it, my face instantly becomes a blemish battleground! The Soon Jung Cica Calming Ampoule Essence has a slightly watery consistency. It's practically fragrance-free, which is great. After using it consistently for two weeks, I didn't experience any breakouts or acne! However, it's a bit tricky to pinpoint any specific benefits... Given my extremely dry skin, I didn't find this ampoule alone sufficient for hydration. But there was a noticeable difference between using it and not using it. It definitely provided a more supple feel and a sense of moisturization! Apart from that, the overall experience was pretty standard.
ConsAs an ampoule essence, I wish it provided a bit more hydration!

The formula has no color or scent, with a classic serum-like consistency that's quite fluid and runny. I think it would be comfortable for anyone to use, and I experienced no irritation or blemishes. However, as someone with skin that tends to feel dry and lacks hydration, I think it would be fine for spring, fall, and even summer, but in winter I'd need to pair it with additional moisturizing products. Still, it's a great product that I can see myself reaching for often without any worries!
ConsWhile I don't have any specific complaints, I'll need to use it a bit longer before deciding whether to repurchase.

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.ProsFirst off, I could immediately tell how gentle it was upon application! - Texture: It's a transparent liquid that flows smoothly like water! - It comes with a dropper! - Fragrance-free! - No tingling or blemishes appeared, and it absorbs well! - The finish felt firm, though some might find it a bit sticky? That's how the finish felt to me.
Cons- It's not a heavy formula, so as someone with dry skin, I felt it didn't provide enough hydration. I ended up layering it twice! I think it might work well for those with combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types! - I didn't see any remarkable soothing effects, so I'd say it's a decent, average product.

I kept it in the bathroom for use right after cleansing, and it worked well for maintaining hydration before applying makeup. (However, this soon becomes a drawback) Among the recently purchased dropper-type products, this one has the best dropper functionality.
ConsIt lacks any distinctive features. Despite being an ampoule essence, it has a thin consistency, and I didn't notice any particular soothing effects or significant hydration. While its gentleness is a plus, the lack of unique characteristics is a downside. At this price point, I probably won't repurchase this product that's neither a toner nor a proper essence.

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.ProsThe delivery was quick and everything arrived in perfect condition. I appreciated the sturdy packaging that's easy to recycle. I've been applying it consistently morning and night, and I'm pleased that it hasn't caused any irritation or blemishes. It's definitely gentle and contains soothing ingredients, so I'd recommend it for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. The texture is a slightly viscous water-type formula that feels a bit sticky when applied. It tends to run, so I use it by dropping a small amount and spreading it over my skin, repeating as needed. I love how it leaves my skin feeling firm and supple even into the evening. Although it's called an essence, I'd recommend using it as the first step in your routine, like a toner.
ConsWhile it's an incredibly gentle product with no major drawbacks, if I had to nitpick: The dropper pressure seems a bit weak. When you draw up the product, it only fills about halfway up the dropper. I've counted the drops, and it takes about 7-8 to cover my face once. Personally, when I applied for The Hwahae Testers, I was expecting more hydration because it contains hyaluronic acid. On the first day of use, I replaced my usual essence with this one and felt my skin become dry. Now I'm mixing it with my previous product. All in all, it's relatively less hydrating, so I want to apply multiple layers. However, due to the dropper issue mentioned earlier, it's a bit of a drawback that only a small amount comes out at a time.

I can feel the hydration right after application, and the moisture lasts for a long time. When I'm at home, my skin doesn't feel tight even without applying moisturizer. The ingredients are gentle, so I didn't experience any blemishes, and the fragrance-free formula was pleasant. The standout benefits of this ampoule seem to be soothing irritation and reducing redness. When I shave, I often get cuts and redness, but this ampoule calmed my skin better than others I've tried. The Soon Jung line offers great value for money, so I plan to keep purchasing and using it in the future.
ConsIt does feel a bit sticky after application, probably due to its hydrating properties. Personally, I prefer a more moisturizing finish.
TipI found it particularly helpful for soothing cuts and redness after shaving, so it's great to use post-shave.

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.ProsScent: It's nearly fragrance-free, so it didn't bother me at all. Texture & Absorption: The water-like consistency absorbs quickly and feels less sticky. It's not completely non-sticky though, so I found it works best as a night treatment. Hydration: Being an ampoule essence, it helps somewhat with deep dryness, but you'll definitely need to follow up with a cream as the final step. Blemishes: I didn't notice any small bumps appearing, so it seems to agree with my skin.
ConsSo far, I haven't found any major drawbacks. If I had to nitpick, I'd mention the slight stickiness. I expected it to feel like water with no residue, but there's a subtle sticky feeling after it absorbs, so the finish isn't completely clean.
